"we have two bosses and they puzzle good men by asking them not to vote for the candidate of the other. "Hut here, praise the Lord, Penrose has put up himself It Is a distressing thing to me tnat after the revelations of the last four years, since Penrose's character was laid bare and his activities In poli tics have become known, and the main spring and reason for his actions has become known It is distressing to me that men who claim respectability set such, a miserable example for others by supporting Penrose.

Letters Form Conclusive Proof of Campaign Methods. No. 4. Positive evidence haa been, obtained to link the candidacy of Boles Penrose -with tho liquor interests. So closely affiliated has he been with the leaders of the or ganizations which have raised $1,000,000 by assessing saloons, breweries and distil leries to return hlra to the United States Senate, that the principal lieutenants of the Penroso machine havo repeatedly held conferences and labored long to draw up the tickets favorable to the rum cause. Evidence has been obtained from per sons who havo attended these confer ences. They will appear, if required to do 50, before a committee in "Washington and lay bare the workings of the Pen rose liquor organization In the event of his election. Had the Senate Committee on Privi leges and Elections permitted the evi dence against Penrose to be made public before election, one of the first lines of testimony would have centred around the offices of the Pennsylvania Federation of Liquor Dealers in the Land Title Building. Here the liquor confer ences have been held, here the relative merit of the candidates was decided upon before the primary election, nnd here the arrangements were made not only to raise portions of the enormous Penrose "slush fund." but to expend the money in the counties whero it would be of the most benefit to the liquor candidates.

In a room on the 15th floor of the Land Title Building, that an Important officer of the State Republican Committee, pre sented the list of candidates to the liquor men for their final rubber stamp. The meeting was held on April 30. Not only have the complete details of this gath ering been made known, but tho Inside workings of the federation havo been brought to light by the investigators who gathered material connecting Penrose with the "slush fund " The Penrose lieutenant had little diffi culty tn making final arrangements at this meeting, as tho majority of details had been decided upon at various prior conferences between Penrose representa tives and the liquor leaders. This meet ing waa simply to go over final matters and make sura that all concerned were satisfied. Conspicuous at the round table was James P. Mulvlhlll, general manager of the largest brewing Interests In the State and then an ardent supporter of City So licitor Michael J. Ryan He was the financier of the Democratic liquor cam paign In western Pennsylvania. Mulvl hlll has always been known as a Demo crat Seated near him was Nell Bonner, president of the Pennslaula Federation of Liquor Dealers, who Is charged by Representatives Palmer and Rupley with being the man who assessed the SOOO members of his association to the extent of $100,000 during the campaign. He has always been known as a Democrat. Then tame Charles F Ettla. field agent of the Pennsylvania Brewers' Association; P. II. Keefe, president of the Allegheny County Liquor Dealers' Protectee Association, and a man named Bojd, organizer of the fodi ration It Is said that Harry S Baker, secretary o the Republican Slate Committee and a recogntied Penrose leader also was present In addition. several other officials and politicians were present While It Is understood the presence of MuUIhill tn the city at th-u time was desired to pass upon the Democratic can didates. It has been said by a man who attended this particular conference that he displayed deep Interest in the Republican scnedule for State Senators, members of the House and Congressmen. At any rate, the Republican rum ticket met Atth the approval of the men present. Whether the men who attended thl$ meeting, tr several others which lock place In the same office and In the office of Senator Penrose in the Areade Build ing immediately before the primary, were responsible for the lists of the RepufelJ. can and Democratic liquor candidates being sent through the State cannot def.
