appear so to the writer. Penrose stood foP
nothing excopt the tariff, nnd vet he Is
m norlty Senator by 20,000 votee, Congressman
Michael Donohue was literally "snowed un

No. Mr. Editor, it was not the tariff. Whim

t on his platform, Bpoke for It and labored for
It and went down to defeat for It, for 200,000
Domocrnts voted for Penroeo nnd rum. If there
