TARfe ANSWERS SENATOR
Cengresman'a Counter - Attack
Says Votes of People IJave -
" - "Repudiated" Him
,, Governor Brumbaugh today formally an
nounced his candidacy for the chairman
hip of the Pennsylvania delfratlon to the
Republican National Convention, opposing
Senator Penrose for the key position.
A fight to the finish Is expected. Although
Senator Penrose has not yet announced his
candidacy, a boom for him hna been
launched In his camp, where 60 out of the
76 members of the delegation are claimed.
The Brumbaugh lieutenants flatly deny
this claim, asserting that 44 of the delegates
are Brumbaugh men. The dispute will be
iettled by the election of the chairman.
SEEKS SUPPORT.
The Governor's candidacy for the position
Has announced In telegrams sent today to
nn, f1tfilA nnrt nlfArnntA ptprtprl. njltc
Pi. Ing their Bupport and requesting a reply
by wire. The telegrams reads
Having received a substantial prefer
entlal vote and n large vote as dele
gate, I respectfully ask your vote ns
chairman of the Pennsylvania delega
tion. "Wilt you support me? Please an
swer by wire.
MARTIN' O. BRUMBAUGH.
The chairman of the delegation will bo
elected at a caucus of Pennsylvania's rep
resentatlves, which wilt probably bo held in
Chicago prior to the opening of the con
vention. An earlier meeting, to be held next week,
is being arranged by Penrose delegate to
test out the strength of the two factions
In the delegation. The meeting will be held
simultaneously with a meeting of the State
Republican Committee, which will at that
lime elect a national committeeman. Sen
ior Penroso Is virtually a candidate for
his position, to succeed Henry G. "Wasson,
t Pittsburgh.
MAT AVOID MEETING.
Although they will be Invited to attend
the meeting of delgates. which Is ostensibly
to make the members acquainted with ench
other, the Brumbaugh followers In the
delegation are not expected to attend.
While nothing definite has been sottled. It
Is thought that they are inclined to avoid
the meeting.
' The Governor's announcement was in the
nature of a drive against the Penroso
forces and followed close upon Congressman
William S. Vare's counter-attack on Sen
ator jpenrose. In which the Congressman
predicted that Senator Penrose would play
"second fiddle" at tho convention.
The Congressman replied from Wash
ington to a threat of Senator Penrose to
make public "startling" election facts In
South Philadelphia, the Vara stronghold,
as a sequel to rumors that James Scarlet
had been engaged as counsel for the Van--Smlth-Brdmbaugh
forces to Investigate al
leged violations of the election laws in the
16th Congressional District
"Blackmail" and a "cheap political trick"
failed to destroy the Governor's popularity
In the State, declared Congressman Vare,
who disputed the Penrose claim of 7 out
of the 12 members of the Philadelphia
delegation to the convention and a major
ity in the Pennsylvania delegation. Brum
baugh Would control the Pennsylvania dele
gation with 44 out of 76 delegates, nnd
the official count would show nine Brum
baugh men and three Penrose men In the
Philadelphia district body, ho said.
The repudiation of Senator Penrose In
the last election, evidenced by the carrying
of both loans by a majority of moro than
100,000, Is a sufficient answer to. Penrose's
vaporlngs," said Congressman- Vare, when
told that Senator Penrose had declared he
had collected evidence to prove that "high
handed" methods had prevailed during the
Voting In Congressman Vare's district, the
iBt district.
loiter he Issued a formal statement that
rivaled the Senator's In bitterness and Indi
cated that the factional fight in the city
Would be reflected In the national delegation.
VARE'S STATEMENT.
In part, Congressman Vare said:
Those who seek to dominate the Chi
cago convention for selfish Interests
are already giving their views as to the
way the platform should be written.
They have even gone so far asto state
definitely that certain planks will be
Inserted, presuming that they will again
be permitted to work their will upon
the convention, even though this
should again bring about a division In
the ranks.
As a result of the recent primaries In
Pennsylvania, I believe that there will
be a different kind of leadership at Chi
cago this year than was noted in 1912.
Governor Brumbaugh was given a
great vote of confidence by the people
of Pennsylvania at the recent pri
maries, leading Penrose by 10,000. He
also led Senator Oliver by 20,000, and
If It had not been for a cheap political
trick played by the lieutenants of Pen
rose In Pittsburgh, 65,000 more votes
would have been added to the Brum
baugh lead. The Penrose men put a
former policeman by the name of Bum
baugh on the Hat to confuse tho voters,
and 66,000 votes which were meant for
the Governor were cast for this un
known man because of the similarity
In names.
This cheap trick, together with a
blackmailing plot used in an attempt'
to force the Governor out of the presi
dential race, failed utterly In Its pur
posev" The people gave a great vote of
0 confidence to the Governor, and he
will be oris of the central figures and
dominating factors In the Republican
convention.
There Is every probability that the
official returns will show that nine of
the 13 district delegates elected In
Philadelphia will be distinctly opposed
to such leadership aa split the party
In 1912. Certainly It Is not probable
that a man repudiated by the. voters of
his own city will be permitted to dic
tate again to the National Convention
Keeking- to serve the people In a great
national crisis.
That the vrbal battle has .not ended
was indicated by Senator Penrose, who
promised exposure by the, end of the week
or practices that "Will not be tolerated by
decenl JlepMbJlcans."
"CHILDISH." SAYS PENROSE.
When the attention of Senator Penrose
was called to the statement made by Con
gressman Vare. of Philadelphia, he said,
""That is almost too childish to notice."
He declined to comment on that part of
the Vare attapk. which read,: "Certainly It
13 not probable that a man repudiated by
the voters of his own city will be permitted
to dictate to a national convention."
Wth re faience to the charge that some
et Penrose's lieutenants In Pittsburgh put
up a former policeman named Butnbaugh
for deltgata,-at-large In order to cut down
tho vote of Governor Brumbaugh, Senator
Penrose said- "I did not know of the plan
to put Bqmbaugh's name on the ticket r
had nothing to do jvith tha suggestion of
Bttwbauga -heluff a candidate tor national
ungate, and I have no knowledge that bU
MadJdacy was promoted oy any of my
$rtHd3 In Pittsburgh. I presume he had a
j-Jtffet to b a. candtdatet if he wauted to. It
4a generally understood that the vote last
fur Witt was contributed by the so-called
w w. It certainly was not a vote lbs
tktvSraar osul4 bav got under any ctreum
mwwr fJM ttweat u to? childish to
Mit tornw mMtuf."

Commission on Licensure nnd Ordination,
h 16 other New Tork Commissioners.
McKlbben and Stevenson were Among the
complainants.
Doctor Stevenson had no sooner finished
reading the report than a man away In the
rear moved Ha nrtnntlnn If mi rvnr1i1
There was no discussion, and before one
could say Jack Robinson Moderator Mar
quis was putting the question. It was all
done so quickly 900 odd yeas without any
imyo mat. me Assembly had ndopted the
report before, it fully realized It Itself.
"BLESSED BE THE TIB."
Then without signal, Just ns if every man
knew It Wns the only thing to do, the
great collection of Presbyterian commis
sioners broke out Into "Blessed he the tie
that binds."
The Stoel Pier fairly vlbrntcd with their
fervor. They sang like men transfigured,
awny from the homely business of church
politics. The light nnd happiness in their
faces wns a sight long to be remembered.
As tho song ended, there came a prayer
by the Rev. Ezra B. Newoomb, of Keokuk,
la., n prayer Just ns Involuntary ns was tho
song before It.
He praised God for granting "n solution
of tho trouble that had been tearing their
assembly asunder" nnd he prnyed that
added strength be granted all of them so
that they might go on alt right, "And
then, Just ns miraculously as It wns In
voluntary, came "Alt halt the power of
Jesus' Name,"
And then very solemnly, before Moderator
Mnrquls drove the General Assembly on to
other business which had to do with tho
Judicial commission, ho adjured the com
missioners to mind well what they had to
do "because they were now in the Court
of Christ ami all of one mind."
Tho heresy problem wns almost tho first
thing the Gcncrn Assembly took up. Doc
tor Stevenson v;as on the platform for the
Commlttea on Bills nnd Overtures ftvo min
utes after the devotional exercises. He dis
posed of some minor business nnd then set
tled himself for the big tnsk. Everybody
know what wns coming. It wns In tho nlr.
He began:
"Your committee this year hns had as
signed to It some very difficult nnd mo
mentous problems. We would gladly hnvo
shifted the responsibilities, but we felt that
wo had been chosen for the tasks and could
not fall to carry them out, even If we
wished. Wo felt we had to Interpret, not
our own convictions, but tho mind of the
whole Church
"The difficulties obvious right away be
came more apparent as wo went Into study.
At first a solution seemed wholly Impos
sible. But wo worked and worked, and
then we saw a way out. And the report
which we present to you today Is nn unani
mous, earnest report, which you should
do with ns you think bent. It Is not for
us to say; It Is for you to do. Wo merely
recommend what we havo set down In this
report."
Doctor Stevenson then read tho report.
It follows:
THE REPORT.
"In answer to overtures No. 23, No. 24,
No. 25. Nos. 16G to No. 157, nnd paper 163
complaining of the action of New York
Presbytery 'in receiving nnd licensing can
didates for the ministry whose theological
beliefs do not accord with tho doctrinal
stnndnrds of our church,' and to overturn
No. 26, calling for n deliverance, 'declaring
that It is not only discourteous nnd unwar
ranted, but also unchristian and subversive
of proper discipline for ono Presbytery to
assent that the ministers of another Pres
bytery or Presbyteries nro untrue to their
ordinations vows,' your committee begs to
present the following report:
"Commissioners from. New York Presby
tery and representatives of overturlng pres
byteries appeared before the committee and
made full and frank statements as to the
Issues involved. Complaint was made
against the members of the New York
Presbytery for licensing recently and on
previous occasions candidates who could
not affirm their belief in tho essential doc
trines of the Word of God nnd our stand
ards, that our Lord Jesus Christ was born
of the Virgin alary. The members of New
York Presbytery felt deeply pained and
aggrieved that the overturlng presbyteries
should propose drastic action, not on the
basis of the presbytery's records, but on
the basis of exaggerated nnd misleading
newspaper reports. The brethren On both
sides of the controversy, together with the
members of your committee, jxprcsscd their
strpng conlctl6n that this continued agita
tion was bringing reproach upon the Church
was hindering the cause of cnrist una
tlint something must be done effeqtuajly to
put a stop to It.
"It was proposed thnt these brethren
themselves should confer ns to the' best
remedy for tho Whole trouble. Having done
so In a most earnest, hrnverful and forbear
ing spirit, they presented n paper which
to their minds embodies all thnt the
exigencies of the situation demand, nnd
which gave them great hope for the future
peace nnd harmony of tho Church. Your
committee gnve this paper due considera
tion and were grateful to God for the
manifest leading of the Holy Spirit which
ha brought the aggrieved parties together
and which we felt led in, your committee, to
the Unanimous approval of said paper ns
the basis of suitable notion on tho part of
th: Assembly. '
"We, therefore, recommend tho adoption
of this paper In the earnest hope that It will
allay nil mlsumlerstnndlhg, prevent In the
future any hasty or llt-advlsed Judgment In
public print of brethren In good nnd regular
standing In tho ministry, nnd serve ns
warning to nil presbyteries against receiv
ing nnd licensing nny candidates for tho
ministry who cannot give their nssent to
nil tho fundamental doctrines of the
Church.
We recommend the ndoptlon of the fol
lowing paper:
" 'Whereas, tho records of the Presbytery
of New York show thnt on April 10, 1D16,
thnt Presbytery licensed threo candidates
for the ministry who neither affirmed nor
denied the doctrlno of the Virgin Birth, on
tho following recommendation, "Noting thnt
these candidates recognize critical difficul
ties In connection with the doctrlno of the
Virgin Birth, liu! nt the snme time state
that their faith in this doctrine Is of a
growing character nnd that they unquali
fiedly declnro their faith In the pre-exist-once
nnd dlety of our Lord, nnd -nil thr re
dempthe truth that Is embodied In Ills life,
teaching nhd Ills sacrlflonl death."
" 'Whereon. It Is admitted that by the con
stitution of the church each I'reshjtcry Is
the Judgo of qualifications of candidates for
the ministry, but such Presbytery In
licensing these candidates should strictly
observe the declarations of tho confession
of faith In doctrinal matters.
" Tha General Assembly cnlls the atten
tion of the Presbyteries to the dellveinnco
of tho General Assembly of 1910, which Is
ns follows
First It Is nn essential doctrlno of
the word of God and our standards
that tho Holy Spirit did so Inspire,
guide and move the writers of Holy
Scripture as to keep them from error.
Second It Is an essential doctrlno of
the word of God and of our standards
. that our Lord Jesus Christ wns born of
the Virgin Mary.
Third It Is np essential doctrlno of
the word of God nnd our stnndnrds
that Christ offered up "Himself n sne
ilflco to satisfy divine Justlco and to
reconcile us to God."
Fourth It Is an essential doctrine of
the word of God nnd of our standards
concerning our Lord Jesus Christ that
on the third day He arose from tho
dead with the same body with which Ho
suffered, with which also Ho ascended
Into heaven and there sltteth nt tho
right hand of His Father, making
intercession.
Fifth It is nn essential doctrine of
the word of God ns tho supreme stand
ard of our faith that our Lord Jesus
showed His power and love by working
mighty miracles. This vorklng was
not contrary to nature, but superior to
it.
" 'Presbyteries are hereby enjoined not lo
license or ordain any candidate for tho
ministry whose views are not in nccord
nnce with this deliverance of 1910. ,
" This General Assembly renews' Its posi
tive mandate with full expectation of loyal
compliance by all our Presbyteries; and
directs that when a candidate appears who
Is found to be not clear and positive on
any qne of the fundamentals of our faith
his licensure be deferred until such tlmo
as In the Judgment of tho Presbytery he has
becomo so.' " '

LEADERS INDICATE SATISFACTION
WITH HERESY CHARGE DISPOSITION
New York Lay Commissioner Says Presbytery Is Not
Found Guilty, but Is Warned, "While Critics Are Told
Not to Jump to Conclusions
Bu o Staff Coireipoitdeitt
ATLANTIC. CITY, N. J.. May 21. Com
ment on the action of the General Assembly
on the overtures against the New York
Presbytery are not as unanimous In tone
as the commissioners' action was.
Men who have always favored that Pres
bytery construe It as an absolute decision
In Its favor; those who made the overtures
are certain that New York has been .disci
plined and they are satisfied, or seem to be.
Judge J. DeWltt Andrews, of the New
York Presbytery, said:
"The report means In effect that the Gen
eral Assembly does not find the Presbytery
of New York guilty of such action ns was
charged, and It rather warns thoso who
made the overtures not to rest upon rumors
but to ascertain the facts before making
Buch serious charges.
"But it also enjoins the New York Pres
bytery and all presbyteries to be certain
and leave no uncertainty on the funda
mental doctrlnee of the Church so that there
can be no reason for any presbytery to per
mit any deviation from the doctrines of
the Church."
The Rev. Dr. Frank H. Stevenson, pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church of the Cove
nant, Cincinnati, and author of the most
draBtlc overture of all, said:
The faith of the Presbyterian Church
will not be disturbed. The Now York Pres
bytery has admitted Its guilt In agreeing
that It 'made a" serious mistake, nnd It
promises not to do it again."
The Rev. John Fox, of New York, whose
pamphlets against the New York Presby
tery gained great circulation, had nothing
to say except:
"I fired my guns test week before tho
report was completed. Now my guns are
stilled."
Spirited debates nre promised for tomor

Tho letter rc'Sd. In part:
I never expected any money from
father, and I am making onough now '
to get nlong on nicely. My income will
be nbout 17000 n year, and deducting
ior expenses or Keeping upmy practice
I will have $5000 ,and that will bo
enough. I appreciate moro than I can
tell you the goodness of yourself nnd
father to me. but I know thnt ho has
expenses, and that everything does not
always turn out all right. I wish you
would tell him In the best way you
can that I do not wish for any of his
money. If I Ijad the right I would say
to Clarn now, "I will not have any gift
from your parents " Of course, I can
not say to Clara that she shall not have
nny of your motley, but I will not have
her use any for the expenses of running
tho household,
