BROWN'S REJOINDER Another worm development In tho State wide contest was a rejoinder from Attor ney General Brown to the nttacks mado upon him by Senator Sproul, manager of tho Baldwin campaign. In n statement Is sued last night at Harrlsburg the Attorney Gotieral charged, that Senator Sprout's hands wcro tied andj, his Voice silenced In the State Senate when It came to voting for taxation and revenue measures, because the Sonator was financially Interested. Reply ing to the Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Association, Mr. Brown uald that the asso ciation was not the author of the work men's compensation and child labor acts, but that It worked hard to have compensa tion bills passed which could ba declared unconstitutional, LKADHRS MKHT TODAY Today, In this city, aonsatlonal features are expected to mark the caucus of tha Philadelphia delegation. A call to this caucus was sent to each Senator and Rep resentative yesterday afternoon by special delivery. It will be held at the headquarters of the Republican City Committee, Eleventh and Chestnut streets, this afternoon at ? o'clock, and for the purpose, said thi call, ''of considering legislation of vital Im portance to our city, and to express a pref erence for ' Speaker of the next House of Representatives." Mayor Smith may attend and tell what he thinks the city should get from the Legislature. Senator McN'Icliol will also bo on hand, ready, he announced, to stand up boldly for the rights of "the people, the State, his friends and himself." R was freely predicted that the Senator, an advocate of the election of Baldwin to the speakership, would supply some excitement, even though the delegation to the House Is believed to stand twenty-four for Cox and seventeen for Baldwin. The call to the caucus was signed by six of the eight Senators and by twelve of the forty-one Representatives from Phila delphia. The six Senators, all Vare lead ers, were Senators Vare, Salus, Patton. Mar tin (Senator-elect), Jenkins and Smith. The twelve Representatives were Hecht and Reynolds, frtm Mayor Smith's district J Cummins, from Oermantown; Dunn, Frank ford; Connor, Tivonty, ninth Ward; Woben umlth, ,Twe,nty-frBt .Ward; Curry, Seven teenth und Eighteenth Wards; Thomas F. MoNlchol, Thirtieth Ward; Walker, West Philadelphia ; Aron. Twentieth Ward j Fuck ler, Thirty-third Ward; Arthur, Nineteenth Ward., p&SROsiya statement Senator Penrose's announcement of the leglxJatlVA ."Lexeme" was contained in tha following statement: My atjteution. has been called to the statement of Attorney General Brown, Which Irdlcatea a condition of panic l which Is not In harmony with the cheofulness that ought to prevail diir'ng the holiday season. I do not care to get lntfr'n dliwuaslon with him, be cause t do not recognize, hlra as a Republican. He has all his life been a Deiirujofat, and only recently attended Democratic conventions. He Is the vahl attorney of the principal street-clean- ,, Ing contractor in Philadelphia aud of other Interests, and is working in har mony wllh, them as Attorney General wider the present administration. Mr. Brown has si way been paid handsomely In a professional way for his service by contractors and corpora tions. He has received many- thou sanda of dollars from tha State of lflpj iMti of special employments. In ft way that has threatened scandal and has been frequently resented by those who pro tested against his exlravagapt demand. These fees are not easily ascertained from an examination of the reports tit Iho Auditor General, because Ihey are corered up under the designation of attorney fees, but at an early oppor tunity, doubtleus, the voucher will be required nnd will show that several hundred thousands of dollars have been paid to Mr. Brown nnd his associates, often for nominal Work. In tlin ense of tho Revenue Commission, to which reference has biren made, his charge tor professional services was soma 150,000, moro or less, which the com mission grudgingly was Induced to pay him. Mr. Brown has never participated In the councils of tho Republican party except as an attorney for some one, nnd his appearance before a Republican audience In a campaign would bo greeted with derision. Under the trulee.Of hypocrisy and tho brood vision, the effort thai has been made to give the psesent Administra tion the sole credit for the legislation passed at the lost session of the Legis lature relating to c?ndlttons of labor, compensation and other humanitarian measures, and ths effort to represent any element of the Republican party ns being IrrefOnclllably opposed to these measures Is without any founda tion. When the present Governor was elected every' one In the Republican party wanted to give him the fullest opportunity to make good his pledges and bring about the enactment of legis lation for the betterment of the people of the Commonwealth. Many Senators and Representatives In the Legislature, regardless of their Individual judgment and opinion, loyally went along with the Governor on his whole program. It was only after tha Intolerable sit uation developed that the Governor had surrendered to a faction of the Repub lican, party headed by n Philadelphia contractor and had ceased to be the Governor of a whole people, treating everybody fairly, that tho present' fac tional difficulty arose. The present contest It a protest against these Intolerable conditions, which are detrimental to the party and humiliating to the Stnto, and that re sentment will be shown effectively and unmistakably In the election of Mr. Baldwin as Spenker on January 2 next SENATOR VARUS ANSWER In answer to Senator Tenrose, Senator Vare said: The difference between Governor Brumbaugh's administration and the Penrose people occurred when Senator Penrose callod at the Governor's offlco In tho Bollevue Court Building In Phila delphia two years ago and agreed with the Governor that his friends would support Ambler for Speaker. Penrose, following this conference with the Gov ernor, went direct to his own office nnd vent ChnrloB Johnson, tho then Mont gomery County lender, out to bring Amblor In, and he, Penrose, then nnd there. In tho presence qf Johnson, pledged his support to Amblor. A few days later, however, Penrose, with his usual underhand methods, was canvassing ' for votes for Baldwin against' Ambler and when the Governor discovered this he took up the Ambler campaign and forced his election, Then, as now, Penrose's only support In Philadelphia camo from Contractor James P. MoNlchol. Iji so far us tho humanitarian legisla tion l.i concerned, namely, the child labor law, workmen's compensation nnd other measures designed for the benefit pf our working boys and girls, as well ns adults, I repent Mr. Grundy and a few other manufacturers, backed by Penrose, not only opposed It to the limit nt tho last session of tho Legislature, but at every session In my time, and I first went there In 1890. "LET HIM INVESTIGATE" If Mr. Penrose wnnts an Investiga tion, let him Investigate what was com mon rumor around the State Senate two years ago that the Penrose or ganization hud received largo sums of money from Grundy and his associates, with the distinct understanding that there would he no legislation in favor S, of tho working classes. Including wom en and children. Many of the Penrose Senators gave ma that reason for their Inability to support tho child labor bill when I was canvassing for their votes. It Is a lato day for Mr. Penrose to complain about Attorney General Brown when It Is well knoWn that he was tho close ndvlser of Penrose, Durham and McNIchol for twenty-fire yours, nnd Mr. Brown withdrew of his own voli tion because of the underhand methods of Penrose. This contest Is between Cox, and his splendid record on the one ilde, nnd Baldwin, and his bad record on the other, and I haven't the slightest doubt about the result.
