Party in Fight on
Brumbaugh
TO PROFIT EITHER WAY
A movement for tho impcaihiupnt of Gov
ernor Brumbaugh Is rapidly taking form
among Democrats and l'enruse llepubllcans
It developed this afternoon that the Dem
mrats voro in hearty smiathy with tho
Idea, fm, no matter what tho result, it is
bound to redound to tho benetlt of the Dem
aviatli! pally. They Ilguro that If they push
the Impcnc-hmeut proposal and fall to cany
It the) can nt least make a campaign issuo
of tho attempt to clean up politics If it
carries they ure runfiilent tho resultant e
posurcs will be so nauseous that the people
of tho State will turn to tho Democrats In
sheer disgust, seeking relief.
Senator Penrose's chief Statu lieutenants

proceedings surely will dovulop 1tie nay
further that thoy will have them launched
under Democratic auspices

Tho Governor's friends In JIarrlsburg to

branches of tho Legislature, and reported
that there was nothing to worry about
Tho rtports of tbo contemplated proceed
ings, turnover, persist In spite of the pro
nouncement by tho nruinuaugh faction ilut
they nro ridiculous
These proceedings will bo tha outgrowth
of charges which were hurled by Brum
baugh and I'enrose leaders In tlio Cos-Baldwin
speakership fight
Announcements also were inado at both
Vara and McMchol headquarters that talk
of harmony was "mere rot"
Senator Fenioso is cald to bo "full of

tinuing the battle against Brumbaugh and
his oinclal family Its Is threatening
