EXPOSES IDEAS OF
POLITICAL ENEMIES
Senator Penrose at noon today issued
; lronj nppeal to tho voters to defeat
'"the Varo combine nt the primaries.
r At tho same time he charged that the
" withdrawal of State Senator Augustus
l' F. Datx, Jr., ns candidnto for City
Trtuurcr on the Administration ticket.
' xrs a Combine move nnd "n crime
' against the State."
He said that tho old force of ma
rhlne politicians, defeated by Mnyor
Moore, again was seeking power, but
that their tactics showed that they
were working in "n consplrncy to de
fraud the Republican voters and to
ronctltute n gross offense ngnlnst the
intelligent manhood of the party."
Text of III Statement
Senator Penrose called upon his po
litical associates to rally around the
nntl-coinblne forces, nnd to insure a
clean city Administration. The state
ment was made nt his home at 1331
Spruce street, shortly after he returned
from registering.
Senator Penrose was asked to specify
candidates he faorcd in tho primary
' "I nm ropieparcd to specify as to
i candidates." , , ,
Then the Senator put on his glasses
and took a sheet o paper from his
- uocket containing typewritten notes.
. "I will," he said, "dlctttte to you u
-utatement based upon these noted which
1 prepared this morning."
PenrosA Dictates Statement
This statement follows:
"I camo to Philadelphia primarily, to
register to qualify na n voter nnd to
attendto a few personal matters. It
In well known that I have been almost
entirely confined by my duties in the
Swate Finance Committee and v ltli the
Itevenuo Revision mid Tariff Hills.
"In fact. Congress has taken a re
, em ao that the 'Finnnce Committee
may work on these measures, without
Interruption, which aro so essential to
the return of prosperity. Any one in
nny way convcrsnnt with the magnitude
of the task will realize the truth of the
Utemcnt that I have had little oppor
tunity to become familiar with the
affairs at home and of a local character,
however important they may be.
"I have had no desire to participate
la the naming of nny local ticket and
have had no favorites to advocate. "I
had hoped that the lesson of the last
mayoralty election would haxo been
taken to heart .by the selfish Interests
xihlth for n long time dominated the
municipal affairs of Philadelphia, to Us
disgrace and their profit.
Takes Craclt at I)ni
"Hence I have observed n ietii'enca
concerning the sttuntion in order to
avoid even tho appearance of interfer
ence Recent events, however, have
demonstrated that this hope is not to
ho realized nnd thnt the same forces,
repudiated ' two years ngo, are ngaln
combined In an endeavor to control the
Republican primary elect Ion for tho
purpose of dominating n ticket of their
(hooting.
"The recklessness of the methods
was shown last week, when a person
who registered ns n candidate for City
treasurer and was being considered ly
a body of Rc-publlcnn .itizens,, v. ho ver"
seeking to promote the nomination of an
ronnt, efficient and Independent ticket,
withdrew himself from the registration
t tho last minute nnd left the citl
wna who were organized fur government
without nn opportunity to place n can
didate of their choice upon tho prliu.iry
bal'ot."
The Senator here referred to Senator
Dalx,
"Humors abound," Pcnrse contin
ued, "that other efforts are mado bv
the same sniping methods to kill off
candidates who might appeal to the
People. This performance amounts to
confession of fear to fight out tho Issue
t the ballot-box. The withdrawal was
lone without any notice and was bo
rrnnged that any body of good citizens
ere powerless to vote their choice of
candidate on election day.
'These ancient machine methods
wulcli were thought long since aban
doned and out of dnte, and nre un
worthy nowdays of tho smallest kind of
Precinct politics, in this Instance

It was his wife's supreme wish, she
said today, "that he die in the Christian
faith." I
lie will be baptized at 7 o'clock this
evening by the Rev. Dr. Charles Elder
the prison chaplain. Dr. Klder wns
asked today what denomination Schuck
bnd elected to joint as his last act on

"No particular denomination," the

baptized a Protestant."
The chaplain was nsked if the two

their lives' span stretches but n few
hours.
"Stoics don't exist in the death

that in n short time they must meet
