When I was a candidnte for the
governorship of Pennsylvania and
again when I was inaugurated. I ex
pressed, as clearly as I knew hew.
the feeling of profound respect thnt I
had for this great office. Fpen re
pented occasions since I have stated'
thnt having been elected by the peo
ple of the Commonwealth te the
highest place within their gift I
would- net desert it nor use It te
further my own ambitions. I still
held te the same opinions, except
that they have been strengthened ns
my term has gene en.
The governorship is. In n very
definite sense, a trusteeship from the
people. One of the most important
duties of that trusteeship is the ap
pointment of Fnlted States Senators
nnd etner officers When vacancies
occur. A fundamental principle of
the laws and understandings govern
ing trusteeships is thnt the holders
thereof shall net use them for per
sonal advantage. Te my mind, It
would certainly be nn evasion of that
principle te resign such a trusteeship
as I held In order that my lawful
successor might, in the exercise of his
powers, appoint me te another great
public office.
Admits Crisis in Party
I rccvnize the fnct that there is
mere or ls of a crisis In the nf
falM of our party organization in
Pennsylvania, and I am compli
mented by the suggestions that have
am equipped te accept the responsi
bility of leadership at such a time.
It certainly would net lessen this
crisis If 1 should de anything that
might be questionable in such an
issue. If I should ever desire te go
te the United States Senate, 1 shall
submit my candidacy te the peeple
of the State in the regular way,
through the processes of nomination
and election.
Meanwhile, I shall remain in the
position in which they have placed
mc and wheie they linve given me
their confidence nnd support.
In due time I shall nnme a suc
cessor te Senater Penrose, who will
I hope, commend himself te the State
nnd the country In the present emer
gency. I bheuld have made this state
ment earlier hid I net desired te
come from se many sources, thnt I
avoid an? discussion of the subject
until after Senater Penrose's funeral.

tr. the linnse. thnt te carry out the oft-
expressed wNh of tlie Senater, the

"Sennter Penrose had nn aversion te
attending funerals. He was present ut
the funerals of Senater Knox nnd Con
gressman Henry II. Itiughiim, but it
was against his desire. Ills eellcngucs
in tin Senate well knew of his atersieu
te funerals, and a search of the records
v 111 show that he never was appointed
en n committee te attend the funeral
of a fellow Senater."
Mr. Tayler was asked if he knew
nnything about the will or estate of the
Senater.
"I don't knew anything new," said
Mr. Tayler, "nor de I ever expect te."
