Senator Penrose makes the tariff the dominant issue of his canvass, and his candidacy is expected to attract national interest in view of the promi nent part he has taken in Washington in the framing of Republican tariff legislation. In the event of his re election and the return of the Repub lican party to control, Senator Pen rose's admirers expect him to resume the chairmanship of the committee on finance, which passes upon all pro posed tariff legislation before it is con sidered by the Senate. This chairman ship is now held by a southern Demo crat. Senator Penrose condemns the atti tude of the Wilson administration in its dealings with the Mexican situation and reiterates his demand that protec tion be given Americans living in or having business interests in the troubled republic. Expressing a desire for a free and untrammeled contest for all nomi nations to be made at the Republican primaries, Senator Penrose scores the slating of candidates by the Palmer Democrats and the Flinn Bull Moos ers. and incidentally fires a shot at I the Pittburgher, whom he refers to as "a notorious municipal contractor." Announcement of Candidacy Senator Penrose's statement follows: "Within recent years there has come into politics a tendency toward broader popular control, which It behooves ah parties and candidates to recognize. The representative system of govern ment has been materially abridged. Work previously done by the conven tion has been taken over, to a very large extent, by the individual voter. Whatever differences of opinion may have existed inthe past, it is evident that this change has come to stay, and should be cheerfully acquiesced in by every one as the final • decision of a majority of the people. "The popular primary should be ob. served in spirit and in letter. On May 19 the electors of the various parties in Pennsylvania will be called upon for the ilrst time to nominate a full State ticket, including candidates for Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of Internal Affairs and con gressmen-at-large. In regard to this State ticket, I have studiously avoided any expression which might be inter preted as an attempt to override the letter or the spirit of the State-wide primary act. 1 have in good faith and sincerity invited discussion, and have hoped that several candidates would announce for the nominations at the Republican primaries for the several offices to be filled in November. Open and free discussions of candidacies among the Republican electors of the State would tend to bring out a large Republican vote at the primary elec. tion in May, and would further tend to strengthen the party for the general election. "It would seem that the Democratic party and the so-called Washington party in Pennsylvania have not as yet awakened to the new dispensation, Leaders in the Democratic party have met tn Washington and by direction of the President have proclaimed a slate and issued their orders to the electors as though the popular primary were a mere formality unworthy of consid eration. | "Such presidential interference man> years ago caused the defeat of a Re publican candidate for Governor of the State of New York and would, up to a recent period, have been resented by the electors of any party. So far has this system of coercion been carried that it has been intimated that another candidate, who presumes to exercise his privilege of running for the office of Governor, might not be supported should be succeed In getting the nomi nation. "In the same way a few members of the so-called Washington party, under the leadership of a notorious municipal contractor, have met at Harrisb,urg, have proclaimed their slate, issued instructions as to who should be nomi nated for senator and governor and the other offices, and have declared that no other need apply. For l>ce and Open Contest "It remains for the Republican party to demonstrate its fidelity to the prin ciples of the State-wide primary law which have been so lightly cast aside, by the leaders of the other two parties. If the opportunity for discussion and decision presented to the people is to be real and bona fide, if the popular primary election act is to be anything more than the false pretense of selfish agitators who change but do not im prove conditions, we must see to it that no faction and no leader shall be permitted to dictate a single one of the nominations to be made next May. "However contemptuously the domi nant factions in the other two parties may defy the intent and purposes of the primary act, I sincerely hope that the Republican party will welcome the advent of any and all Republicans who possess the requirements prescribed by law and who desire to become candi dates for any of the offices to be filled. Will Run On Ills Record "At the urgent solicitation of many persons in all walks of life I have con sented to become a candidate to suc ceed myself as United States senator. I Invite full discussion as to my record during eighteen years of service in the Senate of the United States, and as part of that discussion I welcome the candidacy of any Republican who mav aspire to the nomination of the Re publican party for the office of United States senator at the approaching pri maries. "When I shall have completed my present term In the Senate I will have served continously In legislative office for a period of thirty years. As a member of the House of Representa tives and Senate of Pennsylvania, and the Senate of the United States, I have given the best year sof my life to the public service. During that time I am confident It will be found that my vote always has been upon the right side of every public question, and it will be admitted generally that my door has been open to my constituents as freely to the poor as to the rich, and to all men, regardless of distinctions. "It is reasonable to suppose that after such a very long period of public service any personal ambition for this kind of labor or distinction would be largely satisfied; In fact, were I to con sult my own personal interest and convenience. I could willingly devote my time to my personal affairs and to those studies and pursuits in which I always have been Interested rathei than to continue to carry longer the very heavy burdens which have been mine. But I feel, and I am also per suaded by a great many men active in the Republican party, and in the affairs of the State, that I am under obligations to my party and to the State and have a duty to perform. "If the Republican party should see fit to again confer upon me the nomi nation for the responsible and arduous office which I now hold. I shall make the fight to the best of my abilltv, and. In the event of my election, I shall en deavor to serve Pennsylvania with the same singleness of purpose, and the national government with the same, •devotion to the Ideals of the founders of our great party that have charac terized my course during the long report roforrert to. "I believe that the paramount na tional Issue in Pennsylvania is the maintenance of the protective policy of the Republican party.

On the Main Floor —BOWMAN'S. portunity In a peculiar degree of aid ing the industries of this State, in fact, when the Payne bill was passed I, think it was admitted generally that, there was not an industry in Penn sylvania which had not been alfoided full opportunity to be considered, and had not been adequately provided lor. As the greater part of the industries of the United States are represented in Pennsylvania, the magnitude of this task can be understood. "This protective system has been abandoned temporarily by the Ameri can government. The results of Dem ocratic legislation on the industries ol Pennsylvania are daily becoming more apparent to all men, and wc cannot expect a revival of industrial and busi ness activity so long as conditions re main as they are at Washington. "With the knowledge and experi ence gained by so many years of ac tive participation in tariff legislation, I feel I have a duty to perform in doing what I can to aid in bringing about a restoration of the protective system. "I might refer to other national issues at this time, but I shall reserve a fuller statement of my views con cerning them until later in the cam paign. However, as I have mentioned the tariff law, I ought not to omit calling attention to the needlessly ha rassing and complicated provisions in the law relatiing to the Income tax. "No one objects to the income tax in principle or theory, and it may be conceded that this tax in some form has come to stay as a permanent part of our fiscal system. But the methods of collection and the lack of scientific and intelligent admlnistratoin by the Treasury Department have caused anx iety, distress and annoyance not only among the people who are subject to the tax and entirely willing to pay it. but to that much larger number of persons who are exempted from the payment of the tax, but who had to prove such exemption and were dis tressed by the unnecessarily harsh methods of collection at the source. Without desiring in any way to cur tail the efficiency of collection, we should at the earliest opportunity en deavor to eliminate these unnecessar ily harsh provisions of the law. Scores Wilson's Mexican Policy | "I have been strongly opposed to. the so-called policy of 'watchful wait ing" on the part of the present ad-1 ministration in connection with the at- I fairs of Mexico. I cannot detect in this policy any element but ignorance of diplomacy and Incompetence in the administration of international affairs. In its supine course the administra tion has been callous to the appeals of American citizens and has exhibited even a lack of patriotism which has brought our diplomacy into contempt in the eyes of Mexico and of the world. I expressed my views on this matter many months ago, but have avoided pressing them in my official capacity, because I recognize the Jus tice of the contention that ail Ameri cans should stand behind their gov ernment in international dealings. But a time comes when remonstrance and action are inevitable, and certainly discussion 1p proper and pertinent as a campaign .pproaches when the ques tion will be whether the present ad ministration is worthy to be sustained in its policies. American Interests Ignored "American citizens —men and wo men—have been murdered and as saulted and millions of dollars of American property have been destroy ed. Americans have been notified by the State Department with brutal in difference that they should abandon the country where they had spent their lives, leaving unprotected their families and their property. I have I never advocated political intervention \ MARCH 9,1914. iii Mexico or territorial annexation, but 1 have thought, and my opinion is shared by many others conversant with the situation, that when Americans are interfered with in person or property, our government should send a. communication to the person or persons claim ing civil or military authority, notifying them that they will be held personally responsible for such depre dations to Americans or their prop erty. And this notice should be fol lowed up by sending American troops to the threatened point to enforce the same. Had such an expression been made early in the Mexican situa tion it would have been sufficient to have maintained in the Republic of Mexico that high respect for an Amer ican citizen which always attached to him until the advent of the Wilson, | administration. | "All over the State of Pennsylvania the people are quietly but intelligently thinking over theso and the other is Don't Let Your Truss Make Operation Necessary Operation for rupture would hardly ever be heard of if it weren't for the mischief done by elastic and spring trusses.
