SENATOR PENROSE
IS A CANDIDATE
[Continued iVom First Page]
Senate and assails the adminlstra-'
tion's Mexican policy severely.
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. T partici
pated actively In the framing of the
Dingley law in 1597, and In 1909 it

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

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

have maintained in the Republic of

him until the advent of the Wilson,
