SENATOR The organs of the Democratic and Washington Parties are waiting breathlessly for the nomination of Penrose, when they will sweep in and shatter the Republican strength in Pennsylvania. Remember public sentiment is against Boss Rule. Penrose must be defeated to preserve the Republican Party. In J. Benjamin DimmicU we have a leader bold enough to accept the challenge of Pen roseism—a man of high character, of sound scholarship, of clear vision and a complete under standing of State and national issues. By nominating J. Benjamin Dimmick, we can remove the only issue which the Washing ton and Democratic Parties have and thus we can insure a normal Republican vote and victory. Every day the army of men is increasing, who believe that the Republican Party on May 19th must choose between PENROSE and DEFEAT or DIMMICK and VICTORY Kentucky Derby Race Today; Fast Three Year Olds Eitered By 'Associated Press Louisville, Ky„ May 9.—At least ten and possibly twelve of the crack three year-olds of the country are expected to go to the post at Churchill Downs track here this afternoon In the for tieth annual-Kentucky Derby, to con test for the richest stake In the his tory of this classic of the American turf.
