This was the encouraging message that Senator Penrose brought to mem bers of the Harrisburg Republican Club, whose guest he was at the twelfth anniversary dinner of the or ganization in Chestnut Street Hall last o\ ening. Senator Penrose thus summed ui> his conclusions after three months of vigorous campaigning for renomi luition over the State. He was in the height of good spirits and evidently very comfortable over the outcome, not only of to-day's primaries, but con cerning the ultimate results in No vember. Senator Penrose had to hurry away on an early train in order to be able to speak at a Patriotic Order Sons of Anierica convention in Philadelphia early to-day in response to an address of welcome by Mayor Blankenburg and he spoke at the beginning of the dinner. The senator drew the attention of bis audience to the fact that for years as a member of the Legislature he had spent much time in Harrisburg. so that he has come to feel more at home here than in any other city of the State outside of his home place, Phila delphia, and he reminded bis hearers that he bad used his influence in be half of Harrisburg when efforts were ifcijie made' to take the. Capitol to Twudelphia. "in all parts of Pennsylvania 1 have been able to study conditions, and 1 am impressed with the steady decline ot business and the steady advance ment of Republican sentiment. On tiiis last day of the campaign preced ing the primaries 1 am sure you will be glad to know that you are about to enter upon the reward for which you have so earnestly striven. Republican victory by a tremendous majority is i assured in the Fall." Senator Penrose predicted that the ! Democratic majority in Congress, it | not obliterated altogether, will be cut i down to three or four in November, nnd thus rendered incapable of fur ther harmful legislation. "The Democratic party is useful as fi minority balance." said Senator Pen rose. "It is a splendid critic, but an utter failure as a constructionist. The people wanted a change, and they got R. lint they have now concluded that u very little change goes a long way." Senator Rcid lonian Toastmaster Senator Beidleman, toastmaster of I the. evening, was introduced by Presi dent L. R. Metzger. Senator Beidle man complimented the club on its Services to the party and reviewed briefly its history of twelve years.

He ar rived here yesterday. "X left the capital,"' he said, "for two reasons. The first was a knowl edge of a plot among General Huerta's close political supporters to assassin ate me, they saying I know too much. Second, there has been planned a re volt of the people and the army. "I would not be surprised to receive now at any minute news of an upris ing against Huerta, whom the people and the army are tired of and of whom the people and the army are determined to rid themselves. I did not want to he in Mexico City when this occurred." Twice arrested and hustled through the streets by American soldiers and hissed and threatened by his country men, Urrutia was forced to face yes terday some of the indignities to which he subjected others while be was high in power at the capital. He expects to sail for Europe at the first opportunity. Vrrutia May Remain. In support of the sentiments of the crowd which stood before his hotel and shouted "Let us witness that Ameri can justice be done," General Funston has been asked to order Urrutla's de tention until such time as they havo at Mexico City a new government and a new judiciary before whom charges against the ex-minister can be liled for alleged crimes perpetrated, as is gen erally claimed, while lie was minister of the interior. There appears little likelihood that Urrutia will be held. At one time General Funston did tell him to leave as soon as possible but relenting he sent word to him he might remain in Vera Cruz temporarily. Urrutia professed that his only de sire was to remain here under protec tion of the Ainerii ans, that he had no object in going to Europe and that to remain at the capital was to face the anger of Huerta.

Governor John K. Tener was peti tioned yesterday afternoon by coun sel for the defense to grant the youth ful negro murderer a respite so that some new evidence may be unearthed which his attorneys contend may in duce the board of pardons to commute the death penalty to life imprison ment. The Governor, it is expected, will act on the request before the end of the week. Hall who is doomed to bo executed just a week from to-day is far from resigned to his fate and insists that lie doesn t want to die, and—doesn't think he ought to be hanged. The evidence whicli the attorneys, W. J. Carter and William Boyd, ex pect to produce for presentation to the pardon board can only be obtained in and around the South Carolina home of the negro. Traces of insanity have cropped up from time to time in the family of Hall, it is said, and allega tion of the defense is that the heredl tary taint develops to such an extent that the negro did not realize what he was doing when he shot and killed Henry Slater on the streets of Steelton a year ago. Attorney Carter said he did not care to talk on the subject to-day but in timated that he is not at all sanguine of the outcome of the effort to save Hall from the hangman. SUSTAIN KIIESTF.R.
