mxxill— No. 118
SENATOR PENROSE
SAYS, "LANDSLIDE
NEXT NOVEMBER"
Brings Most Optimistic Message to
Republican Club at Anni
versary Dinner
CELEBRATION BIG EVENT
Congressman Kreider, Senator Bei
dleman and Local Candidates
Make Addresses
"Six months ago the outlook for
Republican success In Pennsylva
nia was dreary: four months ag<>
It was doubtful: three months ago
it showed signs of Improvement:
to-day It is certain that a majority
of the voters favor a return to
Republican principles, and by No
vember it will be a landslide."
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. The j
more than 200 members made the '
numerous flags and draperies with J
which the hall was beautifully deco-|
rated flutter with the uproar they let 1
loose when Senator Penrose was pre
sented and he was given an ovation at I
the conclusion of his address.
Congressman Kreider Speaks
Congressman Kreider, who will be
renominated to-day without opposition,
made an excellent address, which was
well received, showing that he has
made a careful study of conditions at
Washington, in part be said:
"Mr. Chairman, we nave now had a
little over one year of Democratic rule
<in tiie 7th day of April, 101", Congress
was railed into extra session by the
President. It will lie recalled that dur
ing tiie campaign of 1912 the issues

. fly Associated Press
Vera Cruz, May 19. —Dr. Aureliano
Urrutia, ex-minister of the interior,
declared that he left the capital be
cause he feared assassination and in
the belief that a revolt would shortly
occur in the city of Mexico. 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. Before night, how
ever, ho had decided that he would

Never lias any primary election for

and if reports from Cumberland and
Perry are correct the conditions are
the same in the districts of those coun

or a dozen at some precinct voting
places. A regular army of "watchers"
is working about the polling places to
see that rival Democratic candidates
do hot put anything over on each
other.
The multiplicity of "watchers" was
the big thing about the election to-day.
It eclipsed for the time being even the

ONE LAST EFFORT TO
SAVE PACALL HALL
FROM THE GALLOWS
Counsel Petitions Governor to
Grant Respite For Con
demned Negro
One last effort has been made to
save Pascal Hall from the gallows next
Tuesday.
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.
