HOME FOLKS APPROVE DOCTOR'S CANDIDACY [Continued From First Page] THE REV. GEO. B. BRUMBAUGH, Father of Dr. J.. G. Brumbaugh. Re publican Candidate for Governor every direction as he left the train and met the hundreds of people who had gathered at the station to give him their first neighborly greeting. Clasping their hands on the right and left the stalwart candidate pressed his way through the crowd toward the Leister Hotel, where his octoge narian father, the Rev. George Boyer Brumbaugh, of Marklesburg, the na tive village of the nominee, was wait ing to receive his son. But he couldn't wait until the Doctor had entered the hotel. He pushed forward as the crowd made way for him and In re sponse to the greeting, "Hello, Dad," he responded, "Hello, Boy." and they were locked In each other's embrace, tears streaming from the eyes of both father and son. It was much a spec tacle as was witnessed when President Garfield, after taking the oath at Washington, leaned down and kissed his aged mother before he started to deliver his inaugural address, and the crowd cheered and cheered and cheered. Then for two or three hours before the night meeting at the principal theater Dr. Brumbaugh's friends kept coming in solid masses to tell him how glad they were over his selection as the Republican standard bearer and to hear his appreciative comments upon their neighborly and sincere good wishes. He was right in the midst of them; there was no standing off at the side in a pretense of dignified aloofness. He wanted to meet his friends face to face and towering above most of them he was easily the most conspicuous figure In that laugh ing, sincere crowd. With his arm around many an old friend there was a constant exchange of reminiscence. They talked over ti eir boyhood days when he worked on the farm and later In the lumber camp and still later when he came to Juniata College to prepare himself for his life work. Many were the incidents recalled by those neighbors and friends of the Ju niata Valley. There were men of all parties and all are going to vote for Dr. Brumbaugh. They told him so. And when the Juniata Valley is heard from next November other candidates for the gubernatorial office will won der why they wasted any time in the most picturesque region of the State. He Is ">I. G.'" to Home Folks All history in the future, s0 far as Huntingdon is concerned, will date from the home-coming of the splendid leader who has been chosen to carry the standard of the Republican party in the State campaign. "M. G." was on every tongue and his progress through the streets in the brief pa rade that preceded the night meeting, during which he sat in an automobile besides his aged and happy father, was a continuous ovation. There were salvos of cheers and wav ing of handkerchiefs from illuminated houses on every hand. Huntingdon was paying tribute to a favorite son and with fireworks and flags and horns and in every conceivable man ner the happiness of the people over the return of one who had done them honor in honoring himself was ex pressed. Transparencies bore illumin ated testimony to the feelings of his friends and neighbors There were extracts from his speeches and his platform and many such sentiments, as "Our Friend. Our Neighbor and Governor, Thrice Welcome." , When the great procession reached the theater it was packed, stage, audi torium and gallery, and thousands clamored outside in a hopeless effort gcito get within ear-shot of the distin guished citizen who had come back to them. As soon as Dr. Brumbaugh finished his splendid speech, excellent in substance and in its neighborly sincerity, he hurried away and ad dressed another enormous crowd from a stand in the principal square of the town. Here he was given another ovation and until he left for Philadel phia at 1 o'clock this morning, in or der to meet his engagements for to day, his friends continued their ex hibitions of good will and their pledges of cordial support. After hearing his speech to-night a man who has been a student of po litical conditions for a generation made the remark that Dr. Brumbaugh was more conspicuously the candidate of the people than any nominee of any party within his time. "He will be elected by an over whelming plurality in November. He has grasped the meaning of the po litical movements of recent years as few men have been able to grasp it. His speeches, his warm sympathies, his earnest appreciation of what may be accomplished by sanity in progress and his desire to be of service to the State he loves will within the next thirty days absolutely eliminate any hope this year of the election of any body except himself to the guberna torial office." | There were many Washington party men among those who pressed for ward to greet Dr. Brumbaugh and assure him of their support. Not one but many of these men declared that there was no excuse for opposing him and in their Judgment any effort to continue opposition on the part of Progressives to Dr. Brumbaugh will injure the movement more than it will Injure the Republican candidate. The v formal meeting at the theater was called to order by County Chair man Samuel F. Spyker, who was cor dially congratulated by everybody on the success of the homecoming dem onstration. There was no happier man in the whole great assemblage. P. M. Lytle, for many years a mem ber of the House and later surveyor of the port at Philadelphia, presided and in a cordial, neighborly way, pre sented the guest of the evening. "This farmer's boy," said he, referring to the distinguished candidate's early struggles, "has come back for the ap proval of his neighbors and friends." Then in a most felicitous speech he told of Dr. Brumbaugh's career of usefulness and inspiration, and when he presented the Republican leader, a physical and Intellectual giant, the vast crowd was on its feet cheering, waving flags and singing with ex THE QUALITY STORE Every Home Should Have a TORRINGTON VACUUM SWEEPER Almost every woman will agree that of all the nil 11luminxii housekeeping duties to contend with, sweeping is the Wp worst-—real drudgery.

L. W. COOK überance "My Country, 'Tis of Thee." | It was a thrilling climax to the warmth of a reception such as has never been surpassed in the Juniata valley. Dr. Brumbaugh is a forceful and magnetic speaker. He talked as one would expect a man of the people to talk and he impressed all who heard him with his sincerity and truth and with the fact that he means what he says and will do what he says he will do. Many Visitors Among the many on the stage and in the audience who were responsible for the success of the great event, was G. Chal Port, captain of the Middle division police force of the Pennsyl vania Railroad and the chief marshal of the parade; William Lauder, of the State Educational Board and author of the school code, who came from Riddlesburg with a large delegation of Bedford countians; H. H. Waite, a prominent lawyer, who subsequently acted as chairman or the overflow meeting on the diamond; Judge George B. Orlady, of the Superior Court, another of the town's favorite sons; Louis G. Kolb, a prominent Philadelphia businessman and a neighbor of Dr. Brumbaugh in Ger mantown, who had come to see and participate In the reception of his townspeople; J. Lee Plummer and Jesse L. Hartman, of Hollidaysburg; Calvin Greene, a prominent tanner of Lewistown; State Senator Jones, of Altoona; District Attorney Patterson, Judge Baldridge, ex-Congressman J. D. Hicks, J. L. Kurtz and scores of others from Blair county; George W. Fisher, the progressive and energetic Mayor of the town; ex-Postmaster W. F. Eckbert, of Lewistown, and Juan Marindo, a native Porto Rlcan, who was brought as a boy from San Juan by Dr. Brumbaugh when he complet ed his work as Commissioner of Public Education on the island, and who was educated at Juniata College and sub sequently graduated at the University of Pennsylvania. He is now a prac ticing lawyer in Philadelphia and so grateful to his benefactor that he is now organizing the alumni of Juniata College "in the interest of the former head of the Institution. Among those who modestly went in and out among the people and co operated in the arrangements for the day was Howard E. Butz, the stal wart Republican owner and editor of the Huntingdon Globe and for many years postmaster of the town. He has been on the Republican firing line since away back in the famous Beaver-Stewart campaign, and the quality of his party service has never been questioned. It was with real neighborly enthusiasm that he wit nessed the cordial reception of his distinguished friend, the party's standard-bearer. Brumbaugh Outlines Policies to Neighbors Dr. Brumbaugh's voice shook with emotion as he addressed the great throng gathered to greet him in his old home town. He said, in part: "My neighbors and friends of the dear old home valley: "You cannot know with what depth of feeling I meet you here at home to-night. When I was considering the advisability of submitting my candi dacy to the people of Pennsylvania at the May primary the great question in my mind was not, can I be nominated and elected, but it was this—what will the home folks think about It? For, my friends, I would rather live in the enjoyment of your united regard and good will than In the possession of any preferment from the hands of the people at large. I could not think of losing In the heat of a partisan cam paign any of the lifelong friends here at home. I love this dear old county, its hills and valleys, its farms and its firesides, its people who sleep in its cemeteries and Its people who make It smile with the fruits of Industry and with the rewards of honest endeavor. One can never be true to himself if he be not true to his neighbors and to his God. "You all know me well. You have- seen me grow to manhood in your public schools and in Juniata College. You have seen me In the store, on the farm, at the mill, in the COLONIAL THEATER I ' g| Announces for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 13 SPAKTACUSI A marvelous 7,000-foot motion picture as big and beautiful as QUO VAD.IS I Owing to the size and cost of this feature there will be no vaudeville the first half of next fen week.

You have seen me at sixteen teaching school at Center Union, a year later at Marklesburg, and at twenty-two you elected me to the superintendency of your county schools. You saw me build my home and rear my family. You have been in my classes at Juniata or have heard me In your schoolhouses and churches We have hailed each other on the streets, on the highways and upon the threshold of your homes. You have always given me warmth and wel come to your fireside and family. God bless all of you. "My later work in Philadelphia, Porto Rico and the State and country at large you have followed as a father follows the career of his son. You know the families whence I came. You know the struggle I had to earn a livelihood and to secure an edu cation. You know that before I was president of your college I swept its classrooms for my tuition and rang its bell for my food. lam glad now that these things are so. "Do you wonder, therefore, that my chief concern was to have you decide for me whether or not I should lay aside my work as a teacher and offer my services to the people of this mighty Commonwealth as its Gov ernor?" He then outlined his platform as he submitted to the voters last Spring and said, in part: "Two hundred and fifty-three thou sand good men of Pennsylvania In May indorsed that decision, and I am a candidate with convincing assur ances of a triumphant election, and that, too, upon my own platform, written by myself and widely circu lated before the primaries. "You know best of all our people that my platform is a consistent state ment of the things for which I have always steadily stood. "You will be glad to know that the party in its platform at Pittsburgh two days ago cordially indorsed my candi dacy and commended to the favor of the people of Pennsylvania the state ments contained in my platform. "We thus have the fortunate sit uation of a united party supporting Its candidate upon a platform of his own, and which embodies principles you have helped to set in my spirit. 'We face the people upon a Juniata Valley declaration, consonant in every detail with our best thought and our highest character. "In my platform I have declared for those things which you know to be right, which are progressive, but not rash, or reactionary, which will bring, when enacted into law, peace, pros perity and happiness to our people. "I wish to think of Huntingdon as a typical center of agriculture and industrial endeavor in this Common wealth. ' What Is good here will be good In a large way in rural Pennsylvania. Having this in mind. I wish to declare to you my conviction that the first duty of your officials is to conserve the life and property of all citizens. We must, by law, maintain in the highest efficiency the quality of our citizens— moral, intellectual and physical. "Whatever holds in its bosom the promise of help to our workers, men, women or children, whether that help be the increase of wages, their better education, their safety in toil, their protection and that of their loved ones from accident or sudden death, the in creased comfort of their home life, shorter hours of toil and provision for wholesome, happy recreation, or any other comfort or help that any effect ive legislation can secure, shall have my sympathy and support. Firm for Local Ontion "The great corporations, employing thousands of our toilers, are increas ingly insisting that their employes shall live soberly and economically. They have added to the moral the eco nomic argument for such regulation of the liquor traffic as will secure the highest efficiency of our workers. "For that reason and because of its moral meaning, I have declared for local option. "The people of this county have by a special law the privilege I would ex tend to the entire State. Let the en tire issue be freely and fully met by the people, and let the issue rest with them. "This is fundamental In the spirit of our institutions. In this stan# I am confident I have your support and that of all fair-minded citizens. "The soil of Pennsylvania ought and can yield a much larger return to the farmer. It is my conviction that the State can and must in every way at its command assist the farmer in the wise treatment of soil, the proper se lection of seeds and the best method of marketing his products. "This means that we must and shall have good roads. It will require much money to do this. The State can and should do Its full share in assisting all sections of the State to construct good dirt roads and should construct trunk line roads from one important center to another. We have much to learn and little time in which to do this greatly needed road reform. "As a country boy I know conditions in this county. I now know the con ditions throughout the State and am prepared to guarantee to the people as large a measure of relief as the resources of the Commonwealth will permit. I also pledge you that it shall be my determined purpose to keep these roads, by constant treatment, in good condition for all times. to good schools. T count good roads the people's necessity. "This is a great center of natural resources. Here water powers, forests, mineral deposits, native rocks and ex tended reaches of soil combine to pro vide the means of support for a very large industrial group. These should be fostered and protected by law. "What has been wasted should be restored. What has been left un touched should be developed. Let tig combine to make the most of the gifts of God and the industry and genius of our people. This Is practical conser vation. "We have done much, as much as any State, in this great work. We shall do more. I should assist in all this fully and gladly. A wise people will leave to the succeeding generation a heritage of possible good greatly in excess of that which it enjoys. In this laudable enterprise I have always given my full assistance. As your Governor I can serve you in a much more effective way, and you know I will do so. "This is the center of a great, terri tory in which are many hoys and girls who crave with a holy hunger the? best food for their minds. They need and must have every educational ad vantage. given to any other youths of the State. "I submit that in all that makes for a sane and sensible education my training and experience warrant the claim that I can in this vast field of public service satisfactorily serve the people of this community and tlie en tire Commonwealth. Whatever of strength I have it will be my joy to give. "We must find a wiser and better way of making appropriations to our worthy charities. Whatever funds the Legislature may appropriate shall go only to those agencies and institutions that need it and that. In turn, serve well the people whose assistance they enjoy. "I shall see to It that the gifts of the State shall not exceed its re sources. I also declare that, wherever the money of the Commonwealth goes its supervision must follow. "We must be humane and generous, but we must also be sensible and Just. "I have been frankly honest with you all my life. I have been to-night. I shall always be. To you who know me best and to whom I now turn con fidently I appeal for a united support. You know that I shall stand for every advanced legislative provision that anyone can sanely stand for. I have an abiding conviction that the State needs as Governor a man of the com mon people who will regard his af firmation of office as a sacred thing to be kept In its spirit as fully as in its letter and who from long contact and participation in the struggles and en deavors of a great people knows their needs and bas the courage and ca pacity to give to the people a clean, capable and conscientious adminis tration of its affairs. "I ask you, regardless of past party affiliation, to support me in the No vember election. "You may safely count that the M. G. you have so long known will he the same M. G. in any position your votes may place him. "Let us forget the petty things that weak men clamor for in order to win preferment and patronage and unite to hring about a new day of hope and help for the people of this great Com monwealth of Pennsylvania."
