THE TRUSTING MEN
Brumbaugh Says Unless He Has
Confidence of Voters He Doesn't
Desire Their Suffrage
STRAIGHT TALK IS GIVEN
Northern Tier Will Be For the Re
publican Ticket This Year;
Penrose's Opinion
Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh. Repub- .
lican candidate for Governor, and his 1
campaign party went into the home of j
the Bull Moose on the northern tier t
yesterday and closed a tour of three 1
counties with a rousing Republican
rally ,\t Wellsboro, the home of Btate s
Treasurer R. K. Young, and the native
Jieath of E. A. VanValkenburg. The I
neighbors of these men turned out by
hundreds and cheered and cheered Dr. [
Brumbaugh when he declared that he
did not want the votes of any man who '
did not have the utmost confidence in j
him. The declaration by the big edu
cator was one of the boldest state- '
ments he has yet made and made a c
profound sensation among the think- ]
Ing men of that part of the State.
"More than 75,000 people signed '
»ny nomination papers Instead of 500 j
required by law. It was a spontaneous
end cordial endorsement of the sug- c
gestion of my name and any fool t
newspaper or citizen who thinks that
any man or group of men had any- (
thing to do with that nomination be
yond the free will of the petitioners i
who put my name upon the primary
l>allot Is blind to the truth of the situ- ]
ation," declared Dr. Brumbaugh.
"At the primary last May more than
one-fourth million people, good law
i abiding, legally qualified citizens and
electors of this State supported me
for the office of Governor and I come
•to you bearing a brief from that
mighty army ot" voters in this Com
'monwealth and it is because they .
have selected me that I come and I j
am willing to come among the people i
throughout the counties of this Com- s
monwealth to make a canvass for the
office to which they have nominated t
lue. t
Endlessly Free
"I have been honored with the pri- .
mary call. I have not in any way of- ;
fered to traffic or truckle for the nora- [
ination that has come to me as a j
Iree gift of the independent, clear
minded. honest-hearted people of
■r Pennsylvania. J
W "I won't sell out for gold or for
f i?ain to any soul in the world, and
' speaking for the ticket we are not
boss-made candidates who are stand
ing before you for your State offices.
"Somehow the moral of that lesson
into my blood to-night and 1
•would like to say to those here who
have undertaken to sell the solemn '
will and law of the people of Penn- •
fsylvania as expressed in their primar
ies. that I throw back their pretense
say take back your promises, we
1 will not have men who traduce the
■ of Pennsylvania.
Wants Only Confidence Votes
i "And I ask you here whether or not •
■we have before now in Pennsylvania a •
' fair and honest proposition to which :
all good citizens may rally and to
which 1 believe I am safe in inviting
the sympathy and co-operation of ev- j
ery good man and every good woman
In Pennsylvania.
"If any man feels that he made a
mistake in voting for me in the May
M primaries I relinquish any claim
m upon him. I want no man's vote in
■ Pennsylvania unless there is confi-
B deuce and character back of It."
•'A Shape-up and Wake-up"
( Mayor Frank E. McClain, of
V ter, candidate for Lieutenant-Gover
nor, in a satirical review of the prog
ress made by the Democratic party
. caused many laughs by his description
' of the marriage of the Progressive
1 Bull Moose to the Democratic mule.
Becoming serious he declared "a
Bhake-up precedes a wake-up."
"The Democratic party has done the
shaking up." said he, "and the people
i f the country are now wideawake.
The Democratic party is the party of
promises, not of performances. It has
failed to deliver most of the goods it
promised. Of what little goods it has
delivered, the people of America have
paid the freight without having any
Interstate Commerce Commission to
apply to for relief."
Mr. McClain In one of his speeches
to-day said:
"A perusal of a standard work of
animal life and habits informs me that
'. Bull Moose in his native condition will
mate only with those of his own spe
cies. We all know that the mule has
neither pride of ancestry nor hope of
prosperity. However, in Pennsylvania,
where the Bull Moose has been de
horned and his natural and virile in
stincts subdued by a merciless master,
we find him mated with the braying
quadruped upon whom he has looked
upon with superb contempt. Those
■who took to this misfit pair to surely
and safely draw the load, and it is an
awful load to deliver the goods, should
pause and reflect upon the fate of the
man who attempted to plow with
strange heifers.
"You have read Dr. Brumbaugh's
platform, you have heard his declara
tion of principles and am sure that
you need nothing further to convince
you that the confidence man, the poli
tical thimble rigger .ana those who
would like to live at the expense of
the State without work, will not have
even a lookin, much less to get in
when Dr. Brumbaugh is elected Gov
ernor."
Dr. Brumbaugh and the rest of the
party assailed during the day the fu
sion of the Progressives and Demo
cratic parties, insisting in their
speeches that both of these parties
had broken the spirit of the direct
primary law and pointing out the Re
publican State ticket stands as it was
made by the 253,000 votes of this
State.
An Interesting part of the Wells
k horo meeting was the presence of
ft practically every survivor of the
A Forty-fifth Regiment Pennsylvania
B Volunteers. The veterans had arrang
■ ed a night meeting, but on learning
ii that the Republican gubernatorial
J candidate was in town and was going

French Get Revenge
For Defeat at Sedan
Forty-four Years Ago
London, Oct. 1, 4.20 a. in.—During
the strategical retreat of the allies
southward from the Belgian frontier,
the French troops exacted from the
Germans bloody revenge for the
French defeat at Sedan forty-four
years before. On this same battle
geld. according to the Paris corre
spondent of the Daily Mail, the Ger
mans suffered one of the worst de
feats of their present invasion. Here
is the story of the second battle of
Sedan:
"The French general ordered his
troops to fall back across the river
and take up positions on the opposite
heights. The bridges were mined but
were left standing in order to deceive
the Germans into thinking that the
French were retreating hastily. The
ruse succeeded. The Germans ad
vanced across the bridge in close for
mation. When several German regi
ments had crossed thp French blew
up the bridges and the French ar
tillery started firing at a hundred Ger
man columns, which retreated hastily
to the river only to find the bridges
[gone.
Many Die In River
"The French regiments then ad
vanced with quick lirers, and the mer
ciless slaying continued until dusk.
Many Germans threw down their arms
and attempted to swim the river and
large numbers were drowned. When
night fall came the French brought up
searchlights and continued the work of
carnage. The French had suffered
the loss of only a handfull."
Germans Say Allies
Have Been Repulsed
By Associated tress
London, Oct. 1, 10.30 a. m. —This
official statement was issued from Ger
man general headquarters September

"The hostile forces advancing to

Frence, eighteen miles northeast of!
Amiens, have been repulsed. The ]
front battl line Is without news. Inj

"The direct tax legislation will com

continually becoming aroused to new
developments. For instance, on my
recent trip through western Pennsyl

not a single Union veteran had been
appointed to federal office In this
State under the Wilson administra
tion.
"Meanwhile scores of Union veterans
have been discharged from office. I
will even go further and state that
with the exception of the appointment
of the commissioner of pensions at
Washington, it would be difficult to
show where a single Union veteran has
been appointed to any office in any of
the northern States.
"On the other hand very many Con
federate veterans have been appointed
to federal positions, particularly in the
District of Columbia, where many old

and Confederates have been appointed

Villa and Constitutional
ist Leader
By Associated Press
Washington. Oct. I.—General Car
ranzas resignation, generally ex
pected to-day as a step in healing
the breach with General Villa and his
followers may not take place until
after the conference of military chiefs,
seeking to compose the differences,
finishes its work at Zacatecas.
The Zacatecas conference was ex
pected to assemble to-day. Informa
tion here was that its sole purpose is i
to satisfy he demands or" Villa. Chief j
among those is Carranza's resignation j
probably and while it may be pledged, j
it was said Carranasa would follow his |
original plan of not actually giving up '
his place until the Mexican City con- |
vention chooses a provisional presi-1
dent.
Communications from Mexico, slo>v j
in transmission and hampered by a,
rigid censorship, shed no light on
whether this convention, also called I
for to-day would begin sessions or j
whether it would be delayed to await;
the outcome of the Zacatecas confer-j,
Nice. The view that It would, pre- '
vailed in administration circles and j
among some close to Carranza. The !
delay, however, was not regarded as j
endangering the hope of settlement j
of Mexican affairs. The attitude of i
the administration continued as one of ]
impartial observation.

j bush's father well and that the latter
was a brave soldier in the Civil War.
Mrs. Elsie V. Middleton, of the

WILSON IS WRITING
ENDORSEMENT NOTES
Writes to Various State Leaders
Asking That Democrats
Be Returned
Washington, Oct. 1. —President
Wilson to-day opened his letter writ
ing campaign for the election of
Democratic senators and representa
tives. He wrote letters endorsing
Senator Shiveley. of Indiana, and Sen
ator Chamberlain, ot" Oregon. Others
will be written in the near future.
In his letter to Senator Owen en
dorsing Senator Chamberlain, the
President declared that "the mainten
ance of the Democratic majority in
jthe Senate is of the utmost importance
;to the country if the present policies
|and program of the government are
ito be sustained and continued and I
jtake it for granted that voters every
j where will feel the force of that mo
> tlve.
The letter endorsing Senator Shive
ley was addressed to Majority Leader
Kern, of the Senate, and was as fol
lows:
"I am genuinely surprised that any I
question should have arisen as to j
whether I want Senator Shiveley re- '
turned. I do most decidedly wish it. I
I have admired Senator Shiveley's
steadfast resolution to duty and stand- |
ards of party and unfaltering loyalty •
in all matters of public policy as well
as his party associates have and 1
learned to have a very warm personal
' feeling and admiration for him. It
would in my judgment be a very great!
[loss to the party and to the Senate If
he should not be re-elected. 1 trust
that there is no doubt of his re-elec-i
I tion.
"May I not add a word of cordial!
appreciation of the whole Indiana
delegation in Congress. The members
of the House have stood by the ad
ministration with unfailing generos
ity and spirit and have made me feel
: a very deep interest in the political
(fortunes of every one of them,
j "I need not tell you, my dear Sena
tor. what my sentiments are toward
j yourself."
: To a request bv Senator Pomeron
that he speak in Ohio, President Wil
son to-day reiterated his determina
tion not to go on the stump. He told
the senator he felt he must remain
actively at the head of the government
in Washington. Secretary Bryan an
nounced that he would sneak during
the campaign not only in < >hin but also
:in Indiana, lowa and Nebraska.

"The triangle formed by joining St.

has been falling heavily for two days,
but the Russians are pushing on de
terminedly. Two German divisions
have been destroyed in the battle of
Druskeniki. In Western Russian Po
land th brushes between advance
guards continue.
"The Polish peasants are extremely
bitter against the Germans. The Ger
mans everywhere pretended to pay for
supplis with documnts written in Ger
man. When translated the peasants
found that these papers hod inscribed
thereon that 'whoever pr?sents this
at the end of th war will be hangd.'
There has problbly been sniping by the
civilian population as the bodies of six
peasants weer found hanging to a

Secretary of Annex Committee
Avoids Giving Names in An
swer to an Inquirer
Explicit demand that the "Inde
pendent Republican Committee," op
erating from this city against the e\«-
tlon of Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh
reveal the personnel of Its organ
ization. together with the names of its
financial backers, was made yesterday
by Albert E. Turner, for many years
identified with independent political
movements in Philadelphia. I" an
open letter Mr. Turner not only called
the committee to account, but came
out with a pointed indorsement of the
candidacies of Dr. Brumbaugh and
Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer,
Democratic candidate for the Senate.
The letter was directed specially to
John D. Strain, secretary of the Inde
pendent Republican Committee. It
said: "As an independent Republican
1 have nothing but admiration for
Vance McCormick and the work he
has done for this State. I hope to
give some effort to the election of
Mr. Palmer, but 1 am more than 3
anxious to see a Governor elected who 5
understands the needs of this State in
a prominent degree and who by his
entire life has demonstrated his ability
as an independent administrator and
leader of men."
Mr. Strain, who has an office of re
duced size in the Kunkel building, and
who is not unknown about the Demo
cratic State headquarters, this morn
ing made public a statement in which
he carefully avoided any mention of
names and said that all would be
made public in good time. He said
that he had received Mr. Turner's
letter and answered it "fully and
frankly."

Commend Hankers' Spirit
In view of the unfavorable money
market, the local patriotism of the
banking institutions in question is
highly commended by the financial
officers of the city. Unless this ar
rangement had been made it would
have been necessary to cease opera
tions on the river wall, Paxton creek
and other contracts.
It Isn't the first time these three
llarrlsburg banks have come to the
relief of the city under similar cir
cumstances and the transaction to
day again demonstrates their loyalty
to llarrisburg and those things involv
ing the city's welfare.
The city of New York has recently
been compelled to pay six per cent. H
and more for municipal loans and H
when gilt-edge securities and short
time notes are selling on a basis of
seven and a half and eight per cent,
the action of the three • Harrttburg
banks in providing the necessary Cunds B
at four per cent, is regarded as
commendable. •
To have stopped work now and thui.
thrown into idleness many men who
are now dependent on the city work
for their living, thus adding to the H
unemployed, would have been a calam
ity which has now happily been avert
ed by the action of the city officials
and the public spirit of the banks
mentioned.
