Churchmen and Not
Liquor Interests Endorse
Dr. M. G. Brumbaugh
Clergymen, Laity and Leaders of Religious Work and So
cial Movements Protest Against Unfair Attacks and
Lying Criticisms of His Opponents; He Is Their
Choice For Governor; Liquor Men Endorse No Guber
natorial Candidate
Churchmen, both of the clergy and
laity, leaders in religious work and so
cial movements have Issued a call for
sincere believers in local option to
rally around Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh
for Governor.
Coincident with the issuance of this
call came the announcement from
Doctor Brumbaugh that he was inves
tigating the Personal Liberty party,
and if he found the party was the
agent of the liquor traffic, would at
once issue a formal statement re
pudiating its indorsement of him.
Equally significant with the call of
the local option advocates and Doctor
Brumbaugh's statement on the Per
sonal Liberty party was the publish
ing of a list of candidates to be sup
ported by the liquor interests. And
this list does not contain the name of
Doctor Brumbaugh.
In this connection statements ac
credited to "Billy" Sunday were denied
yesterday by the e\angellst in a tele
gram. He said positively that he was
not opposed to Doctor Brumbaugh.
Personal pie<lge Valued
In the public statement Issued by
churchmen attention Is drawn to the
fact that Doctor Brumbaugh's per
sonal pledge to support local option
legislation carries even more weight
than "any political platform which
could be framed." and his record, as
public man and private citizen, is cited
to show that, as Governor, he will be
a tower of strength, not only to local
option, but to every moral reform.

Primer Lesson
For Manufacturers
, The "ultimate consumer" Is
the factor who must determine
your success.
The "ultimate consumer" buys
over the counter of the retailer.
Both "ultimate consumer" an<»
"retailer" are newspaper read
ers.
A product advertised In the
newspaper appeals to the con
sumer as something desirable to
buy; to the retailer as some
thing "easily sold."
A mutuality of interest is es
tablished that moves the goods
from the retailer's shelves.
The answer is success.
National manufacturers who
would like to know bow to make
their advertising more effective
are Invited to address the Bu
reau of Advertising, American
Newspaper Publishers Associa
tion. World Building. New
York.
The concluding paragraph of the
statement calls attention to the fact
that the really vital problem before
the friends of local option in Pennsyl
vania this year is the election of State
senators and representatives who will
pass a local option bill, and declares
that this Important point has appar
ently been overlooked In a great
measure.
Men who signed the statement In
every case volunteered. All signers are
known for achievements in the cause
of temperance. As churchmen they
are indorsing a fellow-churchman, for
Doctor Brumbaugh is not only one of
the nation's foremost educators, but he
is also a minister of the Gospel. As a
Sunday school worker he represented
the t'nited States at the world con
ference held in Geneva last year.
Text of Statement
The full text of the statement they
have signed is:
"Believing that the present cam
paign in our State of Pennsylvania is

who are equally conscientious in their
efforts to promote the cause of local
option as the most urgent temperance

PALM EH REALIZES
THAI HIS RACE NEARS
DISASTROUS END
People in Philadelphia Ridicule the
Claims of Majority For
Vance C. McCormick
Philadelphia, Oct. 26. —A. Mitchell
Palmer knows now that he Is prac
tically out of the running. This ac
counts for his recent irascible speech
and the peevishness which those about
him have noticed in an increasing de
gree during the last week. It comes
from inside Democratic sources that
j hope of electing Palmer to the United
States Senate has been given up and
his violent attack upon Gifford Pin
chot has further angered the Wash
ington party people who were already
out of sorts as a result of the McCor
mick-Flinn deal. Many of these third
party voters are supporters of Pinchot
and they are now declaring their in
tention of resenting the Palmer at
tacks by voting against McCormick.
Claims of a majority for the Demo
cratic candidate for governor outside
of Philadelphia are ridiculed here.
Reports from every county in the State
from the most reliable sources indi
cate that Dr. Brumbaugh will sweep
the Commonwealth from one end to
the other and it will not surprise
some careful observers of the political
trend to see him carry all but a few
counties.
It is whispered here among inside
Democrats that it would not do to let
McCormick know the truth for fear
he might withhold the campaign cash.
Already there are some indications of
a weakening on his part, especially in
the matter of liberal contributions.
I Most of those who have been ap
■ proached for Democratic funds make
no concealment of their feeling that a
multimillionaire should be able to fi
nance his own campaign without ask
ing help from the workers.
Another factor which is aiding the
campaign of Dr. Brumbaugh is the
resentment throughout the State over
the efforts of a few preachers and oth
ers to capitalize religious sentiment for
McCormick. A few religious bodies
have been led Into endorsements of
the Democratic candidate, but the vot
ers in these denominations are exercis
ing their own judgment.

Lists of Capitol Jobs
to Encourage Workers
It was stated to-day that the Demo
cratic county chairmen throughout
Pennsylvania have been furnished a list
of all State employes and tlvat these
lists are being utilized In securing sup
port for McCormick through promises
of appointment to jobs In the event of
his election. Mow many promises are
being made for each job remains to be
seen, but it is intimated that all the
positions In the State would not be
sufficient to make good one-tenth of
the promises that have been given to
secure votes for McCormick.

Dr. Brumbaugh's Local Option Pledges
[Philadelphia Public Ledger.]
If any candidate for any office at any time or anywhere ever ex
pressed himself clearly and strongly on local option, that candidate Is
Doctor Brumbaugh. There is not a wisp of mist or fringe of fog about
"Is words, it could not be more emphatic If It were printed in letters
of lire across the sky. Doctor Hruinlmugh has pledged himself, vowed
himself, yea. consecrated himself to county local option in these words:
tnke the Ntaud fop local option, for the right of every county In
the t'nninionneMlth of Pennsylvania to expreHM for Itself whether or
niW liquor shall lie Mold. I have Just heard to-dny that Homebody did
not understand whether 1 hiik for county local option or whether I
wan for farm local option. Well, I nald county by county. Shall I
spell It for youf ilnvlnK taught others for a generation how to read
and write and to speak the Kngllah language, I aomehon feel that I
know how to nay what I think.
Any man who says that is not an explicit, irrevocable pledge to local
option by counties maliciously misrepresents the facts. Further
more. there is absolutely no excuse or even semblance of excuse
for such a deliberate misrepresentation. For men who purport to
stand for temperance to embarrass the man who has stood for temper
ance legislation all his life Is a form of criminal imbecility. Such a
policy simply encourages Uie liquor interests In their propaganda.
The strength of Doctor Ilrumluiiigh's position is that the local option
plunk is his own. If it were only a general party campaign or plat
form promise there might l>e a loophole through which a successful
candidate could crawl after election. But local option was not in llie
party platform, hut it was one of the things the Doctor advocated
throughout his campaign, and he stuck to it when astute politicians
assured him it was not necessary for him to take such an advanced
stand. He stuck to It because It was a profound personal conviction, an
inescapable and imperative moral principle, that he could not shelve and
yet live at peace with his conscience.

Tide of Great Battle
Along Franco-Belgian
Border Still Unturned
Three Meadows Near Ostend Are Said to Be Heaped With
German Dead; With Reckless Bravery, Kaiser's Sol
diers Are Being Hurled Against Allies; Attempt to
Cut Off German Right Wing Reported to Have Met
With Some Success; Toll of Human Life Is Heavy
I lie supreme efforts of the fighting men of five nations have
failed to turn tlie tide of battle along the Franco-Belgian border.
Latest reports to-day were that a struggle of unparalleled fury was
still in progress along the North Sea, where the Germans, with
lcckless bravery, are flinging their troops against the allied forces.
1 he French official statement indicates that an attempt to cut off
the German right wing had made some progress. It is also said the
allies have established a front from Yres to Roulers, the German line
has been thrust back in a sharp angle, the point of which is con
siderably to the northward of their forces on the shore of the North
Sea. Ihe German movement across the Yscr, which presented a
menacing aspect to the allies has been checked, the French war
office says.
All accounts agree that the toll of human life enacted in this
crucial struggle is enormous. Three meadows near Ostend, a
British correspondent reports, are heaped with German dead.
From the remainder of the long line of battle, stretching to the
south and east across France to the edge of Switzerland there is no
word. Apparently both sides are waiting the outcome of the con
flict to the north, upon which depends future plans of campaigning
although it is probable that heavy fighting is still in progress to the
north of \ erdun where the army of the German crown prince is
making a desperate effort to pierce the French line.
Reports from the eastern front indicate that the greatest battle
of the war in that area is impending. Austria, in its latest official state
ment. makes the claim to having thrust strong forces across the Car
pathians in the face of determined resistance. German and Austrian
forces, it is said, have now a strong wall of troops along a well estab
lished line which stretches from the northern spurs of the Carpathian
before the long disputed fortress of Przemysl and on into the dis
trict of Plock. Before this line is arrayed the main army of the Rus
sians now said to have been reinforced by troops from the Caucasus,
Siberian and Turkestan. The Austrians claim successes in engage
ments to the northeast of Przemysl and on the lower San.
GERMANS CONTINUE RETREAT
Latest dispatches from Petrograd say that the Germans are con
tinuing their precipitate retreat, and have evacuated Lodz, in Poland.
An attempt by the Germans to check the Russian advance, it is said,
was unsuccessful.
No word has come up to early afternoon of the fighting at Tsitig
Tau where a small German garrison is attempting to stand off
attacks by land and sea from the combined Japanese and British
forces. Recent reports that relations between China and Japan were
being strained were strengthened by word from Peking that Chinese
Foreign Minster had demanded the surrender of a Japanese torpedo
boat which entered Chinese waters and attempted to tow away the
wreck of the torpedo boat beached by the Germans to escape des
truction by the Japanese.
A message from Berlin confirmed recent reports that General
Von Moltz was no longer acting as chief of the German general
staff. Owing to his illness, it was said, his place was being filled
by General Von Falkenhasen.

German Losses Said to
Be Exceedingly Heavy
By Associated Press
London, Oct. 26, 3.13 A. M.—"The
position on the coast is stationary this
morning," says a Daily Mail dispatch
from Flushing, Netherlands, under
date of Sunday. "There is less firing
and it is more to the southward. No
alteration of the situation is reported
fror Ostend.
"The German losses are frightful.
The wounded are now installed in pri
vate houses in Bruges where large
wooden sheds are being built to care
for the injured. Thirty-seven farm
wagons, containing a convulsive mass
of wounded, dying and dead passed in
one hour near Middlekerke.
