DU.G.BRUMBWH REPUDIATES Mil OF PERSONAL LIBERTY PARTY NAMING HIM Did Not Know He Had Been Nomi nated Until Oct. 22; Is Trying to Get Name Off; Makes a Pledge By Associated Press Philadelphia, Oct, 27.—1)r. Martin G. Brumbaugh, Republican candidate for (iovernor, to-day issued a state ment, repudiating the action of the Personal liberty party in making him its candidate for governor. The statement says: '•I learned for the first time on October 22, that I was on the Personal liberty ticket as a nomi nee for Governor. Xo one ever suggested to me the intention to name me 011 tills party's ballot, in fact 1 did not know there was such a ballot or such a party. Had I been consulted or Informed I should certainly have declined to the nomination because I sought only the Republcan nomination. I do not know what this party stands for, have never seen its principles, and know no one in its organization, but liad learned In directly that It Is presumably fa vorable to the liquor interests. "Immediately after learning that my name appeared upon this party's ballot I consulted my at torneys and directed them to have my name removed. They, they have Informed me. is impossible under present election laws. "I therefore, hereby and In the strongest language at my com mand repudiate utterly Its en dorsement of me, and pledge my self, if elected governor to de mand the Immediate enactment of such legislation as will make It absolutely impossible hereafter in Pennsylvania for any man's name to be placed upon a ballot without Ills written consent."

PINCHOT HITTING AT PALMER NOW; BREAK COMPLETE Pittsburgh Story Tells How the Rival Senatorial Candi dates Fell Out The compact which has long been rumored between A. Mitchell Palmer and Gifford Plnchot to abstain from thumping each other and to concen trate their fire on Boles Penrose has been broken forty ways, says the Phil adelphia Press to-day in a very cir cumstantial story from Pittsburgh The Press story appears to have been borne out by the manner in which Roosevelt yesterday attacked Palmer and by the criticisms Palmer and Plnchot have been levelling at each other. The Press says that an agreement had been reached in Pitts burgh and declares: "It now develops that the plan pro ceeded smoothly until the time for the second conference which was the day before the time limit for withdrawal, October 19. Then William Flinn ap peared as the Plnchot champion. He argued strenuously that Palmer should withdraw for two reasons: "First, that W. Draper Lewis, the Washington party candidate for Gov ernor, had withdrawn in favor of Vance C. McCormick. Second, that Roosevelt carried Pennsylvania in the last Presidential election, and, that in the event of Palmer's withdrawal, Roosevelt would come into Pennsylva nia and make a continuous State-wide fight for Plnchot until election day. "In reply to this Palmer pointed to the meager registration total of the Progressives and asserted that if Pln chot were the only candidate the election of Penrose would be assured. He maintained that the surest way to defeat Penrose was to have both him self and Plnchot remain in the field. "The conference broke up in a row, Flinn and his associates declaring that Palmer was selfish and that they would show no consideration to him hereafter. "This explains the sudden outbreak of attacks by the Progressives upon Palmer. It also explains Palmer's [Continued on Page 5.] Democrats Can't Give State Local Option "The Democrats pledge local option in their platform.

"From 60 to 65 per cent, of the Democratic nomi nees for the Legislature were nomi nated as opponents of local option, and will so vote. I pledge that every Republican on the legislative ticket In Pennsylvania, If elected, will be left absolutely free and untrammeled to vote on the liquor question as his constituents demand."

Lulgi 12 PAGES * POSTSCRIPT German Line Reported to Have Been Broken; Allies Take Offensive After Long Period of Comparative Inaction, French and British Resume Operations at Many Points and Claim Advantages at Several Places; Invaders Driven Back to German Soil Near Eastern End of Battle Line; Re sults, However, Are Not Decisive The unyielding German line, which, for six weeks has been stretched across France, is said on the authority of the French war office to have been broken at last. Near the eastern end of the line in the region beyond Nancy, to-day's French official statement re ports the invaders have been driven back onto German soil. At other points over the long line the offensive has been resumed by the allied forces, after a long period of comparative inaction. The French claim to have won the advantage in an engagement at the point where the line sweeps eastward from the north, less than sixty miles from Paris. Retween Soissons and Berry-au-Bac, to the east of the bend in the line, heavy fighting has been resumed. Ap parently the engagement was limited to an artillery duel, the en trenched positions of the opposing forces forbidding the use of in fantry. To the northward, along the Franco, Belgian border the fight ing continued with undiminished ferocity. Along the Yser, where the struggle has been most intense, the allies have not drawn back, says the French official statement while toward the south further progress has been made between Ypres and Roulers. As reports filter in from the scene of fighting along the North Sea, supplementing the unemotional official statements, it became evidence to-day that the recent battles along the shore of the North Sea have been the most terrible of the war. From Emperor William, himself, it is said, came the order that the German advance down the coast must be continued at any cost, and that Calias must be taken. The desperate assaults which followed, particularly along the Yser canal, have few precedents in modern military history. 5,000 GERMANS CROSS CANAL British newspaper correspondents estimate that some 5,000 Ger mans succeeded in forcing their way across the canal. They did it at a frightful cost. Into a hail storm of shrapnel and shot the Germans charged night after night, only to be cut down by the thousands until the canal was clogged at points with their bodies. Those who suc ceeded in forcing their way across came to death grips with their waiting adversaries, and with rifle shot and bayonet the struggle went on. Of the Germans who crossed the Yser, according to British reports few escaped alive. All reports agree that the fighting in the east continues without decisive results. The French official statement says that on the river San and south of Przemysl the Russian offensive is becoming "more accentuated." The latest official Austrian communications state the main Russian army is being engaged and that minor successes have been won by the Germans and Austrians. From Petrograd no report had come up to early afternoon. Further fighting in Bosnia is reported from Vienna, where the claim is made that the Servians have been driven back to Vishnegrad and that eastern Bosnia is cleared of the enemy. Although it is impossible to make even a rough estimate of the sacrifices in men entailed by the war all indications point to an enor mous total of dead and wounded men. Berlins sends a report that the French have 400,000 men wounded and incapicitated through ill ness. Rome relates that what are styled official reports place the German average of casualties at 10,000 daily. The condition of General Von Moltke, chief of the German gen eral staff who was compelled by illness to relinquish his duties is said in Berlin to be such as to cause no alarm. German Casualties Said to Average 10,000 Daily By Associated Press Rome, Oct. 26, 1.35 P.
