It was a meeting compared to which the Democratic attempts to have meetings were aa mere gatherings around a corn doctor In Market Square. The great hall was crowded, jammed and packed. There were men and women who wanted to hear the real issues of the campaign, the issues that are affecting every man, woman and child, discussed. And they were discussed. Governor John K.

Senator Penrose made a speech that rang with stalwart Re publicanism and which gave an op portunity for him to say a few words in reply to the deluge of denuncia tion that has been heaped upon him. The congressional and legislative can didates took up the policies in which they were directly interested and were heartily cheered. Dr. Martin G.

Brumbaugh fulfilled his promise to the people of the lower end of Dauphin county to be their guest for one day before the close of the campaign.—and the people showed their appreciation by thronging to meet him at every turn of the road. "I am indeed delighted at the pros pect," said Dr. Brumbaugh shortly after his arrival in the city. ''The j people of Lancaster county were kind- j ness itself yesterday, and if my journey j through the lower part of Dauphin | county Is as pleasant as was my visit to the upper end a few weeks ago, I shall lie happy indeed. That great turnout at Millersburg still lingers pleasantly in my memory." Dr. Brumbaugh is well pleased I with his reception throughout the State. He is confident that it is all over but counting the votes, and mem bers of his party who have for years made a study of political conditions in Pennsylvania say that they never saw prospects brighter for a great Re- j publican victory.

HUH WILL LIVE TO SEE HIS SON ELECTED Father of Republican Candidate Discharged From Blair Me morial Hospital Special to The Telegraph Huntingdon, Pa.. Oct. 29. —The Rev. George Boyer Brumbaugh, after hov ering for several weeks between life and death at Blair Memorial Hospital, will be spared to see his son elected as the next Governor of Pennsylvania. The octogeuariun has been discharged from the hospital and taken to Mar klesburg, where on Tuesday he will proudly lead the voters or Penn town ship to the polls and cast his ballot for his boy. For a time It was thought that the Rev. Mr. Brumbaugh would not be spared to witness the election of his son to the governorship, and during the first few days of his illness his death was momentarily expected. His son cancelled all campaign plans and hurried to the bedside of his father, and, it Is believed, the good cheer of the visit, coupled with the aged man's remarkable vitality, pro longed his life. ROOSEVELT BOOSTS GIFFORD PUT BUT JABS PilU Gets Tumultuous Greetings in Halls, but Street Crowds Appear Rather Chilly Theodore Roosevelt butted Into the political situation in Harrisburg this morning and in the course of his ninety minute visit was heard by prob ably 3,000 persons and seen by twice thjit many. The Colonel proved that he was still the greatest crowd drawer in American public life and men, wo men and children packed two halls and lined streets to hear and see htm. The former President told the people of this part of the State what he thought they ought to do, but it was noticeable that there was not much enthusiasm when he urged the voters to mark their ballots for a tree-trad© Democrat when he had been so un sparing in his own criticisms of the Wilson administration. The Colonel demonstrated that the extent of the grouch he has had against Boies Penrose since 1912 was as great as ever and that he has an abiding faith in Pinehot. He pleased the men who still align themselves with his party by asserting that the party still lived, but he gave the Dem ocrats chills by scanty advocacy of [Continued on Page 11] He Didn't Want to Kill Teddy; Was Just Trying to Shake Hands Edward Caster, 701 State street, a | waiter in a small restaurant, while at • tempting: to shake hands with "Teddy" I Roosevelt, had his overcoat caught 'in | the side of the Colonel's machine. | After running a short distance the | police and spectators, thinking that ho had made an attempt to assassinate the Colonel, ran and caught him.

The annual report of Quartermaster-General Ale shlre shows that the average cost of the ration for American troops this year was 24.40 cents, as against 23.41 in 1913, 12 PAGES ♦ POSTSCRIPT Germans Meet Reverses in Both East and West; More Troops Are Ready Russians Have Immense Reserve Force Prepared to Hurl at Kaiser's Army; British Has 1,500,000 Men Which May Soon Be Sent to Continent; Germany Silent on Battle in Flanders and Acknowledges Check in Rus sian Poland; Disguised German Cruiser Sinks Two More Vessels Prom the west and from the east German reverses are reported, (lermany acknowledges a check in Russian Poland, but concerning the great battle in Flanders she preserves her silence. The only official word received by midday to-day was from the French, who again made indefinite claims to further progress. Not since the struggle along the North Sea began a fortnight ago has Germany made a statement upon which may be based judgment as to the course of events. The best information available indicates that, notwithstanding their dauntless attacks and heavy sacrifices of life, the (iermans are further from the coast than when the battle began. 1 he factor upon which the allies build their hopes of an eventual triumph, according to their claims, is beginning to tell. It is the almost inexhaustible supply of men that may be drawn from the \ ast reaches of the British and Russian empires, which are relied upon in time to crush the Germans, as Grant did the South, by over whelming numerical superiority. In the cast this influence seeming ly is already being felt and to it is ascribed the German reverse in Russian Poland. The secret of the Russian victory, writes a British correspondent at Petrograd, lies in the vastness of the Russian em peror's army which lie estimates at 8,000,000 men This enabled the Russians to keep an immense reserve for every army, changing i egiments frequently and never leaving the same men on the firing line long enough to become stale. Meanwhile the British who described their forces now on the continent as merely an advance guard, are training at home an army of 1,500,000 men of whom 600,000 are from her colonies. LITTLE SPECIFIC INFORMATION 10-day's French statement, while again optimistic in tone gav« little specific information. On the extreme western end of the battle line, where the fighting has been fiercest, there is "nothing new." London ascribes the lull of the last few days to the fact ttiat the opposing armies have been unduly exhausted by incessant fighting by day and night and perforce relaxed their efforts. There is no indication, however, that Germany intends to abandon the fight for possession of the North Sea coast. Unofficial reports have it that reinforcements are being poured in from every part along the battle line where they can be spared. In the opinion of military critics the outcome of this battle, the severest open fighting of the war, may determine whether it is possible for exposed columns of infantry to stand up against modern instruments of war such as the machine gun. To the south and east along the battle line across France suc cesses are reported by the French to the south of Arras, between the Aisne and the Argonne and in the forest of Apremont. None of the German attacks, it is said, has been successful. The German cruiser Emden, whose remarkable exploits have fairly earned a place in history, is reported to have performed the most daring feat of all. Disguised with a fourth smokestack, pre sumably taken from some captured vessel, and flying the Japanese flag, the Emden is said to have sailed boldly into the waters of Penang, a British possession in the Straits settlement and to have sunk a Russian cruiser and a French destroyer. The Emden was reported yesterday to have sent to the bottom a small Japanese steamer. A long list of losses on the sea continues to grow. Another steamer is reported to have been sunk off the north coast of Irelnad. Off Cuxhaven a Swedish steamer was destroyed by a mine with the loss of five men. No further word was received from South Africa, although England's anxiety was relieved by the official statement last ni<d i: that General Louis Betha, commander-in-chief of the Union of South Africa forces, met promptly and effectively the emergency presented by the new rebellion. He was said to have put to route the forces under General Christian Beyers. No word has yet been received however, concerning the activities of General Christian De Wet, the noted Boer general who has also taken the field.
