CHESTNUT STREET HALL
TOO SMALL TO HOLD BIG
REPUBLICAN MEETING
[Continued From First Pace]
End Clubs marched In they had to
hustle for seats. And when the col
ored brethren arrived there was hard
lystanding room and some climbed
into the bandstand.
Tener Discuses the
Career of Brumbaugh
and the Low Tariff
Governor Tener in accepting the
gavel had to wait until the applause
tnat broke out spontaneously all over
the hall had subsided. Then he made
a snort speech In which he set forth
what the campaign means. The Gov
ernor said:
Governor Tener's Speech
Governor Tener said:
'*n_is not my purpose to-night to
undertake a comprehensive review of
this campaign and its issues, nor at
tempt to discuss the relative merits
of the several candidates on the vari
ous tickets.
"There are Just two nominations
that I propose to consider and there
Is but one general statement that I In
tend to make.
"The first thing I have to say is with
respect to the next Governor of Penn
sylvania—Martin G. Brumbaugh. My
successor Is about 62 years of age.
During more than thirty years of that
time he has been instructing, molding
the character and fashioning the Ideals
of the rising young men and women of
this Commonwealth and this nation.
That has been his one consecration
and delight.
"The word conservation has come
into our industrial, mineral, agricul
tural, State and national problems,
and it has transformed, if not elevat
ed our politics and possibly some of
our politicians, but whether we be
conservationists or not, when they say
to us that the paramount conservation
is the conservation of our youth which
comes through education, we all agree,
and such has been Martin G. Brum
baugh's contribution to the cause of
conservation.
Man of Achievement
"He comes of that sturdy stock
which is representative of the highest
type of solid citizenship, stout patriot
ism and every-day, hard-working
manhood. He is a product of the
common schools, with a university fin
ish, self-earned. He has been a teach
er and superintendent of public in
struction in his native countv. He was
the organizer of the American school
system in Porto Rico, to which island
he was sent by another school teacher
named William McKinley, and since
then he has been at the head of the
educational system In Philadelphia.
This has been his record for more
than thirty years, nor has anyone
found a single flaw in that record,
nor is there aught in his whole life
or life's work to be explained away
or glossed over in this campaign.
"They say, however, that Dr. Brum
baugh is supported by men more or
less tained with party regularity. Ad
mitting that he is, since, when, may I
ask, has It been called strange for a
blameless man, a man of rectitude and
righteous instincts and orderly incli
nations. to inspire the admiration and
enlist the sympathy and support of the
regular Republicans, as well as of
those who have thought differently.
Safe In Brumbaugh
"Look over Martin G. Brumbaugh's
career and you will find only great
achievements and great goodness;
and I am persuaded that a good man
does pot become a bad man by the
mere fßct of his election to the gover
norship of Pennsylvania. Your inter
ests will be safe In the hands of Mar
tin G. Brumbaugh.
"To the Governor we look for the
disposition of purely domestic matters
and such of our affairs as are within
State control. To our United States
senators we have confided our repre
sentation in the settlement of those af
fairs which ooncern the whole nation.
The Congress of the United States
deals legislatively with the great prob
lems of revenue, protection and super
vision, touching the most vital ques
tions of our national prosperity. Un
less we prosper as a people, we "cannot
prosper as a State. We go up as
forty-eight States or we go down a 6
one union. When Iron and steel, coal
and coke are not enjoying ndrmal de
mand the East, South and West must
share in our misfortunes; and is it
not a fact that the disaster which
has overtaken the cotton of our South
ers States has helped to paralyze the
energies of the North.
"These, however, are minor conside
rations alongside the nation-wide
problem of a protective tariff which
preserves the opportunity for pros
perity for the whole country alike,
while the Democratic low tarlfr either
minimizes or destroys the opportunity.
Protection renders prosperity possible,
while we know of a bitter truth, en
countered more than once, that the
sort of tariff written by the Demo
cratic party makes prosperity impos
sible, even where the bounty of the
Almighty as expressed in extraordin
ary harvests is record-breaking.
"Mr. Penrose represents the protec
tive tariff principle, and therefore the
opportunity for prosperity, and I warn
you that without prosperity there is
not much use fussing about advance in
education, progress in the care of our
workingmen, enlightened adjustment
of the conduct of our hospitals and
charities, the good roads problem, or
any of these things, for if'there is no
prosperity there will be no funds; and
If our corporations and people are not
making money the State cannot keep
up its revenues.
Democrats and Prosperity
"Reform, progress, improvement
anil the instrumentalities for the beau
ties, comforts and uplifting Influences
of life are to be desired, and they will
some day come, but it isn't in the
wood for the Democrats to produce
the prosperity necessary to realize
them unless that party changes its
policies and revises its principles. So
that, having in mind the years of Boids
Penrose's public life, his remarkable
range of experience in legislation, his
fidelity to his State and its people, his
Republicanism, his high rank in the
United States Senate, and above all,
the position he will be in, if re-elected,
to aid in the restoration of that gen
eral prosperity which we all hope and
pray for, it becomes our duty in Penn
sylvania to follow the first law of na
ture, which is self-preservation, by re
turning him six more years.
"A few words now as to our State
government and the administration
about to terminate. We have nothing
to conceal, and there is nothing for
which we seek to apologize. The past
four years will compare favorably with
those of any other State, and with
any other four years in this State. The
records have the truth and the facts
are ascertainable of all men.
"There is not a department for
which I am responsible that I am not
prepared to defend, including the
Highway Department, the manage
ment of which will be justified by time
and the tests and developments of
time.
"I am glad to have been of a. long
and honored line of Pennsylvania's
Republican Governors, and I can look
every man in the face frankly and tell
him he is at liberty to measure the ad
ministration of which I have been the
chief, by its work and results."
Senator Penrose's Speech
Senator Penrose spoke for almost
forty-live minutes, but the audience
never diminished, in fact, when he
finished speaking there were more
people in the hall, in the gallery and
in the aisles than when he began.
The first part of his speech raked the
Democracy for its theorizing instead
of governing, and its pretenses. Its ig
norance and its war tax. The Senator
did not like the war tax and neither
did the audience.
But where the Senator caught the
crowd was when he drew the parallel
i between the depression in the Cleve
land administration and the present
bad state of affairs. Everyone appre
ciated what empty dinner pails and
smokeless chimneys mean, and every
one knew what happened when Mc-
Kinley was elected and the Republi
cans were returned to power. And
everyone knew what was going to re
sult from Republican victory this Fall.
Wt'.en he took up the Invasion by
the Colonel, the Senator found a very
appreciative audience. Theße are some
of the things he said:
"A notable statesman has come over
from New York and is telling us that
Pinchot Is all right on the tariff. He
never wrote a line In his life except
about trees, and he never came into
Pennsylvania except to fish for trout,
and yet we are told he knows all about
the tariff. Why, gentlemen, he knows
as much about the tariff as a bulldog
does about astronomy. What shall we
think of the certificate given to Mr.
Pinchot about his knowledge of the
tariff? He claims to be a Progressive.
Mr. Roosevelt was out in Pittsburgh
yesterday urging the voters to elect
Clyde Kelly, a Progressive member of
Congress in the old Dalzell district,
who Is running against a Republican,
a well-known man, Mr. Coleman.
Kelly voted for the Underwood tariff
bill. Does he represent the Ideas of
Roosevelt and Pinchot? If so, God
help the Commonwealth of Pennsyl
vania.
Pinchot and McCormiek
"Mr. Palmer has been traveling
along dead-head in the McCormiek
wagron. It is the case of Jonah and
the whale. They are getting ready to
throw Palmer overboard and the fight
now is for Pinchot and McCormiek.
"Mr. Roosevelt comes Into this State
and attacks the Republican party and
me individually, notwithstanding the
fact that I was his dearest friend for
fifteen years. What a change! I was
a rising statesman until two years
ago and now I am a political boss:
Are his hands clean? He comes into
this State to criticise the great Re
publican party, that had administered
the affairs of Pennsylvania for two
generations with the exception of only
two gubernatorial terms, In rank and
open association with a discredited
and corrupt political boss In Pitts
burgh, whom the Republican party
threw out ten years ago. Roosevelt
says: 'I am for Fllnn and Fllnn Is
for me'—a happy condition of reci
procity. This is proof positive to my
mind that Fllnn has opened up and is
probably paying for the train'that is
carrying Roosevelt through Pennsyl
vania to-day; Flinn, whom I helped
to cast out of the Republican party
on account of his arrogant and cor
rupt methods, who always has been
affiliated with corrupt and scandalous
contracts, and who now has contracts
over In New York dependent on the
favor of Tammany. He says that his
next step will be to become a Demo
crat, which he practically has become
because he has handed the Washing
ton party over to McCormiek. What
right has Mr. Roosevelt to criticise me
or any one else when at the same time
he is breathing the tainted environ
ment that comes from association
with Bill Fllnn, of Pittsburgh.
Challenges Itoosevelt
"Gentlemen, Mr. Richard Quay
stated the other day that he had some
correspondence with Mr. * Roosevelt,
and particularly from him, which Mr.
Rcfosevelt declined to let him publish.
Mr. Roosevelt always has boasted that
he was willing to have anything pub
lished that he has written, and I chal
lenge him here to-night to permit the
publication of his letter to Richard
R. Quay regarding Mr. Quay's protest
ugainst the immoral domination of
William Fllnn in the councils of the
Washington party. I have here in my
hand a postal card signed by Theo
dore Roosevelt from Oyster Bay. It
was received to-day and is dated Oc
tober 29. Evidently the delivery is
premature. Perhaps the date is just
as correct as the statement in it. It
simply asks the voters of Pennsylvania
to vote for Gifford Pinchot against
Boles Penrose. It says further that
'Penrose stands in public life for all
those evil forces against which every
clean and decent citizen should un
flinchingly fight.' I would like to ask
Mr. Roosevelt whether there should
not have been put on the face of this
postal card 'postage prepaid by Wil
liam FMnn.' "
Senator Penrose made scathing ref
erence to Vance C. McCormiek, the
candidate for Governor. He said:
"McCormiek, your fellow townsman,
Is going around branding Republicans,
and yet he never earned a dollar in
his life, but has only been spending
the millions he inherited "
"We know him!" yelled a man In
the rear of the hall.
"He is a young millionaire, a young
plutocrat, who never saw a wage
earner in close contact, unless It was
his valet, and who has absolutely no
knowledge of the striving and aspira
tions of the wage-earnerß here in tills
great industrial Commonwealth. He
has an idea that he can purchase the
election of Governor. He spent quite
a sum of his inherited millions on
the primary (I thought that thing had
been stopped by new legislation), and
now, according to campaign rumor,
he Is willing to Indulge In unlimited
expenditure to purchase the governor
ship. But this year the Republican
current is so strong that he may spent]
every penny he is worth and yet he
will never land within sight of the
executive chair."
Thomas S. Crago in his speech raked
the Democrats for their tariff and
war tax and said that he hoped that
the day would come when "Little,
mean men, men with only money and
Inherited wealth, will not dare to go
before the people for an office."
Mr. Crago said that the South was
in the saddle in Washington, but that
the Republicans would regain con
trol. The Republican party has lived
through many things, oftentimes its
ruin was predicted, but it survived as
it will survive 1912. This year it will
be victorious and will win again In
1916.
It was an enthusiastic rally from
start to finish. The cheering began
long before any of the speakers en
tered the hall. Somebody in the
crowded gallery proposed "three
cheers for Brumbaugh," and they
were given and repeated. Then from
another part of the gallery came a
call for cheers "for the whole Re
publican ticket,' and they were given
just as heartily.
As the speakers entered the hall
from the rear the audience stood and
let loose cheer after cheer. Senator
Penrose, when he arose to spesk, after
a brief introduction by Governor
Tener, was given an ovation that last
ed several minutes.
City Chairman Harry F. OveS called
the meeting to order and presented
Governor Tener, who got an enthusi
astic greeting at the handß of the
crowd. The Governor acted as presid
ing officer of the meeting and intro
duced the speakers, after a brief but
eloquent address.
Senator Penrose, who was the first
speaker, was never in happier mood
than last night. His words had a
•'punch' to them that showed verv
plainly that he has approaching the
end of the campaign begun to let him
self out.
He vigorously assailed those who
have attacked him and went after
Theodore Roosevelt in a manner that
caught the favor of the crowd anil

set It cheering time and again.
Senator Penrose said he desired to
remain in office "until the Republican
party is restored to power and the
dawn of another twenty years of pros
perity is ushered in"; then he would
bo content to retire In the belief that
he had done all that ought to be re
quired of any one man.
During the Senator's speech, and
particularly when he referred to the
necessity of restoring the protective
tariff, he was heartily cheered and
the applauso continued for nearly a
minute after he concluded.
While he was speaking a colored
delegation from Steelton, headed *by
a band, marched into the hall 200
strong and occupied seats reserved
for them.
Congressman Kreider was booked
for a speech but could not do more
than appear before the audience, as
he is suffering from a severe cold due
to too much speaking in the open
air. Mr. Kreider was preceded by
ex-Congressman Thomas S. Crago,
candidate for Congress-at-large, who
spoke in behalf of the Republican can
didates. Every time he mentioned Dr.
Brumbaugh's name there were pro
longed cheers.
The meeting was closed with ad
dresses by W. I. Swope, of Clearfield;
Joshua W. Swartz and Augustus
Wildman, candidates for the Legis
lature.
The rally was the largest Republi
can gathering in years. It was pre
ceded by a "walk-around," in which
the Harrisburg Republican Club, the
West End Club and a large corps of
citizens participated. After the meet
ing County Chairman Horner and City
Chairman Oves were heartily con
gratulated on the success of the
event.
