GOVERNOR TELLS
WHY HE BACKS COX
Makes Statement on What the
Contest Over the Speakership
Means to Him
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh In
a statement issued last night declared
that he Is supporting Representative
Edwin R. Cox for the speakership be
cause he stands for the things which
the Governor secured for the people of
the state and will work with him to
prevent reactionary tampering with
humane legislation.
The Governor's statement, the long
est he has ever issued, is addressed to
the people of Pennsylvania and In the
course of it the Governor takes occa
sion to chastise those who have been
saying he is trying to injure the indus
tries of the Keystone State or to push

through what he terms "foolish legla
latlon."
Tho Governor says:
"You selected me to administer the
duties of Governor and to you and
I you only am I responsible for my pub
|He service. I have no boss and take
jno orders. In this respect, at least,
1 am wholly free to give you the situ
: ation now facing you in tho organlza
! tion of your approaching assembly. I
have always been a regular Republi
can, consistently laboring within the
party for the purpose of making the
party an agency of unselfish service
to the people. In no way am I en
gaged in any factional struggle for
any personal advantage. 1 am
struggling to make the Republican
party in my home State white and
clean—an agency of good to our peo
ple, not a machine to give mean men
prestige and banal influences and sel
fish interests legislative advantage as
| against the whole citizenship of tho
State.
j "When I .took office, I pledged my
; self to unrelenting warfare against
the enemies of the people and in de
: fenso of their sacred rights. I shall
; always be found loyal to that pledge.
| "It has been said by the slimy
| tongues of slander that I am favoring
I a lot of foolish legislation and that I
MamrzmzZ
am for Mr. Cox becauso he would help
me in such a purpose. It has even
gono to the point of whispering to
s businessmen that I want a law to
compensate men for idleness and an
-11 other for ill-health and other mat
"; ters of like ilk. I never heard of such
! | things. The whole story is a lie out
• | of the whole cloth and is cited only
■| because it Is typical of the desperation
■ j of sordid interests who would go to
' ; the limit of ruination where (hey
• j know full well they cannot rule. They
5 are my enemies because 1 am a friend
> of fair play and open justice. I never
J have, nor would I at any time hamper
■ or hinder the development of our
" I great Industries. The administration
''will steadily conserve and encourage
> j our Industrial activities and guarantee
Ij to them no treatment that is not
-1 absolutely fair and helpful.
i, "Mr. Haldwln waa not acceptable to
■j me In 1915 as a candidate and my
i reasons were then given to some of
3 the men now backing his candidacy.
!I challenge them to tell the whole
-1 truth about the contest of 1915. His
t record in the recent session is known
-1 to all. It was directly at variance
II with the humane laws and social jus
tice legislation tj an enacted. T should
M be false to myself, to you, did I not
r J again oppose his selection. Mr. Cox,
[I on the contrary, actively supported

these I am for Mr. Cox solely
i because he has made good before the
people and in behalf of the people.
' The contest Is one of fundamental
principles. I Shall never be a party
to a reactionary, selfish and unfair
treatment of the people.
"The leadership which Is now
sponsor for the Baldwin candidacy is
the agency through which the inter
-1 ests inimical to you, the people of
Pennsylvania, hope once more to gain
a throttling hold upon your State. It
Is the leadership which has twice
driven the Republican party In the
' nation upon the rocks of defeat. I
' am opposed to that leadership. For
your good it should and must be de
i stroyed, and with your help I intend
■ to devote myself during the remainder
of my term to the task of rendering
that leadership impotent to further
1 harm you and your Interests.
"There yet remain two full years of
my term in office and 1 mean to see
to it that in all that time only fair
• and decent and just things shall have
i sympathy and support. I shall not
allow the power of my administration
! to lose its efficacy l'or the people. I
shall use it solely but fully to help
1 them rid themselves of false leaders,
: and to drive from the control of the
, Republican party any and all those
I who barter its honored name for their
selfish good or who under the guise
of leaders are really harpies preying
upon the people and giving full sup
port ot. special interests and against
the common good.
"We have made a commendable be
ginning in fair and Just government.
We fear no slanderous or sordid
schemers. We are for the people and
for the welfare of the State. I have
no defense, no apology, to offer. It is
enough to say that if once you know
the facts you will do the right things
and uphold those who in serving you
have met the hatred of those whom I
never found to be unfettered and free.
This is a contest for decency, for pro
gress, for right. It is against those
who would either rule or ruin. Let
us unite to save the party from the
pirates and the State for the people."
