Brumbaugh to day issued a strong declaration in favor of tho election of Republican congressional candidates, dealing especially with the need of a Repub lican majority at Washington. The Governor's statement is as follows: "The people of this coun- ' try .know full well that a Republican I Congress is as loyal as a Democratic Congress. The votes of the Republi can members of the present Congress easily support this statement. There is. therefore, no reason whatever for a Republican community to support a Democratic candidate as war duty. The only exception to this is the rare community where a Republican or Democratic member has been notori ously pro-German. Such are not fit for support by any constituency. "There is, however, an economic reason for a Republican majority In Senate and House. The war with guns will be followed by a war with com modities. We shall find ourselves suddenly thrown from an exclusive market into a competitive market. We are building rapidly the greatest merchant marine in the world. We must,have markets round the world .for the products of our mills and fac tories. OOur home markets must be made attractive to our home workers and our home capital. We shall need as never before a most effective and rational protective tariff. In no other way can we safeguard American labor and capital. In no other way can we avert economic disaster. Hence it is to the interests of the Nation If it is to maintain in the war of Indus try the prestige it wins in the war of bullets to have a Congress under Republican control."
