(Special to the Star-Independent.) |
Johnstown, Pa., Oct. 12.—Dr. Martini

"In presenting to you the issues of

first of all to make perfectly plain to
you that 1 am not a seeker of office in
the ordinary sense of that term. I do
not crave the honor of the position,

His Work in the Schools
''For a generation I have wrought
in t.hc schools of this ■Commonwealth
as teacher and superintendent, as col
lege president and university professor,
as lecturer and author, as a member of
the State Board of due at ion and tihe j
College and University Council. It has.
been my rare privilege to 'teach the
w'hole education'aji problem in this Com
mon wealth in a practical way, and I
should like to have an opportunity to
put that experience into a practical and
enlarged educational opportunity for
the children of this Commonwealth.
"Were in .lohnStown, as mudi as any
where in the Commonwealth, you have
endeavored to fit your school system to j
the needs of your industrial 'community, j
You have done well, and your schools],
rank among the finest in t'he State. Good
as 'they are, I believe tihat in a cer
tain particular I can help to makej
them better by placing an increased em-1
phasis upon T.hc practical aspects of your j
school trainiug in order to train still
more skillfully the young people of tihei
community in an increased vocational j
efficiency.
'' Also, I am convinced that the pub- '
lie school buildings in our cities as well i
as in our riiTal 'communities should he
open day and night for every legitimate
use of the people of the community.
Here the people should gaifher to dis
cuss important questions, to hear good (
lectures, good music recitals and all
other forms of entertainment that will
add to the intelligence and the social
uplift of the community. Our school
plan and our superb teaching force con
stitute an assert of tremendous impor
tance to the uplift of our whole people.
"Here also the school system could
so inter-Telate itself with your great in
dustries 'that the transition from school j,
life to toil could be made gradually and
not abruptly as now. Here, under con
ditions that are ideal, could be develop
ed a great, system of continuation
schools, open to the young people who
have already gone to work and to whlieh
for part of their working days 'thev j
could return for increased intellectual i
guidance and discipline.

mitted, and to it I Shall devote all my
energies. I submit that no party any
where in the country can offer with tihe
assurance of its successful accomplish
ment. a more progressive platform of I
remedial legislation than this.
"I also wish to have it understood j
that 1 believe it is right hhat the next
Legislature sihould pass a resolution sub
mitting to the people t'he question of
w'hether or not women should vote in

HARRISBUgG STAR-INDEPENDENT, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, 1914.
'For all these things w'hirfi I have sub
mitted in my primary platform I still
staud and shall stand to the end be
cause I believe t'hat the people of this
State are with me in the judgment that
the day lias come when the conservation
of the human life in this State is the
prime obligation which its officials j
should, consider.
'' Surely Cam'bria county needs better |
roads than it has. Its growing popula- j
I tdom, its multiplying industries, its con- 1
j stant need of transportation are un
questionably evidences that everywhere
throughout the county, as well as in the
State at large, that t'here should lie well-!
built, wisely-maintained highways,
which, first of all, should be so con- ,
strutted as to make it easy for the pro- .
ducts of the farm to be 'brought to the
markets and 'market stations of the
■world, and that in the second place
I should facilitate the quick transit of ,
I our people from one point to another in •
| the dispatc'h of their daily duties.
Favors a Civil Service
"I am absolutely in favor of this ,
! and shall insist that the coming Legis- ,
! lature shall make large appropriations .]
I —as large as the resources otLthe Com- .
I monwealth permit—for the baiWing of ]
i good, honest roads in (Pennsylvania.
I Money so used must bring back to the
j 'people dollar for dollar in roads what !
jwe invest in taxes; and these roads must t
be supervised w'hen constructed and
kept, daily in good repair bv men who
know how, and not merely by men who,
by reason of the accident of politics,
would seek to live upon the public
treasury without rendering an adequate
service for the money they receive. ,
"I should favor indeed a wise State
civil service which would include in its
provisions these officers who would have
charge of 'the highways of Pennsylva
nia. for tihe highways are not political I
entities—t'hey are economic necessi- I
ties.''
THREE CANDIDATES HEARD
IN FIFTH STREET CHURCH
Dr. Brumbaugh Preaches Sermon to the
Rev. Mr. Hart's Congregation—
McCormick and Pinchot Discuss the
Local Option Issue
Speeches by three candidates for
( high offices, Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh,
Republical nominee for Governor;
Vance C. McCormick, Democratic nomi
nee for Governor, and Gifford Pinchot.
Washington party nominee for United
1 States Senator, were delivered yester
[ day at the rally of the Fifth Street
1 Methodist church, of which the Rev. B.
H. Hart is pastor. Dr. Hart had adver
tised the appearance of the candidates,
who spoke at different meetings, his
announcement being that they would
speak on "the moral issues of the cam
paign."
Dr. Brum'baugh did not refer to the
i campaign at. all. but preached a ser
mon at the morning service. At the
afternoon meeting, when Mr. McCor
mick spoke, and at the night service, at
which Mr. Pinchot made an address,
the subject assigned by the pastor was
followed, although neither touched on
partisan politics. The Democratic and
Progressive candidates dwelt upon good
citizenship and laid stress on the local
option issue.
The minister in introducing Dr.
Brumbaugh referred to his former ac
quaintance with him at Huntingdon,
and said: '"Hie will some day he Presi
dent of the United States."
Dr. Brumbaugh preached from the
text, Matthew VII, -7-29:
"And it came to pas's, when Jesus
had ended these sayings, the people
were astonished at his doctrine, for he
taught as one having authority, and
| not as the scribes."
He compared the Greek philosophy
and the Roman influence with the
teachings of Christ in the -Sermon on
the Mount, which appealed not to the
reason alone, or to the feelings, but to
the will power of humanity. Dr. Brum
baugh declared that life is measured by
deeds and that no man can be a Chris
tion by subscribing alone to dogmas of
faith, but only by doing as he is taught
by the sayings of Christ.
"The doctrine of service," he said,
"was the fundamental principle of
Christ's life and teachings."
Knumerating the foundations upon
which the power of Christ rests, he re
viewed His power of purpose, prepara
tion, presentation and personality, and
drew lessons from each of these four
sources as illustrations of the possibili
ties of the Christian life in men.
-Mr. McCormick, during his talk on
local option, painted a word picture
of two |>arades in a street, to illustrate
the stand a good citizen should take on
the moral issues involved in the cam
paign. Both parades, he said, wore pre
ceded by banners, bearing the inscrip
tion, "local option.'' Behind the one
banner marched men in whose party
platform was no line relating to local
option, the saloonkeepers, ibrcwers and
distillers. Behind the other were anti
saloon men, the church members of the
forces that have been fighting the liq
uor interests.
Mr, Pinrhot at the night service said
that the Christian -people are a unit
in their attitude on the drink habit
and that it would be eliminated in
Pennsylvania within a few years.
"The church of Christ," he said,
"needs now the spirit of our Master
when He took the scourgo and drove
the money-changers fiom the Temple."
