(Special to the Sia:-Independent.)
Xorrwtown. Oct. 27. —After a tour
through upper and central Montgomery
, ounty. Dr B umbaugh, Henry Houck
->n>i party held meeting in city Hall
—that is. a meeting was held in tli«i
main hail a-tui an overflow in ait adjoiu
ug room across she hall, about 2,500

at Pottstown. Koyersford. Collegevilie.

lat held. 1-ansdsle and North Wales,
where speeches were made aiul recep
tions were tendered, with fairly large
crowds at each place.
At last night's meeting Henry M.
Rronnback, Borough Solicitor, and long
time postmaster, presided at the main
nail and District Attorney Shreve at
the overflow.
Dr. Brumbaugh repeated his oft-made
assertion that there is no man behind
i'im; that he is a candidate, hand, i
ueart and soul free; that he would not :
>»y more to get the office of Governor
thin it is worth in dollars and cents, i
Not Satisfied With the Roads
In his speech here Dr. Brumbaugh I
said, in part:
"I am not satistied wit a the present
condition of the highways of Pennsyl
vania. and if I am elected Governor I
sba.l see to it that the Highway De
par tinea: is so reorganized and re
officered that only meu and procedure
shall be carried into that department j
«s to give to the people good, hones:
toads now and not twenty years from |
now after theoriiing about "it. These '
roads should be well built, and when put
in good condition should be kept so by
men chosen not because of their polit
. cal influence, but because of their abil
ity to keep a road in good condition,
iind every piece-of State road in this
Commonwealth ought to be daily in
spec ted and repaired and kept just as
it was the day it came from the hands
of the builders. In no other way cau
\ou have a satisfactory solution of
your road problem.
••I warn you that some people oper
ating over tiiis State under the guise of
»mdidates for office are simply seeking
to get hold of the patronage of the of
nce in order to build up a political ma
hine at enmity with the traditions o:
our people and against the best inter
est* of the people of Pennsylvania. I
do not care for the patronage, but.
aside from the honor aud the patron
;'ge, this one thing 1 do want to say to
vou:
"I want the office in order that 1
an serve the people of Pennsylvania
in mat oflice precisely the same way
that I have served them as a teacher
and superintendent of schools for
years in th.s Commonwealth. My »or«,
iu Pennsylvania must be for you aud
ior me the platform and the pledge
upon which 1 seek your support on the
3d ot November
"When you -go to vote, look uto the
records of your candidates. If you find
there a man whom you believe honestly
capable and trained to serve you well,
you vote for thai man. Put your con
licence into your ballot, so that the
righteous judgment of the people of
Pennsylvania snail be recorded in the
election of November -1, and when *
tnat is doue. gentlemen. 1 shall be en- '
tirely satisfied and happy with the re
sjrt.''
The Local Option Issue
He declared that the largest -ssue in
tr.e campaign is the conservation of
iiuuian life in Pennsylvania. # He de
clared for a tec all of a iot of iegis a
lion on the statute books: declared for :
a workiugirencompensation law, and
comprehensive child labor law.
"I favor the right of the people to
say county fo- county," he said,
••whether intoxicating IKjuors shall >e
sold iu that county.' He favored
woman suffrage and "good, honest
loads." and declared that, if elected,
tba- the Highway Department will give
aoncst service and that no man will
have a job therein because of his being
a hanger-on of a political camp.

"Do you know tshe reason." he
