GOD GOVERNMENT FORCE
RALLY TO GIFFORD PINCHOT
Washington Party Man Picked As Candidate to Defeat Pen-
rose. His Stfength Growing Daily. Palmer Asked To
Withdraw
@ifford Pinchot stands out today as the strongest candidate for the
United States Senate in this State.
He has received a series of the most sweeping endorsements ever
accorded a candidate in the history of Pennsylvania.
: It was in. September that the good government forces of the State,
in open convention at Harrisburg, overwhelmingly endorsed Pinchot for
United States Senator, as one man who will beat Penrose, and called on
A. Mitchell Palmer, the Democratic candidate, to withdraw.
Since then the Pittsburgh Confer-
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in session at Rochester and
representing 90,000 laymen, has over
whelmingly given its assent to this
endorsement. The Philadelphia Meth-
odist Preachers’ Meeting, ‘represent-
mg 83,000 laymen, also endorsed this
action. The Anti-Saloon League of
Cambria county, allied with other
good government forces there, has an-
nounced its intention of working for
Pinchot. At Scranton, 2,000 delegates
to the Sabbath School Convention,
cheered Pinchot and hailed him as the
“next United States Senator from
Pennsylvania.”
United Brethren for Him.
The eastern Pennsylvania Confer-
ence of the United Brethren Church
in session at Philadelphia, went on
record with the Harrisburg Confer-
ence in favor of Pinchot.
Republicans and Democrats of na-
tion-wide prominence have given
their testimony. to the value of Pin-
chot and called on the people of
Pennsylvania to elect him to the
United States Senate. Ben B. Lind-
say, of Colorado is one of these.
Henry L. Stinson, Secretary of War
under President Taft and a leading
Republican, endorses Pinchot. Her-
bert Quick, a Wilson Democrat, de-
clares that he is heartily for Pinchot in spite of the fact that Palmer is a
candidate. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, a nation-wide figure in the fight for good
food, who is also a leading Democrat, announces that the best thing that
could happen to Pennsylvania would be to have Mr. Pinchot elected.
Charles S. Barrett, president of the Farmers’ Union, an organization of
2,000,000 farmers, declares that he comes from a family that is identified
with the Democratic party. “But I hold that parties are subordinate to the
public good,” he says, and wants to see Pinchot elected.
J. T. Rothrock, for years the head of the Forestry Department of
Pennsylvania, endorses Pinchot. Herbert Parsons, a leading Republican,
openly declares that he wants to see Penrose defeated and Pinchot elected.
.Decent Voters for Pinchot.
Practically every force for good government in this State, leading men
of all parties, and temperance and moral associations, have gone on record
as being in favor of Pinchot.
On the other hand, Penrose is shunned by the leaders of his party. Not
a man of national prominence will come into Pennsylvania to speak for him.
He is regarded as a dead-weight on the Republican party and the party
leaders themselves headed by the New York Tribune, the historic mouth-
piece of the Republican party, have appealed to the Republican voters of

A. Mitchell Palmer cannot hold a full Democratic vote of this State.
The Democratic Old Guard leaders of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are
openly declaring that they will not vote for him. The candidate for governor,
recently defeated at the Democratic primaries, refused to attend a harmony

other Old Guard leaders also refused to attend the dinner. In Scranton,
Philadelphia, the central counties, Pittsburgh and in fact throughout the
States, the Democratic Old Guard is lining its forces up against Palmer and

Palmer Can’t Rally Party. :
With a shattered party behind him, Palmer is leading only a forlcrn hope.
The liquor interests, the special privilege crowd and a few misguided

On the other hand; the good government forces of the State, comprised
| of men of all parties, the decent Republicans who refuse to elect Penrose
and want an honest protective man at Washington, the patriotic Democrats,
| who are anxious first of all for the elimination of Penrose, are rallying to
| Pinchot.
! The last two weeks has seen a splendid crystalization of sentiment in
his favor.
With Pinchot in the lead and his strength increasing daily, the decent
| voters of Pennsylvania may rest assured that this State will be redeemed
| from the stigma of Penroseism and that we will be fittingly represented at
| Washington by a man of splendid constructive record, whose ability is
| known and appreciated by every patriotic citizen in the country.

Philadelphia, Pa.,
The day after the defeat of J. Lee
Plummer for State Treasurer, the
New Era, as Republican newspaper of
Lancaster, in an editorial, denounced
the leadership of Penrose and declar-
ed that:
«The interests of the State and
Nation are too great to have them
imperiled by continuing in control
men who have so completely lost pub-
lic confidence.”
The editorial from the New Era is
as follows:
“While the New Era loyally sup-
ported the Republican candidate for
State Treasurer, and has the satisfac-
tion of seeing the ticket given local
endorsement by the largest majority
given by any county in the State,
with one exception, it has not been
plind to the evidence of discontent
apparent on every hand or the weak-
ness of its candidate.
“He was placed upon the ticket not
because of any inherent merits or
party services, but merely at the per-
sonal dictation of Senator Penrose,
who announces himself as the Re-
publican State leader, as the succes-
sor of the late Senator Quay. The
contrast . between the ability and
methods of the late leader and his
presumptuous successor has been
commented upon by thousands in the
late campaign.
“Senator Quay was too farsighted to
adopt the high-handed methods of
the Philadelphia freebooters which
have just led to their downfall.
“He recognized the power of the
people and appreciated the fact that
political power and the best thought
rested with the people of the rural
sections.
“Senator Penrose and his Phila-
delphia associates seemed unable to
see beyond the confines of Philadel
phia, and imagined that they were
the proprietors in fee simple of the
party and its perquisites. Now that
the people of that bailiwick have
repudiated them in such a spontane-
ous manner, their future political des-
tiny should be plainly apparent.
“It will be time enough within the
next few days, when the smoke of
the battle has lifted and the extent
of the party disaster is made clearly
apparent to consider the steps neces-
sary to restore the Republican party
to its former strength and majesty.
“The interests of the State and Na-
tion are too great to have them im-
periled by continuing in control men
who have so completely lost the pub-
lic confidence so essential to victory.
“What is needed is a leader who
will command the confidence of the
people and whose strength will be
based on ability and true worth, not
on the miserable traffic in offices.
“The time is ripe for the man. Cer-
tainly Pennsylvania can produce him
from among her brilliant sons.
