"NEVER MADE A PROMISE THAT WAS NOT FULFILLED" Emerged From Trying Term of Office With Echoing Plaudits of a City. There was no more aggressive sup porter of the fusion state tic ket and the City Party movement in Philadelphia last fall tbau the Philadelphia "Even ing Bulletin." Its editor-in-chief, William Perrine, author of the famous 'Penn" comments upon men and meas ures in tha*. independent journal, gave this word picture of the Republican nominee I'm governor in nis character istic. frank and manly manner, shortlv after the selection of the Republican et&nuard-bearer: At the close of the gubernatorial campaign four years ago it was ob served that the Republican candidate came out of it without having been compelled even once to defend his per sonal character. Amidst all the gibes that were cast at Judge Penny packer and all the controversies over his po litical status, his record as a man was proof against reproach. It is alto gether certain that his successor as a gubernatorial candidate will repeat this experience in the coming campaign. For the life of Edwin S. Stuart in Philadelphia from his boyhood has been so clear, clean, simple and open that it would be hard even for the adroitest of slanderers to fasten upon him the suspicion of an illicit or dis reputable act. In his early manhood he framed for himself a code of up right and honorable dealing in his business ambitions and in his daily relations to men; lie had a sterling reputation for his squareness and sin cerity among those who knew him when he was only in his teens, and in the course of the more than .'lO years of his comings and goings among the peo ple, and largely in public life, none has been able to note in him any essential deviation from the principles and the habits which marked him in the hum ble beginnings of his career. The Man In the Making. "When as a lad he had hardly ceased doing chores in the old Leary book store at Fifth and Walnut streets, he was almost as big and strapping a fel low physically as he is now. At 17 or 18 he had the frame and girth of a six-footer, the level-headed sense of judgment of a veteran in the book business when he would goto Thomas' auction rooms on Fourth street, for example, to do the buying for his house, and an unusual facility, for a youth, of knowing how to hold his tongue and yet winning friends with perfect ease. It is sometimes the habit of ("hose who critici e him to call him 'over-discreet' or 'too non-committal.' But this sort of prudence is not a merely political trait or the result of political life. Caution is an instinct with him; it was natural to him when he was earning his s:{ or $1 a week and carrying his coffee every morning from his downtown home to warm it up in the middle of the day at the Fallon shoe store, and when at night time the row of tall boards which encased the cheap stalls on the outside walls were fastened together, young Stuart was as careful to see that they were made quite as secure in protec ting the 5 and 10-cent Stock as he was that the rarest editions on the inside should be safe guarded from theft or fire. And yet with all his circumspection In speech there wasn't a more cheerful or more sunny-faced lad in the neighborhood. He worked all day long anil frequently well Into the night as if he never knew what it was to be tired, ■ id although he was singularly free of the loose or hurtful habits which most lads contract In the growing age. no one thought of associating him with the idea of i milksop or a pretender. To everybody about Fifth and Walnut streets he was 'Ed.' Ned' or 'Eddie,' and even then there was a sort of intuition among the denizens of the corner that he had the making of a somebody in him. "Mr. Stuart was at one time, when still young, a Sunday school teacher. Some years ago he told me how amused and pleased he was one day in finding among the books which came to his store on Ninth street a copy of a little Testament which contained the inscription tliat he had written on its fly-leaf in the early '7o's when he pre sented it to one of hi. |. ; :ils. In his relations to his mother, who was of sturdy, religious stock, lie was a sig nal example of the loyalty ami urati tutfp of the sc»n who honors the c-hi 112 author of fiis hi'ing; he lived as much for her as for himself; the pride which she might find in his ambitions was not the least of his motives in court ing public advancement, and when he had almost reached the mayoralty of his native city, the sorest blow of hi" life was that death should rob him nf her in their little home on Tenth stre'-t. and that he should be cut off. on tha eve of his triumph, from sharii!'; '? with her. Stuart had little except what he pot in the Southwest Grammar school, ami the education which he gave hinis If was largely tha result of what he read at Learv's in epare moments, or in his winter even ing hours at home. But he was etn phatic ally a specimen of what we sometimes call 'good mothers' sons.' and the moral stamina and Scotch- Irish sense in the man came to him through her, in a domestic atmosphere of frugality, thrift and those simple virtues that are chastened by patient toil in the face of suffering or sorrow. A Character That Told. "It is to the character which was thus formed in Stuart that the offices Hid the honor which have been Kiver him in I'l.i d-iphia are primarily due i!K minimal ion for governor of Penn sylvania. ii' his election to the presi dency of tii Young Republicans when a quarter of a century ago it became a stepping-stone of his career, his elec tion to sell c t council, his election tc tlie mayoralty, his election to the presi dency of the t'nion League, his ap pointment t the board of city trusts and lib a| (ointment, which he de < lined c»me month; ago. to there const i en t< d I id of education, not tc •■a 'I c.i fli- ,11offei-> which have been made to him at various times of othei olti' es. liave alino-.t invariably beer tne outcome ot respect ior, or conn dence in, his c haracter. That the favor able impression which a man of his unusually large and forceful physique makes upon the public mind enters tc some extent into this disposition tc recognize Inm is not to be doubted, foi Stuart has an external appearance which ambitious men may envy. But this is a comparative trifle when com pared with that sort of Impression which is made year in and year out, in little tilings as well as in big things by steadiness, and dig nity yet simplicity of conduct, and im munity from scandal, and square deal ing, and charity of thought, and truth fulness of speech. Thus there is not « division nf the humblest citizens of th« 26th ward in which the name of Edwic S. Stuart is not trusted today as * household word, and often it has beer known to be commended by working men as a model to their boys; on thf other hand, there is not a member ol the Union League who feels that it! honor before the nation will ever b« tarnished by any act of his while he i! in its presidency. Nor is there any sem blance of moral ostentation in his char acter. none of that affectation or self consciousness or preachiness which sometimes imparts a smugness or dis agreeable stiffness to the intrinsic quality of a good man. The instinct o! rational fellowship in him is strong; no other public* man in Philadelphil probably has more friends or acquaint ances to salute him when ho comei down Chestnut street, and in his inter course there is that abundance of heart iness which comes from seemingly perfect health, a kindly disposition and the frankness of a clean nature There is no discrimination in his con duct, whether he meets a millionaire or a coal heaver, and there Is no trace of a sign in his manner or his manners that the recognition which has come to him in securing some of the most coveted prizes of ambition has spoiled him in the sense of making him for getful of his struggling days or of turn ing his head, in fact, it would be hard to find among the noted characters ol Philadelphia a man less suggestive ol anything like vanity or self-approba tion. Temperate in Word and Deed. "The chief weaknesses attributed to Stuart arc want of positiveness, slow ness in reaching conclusions, and ex cess of amiability. They are the same weaknesses that McKinley's critics passed upon him up to the time hs went into the presidency, and the Stu art temperament is undoubtedly 8 kindred one to the 'McKinley tempera ment' in both its personal and politi cal aspect. In all his career in Phila delphia 1 do not recall that he evel felt himself publicly moved to abust a man or to speak harshly of one however much he might condemn s vice or a wrong, and in his private conversation there is the same absti nence from merely personal reproba Uon. He is a believer in the wisdoa of the motto that haste makes waste but if he is slow to reach his con elusions he sticks to them when he gets there. From his point of view a man in otiice is not so much the leader of the people as he is the instrument ol the people, and it is less his bust ness to form public opinion than tc obey public opinion. The real test ol the usefulness of a public man con sists in the substantial and lasting betterment which he produces for his community, and yet there are in Phil adelphia some tuen who with notabl# reptuations for being 'positive' could not stand that test and whose vigor of affirmation is sometimes hardly more than a windy, worthless ver bositv. An Eventful Term. "Thus Stuart, when he became mayor of Philadelphia, made few promises, and. such as they were they were simply and carefully ex pressed. But the city and its material Improvements advanced during the four years of his term; the average of the personnel of his administration in point of character and efficiency was creditable, and no responsible op ponent, however bitter, ventured tc advance even a suspicion dishonorable to Its head. At all times he was ac feasible to all citizens, and none whose complaint might be worth making ever suggested that he did not have an op portunit> for fair play and courteous hearing. Tne mayor, it is true, was always Muctant to make a promlsa, but v.'han one was made It was kept. Politically the Combine of Martin and Porter flourished during his term, but there was comparative peace in the politics of Philadelphia. Stuart made the effort, but failed in it, of taking the police out of politics. Indeed, at the start it looked as If his administration might be a wreck. Mis first director of public safety was proved to have been a thief, but the mayor promptly got rid of him. Tho city treasury had been robbed right and left by Bardsley, but the mayor lost no time in getting his experts into the office and putting Bardsley under arrest. The Queen Lane reser voir was charged with being Infected by the rankest jobbery, but the chief *< cuser broke down in a court of Jus- Vice and an equity suit was dismissed from consideration by the Judges. When the first loulevard or'parkway bill passed councils, largely at the in stance of the Pennsylvania railroad, Stuart vetoed it, but he took the ground substantially that It wai doubt ful whether the city could afford ft, and that the majority of the people, as- was then true, were probably op posed to it. This subjected him to criticism as a inan who was not bold and progressive enough to lead In the making of a great municipal improve ment. and the same kind of criticism was directed against him with much vigor by the Traction company or its spokesmen when he halted the origi nay trollej I,' Is although there was no doubt that the majority of the pea pie we: a al st th"in also.

Stuart, Republican Nom inee For Governor, Quickly Dis posed ot a Democratic "Issue." ISpet ial Correspondence. ] Harrisburg, October 'J. Since the visit of President Roose velt aud l>is magnificent tribute to tli ■ Pennsylvania legislature and his most complimentaiy allusions to the beauti ful state capitol, Republicans here ajouts have been in excellent spirits. The president certainly gave high praise to the work of the Republican majority in the senate and house for the legislation passed at the recent ex tra session of the general assembly, which was Called at the instance of a Republican governor, and of which President Roosevelt said: ! "It is surely not too much to say that this body of substantive legis tion rrarks an epoch in the history of the practical betterment of political conditions, not merely for your state, but for all cur states. I do not recall any other state legislature which, in a similar lenqth of time, has to its credit such a body of admirable legis lation." In leading up to this commendatory reference to the legislation enacted by Pennsylvania law-makers the president in referring in detail to the laws pass ed at that extra session said: "I most heartily congratulate the people of the state of Pennsylvania upon what its government has accom plished during this present year. It is a remarkable record of achieve ment. "Through your legislature you have ; abolished passes; you have placed the offices of the secretary of the com j inonwealth ;snd the insurance commis : sioner upon an honorable and honest basis of salary only by abolishing the j fee system; you have passed a law j compelling the officers and employes of great cities to attend to the duties foi | which they are paid by all the taxpay- I ers. and to refrain from using the j power conferred by their oflices to in fluence political campaigns; you have prohibit vi the solicitation or receiv in* political assessments by city em ployes: you have by law protected the state treasury from depredation and conserved the public moneys for use ffuence political campaigns; you hava by a law for the protection of the elec tive franchise made tampering with the ballot boxes and the casting of il legal votes so difficult as in all prob ability to be unprofitable; you have provided a primary election law which guarantees 10 the voters free expres sion in the selection of candidates for ofrice; you have by law regulated and improved the civil service systems of your greatest cities: and.finally, you have passed a law containing a pro vision which I most earnestly hope will in substance be embodied like wise in a law by the congress at the coming session—a provision prohibiting the officers of any corporation from making a contribution of the money of that corporation to an> candi lat> or any political << mmittee for the pay nient of any election expenses what ever" President Praises Capitol. Possibly the president's reference tr the new state capitol has been the sub ject of greatest gratification here. "Governor." said President Rocse | velt. in ad Iressing Governor Penny ! packer, "this is the finest state capitol I ever saw." Looking In admiration upon the splendid structure, examining in detail its magnifiient furnishings, praising it* architectural beauty, and its grand pro portions, the president was most en thusiastic in his comments. Every one who has seen the new capitol cannot bi!t speak in the high est terms of piaise of the character ot the workmanship and the materials employed in its construction. ft is a source of satisfaction to the taxpayers of the state to know that every dollar expended upon the build inn and its furnishings was collected in taxes levied upon corporations. Not a penny was contributed from any other method of taxation. Attempts are being made to manufac ture campaign material for the Emery Democratic state campaign by insinu- I atlons that there has been extrava gence in the furnishing of the building j but every citizen of Pennsylvania has I been assured that this matter will be I thoroughly investigated and every item | examined into. Stuart Meets "An Issue." | PMu-in S. Stuart the R. unlilii an nomineee for governor, was the first to meet this issue. He had no hand in the work of erecting or furnishing the building, but he has made quite clear the course he will pursue when he shall be elected governor. Upon this subject Mr. Stuart has made this prepared statement: "It has been said that we have con structed the finest capitol in the coun try. "In alluding to this, however, I do not »vish, nor do I propose, to be mis understood. "Whether the capitol Is enti led 4 o the hijAh praise which has bean accord ed to it or not. if, in its construction i>- furnishing, there has been any fraud i i . xtravagance which t<» my i::i i<l i almost quivalent of fraud - surely there is no man who will not agree with me that those who have ! iiticipated in or profited by such 1':a:;d should i>" met with prompt pun i 112 at ;it. and also l<e compelled to inaka lesiii ut ion. "If elected governor, I promise you, fully realizing the responsi bility resting upon me, that I will j tee that a thorough investigation £:. all be made of the entire ques tion, and if such investigation dis closes that any man or set of men have bee.-: guilty of wrong-doing in the abuse of their trust, or guil ty of frc.yJ or illegal profit in the fui.iisnmg of supplies, they shall meet with the punishment they surely, under such circumstances, would justly deserve. "If. as I am infoimed, the money ■pent in furnishing the capitol was without specific itemized appropriation first having been made for the pur pose, I would recommend to the legis lature that in the future it shall be made unlawful to expend any such large amount of money without first having a specific appropriation made, based upon an approximate estimate of the cost. "Any other course is in opposition to correct business principles and con trary to the safe, economic policy that should govern all expenditures of the people's money." It Is a Noble Building. Robert S. Murphy, the Republican nominee for lieutenant ivernor, in commenting upon this "issue,' s~iJ: "The new state capitol is one of the noblest buildings to be found with in the limits of the country. "There is not a man or citizen of Pennsylvania that can view that mag nificent structure without a sense of pride, without a feeling of thankful ness that he Is a citizen of Pennsyl vania. and that this great state, with its population of seven million people, with its great wealth and material ru sources. with its reputation abroad as not only the keystone of Republican ism, b t the keystone of the republic, is entitled to a building of that char acter." In referring to the itemized state ment of the expenditures in furnishing the new capitol, made by Governor Penny packer and Auditor General Snyder, Mr. Murphy said: "No man has ever heard the honesty or the integrity of a member of the board ever questioned, publicly or pri vately. I submit that before you de cide this case in your own mind you must hear the testimony and you must analyze it, and 1 desire to say here that they themselves have furnish?d the testimony, upon which they are willing to stand or fall. The p.iblic statement of Samuel \V. ivmypjuker, under his own hand and .-»■ il. indicates precisely how that large su a ol money has been expended, and it has been spent in equipping and turnishing that great capitol, in ornamenting it, in decorating it.and completing it, and 1 ain not willing to take the uncorrob orated testimony of our opponents that there has b n any wrongdoing upon the part of the officials vested with the power of completing that work. "Hut I say to you that I here express mys< Is in complete accord with my collea ue upon the ticket and that if there is any man or set of men who have ihr< igh r ui.-piracy or fraud rob bed the treasury of the common wealth o.
