BRUMBAUGH’S GREAT ADDRESS

PENNSYLVANIA STATESMAN MAKES CLEAR REPUBLICAN . POLITICAL ISSUES. No political address ever delivered in this city was more uniformly favorably commended and appreciated than that of Ex-Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania, delivered at ? the New Ellis Theatre Monday evening. A capacity house was present and the attention given the Pennsylvania statesman was very marked. Govemo? Brumbaugh is a man of wide experience, a cultured gentleman and a statesman of high rank. He was for many years a leading educator of this nation and has made addresses at national and state educational meetings. He appeared some years ago before the teachers of this state and made a most favorable impression. He is intimately acquainted with President Woodrow 'Wilson, who also is a former educator. . He said that the president had many admirable qualifications, but that he was seriously handicapped on account of his UnAmerican ideas and his egotism, both of which tendencies have been prominent and hurtful in his administration as president, His address followed along the lines of that made by Herbert Hoover at Indianapolis last Saturday. He criticised the awful waste of the people’s money and the failure after the war to reduce governmental expenses. He 'placed the blame for the failure of the ratification of the Versaples treaty upon the shoulders of President Woodrow Wilson, where it rightly belongs. He gave instances where millions of dollars had been expended with-: out one cent’s worth of value be- , ing received by the people. It is becoming more evident every, day and such statesmen as Brumbaugh and Hoover make the point clear that the Democrats are sim- j ply throwing sand in the eyes of the , people with the League of Nations dope so that they may blind them ! that they may not see the real issue, which is the utter failure of 1 the present'administration and its incapacity to give relitef at this time which grows more critical every moment.
