THE COUNTY CHAIRMEN REPORT Predictions That the Majority Will Be the Largest Ever Given in an "Off Year" Campaign. [Special Correspondence.] Harrisburg, July 18. A canvass of the state has Jii3t been completed through the chairmen of the Itepublican county committees, and it shows a very gratifying condition of affairs from a Republican standpoint. The party is united and harmonious, and there is a splendid feeling mani fested among the rank and tile of the organization. That Pennsylvania will make a very creditable showing at the coming election is apparent from re ports that come from the several coun ties. In order that at the very outset of the canvass there might be defiuite data on hand regarding the feeling In tlio different sections of the state, Chairman Wesley R. Andrews, of the Republican state committee, sent to each of £he county chairmen a letter soliciting detailed information as to conditions and sentiment in their re spective localities. In this letter Chairman Andrews said that he fully realized that the phenorn inal Republican majority polled in Pennsylvania last fall was largely due to the great issues then pending be fore the American people and the fact that both national and state candidates were running. A Letter of Inquiry. Continuing, Chairman Andrews said: "There being no national or con gressional ticket in the field this year, it can scarcely be expected that the majority will be as large as last; nevertheless it is exceed ingly desirable that the full vote be gotten out, particularly in view of the fact that a noticeable de crease In the majority would in vite the criticism of our opponents who would try to make it appear that the Republicans of Pennsylva nia were no longer in accord with the policies of the national admin istration. "Again, a large falling off in the Republican vote this year would Inspire the opposition to make strenuous efforts in the congres sional districts in 1906, in the hope of reducing the Republican repre sentation from Pennsylvania in the national house of representatives, find which, if successful, might imperil the election of a Republi can speaker, and thereby serious ly embarrass the administration of President Roosevelt. In view of the difficulties that might be oc casioned by the failure to get out the Republican vote in November next I am led to thus early ad dress you, and to urge the neces sity of your perfecting the organi zation in your county at the ear liest possible date, and of conduct ing thereafter an energetic cam paign until the curtain rings down on Tuesday, November 7." Republicans Standing True. The chairman supplemented this with a request for a report regarding the political outlook and inquiring whether it would be reasonable to ex pect that a full vote can be |>olled. In response to this letter, Chairman Andrews has received answers from every Republican county chairman in the state and he is more than delight ed with the Information they impart "I do not recall an instance In my years of political work" said Colonel Andrews, In discussing this correspon dence. "when I have had such prompt and highly satisfactory replies to a let tcr of Inquiry of this charai ter so early in a political contest. All the letters Indicate the Republicans of Pennsyl vania are standing true to their party colors, and that they will he heard from In no uncertain tones In Novem ber next as loyally supporting the en tire Republican ticket." Many of the letters gave not only the opinions of the county chairmen, but the latter quoted other leuiling Re publicans In their respective counties. Indorsing their statements as to the feeling among the voters People Contented and Happy. "Our county Is standing steadfast In the Republican column." wrote one of the chairmen "We will glvi a I'ir- R*r majority than iirial In an otf-year campaign Our peopl« are contented and happy. They believe In Itisee veil and they propose that the Republican pnrty or I'ennsyivnafa shall heraid to the world In November next that the Keystone &tate Is not faltering In her ioynlty to the national administration, and will be found next year electing a solid Republican delegation to con gress to Bupport the president in his progressive American policies." "Insurgency and mugwumpory have no foothold in this county." reported another of the chairmen. "We are all in line for the whola Republican tick et. While we may not get out as many votes as we did for President Roose velt, we will more than hold our own for a state election, and our majority will be above the average. I hear of absolutely no dissentlon, while, on the other hand, there is an ardent and ag gressive Republican spirit evinced by the young men of this section." From one of the northern tier of counties the chairman sent this mes sage: "Put e*r county down for fully as large a majority as we polled at the presidential election. This may seem strange, but a canvass shows that we are golij* to get large accessions fro.u Biea wlio last year voted the Demo cratic ticket for the last time. I don't know what is to become of the Demo cratic party up our way. Old-time Democrats see no hope for their party in the future. They are satisfied with the condition of affairs the country, and are going to vote with us next November. Roosevelt has cap tured many of them, and they are going to be with us from now on. Our people are prosperous." Coal Mining Regions Loyal. Throughout the anthracite coal re gion there appears to be an unusually confident spirit shown in the corres pondence received by Chairman An drews. One chairman from this region among other things said: "Every county in the coal mining districts of this state will be found 'standing pat' with Roosevelt and the Republican party. Our are em ployed and contented. They have no concern as to the future, and they aro determined to vote the full Republican ticket. They believe "In letting well enough alone. They want no change, and cannot be switched from the Re publican ticket by any arguments or chicanery of independent Republican or other assistant Democrats." One of the western county chairmen, after predicting that his county would increase its Republican majority over the highest figure ever given in an off year, added: "I bank upon this estimate because after having interviewed several hun dred of our active Republicans I dis covered a remarkable condition of af fairs. We have for years been b'/th cred with an element which, while pro fessing Republican principles, have al ways found one pretext or another to vote against our ticket. "Kickers" Stop Kicking. "They do not comprise over three hundred voters all told, but three hun dred voters for the ticket means quite a difference in the size of the majority. There will not be five per cent, of these old-time 'kickers' against us this fail. They may all get into line before elec tion day. Stalwart Republicanism seems to be in the air, and that is why you may look for a splendid showing from our county; in fact, J believe you will have the same reports from all parts of this section of the state from what I hear In travelling on trains." All of Chairman Andrews' letters told practically the same story. The majority will surely be above the aver ago for an "off-year." There was no room to question the intense party fervor which exists. PENROSE AND KNOX They Stand Well With the President, and Are Working in Harmony. Washington, July 18.—Members of the Pennsylvania official colony here are still talking about the conference which Senator Knox held with Presi dent Roosevelt last week at Oyster Bay. There is no doubt of the fact that Senator Knox is one of the closest men in the country to the president. Roosevelt has great respect for his judgment and it is known that ques tions of the highest importance w ire discussed at this conference. Pennsylvania's two United States senators stand well with the presld' nl. and they are working in absolute har mony in looking after the Interests o: their constituents in the Keystone state. Senator Penrose, in his last visit to the White House, which was just be fore the Roosevelt family left on th»->ir summer vacation, had a very satisfac tory talk with the president, ar:d the latter showed his appreciation of the cordial support of the senior senator from Pennsylvania by giving hint two important consular appointment, that very day. One of these places went to Y :<we|| Kennedy Moorehead of I'lttsb nwho was appointed consul to a deslrab! post In Canada, and the -r wa landed by H K Chase i>.;ner • hitir man of the Clearfield county It put II ran committee, who goes to Calanllt Italy, Probably in no other state In ih union do the two I'nlted Slate* s< i t tors work In greater harmony thau d Senators Penrose ami Knox.
