The Democratic campaign was suc
cessfully opened on Saturday, Sept.
10, when meetings were held simulta.
neously in about fifty counties in the |
state. :
A crowd of 10,000 people greeted
Senator Grim, Democratic nominee for |
governor, at the opening demonstra-
tion of the campaign in Reading. Upon |
his arrival Senaior Grim was met by
& large delegation, headed by Sena-:
tor E. M. Herbst, who took him to the
Hotel Penn, where a reception was
held in the room occupied by William |
J. Bryan on his visit there three years
ago. After dinner the party drove to]
the fair grounds, where an immense.
crowd awaited them. :

Accompanied by County Chairman
Kremp, Register ot Willis Gregory,

Senator Herbst, Senator Grim arrived
in an automobile and was given a tre
mendous ovation. After a brier ad-
dress County Chairman Kremp pre
sented District Attorney H. D. Schael-
fer, the presi officer. Mr. Schaef-
fer made a ringing speech and intro
duced Senator Grim as “the next gov-
ernor of Pennsylvania.”
In Candidate Grim's Home.
“Democratic Campaign Day,” which
was observed throughout the state,
was marked in Buc county by a
m of the Democratic county
committee in the morning and a coun- |
un meeting in the afternoon in the
urt House park.
County Chairman Warren 8S. i
called the meeting to order shortly af-
ter 2 o'clock. He stated that it was
hoped to make a county meeting for
the ratification of the Democratic
ticket a permanent feature of the par-
ty in Bucks county. He then read the
names of the officers of the meeting,
who had been chosen by the county
committee in the morning. i
Mr. Long then introduced Chairman |
Wynne James, who in a neat speech;
unmistakably defined his position in
the present contest.
e speeches of the afternoon were
made by Harry E. Grim, Esq. of Per-
kasie, and Congressman A. Mitchell |
Palmer, of Stroudsburg, Pa. Both the]
speeches were strong, clean-cut and
to the point.
Chester and Dauphin Counties. |
The meeting in Dauphin county was |
an all-day affair and the most success.
ful event in the history of the party of
the state capital. It was held in the
spacious rooms of the Central Demo- |
cratic club, which held “open house”:
from early in the morning until near- |
ly midnight, all the time the tables |
ing under the weight of a buffet |
unch, constantly replenished by a.
corps of waiters.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon a meet.
ing of the county committee was held,
Chairman Wallower presiding, during
which ringing resolutions endorsing
the ticket of the Allentown convention
and pledging the cordial support of
the De ns of Dauphin county to
Senator Grim and his associates on the
ticket were adopted unanimously. Sub-
Jequenty eloquent addresses were de-
livered by ans aur Max C.
Gopeiin and B. k Nead.
t the evening meeting the rooms
were crowded to their limit and able
addresses were delivered by W. K.
Meyers, chairman of the first division
of the Democratic organization, and
Benjamin M. Nead, a veteran mo-
cratic leader and prouineat lawyer of
Harrisburg. One of the interesting fea-
tures of the meeting was a letter from
Hon. B. F. Meyers, a war horse of
Democracy, who was unable to attend
in person on account of advanced age :
and temporary illness. Mr. Meyers In
most earnest guage importuned all
Democratc to get together in SuDpOr
of the admirable Democratic ticket
headed by Webster Grim. The readin
of the letter evoked ta most enthusi-
astic outburst of applause.
The Chester county meeting in West
Chester was harmonious and there
was no clash among the Democrats,
as wae predicted. Addresses urging
loyalty to the state and count tickets
were made by Chairman orris B.
Slack, Granville L. Rettew, his prede-
cessor; ex-State Representative W.
H. Davis and Lewis B. King. Resolu-
tions heartily endorsing Grim and his
colleagues were unanimously adopted.
The Celebration In Other Counties.
In Lycoming county the celebratio
of Democratic Campaign Day was un-
der the auspices of the Young Men's
Democratic club, of Williamsport, fa-
mous for its observance of Jackson
Day annually. The doors of the club
were thrown open to all Democrats of
Lycoming county or any other county,
and short speeches were made by lo-
cal candidates and leading lawyers. It
was a delightful affair and the club
proposes to make it an annual event.
In Altoona the Democrats of Blair
county held a meeting of the county
committee, receptions for the local
candidates and a general love feast.
Thousands came to congratulate their
neighbor and friend, Hon. Thomas H.
Greevy, upon his nomintion as the
candidate for lieutenant governor, and
brief speeches were made by a num-
ber of enthusiastic Democrats.
In Westmoreland county a session of
the county committee was held and
receptions given to the local candi-
da! at which speeches were made.

In fact the novelty of the affair ap-
ed to the Democrats everywhere
both in the general and state govern-
ments. The people are beginning to
fcel tne burdens and inquire into the
causes of them. As a result of this in-
vestigation the people of Maine voted
the Democratic ticket.
The government at Washington
costing the people of this country the
enormous sum of $3,5€7,685.66 every
day in the year. Estimating the popu-
lation of the country at 90,000,000,
that means that every man, woman
and chi¥d pays about 26 cents a day
for the maintenance of the govern-
ment. This tax is levied in the increas
ed prices of clothing, shoes, blankets,
furniture, tableware and foodstuffs. A
family of ten pays $2.50 a day for gov-
ernment, which is considerably more
than the wages of the head of the
average family.
Of course this ruinous rate cannot
be maintained long. It will not only
produce national bankruptcy, but make
pauperism inevitable. The people of
Maine realized this fact and applied
the only remedy. That is, they voted
out the party responsible for this men-
acing profligacy and voted in the party
willing and able to correct the fault
and cure the evil. Will Pennsylvania
voters have like good sense?
Maine and Pennsylvania.
An analysis of the returns of the
election in Maine reveals the import-
ant fact that the Democratic victory
was not achieved by accessions from
the Republican ranks. That is to say,
while the Republican vote fell off only
6 per cent, the Democratic vote in-
creased 17 per cent. The result, there
fore, is attributable to the fact that
Democrats who have not been voting
in recent years voted this year, while
a small percentage of the Republicans
who have been in the habit of voting
refained from doing so this year.
In other words, Democratic apathy
has been defeating the Democratic
party in Maine during recent years,
just as the same cause has worked
the same effect in Pennsylvania. At
every election except that of 1908 since
1904, a full Democratic vote would
have elected the Democratic ticket in
Pennsylvania, and last year 80 per
cent of the Democratic vote would
have elected the Democratic candidate
for justice of the supreme court.
Maine has set the example of politi-
cal vigilance and energy this year, and
it is to be hoped the Democrats of
Pennsylvania will follow it. If they do
the recent victory in Maine will look
like a plugged penny compared with
| what will happen in this state on the
8th of November.
The Divided Opposition.
[From the Philadelphia Record.]
Democrats of Pennsylvania who
have faithfully adhered to the party
through good and evil report and have
joined the Keystone Party movement
in a sincere desire to end machine
misrule and corruption cannot toc
earnestly consider what is involved in
persisting in this course. In a divided
opposition is the only hope of the Pen-
rose machine to foist its batch of po
litical nondescripts upon the govern-
ment of the commonwealth.
If the Democratic candidate for gov-
ernor, Webster Grim, were objection-
able in his personal character, or want
ing in abilities or in Democratic prin-
ciples, there would be ample cause for
this schism. But as his personal char-
acter is above reproach, as his ability
has been fully tested in the state sen-
ate, and as the soundness of his Dem-
ocratic principles is not challenged, it
is something like mockery in Demo-
crats as well as in independent Re:
publicans who are hostile to the ma-
chine rule to abandon this candidate
to follow a will-o-the-wisp of a candi
date who says he belongs to “the
Roosevelt-Bryan party.” What this =
may mean, unless it be the fantastic
New Nationalism, it is hard to say.
Voters over twenty-two years of age
who neglected to get assessed this
year and is therefore unable to pay
taxes in order to qualify himself to
vote, can pay taxes on or before Sat.
urday, October 8, 1910, on an assess
ment made last year, either where he
lives now or where he lived then. The
law requires that a state or county
tax be paid thirty days before the
election. ‘Therefore, a voter who was
assessed last year, anywhere within
the state and failed to pay then, and
has not been assessed this year, may
pay last year's tax, which will qualify
him to vote this year.
An interesting Conundrum.
But if Ballinger is innocent and
abused why don’t his friends on the
committee attend the meetings and
exonerate him instead of making a
grand rush for the exit?—Indianapolis
Sun.
The first duty of a citizen is to see
that he is qualified to vote and that
assured he can fulfill his civic obliga
tions without trouble on election day
by casting his ballot for the splendid
Democratic ticket.
sts
That little affair in Maine the otne:
day was simply a reminder that this
is a Democratic year and the right
time for every Democrat to get intc
the band wagon.
Maine didn’t go “hell-bent” this
year. It took the opposite course and
landed on “the evergreen shore,” sc
to speak.
Meantime the mighty hunter ap
pears to have found a hole to crawl in
proved again yesterday when the Dem-
ocrats of Connecticut nominated Judge
Simeon E. Baldwin for governor. Of
Judge Baldwin's eminent qualifications
there can be no question.
Next week it is probable that the
Democrats of New Jersey wiil name
Woodrow Wilson for governor, and
ten days later the Democrats of New
York will piace in nomination one of
several highly acceptable men now
urged for the governorshop. Whio
Democrats siready have a national fig-
ure in the field in the person of Jud:
son Harmon.
Thus in the ability and character of
the men that they present for leader-
ship Democrats are revealing appre-
ciation of responsibility as well as of
opportunity. The cther day Vermont
established *he fact that one Republi-
can out of every four would not vote.
Next Monday, no doubt, Maine will
show the same dissatisfaction, and the
election of a Democratic governor is
possible. In November a like condi-
tion of affeirs will give the Demo-
crats a sweeping victory throughout
the country, with control of the house
and an increased representation in the
United States senate. On the morn-
ing of Nov. 9 the American people will
be astonished at the proportions of
this Democratic triumph.
These achievements are to be
brought about, as the World has said,
by Republicans as well as by Demo-
crats. Nominating their best men
everywhere, Democrats are making it
easy for Republicans to participate
directly or indirectly in the great up
rising.
And to All Pennsylvania Republican
Congressmen.
Has it ever occuried to the Taftites
that one way of keeping Cannon from
being speaker is to beat him in his
district? Same procedure applies to
