JOHN llll'S ■ Fill 11 Willi Asserted That His Genius Has for Years Kept an Insurgent Force at Work in Every County of Penn sylvania. ROOSEVELT STARTS A WAVE OF STALWARTISM. President's Visit to Wiikes-Barrc Welded Republican Organization Solid—inside History of Philadel phia Turmoil. Philadelphia Transcript. On the eve of a great campaign involving city, State and National issues it is fair to all concerned that there is no mistake as to fund amentals. It happens at this time that both men and methods are vital issues in Philadelphia, and that neither men nor methods are paramount issues in the State of Pennsylvania outside the city of Philadelphia. Certain it is that no sane man in Pennsylvania will attack the .National policy outlined by Theodore Roosevelt. The wide, wide world has indorsed Roosevelt, who stands fairly and squarely up on a platform of rocks first erected for him in Pennsylvania. It will be admitted that a National issue can be raised in Pennsylvania at this time by wantonly attacking the Republican party from within as well as from wiihout for some ulterior purpose. It is quite clear now that such a wanton attack has been made and that the inspiration was born of the long and often thwarted ambitions of John Wana maker. Having utterly failed to rule the Republican party in Penn sylvania, this masterly mind seeks to ruin it. Behind the Committee of Seventy is John Wanamaker. Behind the City party is John Wanamaker. Behind the Berry boom is John Wanamaker. Behind the cowardly attacks up on J. Lee Phi miner is John Wana maker. Behind the newspapers through out the State using inspired svndi oated news is John Wanamaker. Behind the Lincoln party is John W anamaker. The end is not yet. The genius of John Wanamakcr has, for year* past, kept an insur gent fort eat work in every aounty in the State, undermining the reg ul.u Utpublican organization, and this band of political free-lances lias raided the regular Democratic organization so often that its very life has been sapped away, as .lames (iay Gordon most eloquent ly pointed out at the reunion din ner tendered the Senate of iss.'i by Lewis Emery, Jr., some months ago: "We Democrats counted for something then," said the great orator, Gordon, "but to-day the Democratic party in Pennsylvania figures only as a glorious memory." The wreck of the Democratic party was brought about as much by John Wanainaker and his .hy brid organizations as by Bryan and Bryan ism, Cleveland and his panics. Quay and his matchless or ganization. The Wanainaker raids sapped the very life's blood out of the Democracy of Pennsylvania. The Lincoln party is a Wana inaker raid. Make 110 mistake about it. ECLIPSE OF WANAMAKER. Wanainaker's solar system pass ed in eclipse in 1886, when the Re publicans of Philadelphia preferred not to nominate him for mayor. He conceived the idea that it would be a great thing to be the first mayor elected under the Bullitt bill charter, and a mighty struggle was made by his friends and himself to secure the regular nomination. Edwin H. Fitler was nominated and elected. Not many men who are active in the progressing raid on the Republican party in Penn sylvania know that John Wana inaker was keenly in the hunt for the Democratic-Independent nomi nation for mayor against Mr. Fit ler. Such was the case. Wanainaker spent mere than one night in his house 011 Walnut street, east of Broad with promin ent Democrats and wreckers trying to arrange terms upon which he could secure the Democratic nomi nation without putting himself be yond the pale of party regularity, lie wanted Independent Republi cans to nominate him with the as surance of Democratic support at the polls, so that in the event of his election lie could go into office as a Republican. It was in tin; office of Rudolph Blankenburg that he finally sidestepped the Demo cratic nomination. He then thought more of his party regular ity than he did of the coveted nomination. As now. he then knew the value of the regularity he now asks Republicans all over the State to sacrifice to testify first his personal grudges and later his poli tical ambitions. The plan will fall. Since 188(5 John Wanamaker has sat in the Cabinet of a Republican President. At a time when Sena tor Quay was particularly offensive to controlling forces in Philadel phia he might have been nomina ted for and elected to the United States Senate. A petty political grafter from the wilds of Northern Pennsylvania induced him to wage personal warfare upon the very men wno had quite determined up on his nomination and election, and this war cost him the ambition of his life—a seat in the Senate of the United States. Thus betrayed and cheated by a creature of his own discovery, he has ever since been blinded to the true conditions and has waged relentless war upon the dominant party in Pennsyl vania. He was induced to make a spect acle of himself before a convention <;alled nominate a Republican can date for Governor. Defeated in the convention he fathered a raid on the organization to which he openly avowed allegiance. NAMED AH DISTRICT ATTORNEY. Still willing to recognize him as a factor and to accord him a share of the patronage the party had to l»estow, he was permitted to name his private counsellor for the high and most powerful office of district attorney. When a candidate for re-election P. Frederick Rothermel and John Wanamaker both frank ly admitted the relation ofcounsel ler and dint, and that admission doomed Rothermel to defeat at the polls through tin l same agencies that denied W anamaker a Senator iol nomination. The deep wounds cried aloud for CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1905. vengeance, and the wrath descend ed upon P. Frederick Rothermel, who was personally unobjection able, and who is now in good .stand ing and repute in the regular Re publican organization. The rela tions between Mr. Wana maker and Mr. Rothermel were suddenly ter minated because Mr. Rothermel, wishing to pay a pretty compli ment to his close friend and loyal supported, Norris 8. Bar rat t, went to the judical convention that nominated Judge Barratt, who had been appointed to sueeeed Judge Pennypacker, for the full term he is now serving. Being of the most conspicuous of the many great law yers sitting in that convention, Mr. Rothermel was called upon to preside. It must be quite well un derstood that there was no polities in this convention. The only can didate before the convention was already upon the bench, and his nomination was a mere matter of form, just as was the recent nomi nation of Judge Biddle, who is not even known as a candidate before the people at the coming election. All the parties in interest have long since agreed that a sitting judge shall be renominated as long as his conduct on the bench shall be above public criticism. Mr. Rothermel, still having in mind his desire to personally felicitate his near and dear friend Judge Barrat, presided over the conven tion with becoming dignity, and left the hall with the plaudits of the delegates still ringing in his ears. When he reached his pri vate office he received a tirade of abuse from John Wanamaker, who presumed to criticize his actions. Mr. Rothermel at once submitted his bill ' 'for professional services to date,'' and there and then ended the relationship between John Wanamaker and P. Frederick Rothermel. This circumstance re calls the fact that it was John Wanamaker who financed the Union party light againt John Weaver, who, at the time was the regular Republican nominee for district attorney against Mr. Roth ermel. who was Mi . Wanamaker's personal candidate. When Mr. Rothermel declined to further serve liim, Mr. Wanamakur sought new counsel, and strangely enough sel ected the celebrated and capable law linn of Weaver & Drake. The Mr. Weaver in this firm is none other thanjthe mayor of Philadel phia, who was elected district at torney, according to this same John Wanamaker, "by the most corrupt and criminal methods ever employ ed to debauch the ballot." A mere tyro in politics can see the farsight of .John Wanamaker in this election. Be it known that John Weaver was mayor of Philadelphia when the selection was made. THE CHAIN OK NEWSPAPERS. The Wanamaker chain of news papers is notorious. He controls directly and all the time every line that appears in either the "Record" or the "North American." By patronage he has a more or less po tent voice in the editing of the "Press" and the"Telegraph." Through the "North American" he uses a large number of newspap ers in all parts of the State. To accomplish this a news syndicate was organized not unlike the As sociate Press in its plan, but, for political purposes only, restricted in this State. News other than political is huckstered all over the country by this agency, which is directly and always controlled by John Wanamaker. Thus it is that bitter articles attacking Philadel phia and Pennsylvania have been seattered broad cast through the land to the hurt of all Pennsylvan ia financial and comminercial in terests. These inspired publica tions by more extensive articles in the "Record" and the "North Am erican." In the "Record" office he has two of his former press agents on constant guard. John I'. Dwyer, the nominal managing editor of the "Record," was the press agent of the union party and acted as the personal representa tive of John Wanamaker at head quarters. Albert li. Bailey, tins city editor of the "Record," was the prt'Hs agent Mr. Wanamaker carried all over the State with him on his now famous stumping tour. Both of these Wanamaker agents report regularly every day to Ed ward A. Van Valkenburg, the AVananiaker political manager, who directs both the "North American" and the "Record" with the con stant and able assistance of James Jay Cordon, who has been snap ping at the basis of the Republi can party since memory runneth not. The late Matthew Stanley Quay was an especial and constant victim <if attacks by John Wana maker. In the notorious Peoples bank case he was haled before Magistrate Jeruion, held for court, indicted and tried. The case against him was so defective and utterly preposterous that the Com monwealth was forced to abandon it in mid-trial, and Mr. Quay lived to see himself re-elected to the United States Senate and called in to councils held by the greatest men in the land. A LINCOLN PARTY LEADER. In the forefront of the Lincoln party movement and up to his eyes in the City party campaign in the Thirty-second ward is George E. Mapes. This man has for years past been an editorial writer on Democratic newspapers, and was taken up by the "North Ameri can" because of his intimate know ledge of men and things "up the State." When he had quite out lived his usefulness on the "North American"he was transferred to the"Record,"where he was sent to jolly folks from "up the State." 011 the editorial page in a newly creat ed department called "Our State Neighbors." The trick is so trans parent that it inspires mirth. The poisoned darts directed against the vitals of the Republican party in the State first appear upon the edi torial page of the "Record" where, the genius thinks the farmers will look for their own names. Until he resigned some hours ago, Frank Brewer, the superin tendent in charge of the great Wanamaker store, was chairman of the City party city committee. He resigned merely to halt the cry of "Too much Wanainaker." 111 the Committee of Nine, in the Com mittee of Seventy, and in the new ly organized City club, one Albert K. Turner is most active as an ad viser and sort of fiscal agent repre senting John Wanamaker. This lad was the first press agent tun ployed by the Committee of Sev enty. He imagined that he was running for councils in the Thirty fourth ward last February, and lie now is impressed with the idea that his advice is essential to the life and well-being of the Committee of Nine, the Committee of Seventy, the City party and the City club. He is regularly employed as the financial editor of the "North Am erican,"and no more need be said. There is a three-handed reel in the present situation. John Weaver is private counsel for John Wana maker. James Jay Gordon is pri vate counsel for the "North Am ican" and special counsel for Mayor Weaver. John Wanamaker is the financial backer of the Lincoln party in the State, and it is now proposed in some quarters to sur render every vestige of the City party to Mayor Weaver and to per mit. him to nominate the county ticket, which will strengthen his organization in the State. This must not be read or con sidered as an attack upon John Wanamaker, who is trying to do in Pennsylvania percisely what John Edward Addicks has failed to do in Delaware, lie is endeav oring to build up a personal party in the State. He is doomed to de feat. The gravity of the situation demands this frank statement of the facts. A KI'RVKY OK THE STATE. Critical survey of the State by experts fails to disclose any great weakness in the Republican organ ization or any aggressive interest in the candidacy of Mayor Berry, who hopes to sit light in the office of State Treasurer. \« a matter of fact, the struggle for supremacy in Philadelphia ha> quite climated the State ticket from the public eye in Philadelphia. The "situation" in Pittsburg remains as ever, some thing of a mystery, but there is no outspoken opposition to J. Lee Plummet* in the councils of any faction. The great anthracite field has been won over to stalwart Re publicanism by the recent visit >;f President Roosevelt, and here great gains will be shown at the coming election. Of course, the President did not come into the anthracite field to strengthen the Republican organization in these couuties but, being a strong partisan, we will be gratified to learn that his visit will yield several thousand votes to the ticket, A canvass of the State reveals the fact that the county newspapers are taking more interest in their local fights than they are in the State issues. The insidious attack upon the Republican part}' by the political pirates hidden behind the Lincoln party has not yet been taken up for serious consideration by ye country editor. Not a few of the stalwart papers in the State have even neglected to hoist the banner of the Stsite ticket at the head of their editorial pages. All these minor details will be straight ened out within the week by State Chairman Andrews, who is depend ing upon personal reports from every township in the State rather than upon published articles for his information. Thus far the attacks upon Mr. Plummet' have been confined to personal abuse. It is recalled that just such an attack was made up on Col. Barnett when he was a candidate before the people, and the result completely squelched the hired assassins of character who were sent trumpeting through the State throwing mud at a man just returned from a battlefield. The Niles letter has fallen flat. The publication created no comment other than that implied by the query: "Who is Niles?" THE INJECTION OF RELIGION. The injection of religion into the fight has hurt whatever slight chances Mayor Berry might have had. He is a rampant Prohibi tionist and a sort of all-round ex horter. Great business interests having much at stake in the State, are always loath to take up with men of this type who are candi dates for public office. Conserva tive bankers are of the opinion that the Department of the State Treas ury has always been prudently and most intelligently managed, and that there is no valid reason for surrending control of this high of fice to the Democrats, who are no toriously irresponsible as to the right of capital and the necessities of bankers. Not a penny has ever been lost by the State or through the management of the State Treas ury by Republicans. The present attack upon Mr. Plummer is mere ly a cloak to a more far-reaching raid upon the Republican party in the State. Political parties are es sential to the well being of our in stitutions.and the Republican partX in Pennsylvania sets the pace for all the other States. When Penn splvania wavers the other Republi can States must fall. Faith Mot Necessary. You may be just as skeptical and pes simistic as you please.
