Sept. 20. rrnnit.ylvnnia lit not KCt Into the presidential Rwlm S5rly until about the middle of Oc- This does not mean thnt the Re nubllcan stato organization la Inactive ir Indifferent. On the contrary, the nrd!ne enthusiasm, according to re SrU from 11 section of the state, is fathering momentum with accumulating Th's like a swelling tide that will break- In a gigantic billow about the middle of next month down In Phila delphia with a great Republican rally. Between that time nnd the end of the month three other great meetings will hold one each at Pittsburgh, hrie ind Scranton. At le'ast that la the plan Governor Sproul wishes to sec put Former Governor Edwin 8. Stuart, president of the Union League, is work ing on the Philadelphia program. It will be under'the auspices of the Union Leflguc. Pennsylvania is so overwhelmingly Republican, and so thoroughly safe for the national ticket, that there is a ten dency on the part of national political managers to count It in the Republican column and let it go at that. In other words Pennsylvania can take care of itself. Sproul Sees Danger Governor Sproul delivered a bare knuckle blow- at this mistaken policy In t talk on tho general outlook. ' "I have always .looked upon it as an erroneous policy to pass up Pennsyl vania when it camo to a national cam Salgn," b said. "The natural ton epcy to regard it as absolutely safe and Ignore U In favor of other and doubtful states Is not only a mistake, but actually dangerous. ' "Take Philadelphia as an Illustra tion It is the third city of the Union. It exerts n powerful influence over jouthern New Jersey, Drlawnre nnd northern Maryland, separate nnd apart frdm Its influence in Pennsylvania. "Its attitude on great national Issues is practically paramount In the terri tory 1 have mentioned. This seems to be overlooked. The same is true of Pitts burgh. It Is the industrial and political center of a vast region that includes all of western Pennsylvania, a largo sec tion of eastern and southeastern Ohio I and northern west irgluiu. "Hecauseiof its industrial nnd com mercial magnitude, its htrategical posi tion. I might say. Pennsylvania can exert. If Its energies are employed to that purpose, a great Influence, political is well as Industrial and commercial affairs, in the six states by which it Is tujrounded. It in a fact worthy of con ilderatiou by national managers, par ticularly as jive out of the six states have Democratic governors. People Are Aroused "There is no question that the people of Pennsylvania are, thoroughly aroused on present issues. They are eager to' clean up that crowd in Washington nnd i the result in November will show that they uent at the job in earnest. i 'Apart from the usjinl couuty rallies. I think it is uccrjisan- Jo hold several rreat meetings In the state simply to keep up the morale of the nartv as well ib for tho effect on the neighboring states. "Everywhere I have gone." contiuued Goernor Sproul, "I have found the people bolllns over with indignation and a desire to mop up the mess at Wash ington. Tho people are set In this pur pose. Their eyes ore fixed on that one great issue." "What have you heard in the way of detailed instances that are favorable to Harding and the success of the Re publican ticket," I Asked.

Then he added : 'If the people of Txas would vote their true, scnti merits the vote would be so strongly ll:??!L of. n.nrdlP8 that they couldn't count the ballots.' "There is a desire in the South to f Pr,en.s disapproval of the Wilson ad ministration, if only there could be a meeting with northern Republicans' on some common ground where race feclijig and sectional Issues could be wiped nut. I met a number of southern business men during my vacation at White Sul pnur Springs, and this was the consen sus of opinion of all of t1(ctn.

They know now they have been fed up on false promises and inado the victims of a sort of glorified confidence game. Real Issues Hidden "The real Issues have been cam ouflaged, while all sorts of extraneous and exotic issues that were lacking In fundamental soundness have been palmed off on them. "I am convinced that New York state outsmc of tuc city ana Brooklyn will give Harding 400,000 majority. "West Virginia Is surely Republican. Maryland and Kentucky! expect to givo not oniy a decisive out substantial Re publican majority. In Pennsylvania wo wm gain two moro Republican con gressmen."
