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.

belief that Harding would bo elected

u Predicted Surprises
... 110 rann Predicted that some great
S?.?.. m?'ero. In torc ln tho Artier
states. 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.
"Railroad workers with whom 1
have talked express n desire to get back
. ?P,un(1 Policies and normal conditions
of life. 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."
The Governor expressed the view that
tne women voters Would contribute very
materially to Hardine's success. Tt tvn's
an error, he said, to imagine that women $55,000
