Ei-fXTiox Day, Tuesday, November
7th less than a week off.
Iowa has bad no Democratic Con
gressman since The State is also
out of debt and generally happy.
The Republicans of Somerset county
will show uext Tuesday what they will
do for William McKinley'a election in
l'JUO.
No Republican can have any excuse
for scratching his ballot next Tuesday.
The Republican county ticket is com
posed of exceptionally good men.
Candidate Ckeasy, while a legisla
tor, was always after what was coming
to him. and be lined up late and early
in front of the treasury.
The Democratic search for an issue is
still in vain, but the party has several
old ones that it would like to get rid of
if it could be decently managed.
No Thanksgiving proclamation has
ever been issued with bo many bless
ings in sight as is the case with the one
just signed by President McKiuley.
While Lieutenant -Colonel Harnett
was on the firing line in the Philip
pines, Candidate Creasy was on the
firing line at the State Treasury, get
ting his salary in advance.
Those people who support the Prei
dent's policy will go to the polls this
year and mark a cross in the circle at
the top of the first column on the bal
lot That will settle it.
A total British force of 77,000 men
has been provided fur operations in
South Africa, including those already
on the ground. The task ahead is not
underrated in the British War Office.
Agi'I.valik) is still praying for Creasy
and his good mends in the "great Deni
ocratic party." It will do no good.
Creasy and the "creat Democratic par
ty" are doomed. The people have
ppoken.
There should be do stay-at-homes
this year. Every Republican in the
county should go to the polls next Tues
day and vote the straight ticket. The
State ticket is an excellent one, and a
better county ticket was never nomin
ated.
National affairs are rapidly getting
around to a point where the Demo
cratic party will be anxious to welcome
a panic at boose and a famine abroad.
The Democratic organization always
' thrives best upon the misfortunes and
ills of humanity.
Vote for "Jim" Saylor; vote for
"Johnnie" Shafer; vote for "Tice"
Reel; vote the straight ticket; don't
scratch a name on the Republican
ticket; put a cross in the circle at the
top of the first column of the ticket
and it will do the business.
Bkyax says be looks for success in
Ohio, Kentucky and Nebraska, and
would not be surprised by the capture
of Iowa. At the Chicago Convention
he predicted that silver would carry
every State in the Union. The dis
count on bis estimates can be judged
accordingly.
The political campaign is rapidly
Hearing its end. There has been little
excitement, and there is danger of the
vjte being light Every Republican
who is interested in party success and
in the endorsement of the National Ad
ministration sho'ild 1 nd his best efforts
to get out the largest vote possible.
Senator Penrose, who has been
stumping in Ohio, said in Pittsburg the
other day that the Republicans would
win in President McKinley'a State, and
that the Republican majority in Penn
sylvania would be not less than 150,000.
Of this, Somerset should contribute
3,000 majority, at least
It is going to be very hard for hon
e-jt, unprejudiced Democrats, who have
seen the difference between the Cleve
land administration adversity and the
McKinley administration prosperity to
walk up this year and vote that same
old Democratic ticket Lots of them
simply won't do it
In bis ery able speech at Warren,
Monday night, Attorney-General Elkin
effectually disposed of the Democratic
fabrication that the Republican State
Administration has been hostile to the
common schools of Pennsylvania. The
facta and figures given by Mr. Elkin
can not be controverted or swept aside
It is a record, as be asserts, which the
Republican party can justly be proud
of, and can afford to stand upon before
the whole world.
The Democrat who every year serves
bis party by telling ghost stories of
prominent Republicans who are "cut
ling the ticket," and "trading off can
didate," now has bis innings. Let no
Republican be deceived by such state
ments. They are the regular campaign
canards which have been doing cam
paign duty for a time whereof the
memory of man runneth not to the
contrary. Except in a few instances
not more nameroua or serious than
Usual the Republican party is united
oa the whole ticket, while the candi
dates are standing firmly by each other.
From ail sections of the county re-
rorts come of delegations intending to
come to Somerset and participate in
... a
the Graod Republican JCaiiy to oe oeiu
here Thursday evening. It is an as
sured fact that all of the prominent
speakers advertised will be present and
the Republicans of the county are anx
ious to hear them and accord them an
enthusiastic welcome. Unless all sigus
fail the meeting Thursday evening will
be a record breaker in the history of
Somerset county politics.
Admiral Dewey baa said again, and
quite as emphatically as before, that he
is not, and never will be, a candidate
for the presidency. He dwells upon
the fact that the career of a naval offi
cer can not be that of a politician, and
that be must be content with the hon-
ore of his profession. The Admiral s
ambitions are evidently along the line ,
minuted throughout his life. He has no i
r ,
desire whatever to enter an untried
field. By the advice of his physician,
Dewey has been compelled to recon
sider his acceptance of invitations to
several cities anxious to give him a wel
come. The strain of going into poli
tics as a presidential candidate would
be far greater. It is clear that the Ad
miral is not to be caught by the arts of
selfish politicians who would use his
great name for their own purposes.
The venal Democratic end Insur
gent press of the State has opened the
floodgates of vilification and character
asaasi nation on Lieutenant - Colonel
Barnett, the Republican candidate for
State Treasurer, charging him with
cowardice in the face of the enemy in
the Philippines. To all who enjoy Col
onel Harnett's personal acquaintance
these foul and cowardly slanders need
no refutation. Three months ago the
press of the entire State was loud in its
praises of the gallant young commander
of the "Fighting Tenth," but now, on
the eve of the election, when he is a
candidate for office, it remains for the
skulkers who remained at home to at
tempt to tarnish the reputation he won
in the Philippines. If Colonel Barnett
bad shown the white feather In the face
of the enemy the public would have
learned of it long ago. Every patriotic
citizen should set his seal of disapproval
on this despicable method of smirching
the fame of a gallant soldier by voting
for Barnett on Tuesday next
If any Republican feels inclined to
me the knife on any Republican can
didate, he should ak himself this ques
tion: "Who will profit by this?" Thus
far, none but Democrats have profited
by factional strife among Republicans.
Through such strife, last year, the Dem
ocrat more than doubled their strength
in each branch of the Legislature, and
more than trebled their strength in the
congressional delegation of the State.
This year they hope, through like strife,
to gain control of the State Treasury.
And their plans do not stop here. They
hope, next year, through a continuance
of this strife, to add to the number of
Diiuocratic Congressmen, gain a ma
jority of the Legislature on joint bal
lot, and thus elect a Dimocrat to the
United States Senate, and possibly car
ry the State for a Democratic free trade
and bunco dollar President Republi
can dissensions, and nothing else will
make all this possible, much of it prob
able, and not a little of it certain. Re
publican union will make all of it mi
possible. The only safe course for the
Republican to take, who wishes to
make it impossible, is to vote the
whole Republican ticket.
Mr. John Wanamaker's Philadel
North American and other papers of
its ilk are taking great delight in rub
bing it into the regular Republicans
that John I. Mitchell, the nominee for
Supreme Court Judge, has a long rec
ord as a kicker and a bolUr that he is
an "Insurgent" In its issue of Satur
day the North American says, among
other things, iu a lengthy editorial
''The machine has but one candidate
in this campaign. John I. Mitchell
was not the choice of the machine. He
is an Insurgent of eighteen years' stand
ing. Col. Barnett, therefore, is the sol
itary candidate who represents the
machine."
Mr. M itcbell was regularly placed on
the Republican ticket, and although
all the North American says of his par
ty regularity, and much more, may le
true, he will receive the support of the
Stalwart Republicans of the State,
even though the half-breed press were
to "rub it in" a hundred times more
than they are doing. Were the Stal
warts to act as the Insurgents have
acted in the past and are acting now,
Mr. Mitchell's name would be Dennis
after next Tuesday. But the Stalwarts
are not built that way ; they make
their fight at the primary and always
support the ticket then nominated at
the fall election.
With the election less than one
week distant, it is high time that Born
erset county Republicans shake off the
lethargy that is prevailing and awaken
to the importance of polling the full
party vote. It is true, there is neither
President nor Governor to elect, but
there are other important State offices to
be filled, to say nothing of the fact that
this is the preliminary battle to the
great National contest of next year,
and if defeat should come to the party,
or even the usual majority consider
ably lessened, either would be eagerly
seized upon by our opponents and her
aided all over the country as a rebuke
to the party and condemnation of
President McKiuley and the National
Administration. Republicans every
where, worthy of the name, ought to
shake off everything savoring of apa
thy, and go to the polls resolved to do
what they can to preserve the prestige
of the party and bold up the bands of
the President in bringing the Philip
pine war to a speedy conclusion, and
keeping up the tide of prosperity so
happily initiated under Republican
auspices and now reaching into and
affecting all portions of the country,
No other section of the Nation baa
better reason to rejoice in the return of
good times than Western Pennsylva
nia, and a corresponding return of
support should be accorded the party
that made possible the return of pros
perity, the increase in wages, etc.
Our ticket, both County and State,
is one that no Republican can take ex
ceptions to and should leoeive the sup
port of all who believe in the wisdom
of continuing Republican rule. No
Republican worthy of the name will
allow anything to prevent bis going
to the polls next Tuesday and voting
for the candidates of his party.

A Business Man Who Declined to
Follow the So-Called League.
NOT HELPING DEMOCRACY.
& Prominent Philadelphia and Member
btr of th Union Lcagns Repudiate At
tempts to Aid Ery Anita Creasy.
(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia. Oct 31. The maBks
Lave been torn from the men who.
while claiming to be Republicans, are
constantly working In the Interest of
the Democracy.
J. Q. Ramsdell. a well known Chest
nut street merchant was a member of
the so-called Business Men's Republi
can League, but be is so no longer.
Mr. Ramsdell Is a staunch Republican
and an ardent supporter of President
McKinley. He was one of the first
business men In this city to advocate
the nomination and election of Major
McKinley to the presidency. He has
been a member of the Union League
for years, and he became identified
with the so-called Business Men's
League with the highest motives. It
was his desire to aid In the advance
ment of Republican principles and to
assist In keeping up the standard of
the party organization. There wj
nothing selfish In his action; be was
not then, nor is he today, an aspirant
for office. He has. however, found that
he made a mistake as to the character
and purposes of the so-called Business
Men's Republican League. And there
are many others who have made the
same discovery. It has developed into
a "one man machine," and its apparent
purpose seems to be to aid the enemies
of the Republican party and to assail
and malign every Republican candidate
for office who does not represent. tne
factional and personal interests for
which the so-called league stands.
A CASE OP FALSE PRETENSE.
Without daring to utter a word
against the personal character, or to
question the Integrity of the present
Republican candidate for state treasur
er. Lieutenant Colonel James E. Bar
nett, this body recently launched into
a fulsome eulogy of W. T. Creasy, the
Democratic candidate for state treaiur-
er, vho, it is notorious, has been a
rampant Bryanlte and a blatant advo
cate of the Chicago platform. This so
called league has been flooding the
state with literature In the interest of
Creasy, and iu paid agents have been
Industriously at work seeking to dis
credit the Republican organization and
to give aid and encouragement to the
Brvanite candidate of the Bryanlte ma
chine of the Pennsylvania Democracy.
But the people of the state have beet
thoroughly informed as to the charac
ter of the organization, and its fre
quent fulmlnations in the shape of
matter prepared for publication in
Democratic and assistant Democratic
newspapers are readily recognized and
promptly discounted.
Mr. Ramsdell. whose place of busi
ness is at 1111 Chestnut street and who
Is one of the leading and influential cit
izens of Philadelphia, did nc. hesitate
to express his opinion of the so-called
Business Men's League and its meth
ods. "I AM A REPUBLICAN."
"I am a Republican." said Mr. Rams
dell, in commenting upon the matter,
"and I Joined what is called the Easi
ness Men's Republican League with a
view of advancing the cause of Repub
licanism. I had no idea of becoming
identified with an annex of the Demo
cratic machine of Pennsylvania, nor
did I suppose that I would beassoclated
with men who would subordinate the
welfare of the Republican party to set
fish interests or the advancement of
the ambitions of any one man. The
idea of an organization supposed to be
composed of Republicans and buslnesi
rcen aiding in a canvass to make an
outspoken advocate of Bryan and the
Chicago platform. Mr. Creasy, the cus
todian of the state funds or Republi
can Pennsylvania seems almost too ab
surd to be considered for a moment
The entire course of this organization
has been inconsistent and ridiculous.
I cannot imagine that it has more than
a skeleton membership. I made an ef
fort to procure a list of the members.
There seemed to be great mystery
about the personnel of the organiza
tion. When I was told that I could
not have the list I Immediately re
quested that my name be stricken from
their rolls, as I informed them that I
did not care to belong to any organiza
tion in which I could not know who
mv associates or fellow members were.
That ended ray connection with the
Business Men's Republican League. I
do not see how any Republican can
beloncr to it consistently.
HOW REAL BUSINESS MEN FEEL.
"I have made it my business to in
quire among my business friends and
acauaintances," continued Mr. Rams
dell, "as to their views on the present
political situation, and the unanimous
cpinion prevails that the candidates on
the Republican ticket will be elected
by handsome majorities at the coming
election. The nomination or ueuien
ant Colonel Barnett. of the Fighting
Tenth regiment, for state treasurer was
a tribute to the brave Pennsylvania
boys who went to the far off Philip
pines to fight for their country's flag.
The manly character and splendid at
tainments ef Lieutenant Colonel Bar
Lett his admitted ability and undoub-
ed integrity are generally recognized
and attempts of the Demwn cy or their
allies to detract from the laurels he ha"
won will be Indignantly resented by
the people at the polls. The other can
didates on the Republican state ticket
Messrs. Brown and Mitchell, are men
of sterling worth and, with the candi
date for state treasurer, make an ex
ceptionally strong ticket, one which
every Republican in Pennsylvania
should be proud to support.

dodge a bad cold and the grip at this time
