THE IJ0T Or ORATORS MADE UP Chairman Penrose and Secretary An drews Hav the Plan of Campaign Well Defined and Predict Dig Victory. Special Correspondence. Philadelphia, Aug. 23. The Republi can campaign in Pennsylvania hiiR bnn formally opened, and it is predicted that the Keystone state will, when the votes shall bo counted In November, continue to lead the column of Repub lican states of the union by the sizo of her Republican majority. Work at headquarters of the Repub lican state committee in this city lias been under way for a week, and very satisfactory progress has been male. In the absence of Senator Boles Pen rose, the chairman, Colonel Wesley K. Andrews, secretary of the stnte com mittee, has been in charge, and he ex pects to have all the preliminaries of the cauvass disposed of before tho rhalrman shall return. There has bocu a vast amount of correspondence al ready with the chairmen of ths county committees and other active Republi cans throughout the f tate, nnd reports received from various quarters indicato that tho Republicans of this stnM are taking a very lively interest In the coming election, and that they will continue to do so until the polls aro closed on election day. Hundreds of well-known Republicans from the Interior of the stato and fro.'ii the several wards of this city havs called at the state headquarters and volunteered their services for campaign work. Many young men who have rot heretofore taken a hand in polbics have asked to be enrolled for org:inl tatlon purposes, and a long list of ora tors has been made up for Chairman Penrose to call upon when occasion shall require that thny be dispatched to different parts of the state to address mass meetings. There aro a thousand and one thlngo to be put into shape before the active outdoor campaigning shall be inaugu rated, and it Is this work that is en gaging the attention of Secretary An drews, who, with a score of stenogra phers, is busy until late every evening at the headquarters on Locust street, above Eror.d. This building is admittedly the opst equipped and most desirable headquar ters of any political organization in tho country. The property hns been leased by the Republican organization of Pennsylvania for a number of years, and It is admirably suited for the pur poses for whlc h It is being used. Since the last campaign the building has been thoroughly renovated and made more attractive In many ways. Chairman Penrose and Secretary An drews have adjoining oflices on tho second floor, each with an outlook on Locust street. Chairman Penrose and Secretary An drews had several conferences beforo the senator departed on his vacation, and tho plans for the campaign were fully mapped out. Senator Penrose has Just written home that he expects to be back In this city by September 1. He Is having an enjoyable time riding on horseback in the wilds of Wyoming and Idaho, and will without doubt re turn In splendid health to take up tho work of the chairmanship of the state committee and press the campaign vig orously during the last eight week or the contest. A meeting of 'the Republican statu committee will be held on or about September 12, at which nominations will be made to fill vacancies on tho presidential electoral ticket. Some of those who were nominated for these honors by the Republican state con vention have been found to be ineli gible for the position by reason of tho fact that they are connected with na tional banks. They must either resign their positions in these financial in stitutions or get off tho ticket. Some will retire from the ticket, while others have expressed a determination to temporarily withdraw from their con nection with national banks so that they may have an opportunity to voto In the electoral college for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. The meeting of the state rommltteo will afford Chairman Penrose an oppor tunity to personally confer with tho active men from the different counties and to have them report as to the con dition of the party organization in their respective districts. There have been many calls for lit erature bearing upon the present cam paign, and as soon as tho national committee shall be In a position to meet this demand a eupply will be got ten for distribution directly from tho Btate headquarters In this city, fho speech of Chairman Cannon, of tho Republican national convention, and copies of the national platform aro among the documents for which the greatest number of requests have been received. It is not Intended that the speech making part of the campaign shall be inaugurated before the middle of Sep tember. At present there are so many persons away on their vacation trips that It would not be wise to hold po'lt Ical meetings at this time. There will be ample opportunity during tho months of September nnd October to hold all the meetings that shall be nec essary to rally Republicans of tli:' old Keystone state about their party stand ard for the victory which Is assured in Novomber nxt.

At times the pain became excruciating. Having used a lnfl.e number of so-called cures, I finally found a complete cure In Thompson's Ilarosmn, several bottles reducing all Inllammntion nnd conse quently curing the pain. Thanks to Barsomn, I have been perfectly weil for two years. My wife's health has great ly improved by taking Uarosma.

The Itentou Tliry Aliiiiiinl Anionic ho Creek nml t hi'i-okee IikIIiiun. The prevalence of Scotch names with the (.'reck and Cherokee Indians baa al various times been the source of no ne comment. AUIioukIi other uatlois, und, In fact, nearly every nation, k represented by the mimes borno by these people, these Scotch names are far more numerous and have sulTen.l less change than those acquired from any other mil ion. Tho names of some of these Scotch Indians tire closely al lied with the history of these two na tions for the oust 100 vears. mill for Heveral eneriitions such names as Mc intosh, McKellop, MeCombs, Adlr, lleljneen and MeCJIIIIvnry are reKlster r.l on nearly all the treaties and oill clal pupeni of moment to either na tion. Men bearing these names today lire unions? the foremost of the pro gressive I milium. As was stated, the origin of these Scotch names dates back over 100 yenrs. At that time the Creek and Cherokee Indiana more especially bent their efforts toward building up a na tion of physically perfect men. The women were encouraged to mate only with the strong. iv!ust men of the tribe, and If a weak man withstood the taunts and gibes of his fellows nnd re mained there wns little chance of bis securliiR n wife. In that way the life of these people was almost Spartan. While this sentiment was nt Its height and the tribes were llvliijr in (ieorgla, some time before the devolu tion, a regiment of Scotch highbinders was quartered in tho vicinity of ono of the principal villages of the nations.
