ANDREWS RUNS UP THE FLAG Opposition's Forces Are Divided Over Bitter Rows Among Democrats and Prohibitionists. Special CorrenpnnrtPnre. Philadelphia, Aug. 29. The headquarters of the Republican state committee were formally opened this weak, and the campaign for the election o the Republican state ticket has been Inaugurated under the most favorable conditions. A large force of clerks have been put to work, and a staff of stenographers sre kept busy until late every night turning out the heavy mall, to which Chairman Wesley It. Andrews gives peiwnal attention. Owing to the fact that the prellnil naw work of the canvass was started $1.25 SILBERBERG, Treasurer, II. R. MERRITT - $300,000.00 Profits, $357,040.12 - $1,808,731.63 of Deposit. unusually eany tnis year, matters are In shape to begin active and strenuous camualxnlnK without Interruption of any kind. "We have mn up our flag, we have our forces thoroughly organized, we are prepared for a shnrp and aggresalve campaign and we have not the slightest doubt about the outcome," declared Colonel Andrews, as he sat at his desk at the state headquarters. We are confronted by the same old enemy," bo continued, "although a desperate at tempt Is being made to make it appear otherwise, and we Intend to ndmlnlster one of those same old lickings which we have been giving them an they con front us at the polls year after year, The Republican ticket will be trlum phant this fall as usual, and the ma jorities will bo quito up to the average for an off-year campaign." Fusion Game Falls. The Democrats and their Insurgent Republican allies have been making a play for a fusion campaign In Pennsyl vania this fall, but they have not been successful In their efforts. While they did get the Democrats to put Justice Stewart, thn Republican nominee, on their ticket for the supreme court nom ination, this act was not only pleasing to the stalwart Republicans because tt demonstrated the wisdom of their ac tion In nominating Justice Stewart, but also because It has disrupted the Dem ocracy. There Bre thousands of Democrats who will not vote for a Republican under any circumstances. Thoy always resent tho placing of a Republican on the Democratic ticket. When this is done they generally remain away from the polls. If they do not do that, they voto for the Democrats on their ticket and cut the Republicans who may be put on their ticket to encourage fusion schemes. This year the Democracy, what la left of it, in Pennsylvania Is In a very bad way. They not only have a Republi can, Justice Stewart, at the head of their ticket, but they also have a Pro hibitionist, W. II. Derry, running for state treasurer. There are already being organised anti-Berry Democratic clubs by old-line Democrats who can not stand for a Prohibitionist. Demo crats of the Jacksonian school In coun ties llko Schuylkill, Berks, Luzerne, Lackawanna, Westmoreland, North ampton, Pike, Carbon and nlsewhere resent the nomination of Prohibitionist Berry and propose to assert themselves at tho coming election by voting for J. Lee Plummer, the Republican candi date for state treasurer. They Intend that James M. Guffey, the "boss" of the state Democracy, shall be taught a lesson at the coming election, and that it shall be Impressed upon him that he cannot command the Democrats of Pennsylvania to vote for either Republicans or Prohibitionists to serve his own selfish purposes. They say that If they are to vote for any candidates other than Democrats they reserve to themselves the right to se lect such candidates themselves. Dem ocratic leaders, they argue, are chosen to elect Democrats to office, not Prohi bitionists or members of any other party. A Pretty Fight, This. This Is a pretty flght that has sprung up among the Democrats. It not only disgusts the Democratic leaders, but it is a supreme disappointment to the sorehead Republicans or so-called in surgents who had hoped that the Dem ocrats would be united in support of Berry, whose campaign they have been counting upon to help them In their local factional games in several coun ties in which they are fighting tho reg ular Republican nominees. With the Democracy hopelessly di vided over their state ticket, and with number of Democratic county leaders up In arms against Guffey'a bosslsm, there can be no effective fusion cam paigning In any county In the stats this fall. The Prohibition state convention, with Its sensational Bcenesover the bru tal tactics resorted to In the scheming resulting In the nomination of Berry for state treasurer, furnishes additional cause for alarm and chagrin among the fusion conspirators. When they suc ceeded in landing Guffey for the nomi nation of Berry by the Democratic state convention, the next move was to hunt for delegates among the Prohibition ists. Through insurgent Republican Influences in this city, the Philadelphia delegation to the Prohibition state con vention was lined up for Berry, and this, with. other delegations under like control, gave the nucleus for a Berry movement In the Williamsport Prohi bition convention. The bitter and personal attacks upon Berry which were made upon the floor of the Prohibition state convention were not anticipated, and the large vote polled against his nomination was a complete surprise to the fusion crowd. Since the adjournment of the Wil liamsport convention, hundreds of the most prominent and Influential Prohibi tionists in the state have publicly de clared that they will not vote for Berry for state treasurer, and others have gone so far as to announce that thla year they are going to vote the full Republican ticket. Berry's Coat of Many Colors. They say they have not renounced the cause of Prohibition, but they look upon Berry as an office-seeking Jobber, who has successively es poused the cause of free silver, Bryan Ism, free trade, Parkerlsm, and now Is a Prohibitionist, and no one knows what next he will advocate In order to land in a fat state 'office. A large ma jority of Prohibitionists of Pennsyl vania sympathize with Republicanism, aside from their views on the prohlbl tlon of the liquor traffic. If they can not get sincere and loyal Prohibition lsts to vote for, the chances are that they Will support the Republican nom Inees. There has been much indignation expressed nt the manipulations by the Democratic and Insurgent Republican leaders which resulted in the Indorse ment of Berry at Williamsport, and the returns at the coming election are bound to show a falling off of the Pro hibition vote for the candidate for state treasurer. Meanwhile, with the Democrats and the Prohibitionists at odds over the selection of Berry, the Republicans throughout the state are supporting their candidate for state treasurer, J. Lee Plummer, with enthusiasm, and his election by an overwhelming ma jority Is confidently predicted by Stute Chairman Andrews. Rent ii nil Arrml. Depositor Is the cashier In? Mana gerNo, sir.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER ROOSTER KEEPS ON CROWINQ. Owner Doesn't Stop It and Is Sued For $200 Damages. Syracuse, N. Y., Aug. 29. Mrs. Louise Ely of Washington, D. C has sued Wells' McLouth, a farmer of Clif ton Springs, for $200 damages for per sonal injuries, alleging that McLouth failed to fulfill his part of a contract to stop a rooster from crowing early In the morning, for which she paid hlra II. The personal Injuries, it Is claimed, resulted from being awakened early in the morning by the rooster, which the defendant owned. Mrs. Ely occupies a room on West Hill near the McLouth homestead, and she objected to being disturbed' every morning. She waited upon Mr. Mc Louth and paid him $1 to keep the of fending chanticleer quiet, and this, she says, he failed to do, and by reason of said failure her health was injured.
