Our August
Clearance Sale
in Our Cloak Eoom
Continues today and every day until our Summer Garments are
disposed ot. Think of buying this season's Suits that sold at
30 and $35 at 10; others at 5 that were $15 and 0. All
other Suits in proportion. Come and select' a Suit, Coat or
Skirt; no matter what the price was, it's but a fraction ot that
now.
Our August Sale of Blankets
Is a revelation in value giving. We never opened a sale so
lully prepared to supply all wants as we have in this great
Blanket sale. Hotel and boarding house keepers should supply
their needs now.
August Sale of Embroidered Robes
If we were to tell you that we were offering a lot of hand
some Embroidered Robes at one-fourth their actual value would
it tax your credulity? And yet no truer assertion was ever
made. Cold type never printed any more positive truth. For
$) you can take your choice of two dozen of the most hand
some Embroidered Robes we have ever put on our counters.
Some were 15, but many of them were 20 and more. It
doesn't look plausible, does itf And yet it's simply a case
where the man who buys these made a mistake to revert to
slang, "he bit off more than he could chew." He thought he
could not get too many, consequently this firm stands to lose a
goodly sum on account of his misjudgment.
Those Silks at 39 Cents.
No matter how tempting might be the offer, it would be
asking too much of you to carry away 2,000 yards of Silks in
one day at this season, and yet you made a big hole in the lot.

Philadelphia, August 21.
While the Republican campaign In
this state will not be formally opened
for at least a couple of weeks, there
has been a vast amount of work al
ready done in preparation for a vig
orous and spirited canvass of every
county In the commonwealth In the In
terest of the entire Republican ticket
The Republican party hns nevef
started out under more favorable aus
pices, with Its exceptionally strong and
popular candidates running upon a plat
form which hns been taken as a model
by Republican state organizations
throughout the country, eager to get
Into line with the advanced thought
of Roosevelt leadership and to have the
pnrty placed squarely upon record a
officially endorsing and loyally sup
porting the national administration.
Stuart a Popular Candidate
Tho nomination of Edwin S. Stuart
for the governorship has spiked the
guns of the opposition to the Republi
can party in Pennsylvania.
Not a word of criticism of him has
been heard since he was made the
standird bearer of his party. His pub
lic record and his private life commend
bim to the voters, and his sincerity of
purpose and his fealty to tho cause of
Republicanism have never been ques
tioned. With his collearrues on the state
ticket, all of whom have been received
with universal commendation, Mr. Stu
art Is prepared to meet his fellow-cltl-lens
face to face In every county in the
tate and to assure them of his Inten
tion to faithfully and conscientiously
carry out every pledge made in his ac
ceptance of the nomination for governor.
Mr. Stuart stands squarely upon the
platform of the Republican state con
vention, which is conceded to be a most
comprehensive, progressive and thor
oughly up-to-date document.
In his letter of acceptance, Mr. Stuart
declared that this platform clearly defines-the
new political duties that have
ariien from new conditions, and that
the pnrty stands pledged to enact legis
lation to hold In check and control
corporations and to secure equal rights
to all.
Must Have Two-Cent Rate.
Since Mr. Stuart put himself on rec
ord as heartily In accord with the de
mand for a Mat rate of two cents a mile
for railroad fare, some of the railroads
have made a slight reduction in their
rate. U'Jien the Republican nominee
was interrogated upon this Issue he
promptly announced that he proposed
to adhere strictly to the promises made
In the Republican platform, and to in
sist upon legislation which will meet
the full demands of the people.
Mr. Stuart's manly attitude on the
question of freight and passenger rate
discrimination was clearly set forth
when he said:
"Our transportation companies
are common carriers, to which
have been given special and valu
able privileges primarily for the
public good, and they are required
by the' law, by sound public policy
and by the common honesty that
should govern the management
of public trusts to grant equal and
exact privileges to aH. They must
be made to understand that the
people of this commonwealth will
not tolerate an unjust discrimina
tion which gives to one and with
holds from another under like con
ditions, which builds up the busi
ness of a favorite few by crush
ing competition. This iniquity
must stop, and stop at once, and
a policy of absolute fairness to all
must be established and main
tained." To Follow Roosevelt's Lead.
One of the leading Issues of the
campaign will be the curtailment of
corporate power wherever abuses of
any character have been revealed, and
Mr. Stuart and his fellow candidates
will in that respect be found to be
ardent and enthusiastic supporters ot
President Roosevelt as the logical and
acknowledged leader In the enforce
ment nf this popular policy.
One of the most gratifying features
of the Republican canvass this year
Is the interest which Is being mani
fested In the details of the prelimi
nary work of tho campaign by Repub
licans all over the state.
Colon"! Wesley R. Andrews, chair
man of the Republican state commit
tee, has noted a large increase In the
correspondence, and finds that tho
county committeemen are enthusiastic
over the prospects of splendid majori
ties for the entire Republican ticket.
There have already been many re
quests lor mass meetings, and it Is
feared that the state committee will
bo unable to supply enough speakers
to meet the demands of tho county
chairmen when the canvass gets fair
ly under way.
There have been inquiries for ora
tors of national reputations from close
congressional districts, end Chairman
Sherman, of the national Republican
congressional committe, hns promised
to cooperate with Chairman Andrews
and give every assistance, In his pow
er to i or.triiiutp to thn succeRfi of Re
publican nominees throughout Penn

Defeat of the Republican Ticket In

Special Correspondence.
llarrisburg, August 21.
Pennsylvania Democrats are eagerlj
waiting to Join In the demonstration ol
the national Democracy over the home
coming of their leader, William Jen
nings Bryan.
There Is already on foot a well or
ganized movement in this state to bring
about the nomination of the "match
leas Democrat of Nebraska" for tht
presidency, and It is the hope and ex
pectation of leading Democrats that
the result of the election In Pennsyl
vania next November will materially
contribute toward that end.
Tho Democratic state convention,
which named Lewis Emery, Jr., for th
governorship and put upon the ticket
with him that trio of well-known Bry
anitos, Messrs. Black, Creasy and
Green, flatly proclaimed In Ha platform
that Bryan Is a certain successor ol
Roosevelt In the White House. Michael
J. Ryan, the eloquent presiding office!
of that convention, evoked choer aftei
cheer by his eulogies of Bryan and hit
confident prediction that he will be th
next president of the United States,
and that the outcome of the election
In Pennsylvania will foreshadow thai
result.
Democrats Looking Ahead.
' Arrangements have been made to
have a large representation ot leading
Democrats from Pennsylvania at the
great Madison Square Garden reception.
The Bryan men in every county in
this state have taken on a new lease
of political life and are showing new
vigor In their political work for Emery
and the entire Democratic ticket. They
are devoting particular attention, too,
to the Democratic and Llncolnlte fa
vorites for congress In the several dis
tricts In which candidates have already
been placed in the field.
They are quietly presenting argu
ments to tho old lino Bryantte Demo
crats for them "to stand by Emery and
the whole fusion ticket" In order that
the defeat of the Republican party in
Pennsylvania this fall may be pointed'
to as a signal endorsement from the
very citadel of Republicanism of what
they are pleased to characterize as a
great popular uprising for the election
of Bryan to the presidency.
Bryanites Almost Fanatical.
In this connection the enthusiasm ol
the followers ot Bryan In his own state
of Nebraska Is pointed to as emphasiz
ing the feeling that exists In the hearts
of his admirers throughout the coun
try. Press dispatches recounting the
scenes of the Joint convention of Dem
ocrats and Populists ot Nebraska held
at Lincoln a few days ago all tell ol
the almost fanatical exhibitions given
by some of the leading delegates.
Law-abiding, peace-loving and con
servative citizens of Pennsylvania, who
are being invited to join the Bryanites
of this commonwealth In their efforts
to record a vote of repudiation of the
Roosevelt administration and the
Roosevelt policies at the coming elec
tion through the defeat of the Repub
lican candidates in Pennsylvania b)
fusion or other games of political ma
nipulators, should read and reflect
upon the sensational speech made by
the presiding officer of the Nebraska
convention. Then they should con
sider how far a triumph for tho Em-cry-Donnelly-Ryan-Black-Creasy
-Green
fusion combination at the November
election would go toward promoting
the cause of Br.vanism throughout the
country.
Visions of Blood.
This is what Chairman Skiles, of the
Nebraska convention, said:
"The time is speedily coming
when by the advice and command
of the American people the guilty
highwaymen, the oppressors of the
poor and mockers of the courts will
be brought to their knees In hum
ble submissiqn by an outraged peo
ple. It may take revolution, it may
take bloodshed, but in my judg
ment it need take only the courage,
determination and backbone of an
American president, who will en
force the criminal laws of the
United States against the multi
millionaire and cabinet officer as
drastically as against the most
humble citizen in this nation. Such
a man is coming, lie is our friend
and neighbor that intrepid, cease
less, tireless fighter, the great com
moner and defender of human
rights, William Jennings Bryan,
the young gladiator of the west,
who. JO years ago, struck the first
deadly blow ever aimed at the heart
of plitsocracy in this country."
Mr. Skiles then pictured the Ameri
can people waiting to vote for Bryan
for president, and foreshadowed In the
returns of the state elections to be
held this fall in all parts of the coun
try an emphatic demand for the "Great
the cause of Hryanism.
In this connection It Is Interesting
to recall that the platform of the
Pennsylvania Democrairj. which nomi
nated Emery for governor, said:
"We congratulate the country
upon the fact that the only prom
inence the present Republican na
tional administration has attained
has been achieved by feeble and
pretender! application of the prin
ciples enunciated by the Hon. Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, the great
Democratic Commoner, who Is now
regarded as the certain successor
of Theodore Roosevelt to the pres
idency." A vote for Emery Is a vote of In
dorsement of that platform, as well as
a contribution of moral support to the
Bryan presidential movement.
