A DESPERATE GAME
Democrats Resort to Campaign
of Slander and Abuse.
BOURBON TACTICS REVIVED
Despite Onslaught of the Enemy Re
publican Lines In Pennsylvania Are
Unbroken and Moving On to
Triumph.
Special Correspondence.
Harrisburg. Pa., Oct 15.
Without a single Issue upon which
to make a campaign, the Democrats
of Pennsylvania. In a desperate effort
to win the coming election, have re
sorted to the old-time tactics of slan-
er, personal abuse and wilful mis
representation of the Republican party
and its candidate.
In the closing hours of the present
state contest the Democratic editors
nd professional spellbinders find the
tide of popular sentiment running so
trongly against them that they seem
to have lost all regard for decency and
self-respect In the reckless and un
scrupulous methods employed to pro
mote their cause.
Despite the fact that before he was
made the Republican nominee for
state treasurer, John O. Sheatz was
lauded by every Democratic newspa
per In the state as a fearless. Inde
pendent and public-spirited member of
the state legislature, these same jour
nalistic stars are now filling the col
umns of their newspapers with violent
attacks upon Mr. Sheatz, with state
ments entirely at variance with their
laudatory references to him while he
was a member of the general assem
bly, fighting the battles of the people,
and they are calling upon the voters
to defeat him at the polls and elect In
his stead a man whose strongest claim
upon them is that he Is a Democrat.
Reckless Democratic Oratory.
Supplementing the work of the Dem
ocratic editors, are a corps of profes
sional Democratic politicians who are
stumping the counties repeating
charges that are absolutely unfound
ed, and circulating most flagrantly
false statements in regard to Mr.
Sheatz's votes In the legislature and
In otnr ways misrepresenting the Re
publican candidate and his party.
This campaign of vituperation and
abuse is a logical sequence to the at
tempt at the very outset of the con
test to weaken Mr. Sheatz among the
old soldiers of Pennsylvania by the
distribution of circulars teeming with
falsehoods and malice, and designed to
array the veterans of the Civil War
against him in the matter of the sol
diers' pension bill.
The prompt and emphatic repudia
tion of this scheme by leading and in
fluential members of the Grand Army,
who knew Mr. Sheatz's ardent and
conscientious interest in the old sol
diers and sailors, and who, over their
signatures, told the story of his devo
tion to their cause, for the time being
completely demoralized the managers
of the Democratic machine.
Bourbon Tactics Recalled.
Hostilities have been resumed, how
ever.
There has evidently been an agree
ment among the Democratic politi
cians to go the limit in the closing
days of the canvass In the matter of
misrepresentation and abuse of every
thing Republican, and especially of
the Republican nominee for state
treasurer.
Last week marked the opening of
this contemptible campaign. It is to
be carried on without cessation until
the polls close upon the 5th of No
vember, but there is every reason to
believe that the well-meaning citizens
of the Keystone state will recognize
th's revival of the despicable Bourbon
methods which for years characterized
Democratic campaigns in this and
other states.
The citizens of Pennsylvania are
all familiar with the high personal
character, the unblemished public
record, the clean purpose and the
proved Integrity of John O. Sheatz,
and It is certain that the more the
Democratic editors and machine ora
tors attack him the greater will be his
majority at the coming election.
The people have confidence In Mr.
Sheatz and will resent the disreputable
campaign that is being waged against
him.
Lcoklng to the Presidency.
Under existing conditions in Penfr
sylvania, the success of the Republl
can ticket Is Inevitable.
Every effort on the part of the op
position to divide the Republican vote
has been a failure. Independents who
have recently been figuring in fusion
movements are practically all lined
up for the Republican candidate. They
sea that this is but the beginning of a
great national fight in which the Re
publican hosts will be lined up against
the national Democracy In a struggle
for the presidency. They want to have
their party united now, so that
Republicanism will not be handi
rappsi next year when it Bhall be
lalled upon to elect a successor to
President Roosevelt. They want to let
the nation know by the size of the Re
publican majority in Pennsylvania this
fall that the Keystone state Is again
at the front, prepared to battle for the
principles and the policies which have
made this the greatest nation upon
the globe.
A Orlnln Cure for Croup 1'kpiI for Trn

Mr. V. C. Bott, a Star City, Ind., hard

praise of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
His children have all been subject to
croup and he has used this remedy for
the past ten years, and though tbey much
feared the croup, his wile and be always
felt safe upon retiring when a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Rempdy was in the
bouse. His oldest child was subject to
severe at tacts of croup, but this remedy
never failed to effect a speedy cure. He
has recommended it to friends and neigh
bor and all who have usd it say that it
is uneqnaled for croup and whooping
cough. For sale by Duon ot Fulton.
VETERANS SPEAK OUT
Ringing Call to Old Soldiers to
Back Sheatz For Treasurer.
HE WAS THEIR FRIEND
Patriotic Record of the Republican
Party In Pennsylvania In Recogniz
ing the Services of the Nation's
Brave Defenders.
Special Correspondence.
Philadelphia, Oct. 15.
Nearly 500 well known veterans ot
the Civil War, soldiers and Bailors who
fought for the flag in the hour of the
nation's peril, have united In an ad
dress to their fellow citizens of Penn
sylvania caltng upon them to support
John O. Sheatz, the Republican nomi
nee for state treasurer.
This action is doubly significant In
view of the early attempts of Demo
cratic politicians to alllgn the war vet
erans In opposition to Mr. Sheati.
A Patriotic Record.
The address to which these heroic
Pennsylvanlans append their signa
tures Is a comprehensive statement of
the record of the Republican party In
the matter of caring for the veterans
of the war in both the state and the
nation. It recites In detail the many
pension measures passed and gives fig
ures showing the amount of money
paid out to the veterans.
It emphasizes the policy of the Re
publican leadership in Pennsylvania,
which has been responsible for the
generous appropriations made to the
schools for the rare of the orphans of
soldiers and sailors, a total expendi
ture of $12,545,153.74 having been made
to date for this Item alone.
There has been appropriated sums
aggregating $1,887,089.42 to the home
at Erie for friendless veterans, and
homes for veterans and their wives
established at Brookvllle, Hawkins
Station and Philadelphia have been as
sisted by the state to the extent of
$200,000.
Sheatz Was Sincere.
A careful review of the work of
John O. Sheatz, as chairman of the
committee on appropriations of the
house of representatives, is given and
Mr. Sheatz is declared to have acted
with the highest spirit of patriotism
and fairness in framing the bill pro
viding for pensions for the veterans
which Governor Stuart, on account of
Insufficiency of funds, felt obliged to
veto.
As to Mr. Sheatz the address among
other things says:
Because of the Insufficiency of the
state funds the governor was com
pelled to very reluctantly veto the
bill, but we have every reason to be
lieve that at the next session of the
legislature of our state there will be
sufficient members, like Mr. Sheatz,
whose patriotic Impulses and affection
for the veterans of the Civil War will
Insure the passage of a satisfactory
bill for the purpose Indicated.
"In view of the facts herein present
ed, Is It necessary to offer any further
arguments or reasons when we ask
you to support the Republican State
ticket in the coming election? The
candidates to be voted for have been
nominated by the same old parties
John O. Sheatz for state treasurer, by
the party of Lincoln, Grant and Mc
Klnley, the party that has ever sus
tained and cared for the veteran, his
widow and the orphan, and honored
and loved him for his services; his op
ponent, by the party that has never
been known to favor the veteran In
any way, but has stricken his name
from the pension roll and has left him
an object of charity.
"We ask for, not only your own
vote, but that you use your influence
with your fellow citizens that our
state, which was true to the union in
the days of '61, may still remain true
to the party that has ever been true
to the Union and has always been a
friend to the soldier."
Republicans Are Aroused.
The chairman says he Is highly grat
ified with the reports that come to him
from every section of the state. The
committeemen In all he counties are
working enthusiastically and they as
sure him that a very large percentage
of the vote will be polled.
There have been so many requests
rereived at the state headquarters for
meetings to be addressed by Candl
date Sheatz that owing to conflicting
dates suggested the state chairman
has had difficulty In complying with
the wishes of all cf the county chair
men.
President Habgood, of the State
League of Republican Clubs, Is co
operating with State Chairman An
drews. He has addressed a number of
meetings, and reports that the young
Republicans of the state are taking a
keen Interest In the campaign.
"Mr. Sheatz will have at least 100,
000 majority," confidently predicted
President Habgood, after returning
from a tour of the state.
Chairman Wesley R. Andrews, of the
Republican state committee, has com
pleted an Itinerary for Mr. Sheatz for
this week, with meetings at Bradford,
Wednesday; Kane, Thursday; Indiana
Friday, and Pittsburg on Saturday
night.
The action of the Republican state
administration in pressing the prose
cutions asainBt men accused of d
frauding the state In connection with
the building and furnishing of the
state capltol at Harrisburg has en
tirely eliminated that Issue from the
present political campaign.

DISCARDED BY WOMAN.
Philadelphia Man Pleads For Meeting
nd When Me Is Denied Shoots
Himself.
Philadelphia, Oct. 15. After vainly
trying to Induce a married woman,
with whom he was Infatuated, to meot
him by appointment Henry Reese, a
former custom houwo inspector and a
member of a wcllknown family of this
city, attempted suicide on the street
by shooting himself In a wealthy resi
dential section of West Philadelphia.
Reese, who is 35, went into a drug
store early In the afternoon and was
heard talking over the telephone. He
was apparently pleading with a woman
to meet him on the street near the
drug store. From his conversation
it Is assumed that she told him she
would not meet him.
Reese, who teemed excited, told her
that If she did not come he would
shoot himself.
' l mean Just what I say," the drug
gist heard him say. "If you do not
come I shall shoot myself at once."
When Reese came out of the tele
phone booth ho smiled at tne drug
clerk. The latter thought he was
Joking and trying to scare the person
to whom he was talking. Reese walk
ed out of the store, drew a revolver
from his pocket and shot himself near
the heart.
It developed, according to the In
formation supplied by the police, that
Reese a few nights ago had gone to
the house In which the woman with
whom he la Infatuated lived nnd at
tempted to force, his way Into the
place by prying open a window with a
knife. The knife blade broke and the
police say they found tne nroken
piece In the window and the other por
tion of the knife In Reese's home.
A warrant was Issued for his arrest
as a result, charging him with at
tempted larceny.
STEAM HEATER EXPLODES.
Old Plumber Meets Death When In
specting Apparatus.
Scranton, Oct. 15. John J. Howley,
aged GO, who had been In the plumb
Ins and stenmfltting business all his
life, was killed by the explosion of a
hot water furnace la the cellar of his
home In Dun'kore. He recently pur
chased the house and started a fire In
the furnace for the flist time yester

permitting the hot water to pass to
the pipes vas not turned on nnd that
the explosion followed when the pres
sure became too much for the boiler.
He was examining the furnace in
company with his two daughters when
he explosion occurred. Both legs
were blown off nnd he was terribly
mangled. The daughters were sllght-
v Injured. The cellar was badly
wrecked and the house set afire but
