How Pennsylvania Young Repub
licans Propose to Turn Out.
WILL EALLY FOR THE TICKET,
A I nil'oi-iu l'or n Political Can
v:«*» Is Tlint of tin- Follower* of
the Hero of San Juan Hill, "Wlio 1.1
on Hie National Ticket.
(Special Correspondence.)
Harrisburg, July 10. —Pennsylvania
will be well to the front in enthusiasm
and party fervor in the coming presi
dential campaign.
A proposition has been made to the
party leaders to assist in the organiza
tion of what shall be known as "Rough
Rider" campaign clubs.
These organizations, it is suggested,
shall be composed of young Republi
cans, who will be recruited for the
campaign and who will attend mass
meetings and other party rallies inAhe
interests of McKinley and Roosevelt
and the entire Republican ticket.
ROUGH RIDERS' RIGS.
It is proposed that the men who.par
ticipate in the demonstrations in which
these clubs shall figure shall -be uni
formed in suits of khaki, with the
Rough Rider slouch hats and leggings,
and each to wear an artificial eye
glass, as a sort of suggestion of Roose
velt's personality.
Gen. Reeder, chairman of the Re
publican state committee, is under
stood to look with favor upon this sug
gested plan to enlist the sympathies
and the energies of young Republicans
of the state, and, it is said, he will
make an effort to get Col. Roosevelt
to make at least one speech during the
present campaign in Pennsylvania.
The local Rough Rider clubs'will be
gotten together for this occasion and
a great ovation is promised the vice
presidential candidate and the hero of
San Juan' Hill.
A close friend of Governor Roose
velt remarked a few days agoithat&liad
it not been for the positive stand taken
by Col. Quay and his colleagues in the
Pennsylvania delegation to the Re
publican national convention Col.
Uoosevelt would not have been nomi
nated at the Philadelphia convention.
Col. Quay will not take any undue
credit for the attitude of the delega
tion from this state on the issue of the
vice presidency. He made it quite clear
that he advocated the nomination of
Col. Roosevelt for vice president, not
on personal grounds—for it is prob
able that they had not exchanged a
dozen words before they met in Phil
adelphia prior to the convention —but
purely in the interest of the Republi
can party and with a desire to see the
ticket elected. Senator Penrose has
been a close personal friend of Col.
Uoosevelt for years. They have spent
much time together hunting big game
in the wild west and as each is fond
of that sort of sport a natural feeling
of friendship developed between them.
Prosperity will be the keynote of the
coming presidential campaign, and
Pennsylvania will not be ashamed to
present the record of her advancement
and success since the election of Mc-
Kinley to the presidency. She is eager
to do all in her power to continue the
ascendency of the Republican party in
administering the affairs of the na
tion. She is proud of the work that
has been done under President Mc-
Kinley's guidance and direction, and
she is ready to meet the issue with
any Bryanite champions at any time
during the coming canvass.
A gratifying condition of affair?
among the workingmen of Pennsylva
nia under the Republican administrn
tion of national affairs is presented j
a report of James Campbell, chief of
the Pennsylvania state factory inspec
tion department. He says there has
never been greater evidences of pros
perity among the wage earners.
PROSPERITY'S REIGN.
Few men in Pennsylvania have bet
ter opportunity for knowing the con
dition of labor than has Chief Camp
bell, because of the close touch which
lie must maintain with various indus
tries, through his deputies, who cover
every part of the state. "My reports
up to the first of last March," he said
a few days ago, "showed that there |
were then employed over 100,000 more '
people than at the time when my an- j
nual detailed statement was prepared
in November. At the latter period
there were .'128.000 more employes than
there were ab.mt the same date in lS9(i.
So that in all there are nearly a half
million more wage earners engaged!
than there were four years ago in the I
branches covered by the deputy in-1
spectors,
"With this as a basis —that is, in the j
factories and other works subject to ]
inspection by our deputies alone —there, j
must be between 700.000 or 800,000 i
more hands employed than there were
four years ago. taking into considera- j
tion the increase on the railroads, in
the mines and in other industries. This j
is true wherever you look. Things i
were never in better condition, in fact,
than they now are. In many instances, j
moreover, it is found that there are
manufacturing establishments in Penn
sylvania that would be running on
double time if the owners could get the
required number of people. This is
particularly the case as regards skill
ed labor. It cannot be obtained to the
desired Jtait in various lines. Of
course have gone up. They:
must do BO as long as this scarcity of !
workmen exists
