OLEO AGITATION " PURELY POLITICAL Farmer Cope Challenges All Who Criticize His Department to Face Him. CONGRESS IS IN DOUBT. Peasaylvssls Republicans Warned of the Dancer In Fusion With a United States Senator to Elect and With a Foil of the Country Show- Ins But Six Probable Republican Majority la the House. (Special Correspondence.) Harrlsburg, Oct. 23.—The political character of the agitation over the oleo issue is becoming known to the voters of the state. The willful misrepresent ations of the work of the department of agriculture have been going on so long and the associations of the men back of the attacks are now so well known that the farmers and dairymen of the state are not being deceived. This was apparent in Chester county last week, when men who are identi fied with the insurgent Republican movement got up a meeting and sought to help along their fusion legislative campaign through it. Their gathering was a small one, and It was evident that the politicians were working a losing game. FARMER COPE'S CHALLENGE. Farmer Cope, after reading the re ports of what was said at this insurgent meeting in West Chester, promptly Is sued the following challenge: "Having noticed the proceedings of the meeting held at Smith's Hall, West Chester, Pa., on Oct. 16, I beg leave to make the following statement in order to sustain the action of myself and the attaches of the dairy and food depart ment of the commonwealth of Pennsyl vania. "To Edward Walter, George Rhoads, Samuel E. Howell, Penrose Maule, John Battin and John C. Sharpless: I challenge you collectively or Individ ually or any one connected with that meeting or any one in the common wealth of Pennsylvania or any news paper published In this state to pro duce any evidence before any court of this commonwealth or board of arbi tration that will sustain them in mak ing the following charges: " 'Whereas, By the sworn testimony of witnesses and the records of the several courts of quarter sessions of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania it has been shown that officials of our state and others under them have con spired with the oleomorgarlne dealers and actually did aid and abet them in committing crimes and violations of our laws prohibiting the illegal sale of oleomargarine. " 'Whereas, By the violation of the laws regulating the sale of oleomarga rine the farmers of the state of Penn sylvania have been systematically and deliberately robbed out of several mil lion dollars annually in the sale of their dairy products.' "I furthermore challenge any one in this commonwealth or any newspaper in this commonwealth to produce any evidence since my taking charge of this division that will be sustained by any court of this commonwealth or board of arbitration, that any attorney, chemist or agent has by any act or in any manner hindered or prevented the arrest and conviction of any person or persons violating the pure food and oleomargarine laws of this state. "Furthermore, I most emphatically deny that I am under control of any machine, faction, party or association or that either Governor Stone, Secre tary Hamilton or any one else connect ed with the state administration has at any time used or endeavored to use any influence or pressure in regard to my actions as dairy and food commis sioner of this commonwealth. "I honestly and conscientiously be lieve by the condition in which I found this division upon taking charge on the 19th day of June, 1900, that there has been nothing criminal that can be at tached to any official connected with this department. That the attack upon this department has been prompted «a tlrely as a partisan movement to poi son and prejudice the minds of tha farmers of the state. "(Signed) JESSE K. COPE, "Dairy and Food Commlsisoner." CONGRESS IN DOUBT. The poll of the United States made by the New York Herald shows that while the Republicans have the bright est prospects of winning a majority In the house, the probable majority is a very small one, and it is not at all certain that the Republicans wlil have both branches of congress at the next session. The Jasion campaign which certain men heretofore identified with the Re publican organization are making with the Democratic machine politicians may seriously affect the election ol Republican congressmen and members of the legislature. The poll indicates that the Republi cans, according to the present situa tion, will have a majority of six votes in the house. But as to the United States senate, there are many doubtful conditions which may imperil Republican success. The figures given by the New York Herald as to the outlook in the cam paign for the election of United States senators are Intereatlng.
