REPUBLICAN NEWS ITEM,
Laporte Pa.,
Kntered at the Post Office at Laporte, as
second-class mail matter.
rniiaaeiphia. Dec 18.—A compict?
ind emphatic rebuke was administer
ed to the insurgents and their news
paper combine by the state convention
of the Pennsylvania State Dairy union
assembled at Corry, Pa., lust week.
The administration of Governor Stone
has been the subject of malicious at
tacks by men and newspapers seeking
to tear down the Republican organiza
tion for their selfish purposes. Every
farmer and dairyman in Pennsylvania
Knows that under Governor Stone's ad
ministration the illicit traffic in oleo
has been the subject of a determined
crusade. Many arrests have been made
and convictions In court have followed.
Despite these facts a small coterie of
men Identified with the state grange,
who are engaged in factional politics,
most of them being Democrats, have
sought to misrepresent the state admin
istration. »
The Pennsylvania State Dairy union
is composed of men who do not allow
politics to interfere with their ideas of
fairness and honor. At their conven
tion at Corry these resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, That the Pennsylva
nia State Dairy union heartily in
dorses the efforts of the dairy and
food commissioner to enforce the
Utwa of Pennsylvania in relation to
the Illegal sale of oleomargarine;
•'Whereas, We recognize the in
adequacy of the penal provisions
of the present oleomargarine law,
to secure proper enforcement of the
sami,
' Resolved, That we instruct the
executive committee of this organ
ization to confer with the secretary
of agriculture for the recommenda
tion of such additional legislation
as shall enable the pure food com
missioner to effectively enforce the
laws in relation to the sale of oleo
margarine."
The above resolutions were present
ed by the board of managers of the
Dairy union, with their unanimous
recommendation, after having made
fill! investigation Into the work of the
dairy and food division of the depart
ment #f agriculture during the year. A
full and detailed statement waa made
by Secretary Hamilton, of the depart
ment of agriculture, before the general
meeting of the Dairy union, after which
the resolutions were adopted without a
dissenting voice.
This indorsement of the work of the
agricultural department during the
past year, in its efforts to suppress the
oleomargarine trade, comes with
special force, since the Dairy union not
only represents the entire dairy Indus
iry of Pennsylvania, but also because
the present law was framed by them,
and it was through their efforts that
it wae passed by the legislature of
1X99.
The statement of Secretary Hamil
ton. .showing what has been done and
the difficulties that lie in the way of
i he proper enforcement or the law, con- I
vinced the entire membership of the
Dairy union that the present law was
defective in several important respects,
■tnd that the department of agriculture
had done all that was possible, under
pv-'ine conditions, to enforce it.
Secretary of Agriculture Hamilton
recommended that the law be modified
so ;is to permit the agents of the de
partment to enter places of business,
make inspection of their stock, and If
goods are found which are suspected
of being adulterated the agent shall
have power to demand samples for
analysis. This amendment to the pres
ent law will greatly simplify its work
ings and make it possible for the de
partment to enforce its provisions,
without having to subject its agents
to the humiliation of disguising them
selves and resorting to questionable
methods in order to secure samples
of inspected goods.
The executive committee of the
Dairy union were instructed to confer
with the secretary of agriculture, with
a view of preparing a bill that will
remedy the defects of the present law,
for submission to the legislature at Its
coming session.
INSURGENT CORRUPTION FUND.
The outcome of the canvass for the
election of a United States senator is
iUtractlng widespread attention. While
those familiar with the inside work
ings are satisfied there is no doubt
about the re-election of Col. Quay, the
insurgents are working night and day
to !;eep him from getting enough votes
to elect, and thus throw the legislature
lnt-"> another deadlock.
The money resources of the insur
gents seem to be still plentiful, judg
ing from the character of the campaign
they are still carrying on throughout
the state. Agents are on the go con
stantly, working upon doubtful mem
bers, and particularly seeking to get
Democrats to sign papers pledging
themselves to act with the Insurgents
in the organization of the house. These
men are not to be regarded as working
for nothing, nor is it to be assumed by
any practical politician that they have
no hope of large rewards in the event
of their "landing" one or more Dem
ocratic members. What Inducement
they are offering, if any, has yet to be
revealed, but it is more than probable
that the methods of these emissaries
will sooner or later become the subject
of public scandal, and that those who
play with fire are apt to be severely
burnt before they are through with
their nefarious work.
To cover up their tracks the insur
gent* are putting out through their
newspapers the same old stories that
were retailed by them during the dead
lock Of the last IMRIOH that tt)a friend*
, at 001. Quay hope to get Democratic
votes through the use of money.
The same methods of intimidation
aad blackmail are being employed to
drive Democrats into the Flinn Insur
! gent pen and afterward lead them as
i so many Bheep in any direction that
Flinn and Martin may determine.
IGNORING GUFFEY.
Through promise or expectation of
■ getting place in the event of Bryan's
election, not a few Democrats implicit
] ly obeyed Guffey in the last combina
tion which the Democrats made with
the insurgents. Gulfey has now noth
ing in the way of patronage to hold up
for the Democratic members. They are
all in a position to think and act for
themselves, and they are evidently go
ing to do that very thing.
Many of them have legislation need
ed by their respective localities, which
they want to have passed at this ses
sion of the legislature, and they recog
nize the fact that in order to get the
votes to pass their bills they must act
judiciously, and not blindly follow the
directions of Col. Guffey or any one
else.
The regular Republicans will un
questionably control the appointments
of the committees of both the senate
and the house, and the Democrats who
want to be potential In this session of
the general assembly will not necessa
rily antagonize the men who can help
them to get through what legislation
they may desire for their respective
districts or consistencies.
For these and other reasons GufTey
finds it impossible to get ilie names
of many Democrats to any pledge to
act with the insurgents.
The belief that Col. Quay will be
elected upon the first ballot is growing
among members of the legislature who
have heretofore been in doubt, and
with this feeling abroad the insurgents
and their Democratic allies will soon
find that they will cut n very small fig
ure at Harrisburg this winter.
