BARNETT WAS ELECTED STATE TREASURER BY 92,417 MAJORITY OVER ALL THB VOTES CAST FOR THE DEMOCRATIC AND PROHIBI TION CANDIDATES. In 1900, John Wanamaker, with Major McKinley, Republican candidate for President, and with every loyal Republican Pennsylvanian seeking to cement the party lines and roll up as large a majority as possible, traveled the state night and day preaching the doctrine of party treaehery and advo cating the election of Democrats and bolting Republicans running on Fu sion tickets for the legislature, which the Republicans of the entire union were eager to have elect a Republican to the United States senate, with the control of the United States senate then in serious doubt. As in the cont 3t of two years be fore, money was spent lavishly from the Wanamaker headquarters to defeat regularly nominated Republican can didates for the legislature. In 1898, the Wanamaker-Democratlc-Fusion campaign had succeeded in deadlock ing the legislature by a combination supported by the followers of John Wanamaker and James M. Guffey, the member of the Democratic National committee from Pennsylvania. It was the hope of Wanamaker and Guffey that enough Republican candidates for the legislature would be defeated to make it knpossible to elect the choice of the Republican caucus for the Uni ted States senatorship. DESPITE JOHN WANAMAKERS OPPOSITION THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE, JAMBS S. BEACOM, WAS ELECTED STATE TREASURER BY A PLURALITY OF 129,717. In 1898 John Wanamaker was a can didata for the Republican nomination for governor for Pennsylvania, but when he saw defeat was inevitable, withdrew in favor of another minority candidate. When the Hon. William A. Stone, at that time received the nomination fcr governor, John Wana maker stumped the state against the 'Republican organization and i-n the closing days of the canvass his follow ers turned in for the election of George A. .lenks, the Democratic candidate. DESPITE JOHN WANAMAKER'S OPPOSITION HON. WILLIAM A. STONE, THE REPUBLICAN NOMI NEE, WAS ELECTED GOVERNOR BY A PLURALTY OF 117,906. FOUGHT A BRAVE SOLDIER. In 1899, John Wanamaker opposed the election of Colonel James E. Bar nett., the Republican nominee for state treasurer, a brave soldier, who had Just returnee* from the Philippines in command of the famous "Fighting" Tenth Pennsylvania regiment. Throughout this campaign John Wanamaker traveled in a special car from county to county doing every thing in his power to aid in the elec '.ton of William T. Creasy, the Demo cratic nominee for state treasurer, a llourbon Democrat of the most ramp ant type, and at present chairman of the Democratic state committee. REPUBLICANS ARE AGGRESSIVE. The leaders of the Republican or ganization challenge John Wanamaker to come out into the open and give to * the citizens of Philadelphia reasons why the Republican nominee for dis trict attorney, John Weaver, should not be elected, and why his private counsel. Mr. Rothermel, should be re tained in the office for another term, and to the people of the state why any Republican should now desert his party's standard-bearers. The party loaders have every con fidence in the loyalty and patriotism of the Republicans of Pennsylvania. The recent sad taking off of our beloved President has cast a shadow of sorrow and gloom over the whole country. In this Gibraltar of Republicanism the thoughts of every loyal Republi can naturally go out toward the strengthening of the hands of the new President and the giving of assurance that Republican Pennsylvania vehem ently condemns the dastardly work of those who helped to spread the dam nable doetrine of anarchy or sought to stay the hands of those who would Ujrottle disciples of violence and as sassination. It is the confident belief of the Re nublican leaders that when the alec- tion returns shall be received on the night of November 5, next, the (rand old Quaker City and glorious Key atone state at large will be found to have recorde-J an unprecedented ma jority for each of the candidates upon the Republican ticket, and thus em phasize to the world the fact that the Republicans of Pennsylvania are still true to the party of Sumner, Lincoln, Grant, Blaine. Garfield and McKinley, and will give undivided support to the administration of President Roosevelt, upon whose shoulders the burdens of government have been .placed.
