THIS STATE A MAGNET All Eyes Turned Toward Pennsyl vania This Fall. ROOSEVELT IS TO BE UPHELD The Solidification of the Republican Party Has Wiped Out the Union Party—Republican Campaign to Be a Hot One. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Philadelphia, June 22.—"1 am glad to see that you Republicans in Pennsyl vania are showing a solid front to the Democrats and are going to carry the state by an old-time majority this fn 11," said ex-United States Senator Ceorge S. Shoup, of Idaho, a former Pennsylvanian 'Every political leader that I have met beyond the Mississippi feels Just as 1 do," he continued. "The support of every loyal Republican state is needed at Washington, and the fact that there is a United States senator to elect in Pennsylvania, who must be a Repub lican, adds interest to this year's tight." "No Pennsylvania Republican can visit Washington as 1 have done and meet Republicans from all parts of the country without being impressed with the same general interest manifested in our approaching campaign. This is due to the desire lo see national pros perity continued through the unselfish support and continuation of our pres ent Republican administration." WHAT PENROSE SAID. Pennsylvania, ttirougn tier represen tatives in the house and senate, has given unwavering support to President Roosevelt. The fteling in Pennsylva nia, and her duty under existing cir cumstances, was most ably expressed by Senator Penrose in nn interview in the Philadelphia Press of last Tue« day. Senator Penrose said: "So far as the state of Pennsylvania is concerned 1 know the people are heartily for Roosevelt. It was the Philadelphia and Pennsylvania delega tion in the National Republican Con vention of 1900 that made his nomina tion lor vice president, and while it may be that he was not then particu larly anxious for that office, yet it was the action of the Pennsylvanians that made him president in the end, how ever unexpected thnt result was at the time. The Pennsylvania State Conven tion has indorsed him for re no mi nation and Kansas and Minnesota have done likewise. ROOSEVELT'S ALL RIGHT. "Mr. Roosevelt has adhered in the main to his first pledge to continue McKlnley's policy." continued Senator Penrose. "Our great prosperity has continued uninterrupted notwithstand ing the president's assassination. The great mass of the American people will want this condition to be continued undisturbed, and ttie only assurance that this will be done is by continuing the present Republican administration of the government, the achievements of which have been so brilliant In the last six years. Unless many great mis takes are made In the next two years public sentiment is nol likely to change on this point." Pennsylvania should be proud of her Republican representatives in congress in the recent crisis. They appreciated the situation and were fully equal to it. Senators Quay and PenrrSe is the senate, and the congressmen in the house, led by Dalzell and the venerable Grow, never halted in their allegiance to the administration, while other Re publicans, not appreciating the situa tion in its gravity, failed to hold up the hands of President Roosevelt, and in many instauces opposed the policy of the party. GETTING THE COLD SHOULDBR. The aftermath of this action is now being shown. In Michigan four Repub lican members of congress, who were conspicuous in their opposition to the administration, have been unceremoni ously rejected by their constituents and refused a re-nomination. Senator Dietrich, of Nebraska, who was one of the leaders In opposition to Cuban leci procity, has been subjected to a Terit- Ahle frost since his return to Omaha lie attended a meeting of the Repub lican committee and not only was his welcome a chilly one, but his sugges tions on party management were ig nored. Pennsylvania has no such scores to settle. Her representatives on the Re- , publican side are loyal, active, far-see- i iiig statesmen, whose ability is every- i where recognized. 1 The fitness of Judge Pennypacker for the gubernatorial chair is also every- 1 where recognized, even by Democratic J newspapers outside the state, 'ihe , Washington Star, Independent Demo- , < rat, which has been hostile to Senator < Quay and the Republicans of Pennsyl- i vania, commented on the work of the I Republican State Convention as fol- 112 lows, at the same time acknowledging that Pennypacker would be elected: A DEMOCRATIC ENDORSEMENT. "The Republican nominee for gov ernor deserves and commands there- , spect of the best men in the common wealth regardless of party. He accepts his party leadership with full under standing of what the occasion calls for, and his character is assurance that if elected —as he is reasonably certain to 1' be —he will exert the full influence of j the governorship toward giving the 11 people the kind of an administration , of their affairs for which for some years they have been clamoring. Judge Pennypacker may be accepted as a leader under whose banner men of highest ambitions for the state may tight with pleasure and confidence.' In the light of this admission from Democratic sources, it is interesting to note the attitude of tie Democracy in Pennsylvania at the present time. Here in Philadelphia it is an open secret that former Judge James Gay Gordon is not only opposed to Pattison, but that he is going to knife him when the time comes. City Chairman Donnelly is particularly bitter against Governor Pattison. Colonel J. M. Guffey, the state leader of the Democracy, tried to get these warring foes together at Erie. He sent for Donnelly, and when the latter came to the door Colonel Guffey went to meet him and invited him to enter. But Donnelly drew back on the threshold. He caught a glimpse of ex-Governor Pattison inside, and said: "You cannot get me into a room where that man is. Colonel Guffey. 1 will not have anything to do with him." DEMOCRATS ARE FIGHTING. On the surface Chairman Donnelly and his friends are supporting Patti son. Privately they are expressing ha tred for him. On the other hand, the Republicans of Philadelphia are thor oughly united. There are no Inde pendents, Insurgents or Stalwarts; tney are all Republicans, wnnoiit any divid ing line whatever. All differences nave been wiped out except in the case of a few disappointed office-seekers who are without a following. The Union party is only a shadow of its former self. In Philadelphia it is practically out of existence. Speaking of the Union party and its present con dition, the Philadelphia Press, the for mer Independent organ, says: THE UNION PARTY DEAD. "The opinion of a good number of the active Unionists of last year is that the Union party is not destined to cut much of a figure in the future poli tics of Pennsylvania. They point to the fact that the great strength of the party last year was in Philadelphia, where the candidates on the Union ticket polled almost 100,000 votes. The new party was strong then because of the public indignation over the turning down of District Attorney Rothermel. "There is nearly nothing left of the Union party in Philadelphia today. Not only the ward organizations but the city organization has practically been abandoned. In fact, there was little left of any part of the organiza tion here last spring, when the Union candidate for magistrate received less than 25,000 votes." The secretary of the Republican State Committee, Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, who was in Philadelphia to day, said: "The campaign this year will be a very vigorous one. I am on my way home to take a rest for ten days or two weeks, and expect to return to Phila delphia about the 14th of August, and open headquarters. By the Ist of Sep tember, when Senator Quay will re turn, I shall have everything in work ing order for him to begin operations. I understand that the Democrats are boasting that they expect to make a whirlwind campaign this fall. The Re publican campaign will be a cyclone compared to which the Democratic at tempt will be a mere puff of not air " It will be a great forward step in the progress of humanity when all come to see that churches and religious services are not for the saving of their souls, the getting to heaven after death, but are for the schooling and inspiring those souls for the service of man in the life that now is and for the strengthening within them of the sense of God, the ever present iullueuee that makes for peace in the heart and good will toward man.—Rev. David Utter, Unitarian, Denver. Insufficiency of Creed*. Creeds sometimes are aimed at other creeds. They arc often born in doc trinal speculations and nurtured in sec tional prejudices. Made by theologians, they require interpretation by profess ors of divinity. Niceties of doctrinal discrimination are not appreciated by the average layman. He knows that sin is here. He sees lust holding high carnival in all of the departments of life. He asks for a remedy. Surely there must be one. God has supplied every earthly need of the race. The father has certainly provided better things for the soul. A cold theological deliverance does not satisfy the hunger of that which is highest and holiest la man. Creeds have not the drawing power of the physician's plaster. They afford little relief from the misery and wretchedness of a sinful life.—Rev. D_r. J. W. Crutcher, Christian, St Loui*. LdMt Ii the Hnce, Puiposefulness is the secret of at tainment. The purposeless man is lost in tlie race, whether that race bo for things material or spiritual.—Rev. John L.
