A ID 1101' CAMPAIGN Judge PennypacV ßesigns Office to Goon the Stump. A GREAT BAND OF SPELLBINDERS Pattison Is Dodging the Free Silver Issue, and Refuses to Meet W. J. Bryan—What State Newspapers Say of the Rival Candidates. (From Our Own Correspondent.") Philadelphia, July 29.—Pennsylvania is to witness the liveliest kind of a campaign this Fall, indeed from indi cations it will be the liveliest campaign the Commonwealth has ever seen. .fudge Pennepacker has left the Bench for the express purpose of participating in the canvass. His resignation is in the hands of the Governor and he will leave the Bench on August Ist. He will take the stump about six weeks before the election in November. There will be associated with him the greatest company of spell-binders that ever travelled the state. It has not been settled definitely as to who will compose the Pennypacker party, but among the names mentioned are those of Senator Penrose, Assistant United States District Attorney Jas. M. Beck, Ex-Postmaster Charles Emory Smith, Ex-Governors Hastings and Beaver, Attorney General John P. Elk ins. Adjutant General Thomas J. Stew art! General Jas. Latta, Hampton L. Carson, George S. Graham and possibly United States Senator Chauncey M. De pew. The Democrats are going to put a band of spell-binders on the road that will represent the best speakers in their party. It naturally follows that Ex-Governor Robert E. Pattison will head the combination. Other mem bers of the party will be Ex-Attorney General W. U. Hensel, Congressman Henry F. Green, Congressman J. K. P. Hall, George W. Guthrie, candidate for lieuteant governor; Hon. W. F. Har rity, Hon. George A. Jenks and State Chairman Wm. T. Creasey. PATTISON RUNS FROM BRYAN. As to the issues that will be dis cussed it can positively be asserted that the Democratic candidate for governor will not discuss National issues nor Republican prosperity. He Is very much afraid of those subjects at the present time. Mr. Pattison is ashamed of Wm. Jenning Bryan whose ardent admirer he was four years ago. A very funny incident attended the appearance of Wm. J. Bryan in Philadelphia last week. Bryan was on his way to Allen town to address a Democratic meeting. When he reached Philadelphia there was not a corporal's guard of Demo crats to meet him. Evei. prominent Democrat in the city had run away. Robert E. Pattison, Democratic can didate for governor, was the most con spicuous among the missing. He made it convenient to be in New York when Bryan arrived in Philadelphia. Democratic City Chairman Charles E. Donnelly and Commissioner Thos. J. Ryan were also among the absent ones. Judge Gordon could'nt be expected to meet Mr. Bryan because he had op posed him, and so the up-shot was that the late Democratic candidate for the Presidency encountered a "freeze-out." Naturally he was very indignant, and when he spoke to the Lehigh County Democrats that night he declined to mention the name of Ex-Governor Pat tison or even invite his hearers to vote the Democratic ticket in Pennsylvania. WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS SAY. The Republican newspapers of the state, both stalwart and independent, have been devoting considerable edi torial space to an outline of what can didates Pennypacker and Pattison will discuss. The York Daily Dispatch, heretofore a leading Independent Re publican newspaper cleverly puts the matter as follows: "Ex-Governor Pattison, It is under stood, will not discuss national affairs on the stump in Pennsylvania, but as he is booked to open the campaign in Illinois in September he will be per mitted to shout for tariff reform and the unlimited and independent coinage of silver at the dishonest ration of 16 to 1. Of course he will take a whack at the way the Republicans have acted in the Phillipines, and denounce ex pansion—in Illinois, but he will be as silent as a clam in Pennsylvania on such subjects. "On the other hand Judge Penny packer has boldly declared that he will discuss local issues and national issues. The Republican party is again united, »nd the Republican nominee, after he reaches the Governor's chair, will man fully carry out his ante-election prom ises, and impress upon the Senate and House that a proper ballot law and oth er reforms must be enacted." PATTISON IN ILLINOIS. The Franklin "Repository" of Cham bersburg, in pretty much the same strain has this to say: "Mr. Pattison is booked by the Dem ocratic State Committe of Illinois to open the campaign in that state early in September, and as Pattison is pre cluded from discussing national poli tics in Pennsylvania, this will afford him an opportunity of telling the De mocracy of Illinois that when Cleve land and Hill, and Whitney and Gen eral Palmer balked, he stood resolutely for the Kansas City platform—tariff re form and the unlimited and indepen dent coinage of silver at the dishonest ratio of 16 to 1. "In the meantime while Pattison is studying how he may make a canvass for Governor and avoid touching upon any issue of vital importance to the nation. Judge Pennypacker is prepar ing to resign his judicial office in ordet that he may take the stump In advo cacy of all that the Republican party Mite National and State platform stands for. "Judge Pennypacker will not falter on any of the leading issues of the day, and especially will he stand up for his party in its acquisition of the territory of Alaska, Hawaii. Porto Rico and the Philippines. He knows that under the aegis of the American flag the ignor ant. pitiable, half-civilized creatures of the Phillipines will be raised to a high level of citizenship." A characteristic side light was thrown on Judge Pennypacker when a Phila delphia reporter called on him In con nection with the announcement of his retirement from the bench, and re quested an interview. The Judge de clined to be interviewed saying: "1 do not deem it consistent with my judiciary position to be interviewed fot publication, particularly on political subjects. Of course I am a candidate for office, but 1 am still on the bench, and this fact precludes any discussion of politic or policies. After the first of August 1 will bo a private citizen, in the sense that I will be no longer In office, and then I will be in a position to discuss any proper subject." Insurance Commissioner Durham, Republican leader of Philadelphia, said: "Republican campaign speakers this fall have plenty of material ready tc hand. That Democratic re-union at Nantasket Beach furnishes material, to my mind, for a dozen speeches. If the Democratic, leaders can ruin our present prosperity to their political ad vantage they would do it in a moment. Take Senator Camack's utterances as a sample. He openly threatened revo lution against present industrial con ditions. That is Democratic policy. Mr. Pattison himself was a vigorous advocate of the ruinous policy of 16 to 1. The people of Pennsylvania want no such theorists to direct their affairs. Pennsylvania Republicans are standing together this year as they have not done for years, simply because they know that any other policy would en courage the Democrats, and Democratic success means industrial revolution and a hold up on our national prosperity.' A SENATOR FROM PENNSYLVANIA Hs Works Haider Than Any Average Business Man In the State. The bulk of Pennsylvania's busi ness in Washington rests on the broad shoulders of Senator Boies Penrose. The junior Senator has al ways borne this burden. It is an heri tage of the office. Quay did it when Cameron was the senior Senator, and Penrose does it now that Quay is his senior. Here are a few statistics and facts about the junior Senator's daily work when congress is in session: His daily mail averages between 400 and 500 letters. It embraces every thing from the prayer of a broken hearted mother whose soldier son has been court martialed and for whom she is begging a pardon, down to the request of a farmer for an agricultural bulletin on the destruction of plant lice. Every mail is a mixture of tear stained epistles, begging, threatening, demanding and commending letters. Every letter is answered within twenty-four hours of its receipt. Peo ple imagine that Senator Penrose's private secretary attends to all the business of his office, while the Sen ator does nothing but make speeches and sit in the cloak rooms. That is a dream of the canal boat era. To attend to correspondence, file and tab ulate it, so that any letter received within five years can be produced in five minutes, requires the services of an assistant to the secretary and four stenographers. The rooms of the Committe on im migration is Senator Penrose's office. Here he receives hundreds of callers every day. Secretary Andrews is in charge and here letters and telegrams are dictated. The actual work room is over in the Maltby building, where all day the "clack" of the typewriters goes ceaselessly on. There are the docu ments, maps, plans, seeds, and other impedimenta of senatorial life are fold ed, wrapped and expressed. Four persons are engaged in this. In addition, two men are constantly employed in visiting the departments and gathering information in which constituents are interested. In all a staff of eight persons is required to at tend to his purely clerical and depart mental work. Senator Penrose has the reputation in Washington of being the hardest worked member of the United States Senate. His duties are executive rath er than legislative, as these facts dem onstrate: Pennsylvania is larger than New England with its 12 Senators, and the records of the Senate post office shows that the mail of Pennsylvania's Senators is the largest that goes through the office with the single ex ception of Senator Hanna's, and he is thairinan of the Republican National Committee. Senator Penrose has distributed more public documents than all the New England Senators combined. Last year he had demands for 60,000 packages of seeds. Each Senator is allotted 14,000 packages. By begging from Senators whose constituents were careless, Mr. Penrose secured the whole amount de manded. At the last session Senator Penrose introduced and had passed more bills than any two Senators. Pennsylvania had more claims against the govern ment than all the rest of the United States put together. They were border raid claims, claims of the state against the National Government, of ship buil ders, armor plate makers, and the thousand and one individual claims for losses sustained. All told over 600 bills of every kind were introduced by the junior Senator.
