Hon. F. A. Godcharles, candidate for

The Shamokin News says,"ln < iodcliarles
I lie Republicans have a candidate worthy

incss man and has the gilt of orator*
necessary to a representative. Mr, < >o<l

the laboring classes and the voters of tlu
district knows this."
The Miltoniau says,"The college stud
cut can vote for him because he is ti
scholar and a. graduate. The soldiers oi
recent wars can vote for him Because he
enlisted for the Spanish war. The veter
tins of 18(10 can vote for him because his
lather is a survivor and was a good soldier
The employer of labor can vote for him
because he is one of them. The laborei
ian vote for him because he washes the
grime of the factory from his person each
day, and thus know ing their wants car
legislate for their interests. The Sons oi
Veterans can vote for him because he if
one of their most active members. The
young men of the district can vole for hin.
and thus open up an avenue to lead them>
selves to place. The old can vote for him
because lie is a ready debator, a conserv
alive business man —and a man without
a harmful habit. Everybody can voti
for him, and should, because lie would
be a credit to the district and an honor to
the House.
Responsibilities of Possession.
With possession comes responsibility.
Ability and responsibility arc insepa
rable neighbors. Our rich men give
largely lu tbe aggregate, but meanly
In proportion to their wealth. The
poor make sacrifices to give to the
church. There is nothing of sacrifice
in the gifts of tbe rich. They forget
their wealth is God's and that they
nre but the stewards of bis bounty.
Wben they give in proportion to their
wealth na the poor give in proportion
to their possessions, every treasury of
the Lord will be full, and all over tbe
world there will be somewhat of a fore
taste of heaven in the palaces of the
rich and the hovels of the poor.—Rev.
Dr. Mac Arthur, Baptist, New York.
Sarredness of All Callings.
The man who sees clearly that he
was born for a commercial life and de
votes himself to business, the man who
makes the law his life work or medi
cine or teaching or agriculture or car
pentering. is under as holy an obliga
tion as I am to make his calling a min
istry of sacrifice and service.—ltev. Dr.
Frank H. Rowley, Baptist, Boston.
PUNS FOR CAMPAIGN j
Senator Quay Temporarily An Inva
lid at the Seashore.
URGED FOR NATION AL CHAIRM AN
Democratic Newspapers Vainly Try
ing to Make Votes By Misrepresen
tation—Republicans Are Presenting
a Solid Front to the Enemy.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
Philadelphia. Aug. 12.— Contrary to
expectation, State Chairman Senator
Quay dirt not take charge of heart
quarters here in Philadelphia yester
day. He is sitting in a second-story
front room of an Atlantic City cot
tage. with his right foot swathed in
banrtages and resting on a chair. It
will he at least a week or ten days
before he will he able to abandon this
position.
The senator is suffering from a
painful but not serious burn. The
whole top of the right foot is blistered
and a hole buritftd into the flesh. He
was about to take a foot bath in a
smooth porcelain tub with four fau
cets. In the semi-darkness of the
room he turned on the hot water and
could not get out of the way of the
boiling torrent quick enough.
It was announced several weeks
ago that Senator Quay would take
charge of Republican state headquar
ters about September 1. He started
for the Maine woods to recuperate and
fish, but found the streams swollen
and the laurt marshy. Then he tried
to compromise on the Adirondacks,
but the raw air threatened a return
of his old cough, and he came down
to Atlantic and rented a cottage.
From here he will take up his resi
dence in Philadelphia till Penny
packer is elected.
An interesting piece of gossip has
been floating around Washington the
last few days. It is that President
Roosevelt is strongly disposed to urge
Senator Quay for national chairman.
There is a very logical basis for this
story, too.
QUAY FOR NATIONAL CHAIRMAN
If President Roosevelt is nominat
ed, and he is certain to be according
to the belief of Senator Quay, Sena
tor Hanna will not care to serve as
national chairman, although his per
sonal relations with the president are
perfectly harmonious and pleasant.
Besides, Senator Hanna's Health is
not good.
The New England contingent want
to make Governor William Murray
Crane, of Massachusetts, Hanna's suc
cessor. The western people are
clamoring for Senator Dolllver, of
lowa, a young man like the president
himself. The older hearts in the party
are looking for a man of ideas and
experience combined, and they have
seclected Quay.
Of course it is a long way ahead
yet, and a great deal of the talk
about a national chairman is largely
speculative, but that Senator Quay is
being urged for the place by men
like Piatt and Kean, of New Jersey,
contingent always on the dropping
out of Hanna, is a fact. Quay's com
bination with Piatt put Roosevelt, on
the ticket with McKinley. His mag
nificent management of the first Har
rison campaign made him nationally
famous, and it is perfectly logical
now that he.should be urged for na
tional chairman two years hence.
PATTISON ORGANS IN A HQLE.
"The hardest blow that the Demo
crats have sustained," said a Pitts
burg visitor to state headquarters
yesterday,"was the action of the
Citizens party leaders in Pittsburg in
placing the name of Pennypacker and
the other state candidates on their
ticket. The Democrats in Allegheny
county expected to have Pattison
endorsed by the Citizens party.
This would have been a big
carrt for Pattison all over the
state, but the Citizens party leaders,
all of whom are Republicans, decided
to fall in with all the other Republicans
of the state and stand by the colors."
The Democratic newspapers of the
state are following out a plan of battle
by which they hope to direct attention
away from their own demoralized con
dition. It consists in claiming that the
Republican party is still rent by dis
sentions and that a cut-throat policy is
to be pursued by the dissatisfied. This
is all bosh! It is a wail of despair!
INDEPENDENTS ALL HACK HOME.
The interview with Ex-Postmaster
Oeneral Charles Emery Smith publish
ed last week in these dispatches set
tled such rumors. He was one of the
most conspicuous Independents in the
state. Others like Ex-Governor Hast
ings, Senator Alex. Stewart, of Frank
lin; Senator Drury, of Luzerne; Sena
tor Robert W. Edmiston, of Bradford;
Senator Hampton W.Rice,of Bucks.are
all supporting Pennypacker. And yet
they were in the fore-front of Indepen
dent battles for years along with Rep
resentative rAibert K.Young.of Tioga;
James Clarency and Ellas Abraras, of
Philadelphia, all the Allegheny county
delegates, the Bradford county dele
gation and representatives from a
score of other counties who are now
firmly fastened by loyalty within party
lines.
As for the Independent newspapers
in the state there is not one that is not
supporting the whole Republican tick
et. This includes such conspicuous
daily journals as the Philadelphia
"Press," the Wilkesbarre "Record," the
York "Dispatch" and a hundred nnd
more interior daily and weekly journ
als whose influence has always been

felt on which ever side they took their
stand.
All talk of Republican dissatisfaction
is too puerile to merit consideration.
Scars are inevitable in politics, lhere
was never a time when some one did
not carry them. There are fewer this
year tiian for eight years past. The
leaders who differed with the organiza
tion in the last state convention are
now foremost in lighting the common
enemy,
PLANS FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
Secretaryof thoState Committee Col.
W. R. Andrews is busy 011 the work of
preparing for the campaign tour of
Judge Pennypacker and his company of
spell-binders. The calls for all over
the state for a Visit from this distin
guished party are growing so numerous
that it is going to be quite a job to sat
isfy everybody. Hut Col. Andrews is
possessed of such ability as a manager
that all parties are pretty sure to be
satisfied. The attempt will be made
to reach every county in the state.
The first great gun of the campaign
will be fired at the Academy of Music
on or about Sept. 10. Judge Penny
packer will be the star. The make-up
of the campaigning party has not yet
been completed. The speakers will
work in relays or shifts. Some will re
main with Judge Pennypacker to the
end; others will go out on the road for
two or three weeks only.
Among those who will make up the
list are Major 1. B. Brown, candidate
for secretary of internal affairs; ex-
Senator W. M. Brown, candidate for
lieutenant governor; Senator Penrose,
Ex-Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith, Governor W. A. Stone, Con.
gressmen M. E. Olmstead, Thad. Ma
han, Irving P. Wanger, John Dalzell.
H. H. Bingham, Assistant Attorney
General of the 11. S. James M. Beck.
Attorney General John P. Elkins. Ex-
District Attorney George S. Graham of
Philadelphia; Hampton M. Carson,
Esq., and J llO. P. Kinsey, Esq., city so
licitor of Philadelphia; J. Hampton
Moore, city treasurer of Philadelphia;
Ex-Governor Daniel H. Hastings, Al
bert Miller, district attorney of Harris
burg, and possibly a number of speak
ers. members of congress who are now
giving the invitation consideration.
Never before in the history of the
state committee's work has there been
so much interest displayed by county
leaders in any campaign as the present
Secretary Andrews thus early in the
canvass is fairly swamped with work
often remaining at his desk till mid
night and double the number of sten
ographers usually employed at this
time are now at work.

to abandon even a semf-week'ly visit

have been the number of visitors and
demands from correspondents.
"It shows how greatly the people are
interested in this year's campaign,"
said Senator Penrose. "Republican
prosperity is not a theory, but an es
tablished, self-evident fact, and every
body wants it to continue. It can only
be continued by Republican activity,
and Republican activity in Pennsylva
nia this year is going to result in one
of the greatest victories the state lias
ever known."
The calls for literature of all kinds
are very numerous. These will bo an
swered. Secretary Andrews says, in a
perfectly satisfactory manner. The
committee is having a hand-book pro
pared which will be placed i:i the pos
session of ev: 1 ry work; r. and :i will
be one of the most comprehensive
works of its kind ev;>r published.
