YOUNG REPUBLICANS AROU»ID Tl.ey Are Llninfl Up Thrau§hout Penn sylvania For Roosevelt and Deter mined to Pell a Great Vote In No vember. [Special Correspondence.] Philadelphia, Sept. 2#.—During tke list 24 hours Senator Penrose, as chairman of the Republican state com mittee, has been getting la touch with the situation In the state and he is very much gratified with what lie has learned regarding the condition of the party organization and popular senti ment In the several counties. The senator returned on Sunday from a hunting trip in British Columbia and was naturally interested in political developments during his absence. The state chairman found on his desk reports from every Republican county chairman in the state that had been made in accordance with a re quest sent out some time ago by Sec retary W. R. Andrews for a prelim inary canvass, and In every instance he had occasion to be pleased with what he read. "It Is indeed gratifying," said Chair man Penrose, "to find the men identi fied with the party organization throughout the state manifesting so Veen an Interest in the approaching election. There is every reason to be lieve that the Republican county com mitteemen and the party voters gen erally recognize the importance of our getting out a full vote in November, and that they are determined to let nothing undone to accomplish this re sult." ALI> FOR ROOSEVELT. Senator Penrose was particularly pleased with the reports regarding the convention of the State League of Re publican Clubs held at Wilkesbarre, which marked practically the opening of the state campaign, and regretted that unforeseen circumstances had prevented him from being present. The large attendance and the enthusiasm witnessed at this convention must be taken as additional evidence of the ardor with which the young Republi cans of Pennsylvania are entering in to the spirit of the campaign with a view to preparing for the presidential election of next year. They are all for Roosevelt, and they want it known that they are going to see to It that he receives the nomina tion to succeed himself in the White House. They stand solidly with tho Pennsylvania Republican organization on this Issue. After reaffirming their fealty and de votion to the principles of Republican ism. as set forth in the state and na tional platforms of the party and in dorsing the state candidates, the club men declared: "We give our most cordial indorse ment to the splendid administration of President Theodore Roosevelt, who so fully exemplifies and reflects our ideal of American citizenship in both private and public life, and we com mend his courageous, sound and pa triotic administration. We congratu late him on the success he has already al'ained both at home and in his for c: ;n policy, and pledge him our earn est support in his future labors in be half of our great country. "We also congratulate the people of Pennsylvania upon the safe and con servnthe administration of our state affairs, Governor Pennypacker having lilready proved himself a wise, prudent, firm and conscientious executive. "Relieving in organization, we pledge ourselves to the service of our party and our country in the battle of 1904 for the maintenance ?>f protection to American labor, a sound financial pol icy and the development of American influence for commerce and civiliza tion." MASSES ARE AROUSED. That is where the Young Republi cans of Pennsylvania stand in this cor. tost. Mnny members of the State League are farmers or business or profesional men. who take but an occasional in terest in politics, but that they are all now aroused to the importance of the campaign cannot be questioned. The sentiments of the Republicans of Northampton were eloquently ex pressed a f«w days ago by their county convention, which among other things ■•t forth: "The general prosperity of the coun try, which has been realized from the Republican tariff laws based upon the cardinal principle of protection, must not be disturbed by vicious tariff tin kering, whicb is threatened by the Democratic party in its usual disposi tion to lead the country into the chan nels of free trad* and commercial de presslon. "That the administration of Presi dent Roosevelt, in its true Americaa isan. its great achievements, its ad vanced patriotism, is worthy of our highest commendation, and we proudly recognize the wisdom of placing in his hands the standard of the Republican party as its leader in the presidential contest of 1904. "The administration of Governor Pennypacker deserves the unqualified commendation of the people of the commonwealth, and we especially con gratulate the people of the common wealth upon the passage of the "good roads law," whereby a considerable portion of the revenues of the state are devoted to the construction of im proved state highways." Fr«e Trade "Prosperity." Hunt's Merchants' Magazine for June, 1852, after discussing the"reign of panic and distrust," prints the fol lowing: DEPRESSION IN THE SHOE MANU FACTURE. The depression, it is stated ill the New buryport (Mass.) Herald, which has weighed heavily upon all our other manu factures for two or three years past had at last reached the shoe business, and among: the departures for California were many who hail been thrown out of business in this department of industry. We tlnd, so far ns our inquiries extend that the reduction of wages in the shoe manufacture, in all branches except the first class of work, is 30 per cent. We And that shoes which last year workmen obtained 10 or 12 cents a pair for making are now made at 6 to 8 cents, those for which employers formerly paid 15 and IT cents they now pay 10 or 12 cents, and those for which SO cents was formerly paid are now made for 20 to 2S cents. There are a great many journeymen shoe makers now employed on ordinary work, twelve to fifteen hours a day, who earn less than 50 cents n day. It is a significant contrast to $2 and $3 given now for elglit to ton hours of work, with a tariff on liidcs, too. Bryan and the Bunkoera. Mr. Bryan recently declared that tlie Democratic party "bunkoed" the coun try when W elected Mr. Cleveland in 18V>2. This is probably true, but what ever doubts there may be on that sub ject there Is no question that Mr. Bry an himself is innocent "112 the bunko act. When he was inclined to assume the role of "Hungry Joe" in 1800 and again in 1900 the people generously as sisted him in resisting the temptation —San Diego Union. Thus far Mr. Bryan lias not suggest ed a presidential candidate whom his party has received with favor. Al bany Evening Journal. Bryan lias met two political Water loos in the past seven years, yet he is the liveliest Democrat in the mess.— Kingwood (W. Va.) Journal. The western papers controvert the eastern notion that because Bryan is losing followers they are shifting to ward Cleveland. Rather, it is stated they are going into the Republican par ty.—Lakota (N. D.) Observer. Mr. Bryan's personal prosperity is being so much commented on that there is danger of his party's esteem ing him rather as a possible contrib utor to campaign funds than as a sug gester of ideas.—Washington Star. Colonel "Bull-in-a-china-sliop" Bryan is engaged in a diligent effort to prove the unfitness of all the prominent as pirants for the Democratic nomination to the presidency—and he's succeeding pretty well too.—Donaldsonvllle (La.)
