[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.)
Chief.
William Jennings Bryan stiil contin
ues to hurl his Jovian thunderbolts at
Democratic bolters. Yet, strange to
say, in every speech he makes he hold*
out the inference that he and all liie
followers will bolt the Democratic tick
et if the reorganizes frame the plat
form and nominate the ticket—T«rr<
