HE HOTST I' rpublican State Chairman Address es County Committeemen. 6KIRMISH OF NATIONAL FIGHT Widespread Significance of the Pres ent Canvass In Pennsylvania and the Influence of Its Result On the Approaching Presidential Campaign. [Special Correspondenca] Philadelphia, Oct. 6.—Chairman Pen rose, In an address to the members of the Republican county committees throughout the state, has just sounded "a call to- arms" to every active Re publican of the commonwealth in an urgent request to begin active work for the entire Republican ticket and rxpressing the hope that this activity v.ill not cease until the polls are closed on election day. The Republican field marshal dwells upon the importance of the contest and makes it clear that this campaign is but the skirmish of the national struggle which is to take place next year. CHAIRMAN'S CALL TO ACTION. Following is a copy of the address which is being mailed to the uounty committeemen by Chairman Penrose: 'Your name has been sent me by your county chairman as having been selected by the Republican voters of your election district to represent theni on the county committee, and at'ter congratulating you upon the honor conferred to represent such an intelligent body of voters I beg to im press Mpom you that the contest this year is the opening skirmish of the great battle to be fought next year, when a president and vice president are to be chosen, also representatives in congress and members of the general assembly. "It is therefore desirable, on account of the effect it will have upon next year's contest, that every Republican voter have impressed Hpon him the importance of the present contest and the necessity for him to take an active part in the campaign and that that activity be not allowed to cease until the last Republican vote in his dis trict has been polled on election day. "This course is suggested particu larly, as a large and emphatic majority will be considered throughout the na tion as the indorsement of Pennsylva nia of the splendid administration of President Roosevelt and the desire that the same be continued. ' PENNSYLVANIA IS POTENTIAL. "As a matter of fact the utterances of the Republicans of Pennsylvania, as reflected through the ballotbox, have great weight in the declarations con tained in the platforms adopted at Re publican national conventions. "Therefore an overwhelming major ity in Pennsylvania this year will be considered as Pennsylvania's voice in behalf of the continuance of the pres ent era of prosperity and an emphatie protest against any and all attempts at i;.:iff tinkering—in other words, such a verdict will be accepted to mean that Pennsylvania is in favor of leaving '•veil enough alone,' a policy which. If pursued, will prevent business disturb ances and the consequent inaugura tion of the period of depression which usually prevails during presidential years. "I assume that you can readily un derstand the occasion for the activity suggested herein and that I can rely upon you for prompt, energetic and painstaking work. "I further suggest that you keep in touch with your county chairman, in forming him regarding the situation in your district and be guided by his In structions. "I will add for y«ur further informa tion that reports from all parts of the state point to a great victory In No vember next for the 'party of posper ity,' and you can rely upon it that such will be the result if the Republicans of the state display their usual activity. "BOIES PENROSE, Chairman." SIGNS THAT POINT TO VICTORY. There has been much activity at the Republican state headquarters since Senator Penrose's return from his va cation trip. Many of the county lead ers have been into confer with him about party matters and others who take an interest in the party organisa tion have called to show their interest in me campaign and to volunteer their ioslstanee. The fact that in many of the coun ties the matter of congressional and legislative nominations is now being discussed brings up prominently the tact that next year will be a very im portant one instate and national pol itics and that the outcome of next month's eleotion must necessarily have a bearing upon the outlook for Repub lican success next year. Since Senator Penrose got back Sec retary Andrews has had more time to devdte to the correspondence bureau, and it Is fortunate that lie has, for there has been a flood of letters re ceded at headquarters at every mail bwmi<ng apon the state campaign. This is regarded as a very signifi cant feature of the canvass, for when hlie me-mUers of the county commit tees will take the pains to write t« headquarters regarding the sentiment and the eutiook in thoir respective eiectioa 4te»rk4s it is a swre indication that the party workers are aroused t« th'air dirty and fehat th»j- will leave nothing undone to bring out a full Republican vote at the uetMing elec tion. Fully a majority ef the members ef the last ksgislafetwe have haen tn rtwded amonj the callow at the head quarters slnee Senator Penrose's re turn, asud tliey all agree that the record of the last session of the general as sembly in the liberal appopriations to the public schools, the large suras of money set aside for tho improvement of the public roads and the other meritorious measures which were passed and approved by Governor Pen nypacker has aiet with popular ap proval. A Free Tradrr'a Admimtion. There are times when the most per sistent antiproteetlonist temporarily abandons his rok> and becomes enthu siastic over the wonderful industrial and commercial record of the T'nbtod States, attained uiuh-r tihe operation of the protective tariff. After referring to the figures of exports of articles and of artiolrs sent abroad tost year the Pittsburg IVist saya^ "The foundation of our prosperity present and prospective, rests on tlie continuous demand that there always must be for these articles and groujis af nrHcles. This enforces the fact that the fabric of our export trade Bests on broad and deep foundations, for In this great trade we are not dealing in the luxuries and superfluities, but in the Hecessanies, of life. The tilings we produce the world must have, and we cannot be boycotted. The fifteen hun dred' millions of oHr exports of farm products and manufactures stand for the grerwt staples of tlx' world's ettm merce and trade. Cotton and food stuffs are kings, ami we are adding to their supMMiutejr all the time by our exports imd niamifaet linos." Tho freie teadean hare all along de clared vehemently that the foundation of our prosperity depends upon im ports-; that an excess of imports oror exports made a balanoe of trade In o«r favjor; that we coul'd never prosper un til we should "tUrow down the tariff" tsii'Biers." It is encouraging to find a Democratic organ Indorsing the Re.pub lieu 11 tariff' policy and proclaiming its fruitß.—Haw.lsbnrg Telegraph. Net a i'lt'RNiint Picture. If by any mischance the Democratic party should win in 1004 and if Demo cratic heresies were to have the sway they did under the second Cleveland administration and if the result should lie half as disastrous to the party as it was then, then IJryan would become a demigod instead of a demagogue in the estimation of many people, and we might look for another visitation of Populism. Then this country would present a case of mental confusion compared with which bedlam itself would bo a plnce of serene and com placent self control. Marion (Ind.)
