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.)
