HE TO "STAND PAT' Democrats' Always Seek Encourage ment In "Off-Year " Campaigns. REPUBLICANS LOOK AHEAD •'arty In Pennsylvania Must Line Up With the President for Coming Con gressional Contests. {.Special Correspondence.] J iarrisburg, July 11. Republicans of Pennsylvania are go ing to "stand pat." They are going to line up again with President Roosevelt and show hiin that lie has their full confidence and sup port. Within the last 24 hours the chair men ot the Republican county commit tees throughout Pennsylvania have re ceived communications from Chair man Wesley R. Andrews, of the Re publican State committee, warning them of the danger that lies in over confidence and seeking to impress upon them the importance of perfect ing the county organizations so as to insure the polling of a large Republi can vote in November next. While it is not to be expected that Pennsylvania will, in this "off year, be able to repeat the unprecedented majority of 505.000 given Roosevelt at the presidential election, Chairman Andrews Is eager that every effort shall be made to get out a large per centage of the Republican vote so as to keep the majority under the circum stances up to the highest possible fig ures. That the chairmen and other members of county committees throughout the commonwealth intend to co-operate in this laudable work is unite manifest from the reports that are being received from every quarter of the state. The Republican organization throughout Pi r.i.sylvania is harmoni ous and aggressive and there is a dis position shown on every hand to main tain the prestige and the influence of the Pennsylvania organization in the party in the nation. Must Stand By Roosevelt. Pennsylvania is the bulwark of na tional Republicanism and any falter ing on the part of Pennsylvania Repub lican*' at the coming election which i vould result in any material decrease in the Republican majority would be taken as indicating a lack of interest and a hick of sympathy in the great policies which the Republican national administration is fathering and is en deavoring to carry out to a successful j conclusion. President Roosevelt needs the full support of Pennsylvania Republicans row as natch as he did when he was a i undidate before the people for the I resid my. He requires the moral ; ud substantial backing of the great Republican state of Pennsylvania In his magnificent undertakings. The I opponents of the national adiuinistra- | tion at home ami the Democracy 1 throughout the union would hail with J delight the news of a great falling off I in the Republican majority in Penn-; sylvitnia next fall and would herald it hs the turning of the tide from Re- j publicaniam all over the country. Pennsylvania Republicans are too: pptriii. Ie and too loyal to their party to allow anything of the kind to happen in November. They are also too practical frotu a husiii.'SH standpoint to permit that to occur No state In the union litis as much at stale as Pennsylvania in the cnniinued sutit-j of Republicanism. Her vast industrial and manufactur ing illicit.-t which have thriven uu der the policy of a protective tariff and which give employment to so many hundreds ol thousands of her I" oplo. and which have ttdded so nun It to the wealth and happiness of her ■ III'•■lis anil those of other states have been nurtured and developed under Republican administrations. Their continued prosperity depends largely up<ii the ascendency of the Republican part.v In the stale and tin- nation the Inrui IIIHJOI it lea TOR It* public,in < amikialt-i. in this siat< which have been {really due lo the activity of the ii>' other* ol the Republican coiuiuittw s in the Hcveml count lea must Is* agalli recorded at the < oming election Look Ahead to Conyrcaa- I'lii* l» i »»• mi.u that tl»« lieiii'H iat y shall no I be clilhoidtillcd to hi- kin uai a dc-pviaie bailie al uett yiais iiini.iy ntpcitaut ii'ii* P> un») I i lima li«la», with her l<« puidn uu llt< tljbrrs loth tin laigim Ueptlldli all >!•!> sat lon o| any statu iu tlte union wo the ttuui of the National ol Kepresentatives. This delegation has been a powerful factor in obtaining much needed recognition of Pennsyl nia's interests at Washington. Appropriations of great sums ot money have been secured for the deep ening of the Delaware channel, which means the ultimate completion of a harbor which wiil bring many millions annually to the port of Philadelphia, and which will directly and indirectly benefit almost every county in the state. Improvements on the Monongahel . Ohio and Allegheny rivers are now un der wky, the appropriations for which were made by congress as the result of the united efforts ol' the entire Penn sylvania delegation. It was the same influence which secured for the harbor of Erie an appropriation which is de fined to make that one oi the greates, harbors on the great lakes. These and other special considerations which come to Pennsylvania are obtained through the fact that the Republican voters of Pennsylvania have held their party organization solid and compar and have refused to be deceived by tho allurements of the men who from tim i to time have sought to encourage and support Independent political move ments to fuse with the Democracy in local or personal campaigns. Next year there will be 32 congress men to elect in Pennsylvania and tha canvass for these congressional seats Is already under way. The Democrats are eager to have the Republican vote in this state cut down this fall and are talking fusion at every opportunity. They know that they cannot elect their nominee for state treasurer this fall as well as they know anything. They know also that if by a fusion campaign for state treasurer they can lure Republicans away from their par ty candidates and their party organiza tion. or keep them from voting, they will be making their initial advances toward capturing several congressional districts in this state next year. They are aware of the fact that some of the districts which are now represented by Republican congressmen were only carried by the Republicans by small majorities, and they are looking to these districts as the battle grounds for next year's congressional cam paigning. They want the Republican vote cut down in those districts this fall, so as to encourage Democrats to get into line for the big prizes to be fought for next year. Republicans of Pennsylvania are de termined to meet every issue in the coming campaign squarely and fairly, and they have no fear of the outcome at the polls. AS KNOX VIEWS IT Republicans Competent to Take Care of Their Own Affairs. Under the caption, "Good Advice From Senator Knox," the editor of the Erie Daily Times says: "United States Senator Knox, In a brief interview on the political situa tion in Pennsylvania, stated to a Pitts burg Dispatch representative Wednes day that he did not see any reason for resorting to any reform movement to regulate any evils that may exist in the Republican party. The senator stated in a few, but well chosen words, his idea of the situation, and it was for the Republicans to take care oi their own affairs and to let the Demo crats do the same thing. "There are, of course, a good many people who call themselves reformers, but who are mostly soreheads, disap pointed aspirants for office or hopeful Democrats who are anxious for a brctk in the Republican ranks for no other reason than that they may protit there by. Senator Knox is a safe, thorough going, highly respected official, and it did not take him long to si/ up i i< situation and put it in the proper li ; -"lii before the people of this common wealth. The Republican paity >viil in tend to whatever reforms are neces sary. and there will be no disposition shown to prevent all sincere refori i and good Democrats goin;; along m ;hf hand wagon, but the leader of the band will be a Republican, and the Republi cans will attend to the necessity r< - forms themselves. That much i.r'v a Well be understood first as last." DEMOCRATS BETTER WAIT Republicans Not Ready to Let Tham Parcel Out Offices.
