NATIONAL ORATORS EXPECTED Reports From All Parts of the State Indicate That the Party Is In Fine Shape. [Special Correspondence.] Harrisburg, Aug. 15. The Republican state organization proposes to give every assistance and encouragement to the young Republi cans of Pennsylvania to make the com ing convention of the State league of Republican Clubs one of the roost suc cessful In the history of the League. The convention, whieh will be held In I*aston next month, promises to be one of the largest held in recent years, and the local cowimittee of arrange ments Is planning an exceptionally good program for the entertainment of the delegates and other guests who will visit their city during the con vention week. Clubmen Meet Andrews. Chairman Wesley R. Andrews, of the Republican State Committee, has had several conferences with officers of the State League, and he Is heartily co operating in their etTorts to get the active Republicans of the state to in terest themselves in the election of del egates te the convention by their home clubs. It is pointed out that President Roosevelt has from the outset of his political career looked upon the Re publican clubs as a powerful factor In the winning of campaigns, and he has never missed an opportunity to com mend the w»rk of the vigorous and progressive young Americans who are the bone and sinew of the Republican League of the Nation. In his last national campaign the i president insisted that the Republican national committee must give every consideration to the young men who were in charge of the organization of Republican clubs throughout the coun try, under the auspices of the National League, and he has since attributed much of the glory of the victory In that campaign to the Young Republi cans who niarshed behind the club ban ners on which were inscribed the words "Roosevelt, Protection and Prosper ity." Duty of Young Republicans. Pennsylvania Republicans in the present state campaign expect the club men of the commonwealth to do their full duty, and there is every reason to believe that there will be no disap pointment on that score. It is announced from Easton that the Republican clubs of the entire county of Northampton are preparing to enter tain the visitors, and that all will be welcome who come with the delegates and will receive the same courtesies and hospitality as the official represen tatives of the clubs A special committee is at work get ting Republicans of national fame to promise to address the great mass meeting which will be held on Septem ber L'U There are already assurances 1 of the presence of some of the best- , known and most popular Republican orators in the country. All of the san didates on the Republican state ticket i have been invited, and many of the . most prominent Republicans of the several counties of the stats are ex pected to attend the gathering From many private Interviews with active Republicans from every section of the state and through the heavy corr>'S|ioiidence that Is dally received. Chairman Andrews Is more than de lighted with thu reports as to the con flitlon of the Republican party and the sentiment of the voters through out the state Though the campaign has not been fairly opened there are evidences of unusual activity among the rank aud Hie of the Republican forces Thi- attacks of the Democrat* eerve to stimulate the R publican worker, to renewed activity and are actually beneficial to the Republican organtxa lion. Danger Lies In Apathy. It Is admitted on all side* that the greatest danger to a majority party in what Is termed an "o(f year" earn patgu lies In the apathy of the average Voter When no great prlie such as the presidency or a governorship Is at Stuhe there Is llkelv to be a feeling of Indifference or at least of over »ou fldauca, particularly aftar the prilling of such a tremendous Republican ma Jorlty as was given to Roosevelt rot president In Pennsylvania It will devolve upon the Republican manager* throughout the »t#»~ i«» »»<■ to It (hat e\er> Heputiilean voter is Impressed with the lm|4>rttn<*« of cay Una his ballot In Novemhut act so that the Republican line* *MII remtlti intact and that the pun> sliiil tie 1 n shape >6 HiaaS Us forces 111 solid phnlaui in the f<>ttare*»loiiai an I gu hernatorlal strug ;le winch will take I'lu e a<»» year 1 ARE PLEDGED TJ RLrORMS Republicans For Personal Registration and Other Popular Msacurcs. The Committee of Twcnty-»ise, load ing business we'i, bankers, lawyers and other men of affairs of the Quaker City, all members of the fatuous Unloa League, who seek reform within tlao Republican party, are being compli mented by Republicans generally for their success in bringing about tlio action of the Re.jabliean city cowrn.t tee in appointing a eommittee to seek to put an entirely new ticket of emi nently acceptable Republican candi dates In the field in Philadelphia and the pledging of the party organization to personal registration for the cities and for ballot reform and other meas ures demanded ty the people Republicans who believe In their party atrongJy protest against the ac tions of those who strive to make political capital against the Republi can party in tho state out of conditions in the Quaker City. On this point tho Philadelphia Inquirer, ameng other things, says: "If there has been crime committed against the people of Philadelphia thu people will demand punishment an I punishment will come. No right-mind ed citizen of any party or political organization would fer a moment shield a criminal or a criminal con spiracy or a criminal organization. p~>- litical or otherwise. Certainly tha great Republican party of Philadel phia and Pennsylvania -and hn-ndrecis of thousands of voters compose it—is not the defender of wrong-doing. "To what extent the newspaper charstes are true —whether the crimes that have been alleged are largely imaginative or are based upon fact — we do not know. The courts will de cide that—should there be trials. Rut even were they blacker than have bee a painted, what argument would that be for smashing the great Republican party of Pennsylvania? What have the hundreds of thousands of Republican citizens to do with the acts of indi viduals? "A year ago the whole country was ringing with exposures of crimes in the postofTice department at Washing ton. Republican offieials were the thieves Democratic newspapers and orators held these crimes up as a reason why the Republican party should be defeated. Judge Parker led the assault. 'Turn the Republican party out and ail would be well.' That was the oarapaign cry. Rut the people refused to hold the Republican party responsible for the pilferiags of indi viduals. "Today there ara scandals in the agricultural department. A sweeping investigation will be made. But are the Republican people of the United States going to hold themselves re sponsible for what a few persons have been doing? "Why, then, Is the Republican party of Pennsylvania to he slaughtered be cause of an investigation in Philadel phia? "That Is what the Coaiaiittee of Twenty-one, members of the Union League, want to know, and we think they hava t.he right of It. "They believe that the Republican party is quite big enough to do all the reforming that is necessary. With vot Ing lists purged of bogus names, with the promise of a personal registration law on the statute books, with an elec tion In November that will he per fectly honest, with a Republican city ticket to he made up of names uncon nected with politics—ln other words, with reforms instituted by the Repub lican party Itself —they seep no reason why the hundreds of thousands of honest, upright Republican voters of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania should cut the throat of their own party. "And there is no reason." Republicans Will Vote Straicjl t. Republicans outside of Philadelphia will not be disturbed in th»ir party fidelity by what inay accur in that city. They will vote the sttaight ticket. A3 heretafore, and sustain by the usiutl majorities the policies so necessary tn the welfare and prosperity of the eou : try and record a united and emphatic approval of the excellent, eapabii a*i patriotic administration of Preside-., Roosevelt.
