Republicans of Pennsylvania Ready
For An Aggressive Campaign.
CLUBMEN ARE IN THE VAN
Easton Expects a Great Crowd at
the Convention of the State League
of Republican Clubs.
[Special Correspondence. 1
Philadelphia, Aug. 22.
Within 10 days the Republican cam
paign in Pennsylvania will be well
under way and work will be begun in
earnest to assure the election of the
entire Republican ticket by large ma
jorities. Much has already been done
in that direction in the preliminary
canvass, and the September extra as
sessment. out of the way, the cam
paigning to interest, the voters in the
Republican cause will be spirited and
unceasing until the polls close OH the
7th of November next.
Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, chair
man of the Republican state commit
tee. states that the county chairmen
have never before accomplished so
much work thus early in a canvass,
and his reports from every section of
the state are exceedingly gratifying.
His correspondence is very large and
a corps of stenographers are kept busy
until iate every evening running off on
typewriters his letters to committee
men and other active Republicans in
the several counties.
Although this is what is styled an
"off year," when it is not expected
that there will be many mass meet
ings, Chairman Andrews has already
got a number of applications from
young Republicans and many veteran
orators effering their services to the
state committee to address any mass
meetings that may be held under the
auspices of the state organization. The
chairman will also be in a position to
furniali orators to county meetings
held by direction of the county chair
men.
Young Men to the Front.
The state organization is giving
every encouragement possible to the
officers of the State League of Repub
lican Clubs who are preparing for
their convention, which will be held
in Easton the middle of next month.
This promises to be one of the most
important conventions held in the his
tory of the state league, and all pos
sible arrangements are being made
for the entertainment of the visitors.
There will he full representatkm of
the clubs and a large attendance of
active and earnest party men—men
who are in the party from convietion
and principle, and not for personal
gain. The league always has been
l'ound on the side of clean and aggres
sive Republicanism. Most of the clubs j
have among the delegates who will
attend the annual convention thos6
active young men who are looking
ahead for promotion in our state and
local politics. They are the working
volunteer force of the party. Neither
faction nor dissension can swerve
them from loyalty to the party which
they place above and beyond men and
individuals.
The league is a powerful and im
portant adjunct to the state commit
tee and a political help to success.
The state ticket this year is a good
ticket, clean, aide and Republican, and j
there is no reason why it should not j
receive the earnest and zealous sup
port of all good Republicans. It cer- j
tainlv will have the'cordial untiring
support of all the clubmen over the
state.
Campaign of Misrepresentation.
As an indication of how the Repub- :
licans of the interior of the stale view j
the Philadelphia situation, this from !
th" Pittsburg Gazette is of interest: |
"In the history of Pennsylvania pol- I
itics there has never been as dirty a I
campaign of misrepresentation as |
that now in progress. There has been ,
trouble in the city of Philadelphia. It j
began with a gas franchise ordinance
and ints gone to the extent of Involv
ing some city contractors. Indue
course and by due process of law the
accused will be declared guilty or in
noi cut according to their deserts In
the meantime, however, there is a hue
and cry sent out over the state that
these men are guilty, and their sins
are laid at the door of the Republican
party.
"The attack on the Republican
paity however Is of anwther color
There is no mistaking that It etna
nates from the committee of the whole
of the Democratic part? and Is boost
ed alung l»v the organization of misflts
whose motto Is rule or ruin Its very
absurdity has led to allowing it to
go unchallenged for MO long that It Is

AN ACT permitting children re
siding in school districts in which no
high school is maintained, to attend
a high school in some other district
located near their homes, and pro
! viding for the cost of tuition and
school books.
! Section 1. Be it enacted etc. that
I children, residing in school districts
jin which no public high school is
'maintained, may attend a liit.li
school in some other district, located
near their homes; provided the con
sent of the directors'of the district
1 in which said high school is located
; be first obtained; the cost of tuition
and school books, which shall not
exceed that of tuition and school
I book of children in the same grades
i of courses in the district maintaining
such high school, shall be paid to
! the district receiving, out of ti e
1 moneys raised by taxation for pubiic
school purposes in the district in
i which said children reside:
PROVIDED, That, before admis
sion to a high .school, such pupils
j shall be examined and found qua"«
! liwil for high school work by the
principal of such high school.
We invite the attention of our
i readers to the above <piote<l act of
i the last session of the State Legishi
| ture. In the future children who re
side in districts in which no high
j school is maintained may without
: cost to their parents, attend other
! high schools. This will very matt r
ially increase the attendance of high
| schools now established and wii',
doubtless lead to the establishmei t
iif such schools in other districts.
LEST 7</E FOKGET.
j Lft No One Fail to Remember the
Democratic Turin Time*.
The past year lias not been a boom
year. Conservative business methods
and some contraction have been the
i logical and inevitable sequence of the
inflation and exaggerated speculation
that accompany every period of wide
spread prosperity in any country. The
closest students of conditions believe
that all branches of enterprise are
merely "taking their second wind" for
| n renewal of tlie industrial and com
I merc'.al activity that began when the
country was freed from fear of the
tariff and currency wreckers eight
years ago. The belief of these observ
ers Is based upon advices about the
crops, which on the wholly are very
good; the assured increase of railroad
earnings because of big crops, the im
proved feeling in the steel and iron
trade, the profits of our exporters lie
cause of the war needs of Japan and
Russia and the reports of good eollec
tious both in the east and west.
Meanwhile there are thousands of
men on strike in different parts of the
country. Men in a few of the indus
tries have lost positions or suffered a
reduction of salary. To these uieu the
Trade WaltN For ROIKIM.
Hi. there. Dick. John. Tom and Bill,
Hustle now with right Rood will:
Cast your plummets aft ami fore.
On the port side throw one o'er:
Hoist one to the starboard, John.
What? No bottom! Well. I swan'
Tills spring mufl does beat all—whew!
Guess the earth was fr»*e clear
through.
Now the frost is going out
She's all mush, beyond a doubt.
Horseless vehicles? Why, yes;
Mules could handle one, t guess.
Wish our congressman was here;
Guess he'd see his duty clear
As resards that good roads bill
In the legislative mill
And would hustle, first and last,
Until he had got it passed.
Trade is paralysed, of course:
It could hardly be much worse
i A week's) pushing failed to start
Au£ht except an old road cart
Tha.* I'd vowed to give away,
But it brought a "V" today
Could we have good roads in March
My. but wouldn't it put starch
Into 'he vehicle trade
Till we'd think our fortunes made!
And if congress helps a bit
Maybe we wiU have them yi/t.
