They are going to stand by the Republican party this fall. A very significant manifestation of popular sentiment was given last week at the annual Grangers' picnic at Williams Grove, Cumberland coun ty, when the rival candidates for state treasurer spoke on alternate days. The enthusiastic demonstration in honor of J. Lee Plummer. the Republican nominee, was in striking contrast with the "frost" which his opponent. W. H. Berry, Free Silver Democrat and some time Prohibitionist, encountered on following day. The farmers of Pennsylvania are evidently not favorably impressed with the personality or the checkered political career of Mr. Berry. As a radical Bryanite he figured in past campaigns as an ardent free trade and free silver champion. His vacillating course does not app.eal to the solid and substantial citizens of the Key stone State. On the other hand, Mr. Piuujmer, the Republican standard-bearer, is recognized as a strong and conserva tive character, who has made his mark in life by his own energy and pluck, and who has been steadfast in his loy alty to Republican principles. Farmers to Be Envied. In his address to the farmers of the state, Mr. Plummet, among other things, said: "The farmer is to be envied of all men in business. The world's markets are alwavs ready to take his product. The professional man, the lawyer or the doctor, may spend years in the preparation for the practice of his profession, and when he opens his of fice the people may pass him by; a merchant may stock his shelves with the finest goods, and the people may go elsewhere to buy. but they must buy the farmer's products, for they must eat. and they must wear olothes, and everything we eat, and everything we wear, is furnished by the farmer or his brother, the stock-raiser. "The farming industry of oivr coun try is the great industry of our coun try; no other one industry produces as much either in bulk or value. "And now a word for Pennsylvania, this grand old state of ours. She is the greatest and grandest of all our states, and the brightest star on Old Glory today. Her industries are flour ishing, and no citizen of the common wealth. who is able to work, need ot necessity be idle. Her farmers are prosperous and are blessed with abun dant crops, which are readily taken up by her home markets. "The Republican party of Pennsyl vania. which for more than forty years has controlled legislation in the state, has always been solicitous for the wel fare of her agricultural interests, and some of the wisest legislation on our statute books was passed in the inter est of our farr">rs. "Two departments of our state gov ernment are devoted to their interests, the department of agriculture and the highway department. "In the department of agriculture, the dairy and food division is of espe cial importance to the dairy interests of the state, for it, is the duty of its agents to inspect our food and see to it that what is sold for butter is butter, and not something else colored as but ter. "The division of zoology has charge of the suppression of insect pests that prey on your crops, and is doing good work for the fruit industry of the state in fighting the San Jose scale. In this department is also the live stock sani tary board, whose duty it is to protect the health of the domestic animals of the state and to eradicate and suppress all dangerous and contagious diseases of domestic animals. "The other department is the high way department, created for the pur pose of assisting in improving the roads and highways of the common wealth. This department was created in 1903, and I had the pleasure of sup- j porting and voting for the bill. The legislature of 1905 appropriated the j sum of $6,356,232.47 to this depart- j ment for improving the roads of the j state. This large sum of money Is to be available and spent in the improve ment of our country roads within the next four years. This is only a part of what the state is doing for the Penn sylvania farmer. "In addition to the work done by the ; department of agriculture and the highway department, you participate j with the rest of us in the state ap- 1 propriathm to the public schools. Pennsylvania appropriates more money to her public schools than any j other state. She gives the princely sum of $5,500,000 each year to her public schools. This is an immense sum of money, and goes into every j township, village and city of the com- j monwealth and relieves the people of j taxation. "There Is no state In the union, and no country In the world, where the bur den of government rests as lightly on the people as does the government of Pennsylvania. "Did you ever consider that real es tate in Pennsylvania is not taxed for the support of the state government?, In other words, that no person in Pennsylvania pays a tax on real estate? This Is true." A CLEAN-CUT ISSUE Shall a Bryanite Have Custody of the Funds of the State? PENNSYLVANIANS TO VOTE NO "Fighting Jack" Robinson, the Breezy Delaware County Editor, Unrrask3 Free Silverite Berry. [Special Correspondence.] Philadelphia, Sept. 5. Every day brings fresh evidence of the enthusiastic interest being taken in the Republican campaign in Penn sylvania. The voters of the state are alive to the main Issue Involved and they are going to act accordingly. Shall a Bryanite be given custody of the funds of Republican Pennsylvania? Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, chair man of the Republican state commit tee, finds the headquarters thronged daily with callers coming from all sec tions of the state, and they all bring the same report, that there is Republi can victory In the air. "Fighting Jack" Speaks Out. Former Congressman Robinson, o! Delaware county, "Fighting Jack," as he is familiarly known, presents the issue in this campaign very clearly and concisely in his Media Ledger, in which among other things he says: "The office of state treasurer is one of the most Important to be filled in the commonwealth. "State lines are drawn just as na tional lines were drawn last year be tween Parker and Roosevelt, and the latter won out in a fight where neces sarily partisanship had to be considered and party affiliation was a crucial test. "So it is neither plausible nor ra tional from a Republican viewpoint to put forward the cry of 'independence,' and ask that party lines be obliterated when the conduct of the finances of the state is the question at issue. "Mr. Berry's well known and often avowed advocacy of free silver, to gether with his ardent Prohibitionism, makes him a subject dangerous to elect over an able and clean man like Hon J. Lee Plummer, of Mlair county. "A Republican who can be cajoled or bamboozled by a cry of non-partisan ship or independence to cast aside his convictions in so vital a canvass must indeed be a weak and simple-minded voter. Berry As a Bryanite. "William H. Berry is an example of the politics pushed to the extreme limit by William Jennings Bryan, and he has never resented any of the heresies he so persistently put to the fore In the congressional and presidential cam paigns of 1896 and 1900. Indeed, as late as last January Candidate Berry at a social gathering of the Burns Club in Chester —the last place one would have expected a political speech-—elaborated his singular views of finances. If such things be done in the green, what will he not do in the dry and with full power and the credit of the common wealth at his back —if such a thing could occur in this staunch Republican stronghold of Pennsylvania—those who knew Berry would look for almost anv reactionary and revolutionary manipu lation of the credit and the funds, now so deservedly high, of this great state. "It would, indeed, be a great calam ity to have Berry as state treasurer, and the announcement go out over all the United States that the doctrines of Bryan and not McKinley are in the ascendant in the Keystone State, the banner Republican fortress. Should Stand Pat. "Let every Republican, therefore, 'stand pat' on the question of finance and take no steps backward. "If the prosperity we now enjoy as a nation and the high credit the com monwealth of Pennsylvania now ob tains be the result of Republican suc cess—as it unquestionably is—would not a vote for Berry be a stultification of the record made, and would it not be a menace to good financial govern ment to defeat an honest money candi date, an honest candidate and repre senting an honest party by an avowed and notorious advocate of Bryan it; m and depreciated standards? "This is the state «112 all states in the union where such a dangerous experi ment should not be essayed. "We firmly believe that there are not one thousand Republicans in this com monwealth who, if they perused the speeches of William H. Berry in the memorable campaign of 1890 and who analyzed these radical statements, would ever think of casting a billot against his own party, which has a typical candidate. "No fake issue should obscure the field of political vision, and of all years and of all states this one of Pennsyl vania is the last, and should be the last, to adopt a,policy and a candidate so radically opposed to all that has been so successfully advanced and firm ly secured by the party in the past. "Standing in the ancient w: ys. leav ing aside even the suspicion tl she should reverse her splendid financial record, remembering the victories won in both state and nation over just such dangerous political quacks and c!o;-!rin aires as Bryan and Berry, we predict that as the campaign unfolds and the artfulness of the political games against our party are exposed, this Keystone State will give a larger majority this off year than she ever did in any sucli year before." Wants No Extra Session. The man tilling the soil Is not much Interested in personal registration now and don't want the state to 'i;o to a heavy expense at this time to sat isfy the whims of a few re/oriaers. Personal registration can easily wait until the legislature again me sin regular session.—Hazleton Sentinel. John D. Reesei '. Big Store, Bank Block, Dushore, i'enna GREAT BARGAINS. j !
