NUVEMBEH'S VOTE TO BE A 1 EST Sympathies of the National Adminis t. ;ition Are Gtrongly With the Party Organization In This State. [Special Correspondence.] Philadelphia. Sept. 12. Every vote cast for the Kepubliuan ticket in Pennsylvania at ihe approach ing election will not only be a vote of endorsement of Republican principles but a vote of confidence in Roosevelt as well as an additional guarantee to the national administration that the great Republican organization of the K \v: tone State stands tiinily anil loy ally by the president . The scandalous conduct of the new insurgent-Democratic combine in Penn sylvania make it essential that the honest Republicans of the state shall assert themselves at the next election. A member of the Union League has received from President Roosevelt a j personal letter which absolutely dis- ' I ses of the rumors circulated by as- ' ;,:;:tant Democrats in this city and state j to the effect that one or more members j of the president's cabinet will figure j in opposition to the regular Repabli- j can cause. While such reports would ordinarWy j be regarded as too ridiculous to neees- [ hitate denial, the repeated announce ments from insurgent and Democratic newspapers that Secretary Bonaparte will make a speech or write a letter to j be used in the present campaign in the ! interest of the anti-Republican candi- I dates prompted the eorrespondance ' which brought forth the letter frwtn the president to one of his personal friends in the Union League. Roosevelt's Interest In Pennsylvania. Not only does President Roosevelt I make it clear that Secretary Bonaparte will not figure in the Pennsylvania campaign, bat Republicans who have j been curious abmit the foundation for I other stories indicating that the presi- | ilcnt's sympathies are not fully with j the regular Republican organization ki , Pennsylvania are given no excuse to | be longer in doubt as to the attitude of J the federal administration on the ques- ! tion oC loyalty to the Republican party j in the Keystone State. President Roosevelt fully realizes that the two Republican United States senators and the 31 Republican mem bers of the national house of represen tatives front Pennsylvania have been heartily in accord with his administra tion. and they Intend to stand by him j in his future efforts for the develop- j ment of the country's resources under Republican policies, lie also knows I that the present contest In Pennsylva- ! nia will have a far-rearhing effect upon j the great struggle for the election ef ! congressmen next year. L'-!cs Must Not Be Broker. "Should the Republican lines lie broken in Pennsylvania this fall dis astrous" results would surely fallow in the congressional election next year," declared Chairman Andrews, of the Re publican state committee. There are several close congressional districts in this state, and it may, require the most etrenuous work In the approaching con- j gressional campaign to hold Pennsyl- j vania's record of having the largest Republican delegation of any state in j the union on the floor of the national | house of representatives. "The great manufacturing and Indus- j trial interests of Pennsylvania which ! are so dependant upon Republican su- 1 premacy," continued Chairman An- j drews "will not allow factional bicker- ; ings or the work of a few aspiring and | reckless individuals to imperil the elec- \ tion by a large majority of every one of I the candidates on the Republican state ; ticket next November. "Insurgent and party wrecking or- ' ganizaiions formed to advance the per sonal interests of a clique of wealthy and ambitious men cannot get a foot hold in Republican Pennsylvania this fall to endanger Republican success in the great btruggle of next year when the vital interests of the commonwealth will be so deeply concerned." Gordon-Weaver Combine. In the Machiavellian game that is being played in this city to further the Insurgent movement, former Judge Cordon's fine hand has been disclosed from time to time. In line with the circulation of re ports that Secretary Bonaparte and possibly other cabinet officers would be heard from during the course of the campaign In favor of the so-called "re form" agitation was the attempt to have it ap nr that Preslden Roosevelt sought a conferen« e with Mayor Wea ver on hi ; return visit to Willcs-Harre. It is known that this much adver ti- d "conference" had no political alg r.ifi ance. 'I he fact is. there was no "conference" betwcpn the president and the mavor of I'hiladelubla uuon anv subject. Mayor weaver met tbe presi dent as thousands of other citizens greeted him during his visit to the coal regions. There was not a second dur- • lng their meeting at which there were not several other persons present and in hearing distance. It is now declared that Mayor Wea ver's visit to the coal regions was de liberately planned for political pur- • poses by the Gordon outfit, and that the speech which he delivered to tlis delegates to the convenion cf the Cath olic Total Abstinence Beneficial Union was carefully prepared with a view to advancing the interests of tbe men back ' of the inde endent campaign In this city and staie. K has bei \ boldly charged and no: ! denied that Q'irdon wrote the speec • • I which Weaver made. It was a bril liant literary effort. Weaver is not a good scholar, as texts of hts rsonur.l reports to councils have shown. No ! one who knows him can believe ho j wrote that Wilkes-Barre speesh. j The people are beginning to under stand the significance of the Gordon- ■ ' Weaver combination and they are go- ; lng to vote accordingly, j Gordon represents the old insurgent | ! Democratic combination that has re- ' ! cently been rehabilitated and which j j is seeking to get control of the Re- j publican organization in Pennsylvania. 1 j He is using the patronage of tha j Weaver administration to that end. | A MAN OF THE PEOPLE; i Laboring Interests of the Stats Rally Around Plummer. RECALL HIS PLUCK A3 A BOY Career of the Republican Nominee For State Treasurer Appeals to the Masses [Special Correspondence.] Harrisburg, Sept. 12. It has been a source of gratification j to the friends ot J Lee Plummer. the i Republican nominee for state treas urer. to find that on every hand work ingmen of Pennsylvania are express ing k«en interest in his candliacy. Mr. Plummer is recognized as a man who has worked his way tip from very h-umfele circumstances and who is en titled t« the consideration and sup port of every Pennsylvanian who ap preciates worth and merit in a fellow citw.en. What may be termed the "labor vote" Is practically solid for Mr. Plnmmer. The name of "Plummer" was heard on many lips in the great popular demonstration of Labor Day. Out in Pittsburg, where the labor parade was the largest ever given In that section of the state, many of the leaders in the labor movement are among Mr. Pluminer's staunchest supporters. A Labor Editor's Tribute. In a special edition of his paper pub lished for Labor Day the editor of the Labor World had this to say about Mr. Plummer: "In another part of this issue of the Labor World we publish a brief sketch of the career of J. Lee Plummer, Re publican candidate for state treasurer of Pennsylvania. The facts of this sketch prove Mr. Plummer to be in truth a remarkable man. both as to mental abi'lity and moral fortitude. His great and creditable success in life shows that he is not such stuff as dreams are made of. He is typical of those immortal Americans who have sprung from the lowly cottage or cabin and rocky paths of Hl-requited toil to become great public blessings. "From a wage worker's viewpoint there is much to be proud of in the early struggles of J. Lee Plummer. He was compelled when at tender years to 'get out and hustle' to support family. His father had met with a serious accident when on public duty. Young Plummer worked with a will and w-ith hope. He soon displayed marked ability and he became a 'prominent man' before he had at tained his majority. Trire to the Masses. "It is natural that such men of tal ent as Mr. Plummer should reach ini partant public offices of trust. He has been no exception, and to his credit let it be recorded that he has been true to the interests of the masses in the performance of his duty. As chairman of the committee on ap propriations. his work exists as a monument to his fidelity to the best Interests of the people. His sympathies and efforts were for the poor, the very poor. Doubtless his struggles in early life prompted him unswervingly In this direction. His policy as chairman of the appropriations committee re garding free be«Js in hospitals and the treatment of the insane poor cannot but win for him the help of tee work ers for wages Hts noble effort to have the state care for consumptives un- ' able to help themselves is another proof of his strong desire to aid and I uplift struggling humanity. "Such men as Mr. Plummer, em bodying all the sterling qualities cliar- r acteristir of the truest Americans af ford the vory best examples to the j S sons of the wage workers. Depend | - upon It. they prove that poverty is not j a barrier to success when detcrtnlna- j tion and honesty of purpose are em ployed Thus It is that these examples should he encouraged by those who heneflt most by them, that is. the workingmen themselves "Let the honorable and progressive course of the quondam newsboy be continued. Hts past gives assurance for the future. He comes from the ranks and is one of the people." i John D.
