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.

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."
