J.AQUIN LUMBER <U Laquin, Bradford Co., Pa. ALL StPPOBJ SHEIITZ. Independent Voters of the State For Republican Nominee. EAGER TO CO UPON RECORD Unsolicited and Enthusiastic Indorse ments of Candidate For State Treas urer From Men Who Led Lincoln and City Party Movements. iSpocial Correspondence.] Philadelphia, Sept. 10 Representative John O. Sheatz, the Republican nominee for state treas-1 urer, is assured of the votes of 80 , pi>r cent of the citizens of Philadel phia who supported the City Party nominees wlio were elected to county Ollices two years. He is, of course, going to poll the full stalwart Republi can vote, so that an unprecedented ma jority may be looked for at the No vember election. Not only are the City Party leaders of this city outspoken in their support of Mr Sheatz, but from every section of the state come reports that the inde pendents generally intend to swell bis vote with the belief that he will make a clean cut and independent official. Mr Sheatz has a splendid record as a state legislator. He has had the dis tinction of being upon both the City Party and the Republican party tickets in his representative district upon the last two occasions upon which he was a candidate, and reformers and regu lars continue to indorse his legisla tive course at Harrisburg. As chairman of the committee on appropriations of the last house, he performed the arduous duties of that position in a manner to command uni versal commendation. All Lined Up For Sheatz. Here are some expressions from let ters that have been received by Mr. Sheatz from men who have been prom inent in reform movements. Former Minister to Italy William Potter, who was the City Party nomi nee for mayor when John E. rteyburn wa» elected, wrote: "I congratulate the commonwealth of Pennsylvania on your nomination for state treasurer. The flßht for bet ter government during the last two years compelled your nomination and 1 hope for your election." 1 Rudolph Blankenburg, a prominent member of the Lincoln Party in the state and a successful candidate for county commissioner on the City Party ticket: "It is a great satisfaction to me to know that you were nominated, be cause I have watched your work in the legislature and admired your courage when you stood almost alone in your light for the right. If we had only more of this character of manhood in public life everywhere, how happy and harmonious and prosperous we all would be. Whatever efforts I can make to secure your election (which of course, is a foregone conclusion) 1 ■hall gladly make." John H. Converse, one of the heaviest contributors to the City Party: "1 rejoice in the action of the state convention In naming you for state treasurer. Appreciating your position for all that is upn"ht mid Bound in Republican principles, 1 believe that we may all rejoice in the action of the convention.l wish you success in your office to which your election is assured." John C. Winston, chairman of the Committee of Seventy, which has led the Independent movement in Phila delphia since 1005: "I feel that your nomination was a distinct concession on the part of the Republican party to the independent sentiment of the state. I have no doubt whatever of your triumphant election. As a Republican, I am al ways pleased when the party does the right thing." Man of Courage and Integrity. "Your nomination for state treasurer Is a tribute to your ability, but in a greater degree, to your courage and in tegrity. It is a most significant sign of the present time that instate poli tics, even if not In city politics, a man can best help himself by performing the best service for the people. I heart ily congratulate you, but more heartily congratulate the people, that we shall be permitted to vote for a man in whom we can place entire confidence." Clarence L. Harper, late treasurer Of the City Party: "It gives me the greatest kind of pleasure to congratulate you upon your nomination. Your election will surely follow." Thomas Martlndale, a leader in the Gibboney campaign and active in many other independent movements: "With you on the front there Is no excuse either for a City Party, a Lin coln or a Democratic candidate, and I would rejoice to see you unanimously elected." Francis A. Lewis, late chairman of the campaign committee of City Party: "As a cltlien and a Republican 1 shall be glad to give you my hearty and cordial support." Franklin Spencer Edmonds, late chairman of the city committee of City Party and member of executive com mittee of Lincoln Party: "Your nomination gives the Repub lican party a candidate whose public record entitles him to the support of •very member of the party." These are but sample expressions that have come to Mr. Sheatz from different parts of the state. They show that hie Democratic opponent cannot look for Independent votes thla year.
