I NATIONAL FIGHT COMING Contest at the Pennsylvania Election j This Fall Regarded as Skirmish of the Great Presidential Battle of Next Year. [Special Correspondence.] Harrlsburg. Sept. 24. A significant feature of the gather ing of Republican clubmen In thfs city this week is the presence of so many young Republicans, many of them to be first voters at the coming election. The activity of young men in the ranks of the State League of Republi can clubs in this campaign has., been the subject of general comment, and the party leaders who have been fight Ing the battles of Republicanism tor ' years are elated over the accession 1 of so many enthuiastic recruits, j The popularity of the nominee for ; state treasurer, the fact that he is, 1 himself .a staunch member of the ; State League of Clubs, and that his i candidacy typifies the desires of the i men who seek to advance the cause ! of Republicanism's highest ideals, may, j in a measure, account for the gratlfy ; ing interest taken In the present state ; campaign by the young men. both of the cities and the counties of Penn sylvania. Mr. Sheatz's career in public life Is calculated to inspire the youth of this commonwealth. The story of his labors as a lad fn the great Baldwin Locomotive works in Philadelphia and his subsequent success as a business man. his nomi- I nation for the state legislature in an i independent district in the Quaker city his splendid record as a lawmaker at Harrisburg, which led to his nomi nation by the Republican state con vention by a unanimous vote for the office of state treasurer, has been studied by the young Republicans of ' Pennsylvania, who have enlisted in the 1 campaign to bring about his election by an unprecedented majority for an off year in November next. Presidential Battle Coming, i The fact that next year will be prest i dential year may also account for the interest taken in the Republican party | organization this fall by the younger ] element. Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, chair man of the Republican state commit- I tee. reports that the chairmen of the I several county committees find that ' great Interest is being taken in na ! tional politics this year, and that every i one is looking forward to the coming Republican convention. Pennsylvania will have 68 votes In j that national gathering, the largest ' delegation, save one. that will sit in the convention.and the voice of Penn i syivania. as in the past, it is predicted, will again be potential in the national councils of the party. In order that Pennsylvania shall maintain her proud place as the key stone of the Republican national arch. ! it is recognized by the young men who 1 1 have rallied to the party colors In the. present campaign that the vote at the ; coming election must show a pro naunced Republican majority. It is true that the opposition is de moralized. and is without an issue. The danger to the Republican forces lies in over confidence and the apathy that frequently follows the absence of an aggressive opposition. The Capitol Grafting issue. Nominee for treasurer. Mr. Sheatz, j has reason to be proud of the ovation 1 given him here this week by the club men gathered from every section of ! the state. While in this city. Mr. Sheatz had several conferences with Governor Stuart. They talked over the state capitol graft cases. It is recognized that the Democrats lost their only is sue when Attorney Ueneral Todd pro ceeded against the men who were named in the report of the legislative probers .as responsible for the looting of the state treasury through irregu larities attending the construction of I the capitol. ' With the knowledge that the pledges of the Republican party are being fui ; filled, and that after the thorough i probing of the capitol job, the Re- j publican state administration is pro ceeding to prosecute all who had a ; hand in the affair. the ( Democrats are absolutely deprived of an opportunity to play the capitol scandal to advance j their political interests.
