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.
A Brilliant Thought.
