OLD FASHIONED CANVASS IS ON Andrew: Fcr a Campaign of Vim and Patriotism. MARCHERS AMD 6LEES FIGURE Recruits Called For From the Rank and File of the Great Army of Penn sylvania Republicans, and a Prompt Response Is Anticipated All Along the Line. With Victory In November Assured. [Special Correspondence.] Philadelphia, Sept. 2!*. Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, as chairman of the Republican state com mittee, has sounded the slogan to Re publicans of Pennsylvania for the in auguratlon of a campaign for the clos ing days of the state canvass which must appeal to every stalwart Repub llcan in the land. The colonel, himself a veteran ot the Fremont campaigners in the cause of true Republicanism, has called for a revival of the spirit of the olden days, of a recruiting df the Re publican hosts as in the memorable struggles in which the "Wide Awake" clubs, by their partiotism and party fervor, stirred the nation from end to end, and for an expression of senti ment which shall he emphasized by bringing " Old Glory" to the front as the Republican forces inarch 011 to victory. Colonel Andrews has just addressed the following letter to each of the chairmen of the Republican county committees throughout Pennsylvania: A Call to Action. "Dear Sir —We have reached a period in the national campaign when part; tines are tightly dra,wn, the is sues well defined, and the voters are rallying around the banners of their respective parties. "RcpublicPitts of Pennsylvania have reason to be proud of their candidates and all can consistently and cordially endorse the platform upon which they have been nominated "It devolves upon the county chair men. in the closing days of the can vass. to marshal tho Republican hosts in their respective bailiwicks, and 1 suggest that we have an old-fashioned cam ass, along the lines of the cam paign of I*6o. when the young men of 'lie country gathered in "Wide Awake clubs," supplying at their own ex pense their uniforms aud making demonstrations at all political meet ings in their neighborhood. "What was done in lbtiO can be done now. "The country is fully as patriotic today. "in later years contributions have been depended upon to meet expenses, but in the old times each man not only contributed his time, but also his share of the expenses of the meeting.* which were held. "These thoughts are suggested by the calls upon the Republican state committee for financial assistance to provide for meetings, with which it is not possible to comply. This prompts the inspiration to recall the faith of the fathers of the Republican party, who. without outside aid of auy kind, rallied everywhere and over threw the Democratic party, then strongly entrenched in power, anl elected the immortal Lincoln, through whom the Union was saved. "What vas dene in IJJU, I repoat, can b>- done now. "In this day, when in Philadelphia and Pittsburg and ei~--wh*iv the past is being recalled ia ['".J urid-i-a' W. e'u and like celebrations, it is ,li.a an old-fashioned uiiifeiiiug au-.i siav; lug campaign be inaugurateti to ;use tho voters throughout the length ;.u J breadth of the state. To Have Can.paign Clee Chi'js. "Additional interest will be - ivca to the meetings in man.v localities If a musical program shall lie in connection with the practical work of expounding the principles of th party and discussing the live issues Oi the campaign. "In such cases, you are advised to enlist the services of one or more soloists, and, where possible, a quartet or glee, to Intersperse the proceedings with musical selections. "For this purpose there will be for warded to you a compilation of cam paign songs, written to popular tunes, vhich can he distributed among the | audiences that all may join in the j singing. t Anthem For Pennsylvania. | "In connection with this collection uf songs is presented the new slate anthem, "Pennsylvania.' in the chorus of which all loyal Pennsyivanians can readily -mite. "It was given with great success at the recent gathering of the State League of Republican clubs at Wllkes- Barre, and the convention adopted a resolution endorsing a proposition to make it the 'Official Song of the Key stone state.' The aim of the composer Is to give what has long been lacking. 1 song that shall be typical of the commonwealth, and which shall be come as affectionately associated with Pennsylvania aud Pennsyivanians. wherever they may be, as have 'Mary land, My Maryland,' 'My Old Kentucky Homo' and like state songs to the citizens of the states with which they ire respectively Identified. "Let this and the songs lauding the party and its candidates be sung upon all appropriate occasions. "Get the 'First Voters.' those who will, in November next, cast their first presidential vote, to form in line and march to the meetings, if only with a fife and drum at their head, and with 'Old Glory' always carried prtmdly in yie van. "Let us have enthusiastic, patriotic Republican rallies everywhere and roll up an unprecedented majority for our gallant standard-bearers. Taft and Cherraan, and the full Republican ticket. "Let the spirit of the days of Lin coln pervade the entire party, and a record-breaking victory will be the result. Respectfully, "WESLEY R. ANDREWS. "Chairman." There wa3 a very successful gath ering of active Republicans from all parts of the slate here yesterday, iu attendance upon the meeting of the Republican state committee, which was called primarily to fill a vacancy upon the electoral ticket, but which was principally valuable for the op portunity it afforded men of the sev eral congressional and senatorial dis tricts to get together to confer upon plans for the closing days of the can vass. Senator Penrose met the commit teemen and gave them very encourag ing reports, as a member of the na tional committee, about the outlook throughout the country for Republi can victory in November. Dangers of Bryanism. Will Mr. Bryan please inform all the people to what particular class of peo ple he when he assumes the people do not rule? Is it the poorer classes and those largely infected with socialistic and anarchistic ideas and theories with whom Bryanism greatly sympathizes, professionally at least, or is it the farmers, merchants, manu facturers and the great national rail roads and their employes? Were Bry anism (with his superficial and wild eat ideas of banks, currency and finance; hfs hostility to all corpora tions and his determination to destroy all manufacturing industries, which he denominates as trusts, by inaugurat ing another Gorman and Wilson tariff bill for revenue only, and strike down the protective principle) to dominate the country, surely the majority of the people would uot rule. The adminis tratlon, with his extraordinary views of his powers as president, and with hia vagaries and chimerical theories of government, would be in a state of chaos; and the collapse of all indus tries, of the farmer and the wago earner, would be such as to cause a further trend toward socialism aud an archism. — Keystone Gazette. PENNSYLVANIA IN NATIONAL FIGHT Penrcse as Aid to Hitchcock Keeps Tariff to Front. IN INTEREST OF THIS STATE Manufacturers and Artisans, and All Engaged In industrial Enterprises, and Grangers and Business Men of the Keystone Commonwealth Exhib iting a Natural Loyalty to the Cause of Republicanism. [.Special Correspondence.J New York. Sept. 2D. Pennsylvania Is becoming daily more prominent in the national Lte publican campaign, if one is to judge from the activity of Pennsyivanians about the national committee head quarters, and the consideration that is being paid to the claims of the state and her party leaders. Since Senator Penrose was called to the assistance of Chairman Hitchcock as a member of the executive commit tee of the national committee, and was urged to make his headquarters in the offices fitted up for him in the na tional committee's building, he has had to make many appointments with Pennsyivanians about both state and national campaign matters to meet him here. He will have little time to give to personal or local matters until after the national election shall be over. The direction of the campaigns in a number of doubtful states has been left 10 Senator Penrose, and he is called Into consultations daily upot questions affecting the management of : the general canvass. Tariff Issue Made Prominent. Bryan's attitude, particularly upon ! the tariff issue, has been of special I concern to Pennsylvanians, who are j BO vitally interested In the raainte ! nance of a tariff which shall protect the workingmen and the farmers of j the Keystone state from foreign eom ; petition. Senator Penrose, in all of his I speeches this year, and in exerting [ whatever influence he may have in shaping the policy of the other cam paign managers, has made the tariff an issue of special prominence, and he does this as a particular champion of the industries and the other inter ests of his native state which he be lieves would be jeopardized by the election of Bryan and an inauguration of the free trade doctrines of the Democracy. Pennsylvania Interests Concerned. Many of the great Pennsylvania concerns, the carpet manufacturers a! Philadelphia, the steel mills In west ern and northeastern Pennsylvania, the coal companies of the bituminous and anthracite regions, the great coke and cement Interests, and the many other industrial enterprises which have millions of Pennsylvania capital Invested, and which employ hundreds of thousands of men and women, have offices in this city. The officials of these companies are pleased to see the interest taken in the national campaign by Senator Pen rose, as they recognize the import ance of the outcome of the election not only to those who have money in vested in their plants, but to those who look to the successful operation of those firms and companies for em ployment. The great granger and dairy inter ests of Pennsylvania, which find ready markets for their products right at home when these industrial plants are running and their era ployea are getting remunerative wages, are Just as much concerned and are evincing just as much inter est in the efforts to elect the Hepubll can national ticket. Farmers Are For Taft. Reports from the farming districts of not only Pennsylvania, but New Jersey, Ohio. Indiana and like states, which have large manufacturing in terests. show that the trend of senti ment is very strongly toward the Re publican party this year. Taft and Sherman are as popular with the farmers as they are with the wage earners, who realize the import ance of a continuance of the policy of a protective tariff under which Ameri can industries have been built up and developed. There are marshalling in the vari ous industrial centers great armies of American workingmen, who will march to the polls in November ami vote the full Republican ticket. A Great Army Lining Up. Reports received at the national committee headquarters show that in Pennsylvania the steel workers, the miners, the cokers, the furnace men. the weavers, the cement workers, the mill men. the railway employes and other workingmen employed by tribu tary interests, are going to vote with the Republican party. Business men realize the disaster that would come to them with Bryan In the White House and Democ rats in control of the lower house of congress, and with some of the so-called Repub lican senators not to be depended upon In tariff legislation. They are also lined up for Taft. ■reports to the contrary, there Is absolute harmony among the man agers of the Republican national com inittee, and all Information points to the election of Taft and Sherman l>\ a good majority in the electoral col lege. Bryan's Mistakes. If the Bryan monetary scheme had been accepted, the country's indus tries. agricultural and manufacturing, would have been demoralized. We should, as Governor Hughes puts it, "have been overwhelmed with disas ter;" for both theories could not be right, and if the gold standard theory was right, as It has been proven to be, Mr. Bryan's free-coinage-of-siiver the ory was wrong. As to the government ownership of railroads, even Mr. Bry an seems quickly to have recognized the revolutionary and chaotic conse quences which must follow any gov ernmental attempt to put such a scheme to realization. But how pre sumptuous and absurd It is for any party to ask the American people to accept a man as the chief executive of the nation who has stood sponsor for two such governmental policies. The man who reasoned so crudely in 1896, in 1900 and later cannot be sup posed to have escaped the limitations with which he was encumbered. One who has been twice wrong in his main theories Is not the man to be putin a place of the highest responsibility.— Allentown Chronicle and News. The Drift From Bryan. This drift of Democrats away from Bryan and over to Taft In many of the southern states has more significance than may appear on the surface, it mnrks a tendency which is undoubt edly in operation all over the country. While the change of base may not be great enough to sweep any of the old southern Democratic fastnesses into the Republican column, it will count for much in the northern and western states, where there is no negro issue to hold men in line for a ticket whose head they distrust and whose princi ples they hate. Hundreds of thousands of men who voted for Bryan in his two previous canvasses will bo against him this year.—Coatesvllle Times. Nc Transfer For Bryan. I W. J. Bryan makes a frank stf.t.e --!
