[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

"Additional interest will be - ivca to

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

resolution endorsing a proposition to

"Get the 'First Voters.' those who

"Let us have enthusiastic, patriotic
Republican rallies everywhere and
roll up an unprecedented majority for
our gallant standard-bearers. Taft and

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.

[.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.
