War Root, in a recent interview.
election day and vote the entire party
ticket, from top to bottom. There
never was a time when a national ad
ministration deserved more thorough
ly the hearty and cordial support of
the party organization to which It nat
urally looks for indorsement.
The best way to indorse the admin
istration at Washington is to go to the
polls on Nov. 7 and vote the whole
Republican ticket, and no Republican
should omit the performance of that
duty.
CREASY NOT POPULAR.
The candidacy of W. T. Creasy, the
Democratic nominee for state treasurer,
represents the radical wing of the Dem
ocratic party. He is being ardently
supported by his fellow silverites and
by that element of the party which Is
publicly proclaiming against President
McKinley and his administration. Many
of them are co-operating with the At
kinson movement, which Is giving en
couragement to the Insurgents in the
Philippines by the circulation of trea
sonable literature and otherwise at
tempting to create sentiment against
the policy of the president
Creasy himself is cutting a small
figure in the canvass. He Is getting
speeches Into the Democratic and as
sistant Democratic papers, which are
being prepared for him, and is talking
a great deal about what he knows very
little.
Following up Its arraignment of
Creasy upon his antagonistic attitude
toward the old soldiers, comes a plain,
matter-of-fact statement from the ed
itor of the Columbia Republican, pub
lished at Creasy's home, which tolls Us
own story as to his popularity with his
neighbors. This Is what It says in this
week's issue, under the caption, "What
the Official Vote Demonstrates:"
In 1894 W. T. Creasy was a can
didate for the legislature the first
time In Columbia county, and was
elected. His majority compared
with Singerly's is as follows: Sln
gerly had 1,334 majority over Hast
ings, CreaBy had 1.010 majority, or
324 loss than Slngerly.
In 1S96 Creasy was a candidate
for the second term. Bryan had
that year 1,542 majority over Mc
Kinley and Creasy had 1,091 ma
jority, or 451 less than Dryan.
In 1898 Creasy was a candidate'
for the third term. Jenks had 2,
127 majority over Stone and Creasy
had 1,404 majority, of 723 less than
Jenks.
This Is the verdict which his
neighors and acquaintances regis
tered on three different occasions.
The campaign which is being made
in the interest of Creasy has been a
veritable frost.
An interview with former Republi
can State Chairman Gilkeson, of
Rucks county, publish- in the New
York Tribune, has at .....ed some com
ment. "Only a few years ago," said Mr.
Ollkeson, "40,000 was considered a nor
mal majority in Pennsylvania. Since
the Democratic factions have become
so bitter the better element of their
party has come over, so that Penn
sylvania may be put down as normal at
150,000. The 300,000 majority may be
drawing the line a little too far, but
still in a national campaign the steady
business Democrats who want no non
sense In politics can be counted on
either to vote the Republican ticket or
not to vote at all.
"I notice one thing in our district,
and I think it Is growing everywhere
that is the more active part taken by
the farmers In political matters. They
are beginning to wake up to the fact
that manufacturers are not the only
products of toil and skill to be safe
guarded by putting the right party
and principles in authority. They be
gin to realize that the great staples,
cereals, dairy and meat products, cat
tle, sheep and bogs, and now chickens
and egg's, are not articles of sale on
market days or by street hucksters
only In cities, towns and Tillages, but
hare become the leading articles of ex
port to Europe. That being the fact
a stable financial system, based on the
coin of commerce, becomes aa Import
ant to them aa it Is to the business in
terests of the country at large, if It
wishes to maintain its lead In the com-
Ajnerclal affairs of the world.
"The farmers are finding this out.
I only hops tht Democrats will con
tinue the folly of the Chicago platform
SECRETARY OF NAVT LONO.
"It is the Indifferent and stay-at-homt
voter that the party managers should
direct their attention to this fall. These
are the men who are so preoccupied
with their business Interests that they
frequently do not appreciate the Im
portance of a political campal' until
after the election returns are announc
ed. Then, If the result is not as they
desired, they feel the sting of remorse
nnd realize the result of their own neg
ligence. This fall there Is more than
usual danger to the Republican party
from the indifferent citizen. Our pros
perous conditions naturally divert the
minds of many from matters of public
moment. The party workers should
single out these voters nnd nt tho
proper time see that they go to the
polls. If they got them there, we need
have no fear of them voting tho Demo
cratic ticket. The thing to do is to get
them there the intelligence of the
voter will do the rest." Secretary
Long, in a recent interview.
of IS!)'!, just to let them see how public
sentiment has progressed even beyond
the thrashing they had in that year.
"The Democrats have not even a
ghost of a show In this state. Harnett
will get the full Republican vote, If not
more.
"It looks as If we will have a full
vote out. The people feel the en
thusiasm of the return of tho Tenth
Pennsylvania and the Dewey welcome,
and have not forgotten the Grand
Army encampment and other cere
monies which arouse patriotism. 1
think Pennsylvanlans feel that the
eyes of the whole country are upon
thrill, and notwithstanding that it Is
an off year in politics they must set
the pace of majorities for the McKin
ley campaign of 1900. I think our peo
ple will give an expansion Dewey pa
rade majority which the people of the
sister states will nut fall to understand."

HOT SHOT FOR THE ENEMY,
I hey Lead the Advance For the Battle
of the Ballots on Tuesday,
November 7.
The control of the Democratic party,
In the national and state organizations,
says the Citizen Press, of Franklin, Pa.,
Is In the hands of the disreputable and
anarchistic element, which is placing
the honest. Intelligent and patriotic
Democrats In a false position, so long
as they silently permit their names to
be used as the supports of the plaforms
erected and the policy expressed by the
Altgelds, Rryans and other "states
men" who assume to speak for the par
ty. However, one by one of the here
tofore prominent Democrats are plac
ing themselves on record as opposed to
the eopporhoadlsm which Is manifest
ed by tho rabid loaders of the, party
and will emphasize their protests by
voting the Republican ticket In No
vember, hoping by such action to rele
gate to the rear the wild eye ropudla
tionists now In control, and thereby
save the party organization for the
future. This course seems to be the
only one open for them to pursue at
this time and maintain their self re
spect. Ex-Oovernor Pattlson, of this state,
it; tho latest to repudiate the policy laid
down for the government of the party
by Altgeld and Rryan. points out that
patriotism Is higher than party. "My
duty as an American citizen," says ho,
"commands my support of the country's
president at this Juncture. When tho
president said in his Pittsburg speech
that the Philippines were Just as much
American soil as were Texasand Alaska
he spoke the truth. The Islands are
ours by title of treaty, and we have no
title to Louisiana or Alaska except
that confirmed by treaty. As they are
ours, we are bound to see them paci
fied, to set up law and order In their
midst."
This is the solemn fact, and people
who throw obstacles In the way of the
purification of the Philippines are aid
ing and abetting the rebellion, and
those Democrats who are of the same
opinion should show their patriotism
by voting the Republican ticket this
fall. It la the only way to make them
selves effective. Votes count.
A REPUBLICAN YEAR.
"This ought to be an easy year for
Republican success. It does not re
quire oral or written argument to In
duce men to vote the Republican
ticket," says the Everett (Pa.) Press,
"Argument and appeals fall on listless
ears in the face of well known facts.
When free traders cry out that the
tariff robs you, the laborer answers
with a shrug, 'Well, under your free
trade we had no work and nothing of
which to be robbed. Now, under pro
tection, work Is plenty, wans are
good, or at least good In comparison with
Democratic times, and we Bare plenty
to eat. clothes to wear, and can send
out children to school.' The tramp
GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT.
"Are the people so short sighted
j that they forget the miseries of six
1 years ago? Do they forget the bread
riots, tho squalid want even of those
able and anxious to work? We cannot
by any laws bring happiness and pros
perity to every one, but we can do
what tho. Republican party has done;
'that Is, by wise legislation and wise
administration secure the chance for
the bulk of our people to live out their
lives and do their work with the odds
as much as possible In their favor.
This is a national contest. We ap
peal not merely to party, but beyond
party; we appeal to all good citizens,
to all patriotic Americans, to stand with
us as we uphold the financial Integrity
and the conditions which stand for ma
terial prosperity nt homo, as we up
bold the honor of the flag and the In
terests of the nation abroad." -Governor
Roosevelt, In his recent Akron, O.,
speech.
! days of Democratic ascendency are
j over. When they tell you that free
I silver will bring greater prosperity, the
answer is, well lot well enough alone;
I you have fooled us already too often
I to our sorrow; we will want more than
theories now to induce us to leave the
j party under whose sway wo have re
' ceived and are enjoying the present J

THE STATE ISSUES.
A Good Man to Administer the Office of
State Treaiurer.
"Republicans are not afraiif to take
up the state issues or to dlsCUSS the
necessity for Governor Stone's action
In cutting down the most liberal Item
In the budget so as to make expendi
tures In Income balance each other,"
says the Wllkesbarre Times. "We have
already been too liberal at the expense
of the state treasury, and If the aclloa
of the governor will draw attention te
this subject he will have performed
a public service. Money gotten by In
direct taxation Is apt to be lavishly
spent, and we know .something of this
lavish expenditure by many of the
school boards and townships in our
own county.
"Nor are we afraid to discuss the
management of thartreasurer's office.
Under the new Inws there is no pos
sibility of wrong doing, and themothod
of depository, together with the pay
ment of Interest to be turned Into the
treasury, makes everything so plain
that only a reputable business man
Is required for the position of cus
todian. We have such a man In Lieu
tenant Colonel Harnett, the Republican
candidate, who besides possessing all
qualifications named is all right on the
protective system, an advocate of
sound money and a supporter of the
McKinley administration. This Is the
man for the times, and the people of
Pennsylvania wtll undoubtedly say go
oa the 7th of November."
THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC.
Significant Address by Archbishop Ireland
as to the Philippines.
Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul, was
shown much attention during bis re

the banquet of the Marquette club, of
Chicago, given In honor of President
McKinley on his trip west, In respond
ing to the toaat "The American Repub
lic," Archbishop Ireland, among other
things, said:
"The American republic Is the best
form of organised democracy revealed

claims homage from her own citlaens;
as such she draws to herself the at
tention of the world.

Republican CHAIRMAN HANNA.
"There Is no doubt that the state
elections this fall will lie taken as an
Index of the sentiment of the Ameri

proaching national campaign. It Is,
therefore. Important that every Re
publican vote shall ho cast in Novem

nothing to fear. I would as lief have
