True Economy
The difference of cost between a
good and a poor baking powder
would not amount for a family's
supply to one dollar a year.
The poor powder would cost
many times this in doctors' bills.
Roval Baking Powder may cost a little
more per can, but it insures perfect,
wholesome food. In fact, it is more
economical in the end, because it goes
further in leavening and never spoils
the food.
Royal Baking Powder used always
in making the biscuit and cake saves
both health and money.

REPUBLICAN' CAMPAIGN FORMALLY
OPENED TUESDAY EVENING
MiuMlebuoj Thronged With Old Snyder's
Sturdy Yeomanry
Town Taken by Storm to Digest the Logic of '
Eloquent and Able Orators
Tuesday was Republican day and
the evening was Republican night,
The voters of all shades of political
faith turned out to hear the star ora
tors of the campaign and to hear the
issuer fairly and squarely discussed.
The four years of prosperity we are now
enjoying is not to be turned down
lightly for the gratification of Demo
cratic offloe seekers. The idle work
men and motionless wheels of four
years ago are not forgotten. The pangs
of the hungry, the soup houses of the
Idle and the Cleveland patches still re
call the dread horrors of Dcmoratic
misrule.
The Republican standing Committee
met in the court house at two o'clock
and decided to hold a series of public
Dieetings throughout the county. The
places selected for meetings arc Mo-
Clure, Bcavertown, Pennscreek, Rich
field, Fremont, Freeburg, MoKees 4
Falls, Port Treverton, Kelinsgrove and
Shamokin Dam. The dates for these
meetings have not been -selected. They
will be decided by the chairman and
the candidates. The committee made
I favorable reports from all parts of the
county and they decided to make an
active pushing campaign all over the
county.
The public meeting was called to or
J der hi the evening, and A. W. Potter,

GOVERNOR STONE
DEFIES INSURGENT
NEWSPAPER COMBINE
Governor Stone did not mince
words In a speech made at Wett
Cheater, in which he scored the
subsidized newspapers of Philadel
phia and defied them. In this
speech the governor, among other
things, said:
"The Republican senators and
members who will not support
their caucus nominee can never
vote for a Democrat for United
States senator under any circum
stances. The most rabid Insurgent
county In the state will not stand
that, unless It Is a mere bouquet
thrown when they know there will
be no election. The Democratic
leaders cannot afford to vote for a
Republican for United States sena
tor. They will be advised to do so
on the grounds of public policy by
so-called leading Republican news
papers in cities of the first class,
but DON'T THEY KNOW THAT
THE SO-CALLED LEADING RE
PUBLICAN NEWSPAPERS IN
CITIES OF THE FIRST CLASS
HAVE LOST THEIR INFLUENCE
AND TH AT IT IS SURE DEFEAT
FOR ANY CANDIDATE WHOM
THEY BUPPRORTT
"DON'T THEY KNOW THAT
THESE PAPERS WEAR EACH
DAY THE LIVERY CK THEIR
MASTER; THAT THE PEOPLE
HAVE DISCOVERED THAT SIX
OF THEM SPEAK ALIKE AS
ONE VOICE UPON ALL POLITI
CAL QUESTIONS AND CANDI
DATES? "DON'T EVERYBODY KNOW
THAT THEY ARE SUBSIDIZED
AND COWED THROUGH FEAR
OF LOSING THEIR FULL PAGE
ADVERTISEMENT AND THAT
THEY HAVE NO COURAGE
LEFT EXCEPT TO ABUSE, VILI
FY AND SLANDER THE POLIT
ICAL OPPONENTS OF THEIR
MASTER?
"The people are growing Inde
pendent and fearless of these
papers, and don't care what they
say. So far as I am concerned,
having lived under their abuse so
long without any Vt cause, I am
curious to see what they will say
when they have a grievance, and I
invite comment upon this part of
my speech."

i. n . .
r ran neeucr aa commissioner of
banking by Governor Stone to succeed
the lata Col. Thomas J. Powers, stal
wart KepuDiicans recognize this an.
potntment as a timely recognition of
a brave soldier, a staunch party man
and a faithful and successful worker In
the cause of Republicanism. Oen
Reeder's selection, of course, does not
meet approval of the insurgents, whom
he has been fighting since they entered
upon their conspiracy against the reg
ular Republican organization. He Is
naturally a fresh target for their
vituperative abuse and slanderous edi
torial assaults. His record as a public
spirited citizen of Pennsylvania can
not be detracted from by the malicious
onslaughts of the yellow Journals who
are but part and parcel of the insur
gent political machine.
Governor Stone has taken occasion
to tell the public what he thinks of
the subsidized newspapers that hare
been attacking everything Republics!
in this state for some years and ha
has shown that he is absolutely in
different to their attacks.
Gen. Reeder Is the recognized leader
of Northampton county. He is a na
tive of Easton, 56 years old, and at the
outbreak of the war for the Union, at
the age of 17. he enlisted In the Fifth
Pennsylvania regiment, and when his
term was ended he enlisted In the One
Hundred and Seventy-fourth regiment,
nnd was soon after made adjutant In
August, 1KG3, having recruited a com
pany of cavalry, he took command ajiit
fought bravely until stricken down bl
a nne bull.
At the battle of Nashville he dis
played such prowess that he was hre
vetted major and lieutenant colonel at
once. He waa mustered out as colonel
of his regiment In this city in June,
1866,
The new commissioner vas graduat
ed from Princeton and Albany Law
school, and was for a time law partner
of the late Chester A. Arthur.
In 1870 he returned to Easton and es
tablished a law firm with his brother,
the late Judge Howard Reeder. He
was department commander of the
Grand Army of the Republic in 1871
and in 1874 was appointed brigade
general of the National Guard. He
va chairman of the Repofcl'an statl
committee in 1892, he was he parti
field marshal In the canvas which r.-1
suited in the election of Col. Barnett
as state treasurer, and is at present at
the head of the Republican organiza
tion In the state.
STALWARTS QUITE ACTIVE.
Great preparations are bplng mnde
by the Republican leaders of this city
to poll a large vote for McKinley and
Roosevelt and the whole Republican
ticket. The payment of over $30,000
by the Republican city campaign com
mittee for poll tax. to qualify Republic
can voters for the coming election, i
an evidence of what the party leaders
are doing. This expenditure of rash
means that 60,000 Republican voters
are aualilled. besides the thousands furs
whom receipts were procured within l
the last two years and whose receipts
hold good until after the next election.
Meetings are being held In every
ward and district almost nightly, and
there are indications that this city
will give one of the largest Republican
majorities ever recorded. The insur
gents are not contributing a single dol
lar to the campaign fund, but are in
league with the local Democrats to
help elect a fusion ticket, which has on
It the name of one Wanamaker Repub
lican and one Democrat. This com
bination will be snowed under by
many thousands of votes in November.
The stalwarts are also working to elect
a Republican congressman from the
Third district, which is now repre
sented by a Democrat, McAIeer, who is
backed by the Insurgents. The reg
ular Republican nominee is reasonably
sure of being elected.
Local Republicans are interested In
the plans of the Republican state com
mittee for the closing i!'iys of the state
campaign. There are busy scenes at
the state headquarters, where (Jen.
Reeder and his staff frequently le
mnin until after midnight dispatching
correspondence and arranging for
meetings and sending speakers out to
the various counties.
M'KINLEY WILL HELP.
Senator Penrose has just returned
from a visit to Canton, where he bad
a very satisfactory conference with
President McKinley. He found the
president somewhat alarmed about the
situation as far as the election of a
Republican house is concerned, and ho
assured Senator Penrose that Oen.
Reeder and his colleagues in the Ke
publican state committee will have the
hearty co-operation of the members of
his administration in the effort to
carry the state by a large majority, and
thus insure gains in the congressional
delegation. Senator Penrose also had
conferences with Chairman Hajina and
the members of the executive commit
tee of the Republican national commit
tee. Senator Hanna has already got
ten every bureau of the national com
mittee in touch with the Republican
state committee in this city. Tbey have
all concluded that it will be easier to
make Republican gains In this state
than where the Bryanltes hope to win
electors. In New York and Pennsyl
vania the Republican national leaders
propose to make their most determin
ed battles for the election of Republi
can congressmen. They will discourage
fusion everywhere and oa.ll upon stal
wart Republicans to vote for the tau
party ticket ...
