Gratifying Result of Republican
Canvass of the State.
THE COUNTY CHAIRMEN REPORT
Predictions That the Majority Will Be
the Largest Ever Given in an "Ofl
Year" CS.npaign.
[Special Correspondence.]
liarrisburg, July IS.
A canvass of the state has just been
completed through the chairmen of
the Republican county committees, and
it shows a very gratifying condition ol
afiairs from a Republican standiioint.
The party Is united and harmonious,
and there is a splendid feeling mani
fested among the rank and file of the
organization. That Pennsylvania will
make a very creditable showing at the
coming election is apparent from re
ports that come from the several coun
ties. in order that at tho very outset
of the canvass there might be definite
data on hand regarding the feeling In
the different sections of the state.
Chairman Wesley R Andrews, of tho
Republican state committee, sent to
each of the county chairmen a letter
soliciting detailed information as to
conditions and sentiment In their re
spective localities.
In this letter Chairman Andrews said
that he fully realized that th<' phenom
loml Republican majority polled In
Pennsylvania last fall was largely due
to the great issues then pending be
fore the American people and the fact
that both national and state candidates
were running
A Letter of Inquiry.
Continuing. Chairman Andrews said:
"There being 110 national or con
gressional ticket in the field this
year. It can scarcely bo expected
that the majority will be as large
as last; nevertheless it Is exceed
ingly desirable that the full rota
be gotten out, particularly in vtow
of the fact that u noticeable de
crease In the majority would in
vite tho criticism of our opponents
who would try to make It appear
that the Republicans or Pennsylva
nia were no longer in accord with
the policies of the national admin
istration
"Again, a large falling off In the
Republican vote this year would
Inspire the opposition to make
strenuous efforts in the congres
sional districts In 1906, In the hope
of reducing the Republican repre
sentation from Pennsylvania in tho
national house of representatives,
and which, if successful, might
Imperil the election of a Republi
can speaker, and thereby serious
ly embarrass the administration
of President Roosevelt 111 view
of the difficulties that might be oc
casioned by the failure to get out
the Republican vote In November
next I am led to thus early ad
dress you. and to urge the neces
sity of your perfecting the organi
zation in your county at the ear
liest possible date, and of conduct
ing thereafter an energetic cam
paign until the curtain rings down
on Tuesday, November 7."
Republicans Standing True.
The chairman supplemented this
with a request for a report regarding
the political outlook and inquiring
whether it would b< reasonable to ex
pect that a lull vote can be polled.
In response to this letter. Chairman
Andrews has received answers from
every Republican county chairman In
the state and he is more than delight
ed with th< information they impart.
"I do not recall an instance in my
years of political work" said Colonel
Andrews, in discussing this correspon
dence. "when 1 have had sir h prompt
and highly satisfy torv replies to a let
ter of inquiry of this 1 haracter so early
In a polUiia. foulest All the letters

fire Republican ticket."

but the latter «j;:o»e-l othi 1 leading Re
publicans 111 fh < i 1 ret%>»'< »ive counties.
Indorsing th< i- statements as to the
feeling among the voters.
People Contented and Happy.
"Our county is standing steadfast
In the Republican column." wrote one
Df the chairmen "We will give g lar
ger majority than usual in an off-year
campaign Our people arn contented
and happy They believe in Roosevelt
and they propose that the Republican
party of Pennsylvnaia shall herald to
the world in November next that the
Keystone state Is not faltering In her
loyalty to th" national administration
snd will be found next year e!®cting
s solid Republican delegation to con
gress to support the president In his
progressive American policies."
"Insurgency and miigwumpery have
no foothold in this county," reported
another of the chairman 'We are all
lo line for the who I.• Republican tick
st. While we niay not get out as many
votes as we did for President Roose
velt. we will more than hold our own
for a state election and our majority
will be above th< average I hear of
absolutely no dissention while, on the
other hand, there is an ardent and ae:
gresslve Republican spirit evinced by
the young men of this section."
From one of the northern tier of
counties the chairman sent this mes
sage
"Put our county down for fully as
large a majority as we polled at the
pre*identtai election This may seem
strange but a canvwss shows that we
aro aolng to get large accessions fro.ll
men wbo last year voted the Demo
fcratlc tlelf«t for the last time I don't
know what Is to become of the
cratlc party up our way Old-time
Democrat® see no hone for their party
In tho future. They are satisfied wltb
the condition of affairs throughout tho
country, and are going to vote with ua
next November. Roosevelt has caj>
tured many of them, and they are
going to be with us from now on.
Our people are prosperous."
Coal Mining Regions Loyal.
Throughout the anthracite coal re
glon there appears to be an unusually
confident spirit shown In the corres
pondence received by Chairman An
drews. One chairman from this region
among other things said
"Every eounty In tho coal mining
districts of this state will be found
'standing pat' with Koosovelt and the
Republican party. Our men are em
ployed and contented They have no
concern as to the future, and they are
determined to vote the full Republican
ticket They believe In letting well
enough alone. They want no change,
and cannot be switched from the Re
publican ticket by any arguments or
chicanery of Independent Republican
or other assistant Democrats."
One of the western county chairmen,
after predicting that his county would
Increase Its Republican majority over
tho highest figure ever given in an off
year, added:
"I bank upon this estimate because
after having Interviewed several hun
dred of our active Republicans I dis
covered a remarkable condition of af
fairs. We have for years been both
ered with an element which, while pro
fessing Republican principles, have al
ways found one pretext c another to
vote against our ticket.
"Kickers" Stop Kicking.
"They do not comprise over three
hundred voters all told, but three hun
dred voters for the ticket means quite
a difference In the size of the majority.
Thero will not be live per cent, of these
old-tlino 'kickers' against us this fall.
They may all get Into line before elec
tion day. Stalwart Republicanism
seems to be in the air, and that Is why
you may look for a splendid showing
from our county; In fact, I believe you
will have the same reports from all
parts of this section of tho state from
what I hear In travelling on trains."
All of Chairman Andrews' letters
told practically the same story. Tho
majority will surely be above the aver
age for an "off-year "
There was no room to question the
Intense party fervor which exists.
PENROSE AND KNOX
They Stand Well With the President,
and Are Working In Harmony.
Washington. July 18 —Members of
the Pennsylvania official colony here
are still talking about the conference
which Senator Knox held with Presi
dent Roosevelt last week at Oyster
Bay. There is no doubt of tho fact
that Senator Knox Is one of the closest
men in tho country to the president.
Roosevelt has great respect for his
Judgment and it is known that ques
tions of the highest Importance were
discussed at this conference.
Pennsylvania's two United States
senators stand well with the president,
and they are working in absolute har
mony In looking after the interests of
Ihelr constituents in the Keystone state.
Senator Penrose, in his last visit to
the White House, which was Just be
fore the Roosevelt family left on their
summer vacation, had a very satisfac
tory talk with the president, and the
latter showed his appreciation of the
cordial support of the senior senator
from Pennsylvania by giving him two
Important consular appointments that
very day.
One of these places went to Maxwell
Kennedy Moorehead, of Pittsburg, who
was appointed consul to a desirable
post in Canada, and the other was
landed by B. F. Chase, former chair
man of the Clearfield county Republi
can committee, who goes to Catania,
Italy.
Probably in no other state in the
union do the two United States sena
tors work in greater harmony than do
Senators Penrose and Knox.
* Every now and then reports to the
contrary emanate from Philadelphia,
but they are absolutely unfounded.
Senator Knox In his recent Interview
In Pittsburg showed that he is in full
sympathy with the Republican organi
sation in Pennsylvania and that he be
lieves that the Republican party la
quite competent to manage its own af
fairs without seeking advice or assist
ance from Democrats or others who
are not good Republicans.
Judge Stewart's Popularity.
"Governor Pennypacker's appoint
ment of Judge John Stewart, of Frank
lin county, to the vacancy on the state
supreme bench gave universal satis
faction to all who have the best Inter
ests of tho commonwealth at heart,"
declares the editor of the Meadville
(Pa ) Gaiette. "Judge Stewart is with
out doubt ono of the very best lawyers
In the state. For 17 years he has filled
the office of president Judge) of Frank
tin county, and his decisions have been
reversed by the supreme court a fewer
number of times than those of any
other common pleas judge in the state.
Ho Is a veteran of the civil war, where
he served in the 12*ith regiment, P V.
1. He stands for all that Is best In Re
publicanism, and will receive the full
party vote should he be nominated for
the full term, as he undoubtedly will
be"
A Strong Ticket.
"The Republican state ticket Is a
thoroughly good one from top to hot
torn, and should receive a hearty In
dorseinent at the polls.'" says the edi
or of the Warren (Pa ) Mail "Every
man on it la well qualified for the po
sition he seeks, and every Republican
should give him loyal, earnest eup
port."

Two neighbors were conversing Ui«•
other day when one said to the other:
"By the way, how is Mrs. Hogg, the
Invalid, going on?"
"Oh," replied the oilier, "they do not
call her Mrs Hogg now "
"Why, what do they call her?"
"Oh,-they call her Mrs Bacon now

MINOR MATTERS
OF INTEREST
The farmers in the central part of
the comity whose homes are connected
with the People's Telephone System
are delighted with their experience
and begin to wonder how they manag
ed to got along without the 'phone. A
well known farmer on the peoples
system ychterduy explained how lie
was spared the necessity of a long
drive Monday morning. The family
hid important business with a party
in Danville and it began to look as
thoiign. busy as was the season,one of
the teams would have to stop in order
to furnish a horse for a drive to town,
when it was discovered that the party
could be reached by 'phone. Therefore
by the expenditure of five cents the
busine-s was satisfactorily transacted
and the team was kept at work on the
farm. The gentle man stated that hav
ing already the rural free delivery all
that is needed is a parcel post in order
to give the farmer the most of the con
veniences that aie enjoyed in town.
The paicel post be believes will come
in time. This is nothing more than
an extension of the business of the
post office department, the carrying
of parcels and packages and delivering
them along with what is strictly known
as mail matter not only 011 free de
livery routes in tqwn hut upon the r.
1. d. routes in the country; it means
111 short that about all the business
done by the express companies will be
done by the post office department.
The farmers generally are warm advo
cates of the parcels post and uo doubt
will stijk to it uutil they get what
they want.
* H *
The hot weather has formed a gen
eral theme of conversation among all
classes during the last couple of days.
A number of Danville people have
traveled extensively and describe in
teresting hot weather experiences in
different countries they have visited.
Dennis Bright, who owns an orange
grove in Florida; who spends bis win
ters there and knows what the climate
is like in the summer, says that the
heat is not intense in Florida—that
while mercury was up in the 90's here
during the early part of the week at
various points in Florida it was only
in the 80's. It is not the intense beat
which drives people out of Florida in
the summer but the duration of it.
"Think of it," Mr Bright remarked,
"Mercury among the StO's day alter
day, week after week and month after
month, with uo relief in sight until
the season is over".
Our townsman, Jacob Doster, who
recently left fjr the Portland Ex
position, writes home from Seattle that
people are enjoying the comfort of
overcoats there during the evenings.
Bruce liartniati, who has lived ou
the Sandwich Islands for some years
past,states that he finds the heat much
more oppressive here than on the Is
lands. During the warm season the
days there are very frequently as hot
as during our present record breaking
hot spell, but the nights are cool and
it is there where the relief comes in.
W. P. Khodes, ol' Natchez, Miss.,
who came north anticipating a cool
summer, fiuds himself worse off than
at Natchez. While such temperatures
as we are experiencing here are very
common in Mississippi during the day
the nights are uniformly cool. No
matter how hot the day with the ap
proach of darkness a cool wind sets in
from the Gulf of Mexico insuring to
every one fatigued by the day's beat
sound refreshing sleep.
Fioui the al>ove it would seem tha
our portion of tlio «lolie is unique, ii
that the (lavs and nights alike are ho
and afford humanity little relief a
long as a hut wave lasts It is a (lis
advantage not to he lightly estimated
In the crowded cities it is res|ionsihlt
for much suffering and ruauy death
among the children, the aged and tin
infirm of the poorer classes.

'. 9 Truly "hope tarings eternal in the
human breast!" I low many Inventors
have gone to Monte <'arlo with Infalli
ble s\>t«'ins It is Impossible to say,
but probably they are to b<* numbered
by millions, uud not one of tbem bus
returned the victor. It Is the ambi
tion doubtless of every visitor to the
fascinating tables of Monte Carlo to
"break the bank." Any player with an
extraordinary run of good luck and the
lierve t*> press It Is liable to "break the
bank," as the expression Is commonly
understood, but lioone will ever "break
the bunk" at Monte Carlo In the true
sense of the phrase.
At the famous gaming rooms there
is not one, but many tables at which
players may stake. Each table starts
play for the day with a capital of 100,-
OiiO francs, anil when thut sum Is ex
hausted the bank at that particular ta
ble is broken, and play is suspended
until a fr**sh bank of 100,000 francs Is
brought by the attendants a matter of
a minute or two.
But to break the bank In the true
sense would be to exhaust the entire
capital of the casino, and that will
never hhppen, for three simple reasons.
The first Is that the bank luys unfair
odds to the player. This 1 will illus
trate as simply as possible.
At roulette, the most popular form of
gambling, there are thirty-seven num
bers from 1 to 30 Inclusive and 0, or
zero. It is plain that the fair odds
iffealnst a player correctly picking one
of these thirty-seven numbers are 30
t-i 1. But the bank only lays 85 to 1
Hence the bank has always, roughly
speaking, a 3 per cent advantage over
the player. To put It another way, If
u player backs the same number thlr
ty seven times he ought, according to
the fair odds, to come out exactly
square, but at Monte Carlo he cannot
do so. 11c must lose a point.
This advantage of the bank applies
to all the other chances besides the
numbers on which the player may
stake.
Take, for example, the so called
"even" chance of red or black. Of the
thirty-seven numbers eighteen are red.
eighteen black, the thirty-seventh, zero,
having nominally no color.
It Is obvious that if a player backs
red there are nineteen chances (eight
een blacks and zero* against his being
correct. The fair odds are nineteen to
eighteen against him, but the bank
only lays even money.
The advantage to the bank does not
end here, for when zero turns up the
bank takes all stakes except those on
zero and the even money chances. The
latter are put aside—"en prise" Is the
technical term.
If on the next turn of the wheel the
player on these even chances wins his
stake Is released, and he may pick it
up, but he wins nothing.
To win he must stake again, and
thus when zero turns up it is at least
two to one against a player on an
"even money" chance.
The second reason why the bank
must always win In the long run Is the
existence of the "maximum."
The maximum (0,000 francs, or £240)
Is the highest amount a player can win
on any one chance. If a player with
unlimited resources could goon play
ing "double or quits" with the casino
Indefinitely he would eventually break
the bank lu the full sense of the term.
But you cannot play "double or quits"
with M. Blanc for long.
Starting with the minimum stake al
lowed viz, 5 franca -and doubling
your stakes each time, your eleventh
stake, supposing you to win or lose
:onsecutlvely, would be over 5,000
francs, and you could double no longer.
In other words, you would have come
to a point at which you could not on
ono turn of the wheel either double
your winnings or recoup all your losses.
All systems are designed to nullify
the effects of zero and the maximum.
If one could be certain that zero would
turn up, as It ought to turn up, once In
every thirty-seven turns, It could be
provided against,, and caslpo. even
witn me Help of the maximum, •would
be in a bad way.
Hut no sueh certainty Is possible,
and therefor** every system splits on
this rock And so with the maximum.
Perhaps the most fatal systems of nil
nr<* those based upon the theory that
!f red has conn' up a certain number
of times running black will follow. To
illustrate the folly of this theory, take
the following example: If you toss a
penny lu the air 1,000 times and it
conies heads times it Is of course
only even money on its being tails tho
next time.
The third reason, if, Indeed, another
be needed, why the bank must always
win is that the human and fallible play
er is always playing against an in
fallible machine.
The slightest mistake in calculation,
the least Inattention, and the system
breaks down And to err is human
So Monte Carlo flourishes and always
will flourish so long as tho law allows
