ROOSEVELT LANDSLIDE
Democrats Concede Overwhelming
Popular Sentiment Against Them.
PRESIDENTS LETTER RANG TRUE
Me Is Everywhere Praised, While Judge
Parker, On the Other Hand, Is
Regarded As the Candidate of Wall
Street.
[Special Correspondence.]
Harrisburg, Sept. 26.
Now that the political campaign can
be said to be fairly under way, inter-
est is taken in the reports that are
coming from every section of Pennsyl-
vania regarding the sentiment of the
voters toward the rival candidates for
the presidency. Men employed in the
several state departments who mingle
with the voters in their respective
counties are in a splendid position to
gauge the public pulse. Within the
last few days a careful canvass has
been made for frank, unbiased and eb-
solutely impartial reports from these
men, and visitors who are brought here
on official and private business, and
there is a remarkable unanimity indi-
cating a great poular tide of sentiment
in favor of President Roosevelt's elec-
tion.
Democrats privately admit this to be
a fact, and when talking to friends
many of them admit that they have
already given up the fight.
Roosevelt's letter of acceptance has
probably had more to do with empha-
sizing the popular feeling regarding
his candidacy than any other feature
or phase of the canvass.
The President's letter of acceptance
rang true. It was characteristic of the
man, through and through—honest,
frank, straightforward, fearless and
patriotic.
His letter may well be perused by
ell. All will agree, although they may
not agree with all of the President's
views, that every subject is frankly
discussed, that there is no lurking in
the dark, no ekulking, no ambiguity
nor insincerity. Mr. Roosevelt has
something important to say, and goes
about it in a straightforward, manly
way. True, his letter may not abound
in figurative language and literary ele-
gance, but it 1s the product of a man
deadly in earmest, possessed of the
highest motives.
At the outset Theodore Roosevelt
was beset, and probably will continue
to be beset, with adverse crticism from
the Democratic party, and in every
instance he has boldly defended him-
gelf; in fact, vindicated himself. The
Panama question, the pensions mat-
ter, the government expenditure and
others are ably defended and justified.
Certainly his attitude toward the
Philippine Islands question is just,
equitable and sensible. He would give
the inhabitants self government and
do everything possible te better their
condition, but he would be slow to
make rash promises, to break faith
with the people of the Philippines.
Mr. Roposevelt points with pride to
Governor Taft's admirable administra-
tion in the islands, and shows how dis-
astrous it would be to do anything
that would again incite insurrection.
now that affairs are progressing so
well there.
President Roosevelt's stand on the
money question i8 also admirable,
straightforward and certain; no wav-
ering, no equivocation. He justly eriti-
cises the Democratic party for, its
stand on the currency question. ‘“fAb-
surd,” says Roosevelt, that the gold
standard iz irrevocably fixed. What
assurance of a stable currency have
we? What could we be sure of with
a party in power that was not honest
enough to insert the all-important
plank—the money plank—in its pla:-
form?
Last, but not least, President Roose-
velt i= highly respected and admired
by the nations abroad.
eround man, with snap and go—not =z
puppet—who has come into interna-
tional prominence. Even in England.
where the Republican party's princi-
ples are not especially popular, Mr.
Roosevelt is greatly admired. A man
with a negative personality, one insin-
cere, unpatriotic and selfish, could
never have gained this world-wide pop-
ularity.
The rank and file of the Democrats
of Pennsylvania do not enthuse over
the candidacy of Parker. He is looked
upon as the candidate of the Wall
street money power, and as not in any
way representing the sentiments of the
old-fashioned Democrats. The feelings
of these Democrats are expressed by
Thomas Watson, the Populists’ candi-
date for president, who a few days
ago said:
“We want to drive out from the tem-
ple the money changers who defile it.
“Can I hope to do inside the Demo-
cratic party what Bryan so signally
failed to do? For eight years he ex-
erted all of his marvelous powers to
accomplish something inside the Dem-
ocratic party. Back of him were hus-
dreds of strong newspapers. He wént
into the fight followed by a powerful
organization; he secured more votes
than Grover Cleveland ever had, and
yet because he could not succeed with-
in eight years the Democratic party
repudiated him and trampled his plat-
form under foot.
“What do the greedy corporation
hordes expect from Parker? Are they
doing this simply for health and
pleasure, or is it a matter of business
with them? It is high time that the
people of this country woke up to the
fact that corporate interests repre-
sented by Belmont, Pat McCarren, La-
mont, Gorman, Carlisle and Olney are
not in the habit of spending their time
and their money on any candidate un-
less they have good reason to believe
that they will get value received.”

A DARK LAR eRN GAME
Democratic Scheme to Capture Con-
gressional Districts Uncarthed.
PENROSE SOUNDS A WARNING
Sacked By the National Committee,
the Democrats In Pennsylvania
Have Been Making a “Still Hunt”
Canvass.
[Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Sept. 20.
Chairman Penrose, of the Repub-
lican state committee, has sounded an
alarm to the Republicans of every de-
batable congressional district in Penn-
sylvania.
The chairman has discovered that
the Democrats are making a “still
hunt” in more than half a dozen dis-
tricts in this state, and that they are
being liberally supplied with funds by
the Democratic national committee to
elect their candidates. Reports received
from several Republican county lead-
ers regarding the quiet moves of the
Democratic workers in this state were
verified by Chairman Penrose when he
went to New York a few days ago and
ascertained from the confidential re-
ports made to the Republican congres-
sional committee that the Democrats
are engaged in a general campaign
through the country to capture the
next house of representatives by dark-
lantern methods.
Chairman Cowherd, of the Demo-
cratic congressional committee, eo-op-
erating with Chairman Taggart, of the
Democratic national committee, has
indicated the districts in each state
which it is proposed to make a deter-
mined effort to carry. They are dis-
carding the usual ‘brass band” style
of campaigning and hope to catch the
Republicans off their guard by secret
but effective work in the districts in
which they are most likely to win by
the use of extraordinary taetics and
with a liberal supply of money.
The Democrats have not had so
much money for congressional cam-
paigniag for many years, and they are
farming it out where it will do the
mast good.
They have figured out that with but
80 Republican majority in the present
house of representatives they have but
to win over 16 districts to get ccntrol
of the next house and elect their lead-
er, John Sharp Williams, to preside in
place of “Uncle Joe” Cannon, the pres-
ent Republican speaker. They count
on a gain of four votes in New York,
as many in Ohio, two in New Jersey,
one in Delaware, at least four in Penn-
sylvania, one in Connecticut, two in
Indiana, two in Wisconsin and one in
California, among others. These esti-
mates were probably obtained at the
headquarters of the Democratic con-
gressional committee, and they give
an inkling of what the Democratic
campaign managers are driving at.
The claims for Pennsylvania were
naturally interesting to Chairman
Penrose, who has determined to dis-
+ appoint the Democratic schemers and
block their game at once. In the dis-
tricts in which he knows the Demo-
crates are playing their cards for secret
work to capture what should be Re-
publican seats in congress he has in-
stituted & thorough and systematic
canvass and has appealed directly to
the voters in many cases to warn them
of the danger to the Republican cause.
He has pointed out that it {8 of the
greatest importance that the efforts of
the Democrats should be met promptly
and energetically, The loss of a single
congressman {n Pennsylvania may
place the house of representatives in
Washington in jeopardy and thereby
greatly embarrass the business inter-
ests of the country, in which Pennsyl-
vania has such a vital concern.
NO REPUBLICAN SHOULD CUT HIS
TICKET.
The election of the Republican can-
didates for the legislature should be
carefully watched.
“The Republican nominees for the
state senate and house of representa-
tives should be loyally and energeti-
cally supported,” said Chairman Pen-
rose, ‘‘for the reason that on their elec-
tion depends the selection of a United
States senator for a term of six years
from the 4th of next March, and the
same exigency exists for the support
of the legislature to choose a United
States senator as those stated for the
election of Republican congressmen.
“In view of the importance attached
to the election of the officialr herein
mentioned, it is plainly the duty of
every Republican to refuse to support
the claims of individuals, no matter
how speciously pressed, unless they
are recognized as the regular nominees
of the Republican party.
“The speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives at Washington or Harris-
burg might be lost or won by a single
vote, and, therefore, I cannot too em-
phatically impress upon you the im-
portance of supporting the regular Re-
publican nominees, who, if elected, will
comply with the usages of the party in’
attending the party caucuses and abid-
fng by their decrees.
“In view of the issues involved and
the embarrassments that might be oc-
casioned to the state and nation,” con-
tinued Chairman Penrose, “it is te be
hoped that every Republican will exert
himself {n behalf of the regular nom-
{nees of his party, in which event I can
assure you in advance that a great and
overwhelming victory will be recorded
in Pennsylvania in November for the
entire Republican ticket from top to
bottom.”
A Sample of ‘“‘Hindend Henry's”
Soft Twadgle.
Last November The Gleaner received
a letter from W. A. Brubaker, » Prohi-
bition organizer working in Texas, en-
closing one dollar for a year’s subscrip-
tion for a brother living in Hoovers-
ville, this county. The tone and spirit
of that letter impressed us very much
and showed true brotherly love and de-
votion. We followed that letter with
our prayers and hoped that some day
the erring brother would be led to see
the light as revealed in political right-
eousness. Now the brother writes us
from Michigan that his heart’s desire
has been fulfilled. his brother has been
converted and his gratitude to The
Gleaner finds expression in a letter
elsewhere printed. All this is cheerful
news to The Gleaner, and we thank
God and take courage. But to make
that joy complete we ought to have
some further assurance that the broth-
er has really turned his back on the
old whisky party and will henceforth
join in the good work for prohibition.
Snall we receive that assurance?—Ber-
lin Gleaner.
Great is “Hindend Henry” when his
great editorials are backed by his
prayers. But if it takes nearly one
year of ranting and mud-throwing
through his paper, plus nearly one year
of “Hindend Henry’s” influential pray-
ers to convert one Hooversville Re-
publican, how long will it take
“Cookie, the half-baked,” to convert
the nation to the Prohibition doctrine?
“Worst of all, “Hindend Henry”
shows all the symptoms of a “doubting
Thomas,” for he says to make his joy
complete “we ought to have some
further assurance that the brother has
really turned his back on the old whisky
party.”
Gee whiz! Can't he take the re-
formed man’s brother’s word for it? If
“Cookie, the half-baked,” can’t fully
and implicitly believe a Prohibition
organizer, is it any wonder that so
many people will not believe the saint-
ly and Phariseeical editor of the Glean-
ea, who makes ugly faces at Republi-
cans and Democrats, calls them vile
names, but yet claims to save them by
his prayers?
“Hindend Henry,” or “Cookie, the
half-baked,” is a jay from Jayville, and
he is so soft that if he were to fall head
first on a feathertick, his pate would be
smashed. However, no brains would
be lost.
THREE JURORS CURED
Of Cholera Morbus with One Small Bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy.
Mr. G. W. Fowler, of Hightower,
Ala., relates an experience he had
while serving on a petit jury in a mur-
der case at Edwardsville, county seat
of Clebourne county, Alabama. He
says: “While there I ate some fresh
meat and some souse meat, and it gave
me cholera morbus in a very severe
form. 1 was never more sick in my
life, and sent to the drug store for a
certain cholera mixture, but the drug-
gist sent me a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
instead, saying that he had what I sent
for, but that this medicine was so much
better he would rather send it to me
in the fix I was in. I took one dose of
it and was better in five minutes. The
second dose cured me entirely. Two
fellow jurors were afflicted in the same
manner, and one small bottle cured the
three of us.” For sale by E. H, Miller.
THE FARMER AND HIS VOTE.
All will remember how during the
eampaign of 1888 and again in 1892 the
Democratic press and spell-binders
were disseminating utterances concern-
ing the farm mortgages of the agricul-
tural portion of our Western states.
Tableg were compiled and circulated
which while though untrue. were based
to some extent upon facts. "However,
during the campaign of 1986 and 1900,
the farm mortgage argument
dropped, and now it is not even heard
of. The fact is that under the splendid
operation of the Dingley tariff the
farmer has not only been able to cancel
these mortgages, but at the present
time instead of paying Eastern cap-
italistg ten per cent. upon his loan, he
himself stands ready to loan to his
Eastern competitor, either on the farm
or in the manufacturing interests. all
the money he may need at from four
to six per cent. This is not alone true
of the farmers of any one state. Per-
haps in Kansas the farmer is better off
than in many other states, and yet
without exception the splendid values
which all our Western farmers have
reaped during the past six or seven
years have made them not only inde-
pendent, but possessed of a large work-
able surplus to use in reinvestment or
in loaning where it may bring a good
return. It can hardly be doubted that
these prosperous farmers who have
burned their mortgages and now have
money to burn instead of corn, will
vote next November for Roosevelt and
Fairbanks.
WHAT IS LIFE?
In the last analysis nobody knows,
but we do know that it is under strict
law. Abuse that law even slightly,
pain results. Irregular living means
derangement of the organs, resulting
in Constipation, Headache or Liver
trouble. Dr. King’s New Life Pills
quickly readjusts this. It’s gentle, yet
thorough. Only 25¢. at E. H. Miller's
Drug Store.

THE WAY OF THE RAIL IN THE
WORLD.
Unique World’s Fair Edition of the
*‘Book of The Royal Blue.”
The September number “Book of the
Royal Blue,” issued by the Passenger
Department of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad. which will come from press
on September 12th, is entirely devoted
-to._special interests at the World’s Fair.
Its leading feature is an excellently
‘prepared article on “The Way of the
Rail in the World,” by J. G. Pangborn,
who has charge of the Baltimore & Ohio
exhibit at the World’s Fair, and which
has been illustrated from photographs
taken during the present month.
The B. & O. exhibit, which is the most
complete of its kind in existence, and
the result of nearly fifteen years re-
search, presents all types of locomo-
tives, various cars, railway equipment,
photographs, ete., both Eurcpean and
American, from the beginning of rail-
way transportation. Mr. Pangborn,
who made a study of the progress of
railways throughout the world under a
special commission of the Field Colum-
bian Museum of Chicago, is the author
of several books on railways, notable
among them is the “World’s Railways.”
Another article by Mr. Pangborn on
the ‘Locomotive Tonnage at the
World’s Fair” comments on the great
amount of idle motive power on exhi-
bition in the Transportation Building.
One, two and three-day itineraries
give pointers to the prospective World’s
Fair visitors, whose time of sight see-
ing at the Fair is limited.
Pen sketches of various exhibits are
also given, and the entire volume is
uniquely illustrated with snap shot
photographs at random throughout the
grounds.
For those intending to visit the Fair,
as well as for those who cannot make
the trip, this particular number is most
valuable, as it presents the greatest of
World’s Fairs in a photographically
realistic manner.
The edition will be limited. Single
copies can be obtained for 5 eents each,
on application to D. B. Martin, Manager
Passenger Traffic, Baltimore, Md. Reg-
ular subscription, 50 cents per annum.
