Gratifying Result of Republican Canvass of the State. THE COUNTY CHAIRMEN REPORT Predictions That the Majority Will Be the Largest Ever Given in an “Off Year” Campaign. [Special Correspondence.] Harrisburg, July 18. A canvass of the state has just been completed through the chairmen of lhe Republican county committees, and it shows a very gratifying condition of affairs from a Republican standpoint. 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 the 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 the 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 sald that he fully realized that the phenom- inal 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 no national or con- gressional ticket in the field this year, it can scarcely be expected that the majority will be as large as last; nevertheless it is exceed- ingly desirable that the full vote be gotten out, particularly in view of the fact that a noticeable de- crease in the majority would in- vite the criticism of our opponents who would try to make it appear that the Republicans of 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 Repnblican repre- sentation from Pennsylvania in the national house of representatives, and which, if successful, might imperil the election of a Republi- can speaker, and thereby serious- lv embarrass the administration of President Roosevelt. In 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 be reasonable to ex- pect that a full 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 the information they impart. “lI do not recall an instance in my years of political work” said Colonel Andrews, in discussing this correspon- dence, “when I have had such promp and highly satisfactory replies to a let- ter of inquiry of this character so early in a politiéal contest. All the letters indicate the Republicans of Pennsyl- vania are standing true to their party colors, and that they will be heard from in no uncertain tones in Novem- ber next as loyally supporting the en- tire Republican ticket.” Many of the letters gave not only the opinions of the county chairmen, but the latter quoted other leading Re- publicans in their respective counties, indorsing their statements as to the feeling among the voters. People Contented and Happy. “Our county is standing steadfast in the Republican column,” wrote one of the chairmen. “We will give a lar- ger majority than usual in an off-year campaign. Our people are 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 ioyalty to the national administration, and will be found next year electing a solid Republican delegation to con- gress to support the president in his progressive American policies.” “Insurgency and mugwumpery have no foothold in this county,” reported another of the chairmen. “We are all in line for the whole Republican tick- et. While we may 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 the average. I hear of ahsolutely no dissention, while, on the other hand, there is an ardent and ag- gressive Republican spirit evinced by the young men of this section.” From one of the northern tier of counties the chairman sent this mes- Bage: “Put our county down for fully as large a majority as we polled at the presidential election. This may seem strange, but a canvass shows that we are going to get large accessions from men who last year voted the Demo- cratic ticket for the last time. I don’t know what is to become of the Demo- cratic party up our way. Old-time Democrats see no hope for their party in the future. They are satisfied with the condition of affairs throughout the country, and are going to vote with us next November. Roosevelt has cap- 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- gion 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 county in the coal mining districts of this state will be found ‘standing pat’ with Roosevelt 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 the 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 or 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. There will not be five per cent. of these old-time ‘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 the state from what I hear in travelling on trains.” All of Chairman Andrews’ letters told practically the same story. The 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 the fact that Senator Knox is one of the closest men in the 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 otf their 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 absclutely unfounded. Senator Knox in his recent interview in Pittsburg showed that he is in full sympathy with the Republican organi- zation in Pennsylvania and that he be- lieves that the Republican party is 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 the commonwealth at heart,” declares the editor of the Meadville (Pa.) Gazette. “Judge Stewart is with- out doubt one of the very best lawyers in the state. For 17 years he has filled the office of president judge of Frank- lin 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. He 18 a veteran of the civil war, where he served in the 126th regiment, P. V. I. 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 bot- tom, and should receive a hearty in- dorsement at the polls,” says the edi- or of the Warren (Pa.) Mail. “Bvery man on it is well qualified for the po- sition he seeks, and every Republican should give him loyal, earnest sup- port.” MOME DRESSMAKING| By May Manton, | | POR BUSY WOMEN.

Senator Depew, at a dinner in Wash- | ington, was praising the wit of women. “Against this wit,” he said, “we men are powerless. Even when all the right and logic is on our side, woman, with all her wit, will ninefitimes out of ten put us to shame. “Thus a man once found that his wife had}boughtja few, puffs of false hair. This displeased him. He hid in the hall one day, and, just as the lady was fixing the false puffs on her brow, he darted}in upon her. “* Mary, hegsaid reproachfully, ‘why do you put the hair-of another woman on yourjhead?’”’ “‘Why, his wife answered, ‘do you put the skin of another calf on your bands? ”—Cincinnati Enquirer. ———— THE ONLY WAY TO CURE.
