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.”

The Wit of Women.
Senator Depew, at a dinner in Wash- |

“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?’”’
