10 BE PLAYED IN A
DESPERATE GAME
Sensational Arrests Are Planned
For Political Effect.
GORDON'S FAMILIAR TACTICS
Worked In Quay Case, the Hill Trial
and Filtration Suits, All of Which
Ended the Same Way After Elec-
tion.
Reports come from the inner circles
of the Emery Democratic conspirators,
showing that they have arranged for
a most spectacular and sensational
game for the closing days of the can-
Vass.
Following the tactics carried out py
men in the Wanamaker-Gordon-Van
Valkenburg combination in previous
political fights, it is reported that ar-
rests are to be made with a view to
sustaining charges made in connection
with the expenditures on the state cap-
itol.
It is declared that something of this
kind must be done in view of Gover-
nor Pennypacker's recent statement,
or the people will not place credence
in any of the charges that have been
made by Berry and others in this con-
nection.
Even conceding that there have been
violations of the law {in connection
with some contracts in the capitol, al-
though up to date there has been no
evidence submitted to substantiate
such allegations, citizens of Pennsyl-
vania, it is believed, will be lothe to
accept this as a reason why the Re-
publican party should be defeated, es-
pecially in view of the manly decla-
ration made by Edwin S. Stuart, who
has said that in the event of his elec-
tion he will insist upon a thorough
investigation of all expenditures in con-
nection with the state capitol, and that
he will prosecute any that may be
found guilty of wrongdoing.
But it is the policy of men in the
Gordon-Van Valkenburg political com-
bine to play to the galleries and to
make arrests in order to influence vot-
ers, even where there is no foundation
for such action.
It was this policy that prompted the
arrest of the late Senator Quay, and
which for the time being prevented his
election to the United States senate.
Arrests For Political Effect.
This arrest was made in the heat of
a bitter faction fight, and the trial was
drawn out so that a conclusion could
not be reached until after the adjourn-
ment of the legislature. Then it was
that Senator Quay was acquitted, but
the Wanamaker-Gordon-Van Valken-
burg conspirators had accomplished
their purpose, for the time being, at
least.
But the people were heard from later,
and Senator Quay’s triumphant elec-
tion followed. ;
Last year the same influences led the
fight against the Republican ticket, and
succeeded by similar tactics in gaining
a temporary victory.
Nearly all the Republican leaders of
Philadelphia were then accused of var-
jous high crimes and misdemeanors.
None of them, however, was arrest-
ed, but John W. Hill, Chief Engineer
of the Filtration Bureau, one of the
most highly respected men of his pro-
fession, became a victim when he was
made to figure as a culprit in a desper-
ate game to deceive the voters.
Mr. Hill was arrested. He demanded
immediate trial, but this was denied
him, as the political conspirators knew
that if the facts of the case were pre-
sented in court he would be immediate-
ly acquitted and their game would be
blocked.
They played for time. * They threw
obstacles in the way of his getting an
early trial, and succeeded in having the
matter held over until after election.
As in the Quay case, they accom-
plished what they were after. They de-
ceived the people, and were the means
of causing thousands of Republicans,
who believed there might be some foun-
dation for their charges, to cut their
ticket.
Kindred influences inspired the suits
against contractors in Philadelphia, the
first of which has just been settled by
the city and has revealed a condition
of affairs that fairly startled the com-
munity.
Instead of the city being defrauded
of nearly half million dollars it was
shown that the work was properly
done, and that there was a balance o1
over $100,000 due the contractors.
But the political game of which these
suits were a part was played success-
fully.
The Republican local ticket in Phila-
delphia was defeated and the conspira.
tors back of the prosecution accom-
plished what they were after.
Banking upon successes of the past,
it is now anticipated that the political
managers who are running the Emery
campaign will make a grand, final play
before election day, in the hope of de-
ceiving the people once more.
It is believed they will cause arrests
in the capitol matter, if only for politi-
cal effect.
Chairman Andrews Speaks.
W. R. Andrews, Republican state
chairman, in discussing the charges in
connection with the furnishing of the
state capitol and their effect on the
Republican vote, sald:
“It would be a reflection on the in
telligencs cf Republican voters to
imagine for a moment that any com
“erable number of them will appose
their party candidates for state offices
next month because of charges made
for political effect The capitol is
built and paid for, and it speak for
itself. 1t was pald for with a half
year's revenue, and there is enough
left in the state treasury to build an-
other capitol just like it.
“I don't know whether there is any
corruption or graft in the furnishing
of the state capitol, but I have an
abiding faith in the sterling honesty
of Governor Pennypacker, and [ am
confident that he would not permit
the expenditure of a cent wrongfully.
“But suppose there has been graft
in this work. It has not been alleged
that any one actively connected with
the Republican organization is im-
plicated. Yet the other side is clamor-
ing for the defeat of the Republican
ticket.
“Both candidates for Governor have
promised to make an investigation of
the capitol charges. Which of them
should the voters of Pennsylvania
have the most faith in? Edwin S.
Stuart, who, as Mayor of Philadelphia,
prosecuted and sent to the peniten-
tiary a City Treasurer who had been
his party associate in Councils; or
Lewis Emery, Jr., who was convicted
of taking another man’s land and sen-
tenced by the court to return it, and
was fined in addition? I have the cer-
tified record of his case from the Mc-
Kean county court.
Democrat Berry's Game.
“State Treasurer Berry, who is most
active in trying to place the responsi-
bility of these charges of the Repub-
lican party is a Democrat. It is well
understood that his object is to elect
Democratic congressmen so that Pres-
ident Roosevelt will be discredited in
the strongest Republican state in the
country. If the next House of Repre-
sentatives at Washington is not Re-
publican the Presidents hands are
practically held during the last two
years of his term, and his plans for re-
form legislation are blocked.
“But Berry looks further than
throwing the next Congress into con-
fusion. He knows, and he {is sus-
tained by precedent, that if the Re
publican party in Pennsylvania is de-
teated in November the Democrats
will elect William J. Bryan the next
President. It's a long way to 1908,
and Democrats will say that the fight
this year will not affect the presi-
dential contest two years hence. They
said that in the campaign of 1882,
when Pattison was elected Governor,
and in 1884 Cleveland became PPresi-
dent. They protested again in 1890
that the contest for Governor was
purely a state fight, and in 1892 Cleve-
land triumphed. A Democratic victory
in Pennsylvania this year would so en-
courage the Democrats of other states,
and discourage the Republicans, that
Bryan's euection as President in 1908
would be the logical outcome.”
MCLURE ONTHE 1SSUBS
Veteran Editor Unmasks the Power
Behind the Emery Boom.
BRYANISM WOULD BE AIDED
Tells of the High Character of Repub-
lican Nominee For Governor, Edwin
8. Stuart.
Colonel A. K. McClure, while declar-
ing that “a man who is about to face
the frosts of eighty winters should he
free from the labors and vexations of
political strife,” has been stumping for
his old-time friend, the perennial
Thomas Valentine Cooper, ‘the sage of
Delaware county,” who seeks re-elec-
tion to the legislature.
Colonel McClure, in the course of an
address at Media, after dwelling upon
the virtues of “the red-headed and
hopeful Cooper,” spoke of the several
candidates for Governor.
Among other things he said:
“Senator Emery has been nominated
for Governor by a Democratic State
convention after a violent factional
contest, and an overwhelming majority
of those who vote for him will do so
because they vote the Democratic
ticket.
“They have read the Democratic plat-
form on which Senator Emery neces-
sarily stands today, in which the peo-
ple of Pennsylvania are congratulated
in advance on the assured election of
William J. Bryan as our next Presi-
dent.
“This declaration has made scores of
thousands of sincere reform Republi-
cans and Democrats to pause and in-
quire what elements will triumph in
Pennsylvania by the election of Em-
ery, and what effect such a verdict
would have upon the future of state and
nation?
“With Emery as Governor and a leg-
jslature controlled by the elements
which are supporting him, would re-
form be remedial or destructive? We
find today a requickening of the Bryan
{llusion that once made even the credit
of this great nation tremble in the
marts of the world. With the popu-
lism of that day rapidly degenerating
into Socialism, and Socialism reaching
down even into the mire of anarchy,
could reform from such elements be
remedial, or would it be destructive?”
After expressing grave doubts that
the election of either Emery or the so-
called Emery nominees for the legis-
lature would be to the interests of the
people, Colonel McClure said:
“Mayor Stuart, if elected Governor,
will carry with him a legislature equal-
ly sincere in the purpose to correct ev-
ery public wrong that now oppresses
the people, and it would be done by
remedial legislation without disturbing
in any degree the tranquility of our
great industrial and business interests
re pm ——— pg = ——
“There would not be a trace ef dis.
turbing viclemce in giving eur grea!
commonwealth every reform that het
honest people demand.
“It would be done by the party thal
has made Pennsylvania the grandest
and most advanced of all the states of
the Union: that has paid, in principal
and interest eighty-seven millions of
state debt that survived Democratic
power in the state; that has construct.
ed every state asylum, home, hospital
and reformatory now to be found im
every section of the state to temper
the sorrows of the unfortunate; that
has spent many millions to feed, clothe
and educate the orphans of our sol-
diers who fell in defense of the Union;
that has given us the most beneficent
school system of any state or coun-
try of the world, and that has built
the finest capitol on the continent, with
many millions of surplus in the treas-
ury.
“With the exception of the expendi
ture of a few thousand dollars on the
State Asylum at Harrisburg, every
state asylum, home, hospital and refor-
matory is the harvest of Republican
rule.
“Surely, the party that has reared
this matchless monument of state ad-_
vancement can be best trusted to cor-
rect abuses of political authority.
“I believe that Pennsylvania should
have the grandest capitol on the con
tinent. It is the one building that be
longs to all her people, where rich and
poor, high or low, can enter with the
knowledge of equal proprietorship, and
it should record in the highest advance-
ment of American art on every hall
and in every part of the great struct.
ure the grandeur of our advancement
It will be the pride of every man, wWo-
man and child of the commonwealth,
and the grandest patrimony of our
children and our children’s children;
but if the slimy hand of the grafter
has fastened upon it, the whole people
of the state will demand that there be
swift and just punishment, and the
restitution of every dollar that has
been stolen from the treasury.
Sent Bardsley to Jail.
“J xnow Mayor Stuart well. I have
seen him tried as Mayor of Philadel-
phia when a leader of leaders of his
party had violated his trust; and, al-
though profoundly personally sympa-
thizing with one who had been his
friend and aided in his political ad-
vancement, all personal sentiment and
political interest were subordinated to
his imperious duty, and the fallen em-
bezzler went to the felon’s cell.
“When Edwin S. Stuart says to you,
as he has said to the people in every
section of the state, that he will fear-
lessly and exhaustively investigate the
capitol frauds and punish the guilty,
high or low, friend or foe, you can be
absolutely assured that he will per-
form that duty with scrupulous fidel-
ity.
“Our state is now out of debt. Most
of the needed asylums, homes, hospitals
and reformatories have been erected:
our duty to the orphans of the soldiers
bas been chiefly performed, and the
state now appropriates nearly six mil-
lions to education, while returning to
the counties a large proportions of the
state tax upon personal property; but
the farms and the homes, which are
less productive than the corporate and
combined business interests whi
reach into every community, are heav
ily taxed, and the time has come when,
during the next state administration,
the farms and homes of Delaware coun-
ty and of the whole state should be
entirely relieved from taxation for the
support of schools, and gradually re-
lieved from taxation for the support
of our chief highways.
“The policy of increasing our appro
priations to schools has been long ac
cepted by the party in power, and the
last legislature inaugurated the policy
of improving our needs under the di-
rection and at the cost of the state. Ta
accomplish these reforms, it is safest
to entrust honest Republicans to con-
tinue the completion of the great fab-
ric of progress they have so largely
reared, and for these reasons 1 shall
vote for Mayor Stuart for Governov,
and for his associates on the Republi-
can state ticket.”

ROOSEVELT’S INTEREST.
The declaration of the Emery-Demo-
cratic State convention, in effect, that
Roosevelt was but a poor imitation of
Bryan, has had its answer in the ap-
pearance of Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw, the best political speaker in the
Roosevelt eabinef, at Republican meet-
ings in Pittsburg and Lancaster. Sec-
retary Shaw’s presence is an undeni-
able indication of the interest taken by
President Roosevelt in the Pennsylva-
nia campaign. The Republicans of
Pennsylvania are not to be fooled by
the gum-shoe policy of the Bryan and
Hearst Democrats of the state. With
a stool-pigeon eandidate for Governor,
the Democracy is yelling against the
discussion of National issues, ignoring
the fact that the Democratic State con-
vention declared that Bryanis the sure
successor of President Roosevelt. The
pretensions of the Emery clique that
they are devoted followers of Roose-
velt is amply negetived by the presence
of Secretary Shaw in Pittrburg.—

INCISIVE POINT OF VIEW.
“There are but two questions at issue
between the Republican Party and the
fusion element. First, are the prin-
ciples of government advocated by the
Republican party best calculated to
promote the welfare of the people of
the United States? The second ques-
tion is, will the candidates of the Re-
publican party carry out the principles
of their party? The second question
might be asked in another way; namely,
will the principles of the Republican
party be carried out better by those
who believe in those principles than by
those who are opposed to them?
“Tt is hardly worth while to talk to
men of sense on the benefit to be de-
rived from Republican rule. No man
can open his eyes and not see it, if there
is any connection between his eyes and
his brain. He can see it in the smoke-
house and the flour barrel; in the
house and farm without mortgage; in
the shoes on his feet and the clothes on
his wife and children; in the fatness of
his horses, cattle and pocketbook. The
seven lean cows in Pharoah’s dream
were no more certain prediction of a
famine in Egypt than a Democratic
National Government is of hard times
in the United States.””—Meadvill Trib-
