MARCHERS AND GLEES FIGURE Recruits Called For From the Rank and File of the Great Army of Penn- sylvania Republicans, and a Prompt Response Is Anticipated All Along the Line, With Victory in November Assured. [Special Correspondence.] Philadelphia, Sept. 29. Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, as chairman of the Republican state com- mittee, has sounded the slogan to Re- publicans of Pennsylvania for the in- auguration of a campaign for the clos ing days of the state canvass whici# must appeal to every stalwart Repub- lican in the land. The colonel, himself a veteran of he Fremont campaigners in the cause of true Republicanism, has called for a revival of the spirit of the olden days, of a recruiting of the Re- publican hosts as in the memorable struggles in which the “Wide Awake” clubs, by their partiotism and party fervor, stirred the nation from end te end, and for an expression of senti- ment which shall be emphasized by bringing “Old Glory” to the front as the Republican forces march on: to victory. Colonel Andrews has just addressed the following letter to each of the chairmen of the Republican county committees throughout Pennsylvania: A Call to Action. “Dear Sir—We have reached a period in the national campaign when party lines are tightly drawn, the is- sues well defined, and the voters are rallying around the banners of their respective parties. “Republicans of Pennsylvania have reason to be proud of their candidates and all can consistently and cordially endorse the platform upon which they have been nominated “It devolves upon the county chair- men, in the closing days of the can- vass, to marshal the Republican hosts fn their respective bailiwicks, and 1 suggest that we have an old-fashioned canvass, along the lines of the cam- paign of 1860, when the young men of the country gathered in “Wide Awake clubs,” supplying at their own ex- pense their uniforms and making demonstrations at all political meet- ings in their neighborhood. “What was done in 1860 can be done now. : “The country is fully as patriotic today. “In later years contributions have been depended upon to meet expenses, but in the old times each man not only contributed his time, but also his share of the expenses of the meetings which were held. “These thoughts are. suggested by the calls upon the Republican state committee for financial assistance to provide for meetings, with which it is not possible to comply. This prompts the inspiration to recall the faith of the fathers of the Republican party, who, without outside aid of any kind, rallied everywhere and over- threw the Democratic party, then strongly entrenched in power, ani elected the immortal Lincoln, througa whom the Union was saved. “What was done in 1860, I repeat, can be done now, “In this day, when in Philadelphia and Pittsburg and elsewhere the past is being recalled in Founders’ Week and like celebrations, it is fitting that an old-fashioned marching and sing- ing campaign be inaugurated to rouse the voters throughout the length and breadth of the state. To Have Campaign Glee Clubs. “Additional interest will be given to the meetings in many localities if a musical program shall be arranged in connection with the practical work of expounding the principles of the party and discussing the live issues of the campaign. “In such cases, you are advised to enlist the services of one or more soloists, and, where possible, a quartet or glee, to intersperse the proceedings with musical selections. “For this purpose there will be for- warded to you a compilation of cam- paign songs, written to popular tunes, which can be distributed among the audiences that all may join in the singing. Anthem For Pennsylvania. “In connection with this collection of songs is presented the new state anthem, ‘Pennsylvania,’ in the chorus of which all loyal Pennsylvanians can readily unite. “It was given with great success at the recent gathering of the State League of Republican clubs at Wilkes- Barre, and the convention adopted a resolution endorsing a proposition to make it the ‘Official Song of the Key- stone state.” The aim of the composer is to give what has long been lacking, a song that shall be typical of the commonwealth, and which shall be- come as affectionately associated with | Pennsylvania and Pennsylvanians, wherever they may be, as have ‘Mary- land, My Maryland,’ ‘My Old Kentucky | Home’ and like state songs to the | citizens of the states with which they | | - | are respectively identified. “Let this and the songs lauding the | party and its candidates be sung upon all appropriate occasions. “Get the ‘First Voters,’ those who will, in November next, cast their first presidential vote, to form in line and march to the meetings, if only with a fife and drum at their’ head, and with ‘Old Glory’ always carried proudly in the van. “Let us have enthusiastic, patriotie Republican rallies everywhere and roll up an unprecedented majority for our gallant standard-bearers, Taft and Sherman, and the full Republican ticket. “Let the spirit of the days of Lin- coln pervade the entire party, and a record-breaking victory will be the resuit. Respectfully, “WESLEY R. ANDREWS, “Chairman.” There was a very successful gath- ering of active Republicans from all parts of the state here yesterday, in attendance upom the meeting of the Republican state committee, which was called primarily to fill a vacancy upon the electoral ticket, but which was principally valuable for the op- portunity it afforded men of the sev- eral congressional and senatorial dis- tricts to gel together to confer upom plans for the closing days of the can- Vass. Senator Penrose met the commit- teemen and gave them very encourag- ing reports, as a member of the na- tional committee, about the outicek throughout the country for Republi cana victory in November. Dangers of Bryanism. Will Mr. Bryan please inform all the people to what particular class of peo- ple he refers when he assumes the people do not rule? Is it the poorer classes and those largely infected with socialistic and’ anarchistic ideas and theories with whom Bryanism greatly sympathizes, professionally at least, or is it the farmers, merchants, manu- facturers and the great national rail- roads and their employes? Were Bry- anism (with his superficial and wild- cat ideas of banks, currency and finance; his hostility to all corpora- “tions and his determination to destroy all manufacturing industries, which he denominates as trusts, by inaugurat- ing another Gorman and Wilson tariff bill for revenue only, and strike down the protective principle) to dominate the country, surely the majority of the people would not rule. The adminis- tration, with his extraordinary views of his powers as president, and with his vagaries and chimerical theories of government, would be in a state of chaos; and the collapse of all indus- tries, of the farmer and the wage earner, would be such as to cause a further trend toward socialism and an- archism.—Keystone Gazette. PENNSYLVANIAN NATIONAL FIGHT Penrose as Aid to Hitchcock Keeps Tariff to Front, IN INTEREST OF THIS STATE Manufacturers and Articans, and All Engaged In Industrial Enterprises, and Grangers and Business Men of the Keystone Commonwealth Exhib- iting a Natural Loyalty to the Cause of Repuklicanism. [Special Correspondence.] New York, Sept. 29. Pennsylvania is becoming daily more prominent in the national Re- publicen campaign, if one is to judgz from tue activity of Pennsylvanians about the national committee head- quarters, and the consideration that is being paid to the claims of the state and her party leaders. Since Senator Penrose was called to the assistance of Chairman Hitchcock as a member of the executive commit- tee of the national committee, and was urged to make his headquarters in the offices fitted up for him in the na- tional committee's building, he has had to make many appointments with Pennsylvanians about both state "and national campaign matters to meet him here. He will have little time to give to personal or local matters until after the national election shall be over. The direction of the campaigns in a number of doubtful states has been left to Senator Penrose, and he is called into consultations daily upon questions affecting the management of the general canvass. Tariff issue Made Prominent. Bryan's attitude, particularly upon the tariff issue, has been of special concern tov Pennsylvanians, :#ho are s0 vitally interested in the mainte- nance of a tariff which shall protect the workingmen and the farmers of the Keystone state from foreign com- petition. Senator Penrose, in all of his speeches this year, and in exerting whatever influence he may have in shaping the policy of the other cam- palign managers, has made the tariff an issue of special prominence, and he does this as a particular champion of the industries and the other inter- ests of his native state which he be- lieves would be jeopardized by the election of Bryan and an inauguration of the free trade doctrines of the Democracy. Pennsylvania Interests Concerned. Many of the great Pennsylvania concerns, the carpet manufacturers of Philadelphfa, the steel mills in west- ern and northeastern Pennsylvania, the coal companies of the bituminous and anthracite regions, the great coke end cement inteicsts, and the many other industrial enterprises which have millions of Pennsylvania capital Invested, and which employ hundreds of thousands of men and women, have offices in this city. The officials of these companies are pleased to see the interest taken in the national campaign by Senator Pen- rose, as they recognize the import- ance of the outcome of the election not only to those who have money in- vested in their plants, but to those who look to the successful operation of those firms and companies for em- ployment. The great granger and dairy inter- ests of Pennsylvania, which. find ready markets for their products right at home when these industrial plants are rumming and their em- ployes are getting remunerative wages, are just as much concerned and are evincing just as much inter- est in the efforts to elect the Republi- can national ticket. Farmers Are For Taft. Reports from the farming districts of not only Pennsylvania, but New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and like states, which have large manufacturing in- terests, show that the trend of senti- ment is very strongly toward the Re- publican party this year. Taft and Sherman are as popular with the farmers as they are with the wage earners, who realize the import- ance of a continuance of the policy of a protective tariff under which Ameri- can industries have been built up and developed. There are marshalling in the vari- ous industrial centers great armies of American workingmen, who will march to the polls in November and vote the full Republican ticket. A Great Army Lining Up. Reports received at the national committee headquarters show that in Pennsylvania the steel workers, the miners, the cokers, the furnace men, the weavers, the cement workers, the mill men, the railway employes and other workingmen employed by tribu- tary interests, are going to vote with the Republican party. Business men realize the disaster that would come to them with Bryan in the White House and Democrats in control of the lower house of congress, and with some of the so-called Repub- lican senators not to be depended upon in“tariff legislation. They are also lined up for Taft. All reports to the contrary, there is absolute harmony among the man- agers of the Republican national com- mittee, and all information points to the election of Taft and Sherm by ‘| a good majority in the electoral col- lege. Bryan's Mistakes. If the Bryan monetary scheme had been accepted, the country’s indus- tries, agricuitural and manufacturing. would have been demoralized. We should, as Governor Hughes puts it, “have been overwhelmed with disas: ter;” for both theories could not be right, and if the gold standard thecry was right, as it has been proven to be. Mr. Bryan's free-coinage-of-silver thz ory was wrong. As to the government ownership of railroadg, even Mr. Bry: an seems quickly to have recognized the revolutionary and chaotic consz quences which must follow any gov- ernmental attempt to put such a scheme to realization. But how pre sumptuous and absurd it is for any party to ask the American people to accept a man as the chief executiv: of the nation who has stood spon-=or for two such governmental pclicies. The man who reasoned so crudely in 1896, in 1900 and later cannot be sup posed to have escaped the limitations with which he was encumbered. On who has been twice wrong in his man theories is not the man to be put in a place of the highest responsibility.— Allentown Chronicle and News. The Drift From Bryan. This drift of Democrats away from Bryan and over to Taft in many of the southern states has more significance than may appear on the surface. It marks a tendency which is undoub* edly in operation all over the country. While the change of base may not be great enough to sweep any of the old southern Democratic fastnesses into the Republican column, it will count for much in the northern and weste:n states, where there is no negro issue to hold men in line for a ticket whose head they distrust and whose princi ples they hate. Hundreds of thousands of men who voted for Bryan in his two previous canvasses will be against him this year.—Coatesville Times. No Transfer For Bryan. W. J. Bryan makes a frank state ment of his resoucres, and tells how and where he got his money. He is worth $125,000, and made most of it lecturing. Owing to the fact that he is doing so nicely ‘on the platform, it would be hardly right to transfer him to a field where he might make a mess of things both for himself and the rest of us.—Punxsutawney Spirit. Bryan As a Rider. It is to be presumed that Colonel Bryan could easily pass the “riding test” for admisison to the army ser- vice if again required. He has ridden s0 many hobbies in the past few years that he is getting to be a past master in the art.—Brookville Republican. Bryan and the Crusher. Bryan wouldn’t run a steam roller over Guffey just now. Oh, no. He will first try to squeeze a $10,000 con- tribution out of the Pennsylvania boss | by gentler means. But if that don’t succeed, look out for the crusher | again.—Mount Union Times. APPEAL T0 CHRISTIAN CHURCH Made by Judge Taft In Behalf of the Filipinos. “A Great Missionary Work That Is Certain to Promote Christian Civ- lization.” The extension of a vitalizing Chris- tianity among the Filipinos as advo- cated by Judge Taft both before his speech of acceptance of the nomina- tion to:-the presidency and in that doc- ument (itself has been widely com- mented upon in the pulpits of the United States. The voice of the cler- gy has given earnest commendation to the attitude of Judge Taft who when governor general of the islands exerted the utmost influence for amelioration of the condition of the inhabitants of the archipelago, and that, too, at the cost of great self sac- rifice on his own part in refusing the seat on the supreme bench, to which he was both called and commanded by President Roosevelt. “Never since he first assumed the bur- den of the governorship of the Philip- pines has the welfare of the Filiponos ceased to de close to the heart of Judge Taft. In his speech of accept- ance again he reminded the Americans that it is the duty of this country as a strong, Christian and enlightened na- tion to give spiritual as well as ma- terial aid to the distant brown breth- ren. — Taft's Appeal to Church. Rev. Albert Hurlstone, pastor of Roberts Park church, Indianapolis, Ind., in a recent sermon thus spoke of Judge Taft's appeal to the Christian people of America: “Mr. Taft used words of wisdom in referring to this question in his notifi- cation speech. His appeal is not only to his party, but it is to the Christian church of America. It seems to me that every man whose heart beats loyally to Jesus Christ must rejoice in the statement so truthfully made. Mr. Taft said: ‘We have established a gov- ernment with effective and honest ex- ecutive departments in the Philippines and a clean and fearless administra- tion of justice; we have created and are maintaining a comprehensive school system which is educating the youth of the islands in English and in Industrial branches; we have con- structed great government public works, roads and harbors; we have induced the private construction of 800 miles of railroad; we have policed the islands so that their condition as to law and order is better now than it has ever been in their history.’ “Mr. Taft is better fitted to speak on this question than any other man in the government today by virtue of his close connection with the problem, his experience and personal observa- tion of the work being done; hence what he says will be heeded by the Christian church with intense interest. Influence of Christian Civilization. “More than ten years before Dewey sailed into Manila, Bishop Thoburn, our missionary bishop for fifty years in India, predicted that ere long the missionary would find an open door in the Philippines, but God alone knew how the door was to be ppened. “Now we hear Mr. Taft saying: ‘We are engaged in the Philippines in a great missionary work that does our nation honor and is certain to pro- mote in a most effective way the in- fluence of Christian civilization. It is cowardly to lay down the burden until our purpose is achieved.’ True, nor do we believe that the American peo- ple will allow this to be done. The sacrifice has been made, the song of the redeemed people will ere long fill heaven and earth with gladness. - The selfish are ever lonely and joyless, but they who bring the sacrifice to the altar will find the joy of the Lord arise within them.” “According to His Folly.” ** ‘Shall the people rule? is declared by the Democratic platform and can- didate to be ‘the overshadowing issue now under discussion.’ It is no issue. Surely the people shall rule; surely the people have ruled; surely the people do rule.” Thus Candidate Sherman re- plies. .te Candidate Bryan, and if the latter was looking for a stralght an- swer he certainly got it. But those familiar with the mental pre of Mr. Bryan know that he would wel- come no reply, but that his absurd question was asked to instil doubt ir the minds of his more thoughtless fol- ‘lowers. Democratic Discouragement. At the risk of calling down upon our- selves further execrations from a few of the faithful and fanatical we make bold to remark that the indifference of the South Carolina Democrats to the cause of Mr. Bryan seems to justify our prediction some months ago that the campaign would end with the Den- ver convention. We wish that we could be disillusioned; we wish that the Dem- ocrats of South Carolina and of the country would sharply rebuke us for saying that there was an absence of enthusiasm for Mr. Bryan.—Charleston News and Courier (Dem.). Making or Keeping Promises. The difference between Mr. Taft’s promise of tariff revision and Mr. Bry- an’s pledges in the same direction is that Mr. Taft if elected will be in posi- sition to redeem his pledge, while Mr. Bryan if elected would be powerless to accomplish anything with a Republic- an senate arrayed against his free trade plans.—Omaha Bee. ~~ | g.E.
