CRISIS IN NATION'S HISTORY Party of Lincoln, Grant, McKinley and Roosevelt Marshalied For Battie With the Old-Time Enemy, Whose Candidate Represents a Shifty and Irresponsible Leadership and Whose Success Would Be a Menace to the American People. [Special Correspondence.] Philadelphia, Oct. 27. The final call to action has been sounded and Republicans throughou. Pennsylvania are lined up to a man to meet the common enemy on Tuesda, next, when a successor to Theodore Roosevelt will be elected. From reports received from the most reliable sources, the great Amer- ican people have decided to elect that great American, William Howard Taft, to preside over the destinies of the nation for the next four years, and from the most trustworthy information that can be gleaned from every county and borough of this commonwealth, the grand old Keystone state will, as heretofore, be the banner Republican state in the Union. “Pennsylvania will do her full duty on Tuesday next,” declared Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, chairman of the Republican state committee. “From every section of the state I have today received reports by tele- graph and telephone which leave no room to doubt that there will be a glorious victory recorded at the polls once more. “Pennsylvania will be true to Repub- lican. principles and policies and will speak in no uncertain tomes through the ballot box. “Never in my many years of experi- ence have I witnessed a more earnest and enthusiastic interest in a presi- dential campaign and in the success of the party nominees, from the head to the tail of the Republican ticket. The spirit of 1860 seems to be in the air, and Pennsylvania, as of yore, is in the van of a great patriotic army. Great Interests at Stake. “All thoughtful men realize that the nation is now facing a crisis in its history, in which there is more at stake for Pennsylvania than there has been at any other election within tie last twenty-five years. “The voters of this country are to- day confronted with the promises and speculations of an irresponsible and shifty politician, who will promise any- thing for the purpose of influencing votes, no matter what he may really think of the issues involved. He is no: sincere in his professions and changes his position upon the slightest pre- text in order that he may win popular favor in any direction or among any class of voters. “I have too much faith in the con- mon sense of the American people. however, to for a moment believe tha: they would elevate a man of that character to a position of power and influence, where he could, through his cabinet appointments, revoluti-nize the financial system and banking methods to the serious disruption of the business of the country, and where he would be empowered to select men for the United States supreme benc': who would pass upon his queer c 1 lection of ‘isms,’ which have been tie wonder of the entire world. American Voters Wide Awake. “I believe that the property interest, great and small, would in his election to the presidency receive a setback from which they would not recover for years. He has never exhibited evi- dence of even the most common-place statesmanship. His utterances are vagaries and, to quote his own words, he is ‘even more radical than he was in 1896." If this means anything, it means that he as an unsafe man to en- trust with the commercial and busi- ness interest of the United States. “l have no fear that the average American voter is not alive to the sit- uation.” Chairman Andrews has been fairly overwhelmed with applications for speakers to address Republican rallies throughout Pennsylvania, and he has been particularly fortunate in being able to procure some of the most prom- inent of the spell-binders upon the list of the Republican national com- mittee. Senator Penrose’s position upon the executive committee of the Republican national committee, and the intimate relations he has with Chairman Hitchcock and other man- agers of the Taft campaign, have been of inestimable value in advancing the work of the campaign in this state. Mass meetings have been planned for every night until the night before election dav, and the attendance at these gatherings is but another indi- =ation of the enthusiasm that has been aroused for the Republican standard- bearers. Knox On Bank Deposit Guarantee. his speech delivered ‘in Philadelphia « Cig r= ye by | for his words from President Roose- velt, who immediately wrote a letter supplementing the remarks of the junior senator from this state. Senator Knox, in discussing the Bryanite scheme to guarantee bank deposits, said among other things: “What are bank deposits? They are suas of money that the depositor lends to his banker and which his banker agrees to repay to him on de- mand unless there is some contract for notice. There is not a particle of difference in law between a deposit with a banker and a loan to an indi vidual. Of course, it ig claimed that there is a difference, and I was se- verely criticised in some sections for disclosing this view In the senate last winter, but this criticism was politics. Some editors and orators say the peo- ples’ deposits belong to the people be- cause that sounds well. “The law, however, says they are loans by the people to the bankers and create the relation of debtor and creditor between the bank and the depositor, and it is upon this theory that the affairs of insolvent banks are settled. No man can walk into a sus- pended bank and lay his hand on a note and say, that is mine, I deposited it. All he can do is to present his claim for his deposit to the receiver and he will get his pro rata of the assets with other creditors of his class. If this indisputable truth were more generally remembered, it might make people a little more careful in select ing the bank to which they loan their money. “Now it is proposed that this pri- vate contract between banker A and depositor B shall be guaranteed by others who had no hand in making it, no voice in controlling the use of the money, and no responsibility for or check upon the dishonesty or incom- petency which caused its loss. Question of Everybody's Debts. “Upon what basis of sense or mor- als, to say nothing of constitutionality, does such a proposition rest; and why if bankers are compelled by law to pay other bankers’ debts should we stop there and not require all other classes of business to guarantee the debts of the members of their class? “Is there anything particularly sa- cred about the surplus money a man accumulates and deposits with his banker? It stands upon no higher ground than the claim of the mill worker who has given his labor, his all, not his surplus, to the mill owner who fails to pay him, and yet I hear of mo suggestion to compel the mill owners to guarantee each other's pay rolls. “Does it stand upon any higher ground than the debt due to the widow and the orphan by an insolvent in- surance company to which for years annual premiums have been paid pinched out of an all too slender in- come by self-denial and sacrifice to provide against inevitable loss? Yet I have heard of no proposition to make insurance companies guarantee each other’s policies.” \ A Tribute to Penrose. In his said: “I conclude as I began by. urging you to fully consider the import of what you are about to do. The issues of this campaign present a great op- portunity for the people of Pennsyl- vania to give fresh proof of their pa- triotism, intelligence and loyalty to the gieat party of Lincoln, Grant, Me- Kinley, Roosevelt and Taft. Locally. let us indorse the splendid adminis tration of Governor Stuart, return tc congress the party’s nominees and elect a legislature that will keep in the senate my modest colleague w o manfully ignoring unjust criticism. bas by his arduous, useful and devoted service to the nation and the state won for himself the hearty good-wi.l admiration and respect of right think: ing men.” peroration, Senator Kno: REPUELICANS TO VOTE STRAIGHT To Follow Advice of Roosevelt and Stand By Party. DEMOCRATS WOFKIXG A GAME Hoping to Catch Opponents Off Their Guard, They Are Secretly Working For Complimentary Votes For Can didates For the Legislature and For Congress Throughout Pennsylvania [Special Correspondence.] Harrisburg, Oct. 27. “Vote the full Republican ticket; do not aid the Democrats in any way in this presidential year; follow the ad- vice of President Roosevelt, and close up the party ranks and present a solid front to the enemy.” That in a sentence expresses the general policy of Republicans of this state as evinced on every hand, and the efforts of Democrats and assistant Democrats to persuade Republicans to vote for independent or Democratic nominees for the legislature or for congress are proving everywhere. The Democrats unsuccessful realize that the) | cammot ~ carry Penmsylvamia fer the presidential ticket, and they are, therefore, concentrating their efforts in the congressional, senatorial and legislative districts, in the hope that they will catch Republicans off their guard, and thereby be able to increase their representation in the Pennsyl- vania legislature or the national house of representatives at Washington. Much Is at Stake. Republicans who are interested in the perpetuation of Republican poli- cies to which all the prosperity the country has ever enjoyed it due, are reminded that it would be a serious mistake on the part of any one hold- ing those views to neglect his duty at next Tuesday's election, when by such neglect a Democrat should be elected who would be sure to vote, whether in the legislature or congress, against Republican measures in which the country is interested. No greater disaster could befall the country than the election of a Demo- cratic congress. It should be patent to all Republicans that not more than >ne Democrat could be elected to con- gress from this state unless through the neglect or disloyalty of Republi- cans to their party nominees. No man calling himself a Republican should be willing to be a party to assist the Democrats in an effort to embarrass a Republican administration, and this he WO! 10 by neglecting to vote the straight Republican ticket on Tuesday next. Roosevelt's Timely Letter. President Roosevelt in his recent letter to William B. McKinley, chair- man of the Republican congressional committee, emphasized the importance of Republicans standing by their party nominees when he dwelt upon the danger of losing the national house of representatives, and told of the harm that would be done the country by Republican defeat: Every Republican should reflect upon President Roosevelt's advice and impress upon his neighbors the serious character of the contest now being waged, and urge them to vote the full Republican ticket and to ignore the importunities. of men with selfish in- terests to serve, with personal ambi- tions to gratify and who are indiffer- ent to the interests of the party. Republicans are appealed to to stand by their nominees for the legis- lature and for. congress, just as they stand by their candidates for president and vice president, for in this year when national issues are involved, the party organization represents. the party strength and the party ptige, which every loyal member of the party should seek to preserve. x Byanites Get Set-Back. " A keen disappointment to the Bry: anites, and especially to the Peunnsyl- vania Bryanites, was the publication in the official organ of the United Mine Workers of America, the Journal, of a fac-simile letter from -John Mitchell, former president of the organization, in which he advises miners to disre gard any statements made as to his at- titude toward any candidate. Attempts had been made to create the impres- sion that he was for Bryan. The intimate relations that have ex- isted between President Roesevelt and Mr. Mitchell made it quite unlikely that he would be found working against a cause in which Roosevelt is so much interested. The efforts of Gompers to swing the labor vote to Bryan have proven a dismal failure. The latest evidence that Gampers cannot control the labor vote is given in a letter written by William D. Ryan, who is secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers of America, in which he comes out squarely in favor of the election of Taft to the presi- dency. Mr. Ryan in this letter among other things says: Laboring Man to Decide. ““fn my opinion the great rank and file of the laboring people of this coun- try are as capable of making thei: own selections as are the men in an: other walk of life, be they politicians business men, professional men o otherwise. “I have had the honor of attending the conventions of the American fed eration of Labor for several years, and one of the principal features at each successful convention was to prevent a certain element represented there from committing the American Feder- ation of Labor to partisan politics. It is a well-known fact and almost need- less to repeat that President Gompers has always led the fight on the floor of the American Federation of Labor cen- ventions and conducted himself in a masterful manner to prevent that ele- ment from committing the Federation of Labor to partisan politics. “] am of the opinion that this at- tempt to influence the voters to sup- port the Democratic ticket will have little or no effect, for the reason that the laboring men know how to vote, and will be guided by their own con- science in selecting the man for whom they will cast their vote in the coming election. I am also of the opinion that the majority of the people of this country, including the majority of the laboring men, believe that the best fnerests of all will be conserved by the election of William H. Taft for president, and in so far as I am per- sonally concerned, will support his can- didacy, and am bréad-minded enough to say that the laboring people with whom I have been associated will care- fully weigh this question and cast their ballots on election day as their best judgment dictates without regard | to the position that I or any other official of labor unions may take in the premizcs.” SAVE THIS, ANYWAY. Put it in Some Safe Place, for it May Come in Handy Some Day. Here is a simple home-made mix- ture as given by an eminent authority on Kidney diseases, who makes the statement that it will relieve almost any case of Kidney trouble if taken before the stage of Bright's disease. He states that such symptoms as lame back, pain in the side, frequent desire to urinate, especially at night; painful and discolored urination, are readily overcome. Here is the recipe. Try it: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce ; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. A well-known druggist here in town is authority that these ingredients are all harmless and easily mixed at home by shaking well in a bottle. This mix- ture has a peculiar healing and sooth- ing effect upon the entire Kidney and Urinary structure, and often overcomes the worst forms of Rheumatism in just a little while. This mixture is said to remove all blood disorders and cure the Rheumatism by forcing the Kid- neys to filter and strain from the biood and system all uric acid and foul, de- composed waste matter, which cause these afflictions. Try it if you aren’t fwell. Save the prescription. Colonel Likins’ Campaign Publi- cations. From the Connellsville Courier. The irrepressible and indefatigable Prohibition candidate for Congress in this district has gotten out a small campaign publication devoted to the promotion of his candidacy. The Daily Bulletin consists of four pages, 6x9 inches. It is small, but aggressive, and its calorific nature is not likely to change during its brief existence. It is not printed on asbestos, but it may be soon. The matter is evidently too hot for the columns of the People’s Tribune. » A prominent feature of the number before us is a full-page black-typed card from H. L. Robinson, headed “Robinson Nails a Lie.” Mr. Robinson evidently has his hammer out, but. whether he has nailed anything or any- body with it remains to be determined by a careful, calm and unbiased con- sideration of the facts. Mr: Robinson says the gtory which appeared recently in The Courier concerning an expur- gated edition of The People’s Tribune is the lie that is nailed, but the nail is not visible in the.article. Mr. Robinson admits that he has not read the article published in The Courier, but insists that it is a lie, nevertheless. Mr. Robinson is a law- yer. He must know that his testimony in this matter is not competent. Mr. Robinson tells us “that he and Mr. Likins have at times differed in judgment about some paragraph which was to appear in The Tribune,” but he protests that he is a loyal friend and supporter of Colenel Likins. We may concede the latter state- ment to be true, but it does not affect the truthfulness of all we have said concerning the expurgated edition; and the fact that Colonel Likins now finds it necessary to urge his candida- cy through the columns of a private circular instead of through the me- dium of The Tribune, the official organ of Prohibition in this county and this Congressional district, is corroborative evidence of the truth of our allegations. The Tribune is for Colonel Likins for Congress, but it evidently does not propose to invite the financial responsi- bilities of fathering all the libelous at- tacks Colonel Likins may make upon Congressman Cooper. The Tribune is a business venture whose ownership is not confined to Colonel Likins, and the remaining interest probably does not feel that it is called upon to sacrifice its investment to further the private ambitions of its editor. ly A Snapper on the War Path. The coyote trotted along slowly until it had come to a sand bank at the edge of the water, and there, after smelling about a little, it began to dig, and presently had partly uncovered the eggs of a snapping turtle and was be- ginning to eat them. But close by, ly- ing on the sand, was a big snapping turtle, the mother that had laid these eggs. She saw the coyote and com- menced slowly to walk toward him. The coyote had his head down in the hole busily devouring the eggs and saw and heard nothing, and in a moment or two the turtle was close to it, and darting out its long neck seized him by the cheek and the ear, closing her jaws on him with a grip that nothing could loosen. The coyote yelled dismally and tried to pull away, but could pot. The turtle was big and strong, and she began to back slowly toward the stream. The coyote, howling with pain, pulled back as hard as he could and struggled desperately, trying to shake himself free, but the turtle held on and marched steadily backward un- til she got into the water and dragged the miserable coyote after her. Grad- ually the water got deeper and deeper, until it had reached the coyote’s body, and then presently his head disappear- ed, and the last the Indians saw of him was his tail and his hind legs wav- ing in the air.—Forest and Stream.
