Leo Hraman, of Ilonesdale. He is a man of the right stamp, with backbone, and a man who owns him self and will not be controlled by any political clique. And another reason why lie should be elected is because he is a man of excellent habits, strictly temper ate, and for that reason alone he should and will get a good vote in Sterling township. He is pretty well known in the Southern part of the county, and the general impression is that he will make a good ollicer, and, like the candidate for Prothonotary, is not soliciting oi purchasing votes, but stands on his merits and believes in a square deal. We have a few conservative Democrats among us who will support M. Lee (Ira nian for Sheriff and W. J. Hames for Prothonotary, and they will both get the full Republican vote in the Southern part of the county. We do not wish to say one word against M. .1. Hanlan as an ollicer. lie is certainly a good and accommodating man, hut we think down here that he has been well taken care of by the people of Wayne county, and ought to step down and out and give the other fellow a chance. His opponent, W. .1. Panics, made a very favorable impression on his trip through here last week, and I think changed the minds of many who intended to vote for Hanlan, but now will support Wallace .1. Hames. Our old friend Thomas C. Madden is in the Held for re-election. He is one of our kind, a straight Republican, and will receive a full vote from the Repub licans with many Democrats in South ern Wayne. He is known among us as a straight-forward business man, and having served one term as County Com missioner, and the tax payers cannot say one word against him, or the pres ent board of Commissioners, and the general opinion is that they ought to be re-elected, and from all appearances (hey will be. Another important ollice to be filled is that of Representative. The candidate, Warren F. Perhani, has been before the people of Wayne county before, and is well known in every nook and corner of Wayne county. He is engaged in farm ing and is the man to look after the farmers' interests at Harrisburg. These are the men we believe are worthy of the support of the best citi zens of Wayne county. Those who know them best speak of them in the highest terms as good citizens, good neighbors and worthy of the support of all voters, and should they be elected we can rest assured that they will per ioral the duties of their ollice to the sat isfaction of the people of the county.

REPUBLICANS GALLEBTO DUTY Pennsylvania to RallyAbout Stan dards of Taft and Shorman. CRISIS IN NATION'S HISTORY Party of Lincoln, Grant, McKlnley and Roosevelt Marshalled For Battle With the Old-Time Enemy, Whose Candidate Represents a 8hifty 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 lountlcd ami Republicans throughout Pennsylvania arc lined up to a man to meet the common enemy on Tuesday next, when a successor to Thcodoro Itoosevclt will be elected. From reports rocelvcd from tho most reliable sources, the great Amer ican people have decided to elect that t,icat American, William Howard Taft, lo preside over tho destinies of tho nation for the next four years, and fiom tho most trustworthy Information that can be gleaned from ovory county And borough of this commonwealth, the grand old Kcystono state will, as heretofore, bo the banner Republican state In the Union. "Pennsylvania will do her full duty on Tuesday next," declared Colonel V-'esley R. Andrews, chairman of tho Republican stato committee. "Prom every section of tho state I have today received reports by tele graph and telephone which leave no room to doubt that thcro will bo a glorious victory recorded at tho polls nneo more. "Pennsylvania will bo true to Repub lican principles and policies nnd will speak in no uncertain tones through the ballot box. "Never In my many years of experi ence have I witnessed a more earnest and enthusiastic Interest in a prcsl dpntlal campaign nnd In tho succccs of the party nominees, from tho head to tho tall of tho Republican ticket The spirit of 18G0 seems to be In tho air, nnd Pennsylvania, as of yore, la in tho van of a great patriotic army. Great Interests at Stake. ' "All thoughtful men realize that tho nation is now facing a crisis In ita history, In which there Is moro at stake for Pennsylvania than there has been at any other election within tho last twenty-five years. "Tho voters of this country nro to day confronted with the promises and speculations of an Irresponsible and shifty politician, who will promlso any. thing for tho purposo of Influencing votes, no matter what ho may really think of tho Issues Involved. Ho Is not sincere In his professions and changes hts position upon the slightest pro tort in order that ho may win popular favor In any direction or among any class of voters. "I have too much faith In tho com mon sense of tho American peoplo, however, to for a moment bollevo that they would elevate a man of that character to a position of power and Influence, where ho could, through his cabinet appointments, revolutionize the financial system and banking methods to tho serious disruption of the business of the country, and where ho woulS bo empowored to select men for tho United States supreme bench who would pass upon his queer col lection of 'Isms,' which have been tho wonder of tho entire world. American Voters Wide Awake. "I believe that tho property Interest, (Treat and small, would In his election to tho presidency recelvo a setback from which they would not recover tor years. He has never oxhtblted evi dence of even tho most common-place statesmanship. His utterances aro vagaries and, to quote his own words, ho Is 'even more radical than he was In 189C If this means anything, It means that ho as on unsafe man to en trust with the commercial and busi ness Interest of the United States. "I have no fear that tho averago American voter Is not alive to the sit uation." Chairman Andrews has boen fairly overwhelmed with applications for speakers to address Republican rallies throughout Pennsylvania, and he has been particularly fortunate In being able to procure somo of the most prom. Inent of tho spell-binders upon tho list of the Republican national com mittee Senator Penrose's position upon the executive committee of tho Republican national committee, and tho Intlmato relations he has with Chairman Hitchcock and other man agers of the Taft campaign, have been of Inestimable value In advancing tho work of the campaign In this state. MaBs meetings have been planned for ovcry night until tho night before election day, and the attendanco at these gatherings Is but another Indi cation of the enthusiasm that has been aroused for the Ropubltcan standard bearers. Knox On Sank Deposit Guarantee. Senator Philander Chaso Knox, by Ms speech delivered In Philadelphia teat week, coiled forth comsaeadftUca mt woraft, trem rrwldeat Xssmo- t, who Isomedlately wrote a letter supplementing tfeo remarks of tho Junior senator trots this state. Senator Knox, In discussing the Bryanlto scheme to guarantee bank doposlta, said among other things: "What ars bank deposits? They are Bums of monoy that the depcslto? lends to hts banker and which his banker agrees to repay to him on de mand unless thero 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 courso. It Is claimed thnt thero Is a difference, and I was se verely criticised In somo sections for disclosing this view In tho senate last winter, but this criticism was politics. Some editors and orators say tho poo pics' deposits belong to tho peoplo be cause that sounds well. c "The law, however, says they are loans by tho peoplo to tho bankers and create the relation of dobtor and creditor between tho 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 bis hand on a note .and say, that Is mlno, I deposited It. All ho can do Is to present hts claim for his deposit to the receiver and he will get his pro rata of tho assets with other creditors of his cIbsb. If this Indisputable truth wore more generally remembered, it might make people a llttlo moro caroful 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 D shall bo 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, docs such a proposition rest; and why if bonkers nro 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? "13 there anything particularly sa cred about tho 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 falls to pay him. and yet I hear of no suggestion to corap-' tho mill owners to guarantee each other's pay rolls. "Does It stand upon any higher ground than tho debt duo to tho widow and tho orphan by an Insolvent In surance company to which for years annual premiums have been paid pinched out of an all too slender In como by self-denial and sacrlflco to provide against Inevitable loasT Yot I have heard of no proposition to mako Insuranco companies guarantee each other's policies." A Tribute to Penrose. In his peroration, Senator Knox said: "I conclude as I began by urging you to fully consider tho Import of what you are about to do. The Issues of this campaign present a great op portunity for tho peoplo of Pennsyl vania to give fresh proof of their pa triotism, intelligence and loyalty to the great party of Lincoln, Grant, Mc Klnley, Roosevelt and Taft. Locally, let us Indorse the splendid adminis tration of Governor Stuart, return to congress the party's nominees and elect a legislature that will keep In the senate my modest colleague who. manfully Ignoring unjust criticism, hoc. by his arduous, useful and devoted service to the nation and tho state, won for himself tho hearty good-will, admiration and respect of right think ing men."
