"" ON THE HOMESTRETCH., - " During tho past week Gov. Pftttlson and Mr. Guthrie held a series of most successful meetings, ten in all. In Philadelphia. Upon each occasion there was a large attendance, many voters of the opposition party testi fying by their presence their sympar thy with the movement to reclaim the state from ring misrule. The party or ganization is reported to be In better and more effective condition than for many years past. A large amount of work has been done that does not appear upon the surface. There Is every assurance of a vote for the Dem ocratic candidates that will exceed that of last year, when the machine major ity, a considerable proportion of It being fraudulent, was less than 40,- 000. The Quay contingent Is bitterly complaining of the Indifference of many party workers. There is no ex pectation of a plurality for Penny packer much over 50,000, and with that a Quay victory ia the state will not be possible. A heavy independent vote for Pattlson and Guthrie is Indi cated, and such a close watch will bo kept on the crooks it will be impos sible to repeat tho performances of re cent years. From all parts of the state continue to come encouraging reports to the campaign committee, at the last meet ing if which, In Philadelphia, and Har rlsburg, Chairman Creasy was assured that the prospect could not be bright er. "I think the fight is won," said Col. Guffey, "but we must push right on till the last minute and take noth ing for granted." Only another fort night remains and it behooves every patriotic citizen to redouble his ef forts in behalf of this great movement of the people against the bosßos. Pen nypaclter is the weakest candidate the machine ever put up. A little more well directed effort all along the line and Quayism will go down forever. Pattison's popularity amongst all classes of workers seems to he some thing the machine hirelings cannot understand. Nothing queer about It. The people know an honest man when they see him and they want that sort of an executive at Harrisburg during the next four years. The unhappy machine candidate for governor pathetically refers to the "Ju dicial robes left hanging in the city hall," Philadelphia. We will bet a ton of soft coal against a crock of the ex judge's apple butter that he regrets the fateful day that he laid aside these honorable robes to don the hated liv ery of Quayism. The Philadelphia Press bitterly com plains that General Apathy has super seded General Frost, in command of the Pennvpaeker forces. Next week General Demoralization will be at the front, to be followed by General Dis aster, who will conduct the retreat on November 4. The labor issue raised against Pat tlson proved to he a most destructive boomerang. The Democratic gover nor did more for labor while at Har risburg than all his Repubflcan suc cessors together. This is tho plain truth as shown by the official records. When Mr. Pennypaeker goes back to his farm, on the Perltioinon, he can reflect on the folly of giving up a Ju dicial job for life to take a dishonored nomination for governor that the peo ple repudiated. QUAY RING TO TAKE ~ EVERYTHING IN SIGHT What Would Follow the Election of Pennypaeker. A CLEAN SWEEP OF SPOILS Philadelphia to Be In the Grip of a Gigantic Light, Power and Transit Combination. MORE LEGISLATION IS NEEDED (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Oct. 20.—The last ses sion of the legislature showed what the allied forces of public plunderers could do, but If the people of Pennsyl vania think that high water mark was then touched they will find themselves mistaken, If they give a new lease of power to the same grasping and con scienceless element. What was ac complished indicated what could be done along the same lines and plans are being laid for still greater schemes. Strengthened by its own audacity and encouraged by its sweeping tri umphs, the machine proposes to take everything in sight next time. If it succeeds at the polls In November it will claim that its policy has been vin dicated and proceed to entrench Itself for the next twenty-five years. This Is not only possible, It is an absolute certainty, if the projects now on foot are carried out. The whole state will be helplessly subject to the gigantic combination of selfish Interests now at work. Elections will be a mock ery and tribute to tlio amount of scores of millions of dollars will be exacted from the people. When the climax is reached it will be the culmination of work that has been going on for ten years past. How They Raise Campaign Funds. The financial bulwark of the Quay machine has been and is the misuse of the state funds, their control of the treasury and the secret support of cer tain interests that keep out of sight. Barrels of money have been raised whenever needed and now it is intend ed to spend more than ever before in a single state campaign, the deliberate purpose being to debauch the degraded portion of the electorate and control election boards by violence and cor ruption. If the agents of the machine can give satisfactory assurances, they can get the money—all that Is demand ed. They always do. No one is al lowed to become the beneficiary of ring favor who does not pay the freight. For several years a prominent citizen of Philadelphia, having large business Interests, backed the local bosses most liberally. He died sud denly and instead of leaving a million or more as every one supposed, his estate was surprisingly small. He had been almost bled to death—financially. A successor was found, who put up the money, by the bag full. He was given fleeting public honors, but being thrifty minded he got in on the ground floor with the speculators in public fran chises and came out far ahead. Great corporations have been compelled to stand and deliver to these public pi rates until some of their master spirits have at last called a halt. They are today praying for the complete over throw of the grafters. Millions More In Sight. In Philadelphia It is proposed to sup plement the immensely profitable schemes of the past few years. The people have been so deeply wronged that it is thought thoy will weakly submit to any new trespass upon their rights, to any new burdens that may be laid upon them. No other city in the United States is so completely sub ject to onerous local transit monopoly. It will be remembered that when the street railway franchise bills were pushed at Harrisburg it was loudly pro claimed that the benevolent purpose of the projectors was to break monop oly and bring about better conditions. Every statement to the contrary was furiously denied. To the last hour of secret combination negotiations, di rectors brazenly declared there was "nothing in it." There has been a vast sum of money divided since and now this city is doomed to monopoly and high fares for fifty years . The com bine controls traffic on the ground, under the ground and above the ground. Another Gigantic Combine Scheme. Five years ago the gas works were taken by a corporation that had grad ually worked its way to the front. The service had been demoralized in Its di rect interest. The people had been so grieviously wronged they were ready to surrender on almost any terms. Facing a winter without coal, or at ex tortionate prices, when they demanded cheaper gas they were pointed to the hard and fast terms of a one-sided bar gain for twenty-five years more. Ex perts have shown that the company rould make big money at one-half the rate they secured. This contract, if It is not changed, will cost the people of Philadelphia fully thirty millions of dollars more than It should. It com prises the most gigantic grab in the history of municipalities In this coun try. "A comunity of Interest" prevails between the gas company and the electric light trust, which over-taxes the municipality through its monopoly, more than one hundred thousand dol lars a year, while the people are like wise held up through extortionate rates. There has been no competition. One little company fought bard, but It *hf <)Wf> | for Infants and Children. CASTORI4 Th(!

The light com bine, gas and electric, including too, heat and power, have been edging up to the trolley combine and now all hands are ready to pool their Issues, putting a steel band around this helpless city for generations to come, with a combined capital, money and water —of at loast one hundred mil lion dollars. This new collosus is to "take over" the city water works, after nearly twenty million dollars have been spent, millions of it squan dered In filtration schemes that will never protect the public health, as has been already shown. Legislation, local and state, will be required to enable these plans to be carried out. With Quayism triumphant in Novem ber and February, everything would be in fine shape for another carnival of debauchery and the enslavement of the greatest city of the common wealth. It remains to be seen what the plain people will do about it, not only the long plundered residents, of the city to be affected, but the self-respect ing citizenship of the state. It is within their power to smash this new combine and all others of the same kind. They can knock out Quayism with one blow and the rising tide of public indignation and patriotism vis ible in every part of the state indicates that this is what they propose to do on the 4th of November. How It Looks In Schuylkill. The Pottsville Chronicle has the fol lowing: The large independent Republican vote which beyond doubt will lie polled for Pattison is likely to have a bad ef fect upon the Republican county, sen atorial and legislative tickets and will be the means of electing the entire Democratic ticket by majorities rang ing anywhere from 800 to 3,500. If the election wore held tomorrow the Republican party would be snowed un der by the mightiest majorities over recorded In this county at any election. That the Republican party Is up against it in regard to the big strike is evident to all who are witnessing the franctic endeavors of the Republi can politicians to bring it to a settle ment. We all know that the Republi can party is entirely responsible for the condition which makes this strike possible or necessary. This is one of the real reasons why the large indepen dent vote is going to be cast for the entire Democratic ticket in Schuylkill county on the 4th of next month. The other reason is that the independent Republicans cannot vote for the candi dates of a party controlled by Mr. Quay. The dose even at a distance nauseates men who wish to do their own thinking. They to a man will vote the Democratic ticket, .and the Republican ticket will be buried out of sight on election day. A Remarkable New* "Heat." The Press on October 14 was the only Philadelphia paper giving, In Its early editions, tho result of the conference between President Roosevelt and J. Pierpont Morgan that practically settled the coal strike. The agreement of the coal mine operators to arbitrate their differences witb tho minors was news of national importance. Tho Press being the only newspaper to give the public this news in the wide territory covered by its first editions, made a notable ad dition to its many similar achievements in the past. The Press at tho popular price one cent daily places its vast and complete news service within tho reach of all. Intelligent and patriotic voters will not exchange a tried and true public servant like Pattison for a weak and self-blinded apologist for the machine like Pennypacker. Here you havo the situation in a nutshell. London is considered a crowded cily, yet 0.4 per cent of its inhabitants oc cupy one room tenements, whereas In Bombay It is 30 per cent. Read - the - Tribune. PENNYPACKER AS A MASK " An Independent Republican's Scathing Reply to Quay's Appeal For Campaign Boodle. Rudolpfi Blankenburg, tho well known Independent Republican, has declined to contribute to the Quay campaign fund. He has couched his refusal in a characteristically vigor ous letter, in which he says: Whenever the machine is in d-inor it is seized with a fit of virtue and at tempts to cloak its hideous skeleton with a gayb of alluring colors, so con structed, however, that the machine survives to continue its shameless ca reer of plunder and vice. It nominated Judge Fenny packer, not on account of his irreproachable personal character, but because you hoped that his nomi nation might save the machine once more from richly merited defeat. Judge Fenny packer at the head of th" machine ticket is as absurd a pioposition as would be an orthodox minister at the head of a congrega tion of avowed infidels or a band of thieves, with "Thou shalt not steal" for th< Ir mottq. Judge Pennyparker's article on the ills or Pennsylvania, supplemented by the fulsome eulogy of his political god father. the invidious comparison with Clay and Webster, make him an impos sible candidate for men who think more of country than of party; men who place duty above friendship, men who honor and appreciate Clay and Webster for their unselfish devotion to duty, their unsullied characters, their exalted patriotism. Endorses Pattison. Ex-Governor Fattison. who has twice acceptably filled the office of governor, has again been nominated on a plat form that calls in clarion tones for the redemption of the poor, boss-ridden, plundered and disgraced commrn wealth; a platform to which every pa triotic citizen, he he stalwart or inde pendent Republican or Democrat, can subscribe, ror honesty, integrity of purpose, public zeal, lie seeks his peer; even his most pronounced political op ponents. strongly Republican papers and partisans, united in unstinted praise when he relinquished the im portant offices of controller and gov ernor, while his associates on the state ticket are infinitely superior to the candidates selected by your organiza tion. _ A Great Opportunity For Philadelphia. Earnest words were those spoken to his fellow citizens of Philadelphia by ex-Governor Fattison on Monday night, says the Harrisburg Fat riot. They have the ring of sincerity, framed in conscious strength of the rectitude of the cause represented by the Democratic candidates in the pend ing campaign. They should, as th y doubtless will, send the thrill of ind ,- nant and patriotic pride through the honest population of the great city 11 the banks of the Delaware and cause such a revolt against machine methods that for years have kept Philadelphia in the pillory of universal contempt, viewed from the standpoint of electoral integrity, r.s to render impotent tho machination, of the political outlaws who have defied the will of the people as expressed at tho ballot box. Governor Fattison tells his towns men that he has been face to face with the voters of the commonwealth in nearly two-thirds of the counties of the state. Throughout the interior he has found tho sentiment alert, active, aggressive in the purpose to rescue Pennsylvania from the grip of the cor ruption ists who have throttled tho manhood and the unbought citizenship of a great commonwealth. Shall the will of the voters of the other (56 coun ties of the state be rendered nugatory by the pollution of the ballot box in the single county of Philadelphia? asks Mr. Fattison; and by the very force of his plea he seems to answer the query with a determined no that bids fair to he echoed at the polls three weeks hence. That speech of Robert E. Pattison to his neighbors of Philadelphia should be worth tens of thousands of votes to the candidates of the Democratic and Independent organizations. It is the plea of decency in politics against degradation: of purity against pollu tion in legislative and administrative affairs; it has the note of authority and command in its entreaty for a higher and nobler order. It should have an answer from the banks of the city of Penn that will rehabilitate that com munity in the eyes of the state at large and echoe the volume of patriotic protest that promises to conic rolling across the \llegheni°s and down the valleys of the eastorp section of the Btate. r r*iws.i H Men's and Boys' | ;5 Overalls, Blouses, g p Working | p Shirts and Shoes. | ; Complete Lines jj fs of if It Fall Hats and Caps, 55 5c Underwear and Hosiery, *0 \0 Furnishings and Neckwear. 5* 4* * 9 9| J0 \0 J ?
