Philadelphia. bct'lS.
Colonel Weaiey R. Andrew!," chair
man of the Rep ibllcan etate commit
tee, today sounded a note of warning.
to the Republicans of Pennsylvania.
He made it clear that he expect
1 .overy Republican roter In tbli tat
. to-do his duty on Not. t.
With election day only about oni
week off the state chairman Insists
that there must be a lining up of the
Republican force in every county it
the Republican ticket is to be elected
. as It ought to be, by an .overwhelming
. majority. . since early in Beptembei
' Chairman Andrews, from the head
quarters of the Republican state com
mltte in this city, has been directing
an aggressive campaign. Not that the
. Republican ticket Ib in danger;' It is
not. But many Republicans of Penn-
' .gylvanta frequently, take Republican
success for granted- and make no espe-
' clal effort to go to the polls.
It was this danger of over-confidence
that Colonel Andrews had In mind to-
- 1 "Pennsylvania la the banner Repub
, llcan stater we haYe the Totes, and to
', poll the right kind of majority It Is
'. only' bweesary. for, the voters to -cast
their ballots." said the chairman.
' "Many Republicans in an pit-year like
' this, when Mr Is no- particular ex
citement, proceed upon the theory that
the rest of the party will Tte and thus
insure the election of the ticket. Now
It Is an axiom of 'warfare that an
army muBt constantly be on guard. 1
want to warn the Republicans of this
state against the 'last card' In politics.
They Bhould see that Democratic ef-
' fort does not threaten Republican suc-
; cess.
"The Republican party has a splen
did ticket. A better one has never
been offered the people of Pennsylva
nia. A. E. Slsson and J, A. Stober are
I able and experienced men; tbey'have
, records that commend them to the
; people, and they are public spirited
citizens. They will contribute their
full share to a continuance of good
government In this commonwealth,
" Th Judicial Canvass. '
"Judge Robert von Moschzlsker will
make a great supreme court justice,
. He has a splendid record aa a com
mon pleas pudge; he Is known to the
lawyers of the state as one of the
ablest members of the Pennsylvania
bar, and be has the confidence of all
.of the people. Not a syllabi baa
- been uttered against him since bis
nomination. His truallflcatlons for the
supreme bench are conceded by every
body. He ought to be elected by
tremendous majority. His Democratic
opponent, Mr. Munson, is presenting
this state with a spectacle It has never
before witnessed. He Is th only can
dldate for a high, judicial office, who,
In his eagerness for election, has so
far overlooked the proprieties as to
make a : personal . and compromising
campaign for votes. He Is now on
campaign tour, meeting the voters and
making what art nothing mor nor
less than ordinary stump speeches. In
. Wllllamsport he maintains a large lit
erary bureau, which has sent out
thousands of documents and letters,
in which he asks the voter to sup
port him aa a non-partisan candidate.
He has adopted .th endless chain ays-
tern of latter writing and by this
mean hopes to reach every voter In
the state.
"The old fashioned idea that Judi
cial omce should aeek the man and not
the man seek the office manifestly has
no place in the Democratic candidate's
plan of politics. I do not believe many
Republicans will entertain for a mo
ment the proposition that they -vote
for a Democratic candidate for the su
preme court
"Mr. Munson's conduct In the cam
paign1 Illustrates his conception of the
dignity of the highest judicial tribunal
In this commonwealth. Judge von
Moschsisker has taken no part what
ever in the campaign. He haa asked
no one to vote for him. He will take
bis seat on the supreme bench with
out having .violated-it acred tradl
National and Stat Issue.
"As I have rooeatedly isald, . th
elections la Pennsylvania this year r
of national importance, ...A Xat(u,r,i)f
lh Republican of the jjfey'ptpaej.'atate
to score ' handsome majority would
c accepted by tne low tariff revlelon-
.- 1st of the middle west as evidence
that pur people are not particularly- ln-
leresiea in tne protective aystem.
, A reduced majority will furnish an
Impetus to agitation for a lowering of
tn tariff rates. Pennsylvania Is sat
isfied, with th new tariff law because
It Ib bringing prosperity. It should, be.
the Brat, state to, record Its Indorse
ment, of that legislation, " ' ' 1
'.T,r Is another and very sound
reason why the i Republicans of the
Xejsuni State should poll an unpre-cedentijjfl-r
majority at th com
ing electtpn. Next year we must elec
Governor. 'Stuart' aucceaaor end-other
state. atfclais, a nee legislature the '
will elstit, senator Olives-' successor
and a ctuigretsjunal di!uatloa. . A. re
duced majority in November wouk
not only be a backward step; It would
encourag th Demooracy and Insplrt
It with hope of success In 11)10.
"Th Republican party in Pennsyl
aula haa never b.n U better con
JlUpe, thM It today, Put at hav
said, is nceBary that every He
publlcad do his duty on Nov, I." '

The Visit her last week of C. La-
Rue Munson. the Democratic nominee
for the supreme bench, on his cam
paigning tour of the etate, ! mem
ber of the bar and others ad oppor
tunity of rerlfylng the report regards
tag Mr. Munson's political methods' and
his utter disregard of the proprieties
and" complete lack of appreciation of
the dignity of the office to which he
aspires.
No candidate for ward constable
could do more than has been daily ex
hibited by this aspirant for a seat fn
the highest, court of ' the common
wealth. ' - ;
' Upon his visit here Mr. Mnnson
made his headquarters at one of . the
hotels. He evidently expected a num
ber of the Republican members of he
bar to at least call upon him,' but In
this he was sorely disappointed.' .His
coming had twwn heralded In advance
and every effort possible waa made by
Oeniocmio'PQlliicjanav who .are engi
neering the canvass for Mr, Munaon to
persuade' Republican. members of the
legal profession to pay their Teapecta'
to the gentleman from Willi am a port.
hsv ft exuibllfian Wideawak.
But Republicans were not caught
napping. They did not give the Demo
cratic candidate aa opportunity to ex
ploit his ., '-'non-partisan" " campaign
game, and they left hkn -alone with his
Democratic contingent which was but
a corporal's guard.
Anebbrmoua sum of money Is being
spent to promote Mr. Munson's candi
dacy. . . r
Where It Is coming from Republi
cans can only surmise.
The fact that Mr. Munaon has among
his clients a number of powerful co
po rat Ions has been accentuated since
he started out on his hunt for votes,
and the mails have been flooded with
tons of expensive campaign literature
exploiting his candidacy and attacking
his Republican opponent
Misleading post cards give a map of
Pennsylvania, so marked as to create
the Impression that the Incumbents on
the supreme bench come from but a
small section of the state, have been
circulated by the thousands. If opon
these very maps lines are drawn from
north to south It will be shown that
the. state will be? blocked off so that
every section will have a representa
tive on the supreme court.
Chssp Game to Catch Votes. ,
Justices of the supreme court are
not representatives of counties or dis
tricts. Each justice represents the
whole state, -and local Hues nave noth
ing to do with It
" It would be just as reasonable nd
Just aa: correct to argue, that, a, .much
larger portion of vtko, ooutnpnweaJtA
has no represents tip in the executive
branch of the state government, There
Is butoM governor, and of necessity
he ' redoes Jn one) of the slxty-nlnf
counties.. -Shall It. then be argued tbal
the other sixtyelght counties hare no
.representation m1 the office- of the gov
ernor? , T-fce friends of 'Mr, Munson
ought to eali in those campaign docu
ments. They piay do him fearm by giv
ing, the Impression that be Is making
his canvass on the platform, of idem
renreesntatloii. ln, the auyreme court1
This would be both illegal and Illog

tactics simply emphasises the undlguf

water, and local-option dope, when

dawn' bad come. . "Some oue I com
Int upstair. Watson.", h satd. "I
beard footstep on th stair, but
You wonder bow I knew our Visitor
Is coming up Instead of going down."
Interrupted Holmes, reading ml
thought. "It's childishly simple,"
he continued.. "I fixed the second
step from the top o that -anj n
treading on Jt shot down the whole
Bight.. .'The stranger feeen't fallen
vet', and tnuet therefore be coming

? At that moment there was a crash.
Holmes opened the door, and stepped
out. Try again, my dear air." ha
called out to the man who lay In a
tumbled heap at the bottom of the
(tain. This tin), our elattor waa
mora auccesstul, . He entered the
room and took a seat opposlt th
window.
"Did you bav a good garnet"
used Holmea. . . i '
"How did you guesa"
"Nothing, my dear sir,", answered
Holmea. "Your mouth ha certain
line "brought on by earing a rigor
ous word beginning with 'd.' and th
transfer In your pocket tells m. yoe
are a golfer."
"Yea, I play golf. My nam la
McHtlngo,'1 said our visitor. "I bav
come, to ask you to solv th mystery
ef the lost golf ball." -
Holme .brightened np. Th old
sleuth-hound Instinct awoke. In a
few moments 'he bad the story from
McHtlngo. Four thousand -golf ball
had been loat in two weeks.
"Are yoi) prepared, for a Jong trip,
Watson?" asked Holme, placing
revolver In bla pocket,. , "Better tak
a Hctoch glossary," he added.
1 compromised on a) flask; ef It.
Reaching th ground, Holme
lrew out a mloToecope and examined
each blade or grass. "A cow baa
been ber lately.V h muttered.' . : ,
"How did you know?"
H showed m a cowslip.. -
Inquiries In' the neighborhood
showed that there we Indeed a eew.
4h was the picture of health.
- "That cow." said Holme, "baa
swallowed the golf balls. ' Yeu see
that big ad. over there, Pllle for th
Pale." Ube' haa taken the golf ball,
for pills, and th Influence of mind
over matter h caused bar t grow
well and give lota of milk."
On our return to th house Holme
turned the case over to ' Detectlv
Night with th advice to get aut a
earch warrant, ''
Loser Should Pay Finder 10 Per Cent.
"It you lost a watch worth ; DM
what reward would you gir th ftcd
r for Its return
"Oh. 10 or tlO." "
"Ten per cent. 'eht WalL that la
about right, said Lecooo. th detec

"I loat la a London cab kit bag

"When you lose anything be pre
pared to give at least 10 per. cent, to
the finder. Ten per cent la th rec
ognized reward In lost and tojad
