Governor Already at Harrisburg
Marriott Brosius Sounds Timely
Warning to All Republicans.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct 90
The discovery was made o few days ago
| that Chairman Wright, of the Democratic
state committee, was going through the
state addressing secret meetings OF Dem
Gratis and assuring them that there was no
doubt of their electing a majority of the
legislature if they worked quietly and
| effectively to that end Privately, Chair
man Wright has been boasting that The
next United States senator from Pennsyl-
vania will be a Democrat He can only
base hope in this direction upon Repub-
lican apathy or indiffer nee
To remove even occasion for possibility
of calamity such as this would be, an
| alarm has been sounded all along the Re
| publican lines Every citizen is cautioned
against frittering away his vote on any
| side issues or independent candidates.
Great Interests at stake.
The continuance of Republican control
in the United States senate is absolutely
essential to the existence of the thousands
of industries Of the state that are main
tanned by the Republican protective tariff
The farmer, as well as the manufacture
and the workingman, has direct interest
in the election of a Republican legislature.

| States senator.
| With a Democratic governor already
| seated in Harrisburg, the election OF
| Democratic legislature would be dis
astrous to the Republican party as well as
to the agricultural, industrial and mer-
! camille interests of the commonwealth It
would mean a reapportonment which
would largely increase the Democratic
representation in congress from this state
It would mean a redisticting of the state
that would insure a Democratic maiorit,
IN the state senate probably for years il
would mean the wiping out of many legis
lative districts that are now reliably Re.
publican 1t would mean radical change.

trnment in both the executive and legis
lative branches.

And what else would it mean but an i'm

Marriott Brosius' Ringing Words
Congressman Marriott Brosius, a grea
favorite of farmers of Pennsylvania, wa
among the visitors at the Republican stat,

He has been an earnest worker on th
stump from the beginning of the can
paign. This popular Lancaster count
representative touched upon the legisis
tive canvass and the importance Of polin
every Republican vote in every close sen.
