Inactive State are Beginning to Take
Interest in the Campaign.
Special HERALD correspondence.


PoTTsvuLE, Oct. S.-Acquaintances
tell me that my two last letters have had
good effect among Republicans and
that many who have apparently been
lukewarm are feeling the spirit move and
are wondering in a where eam-I at sort of
way. l hope they will remain awake
and soon come to a full realization of the
condition of affairs. l don't propose to
write another lecture. think sufficient
has been said and the purpose has been
accomplished.
Pottsville can give glorious majority
for the Republican ticket when her people
are united and if she will only "hump"
herself this fall she should give the ticket
n majority of from 500 to 1000 We have
an exceptionally good ticket, one that
could hardly be improved upon, and I see
no reason why it should not be elected
from top to bottom by good majority.
There are many Democrats this side of
the mountain who have tired of Mr., Reilly
and think they will be heard, or rather,
felt at the polls this fall. l have heard
several of them say that he is always
rewarded better than any other Democrat
in the county he can well afford to retire.
I understand that the candidates of
| both parties are rather backward in
coming forward" with their assessments.
This won't do, gentlemen. 1t is not fair
to the men upon whom the work of the
campaign devolves, and it is not fair to
| 81 Iafn
through a campaign with an empty
pocket. 1t re luires cash-hard, cold cash
| Wind will never carry the thing through
no matter how popular you may be, and
if you don't believe me ask those who
have tried it.
Orme, Schrink and Stuck, the Republi
can candidates for the Legislature in this
district, feel satisfied that they will win
They are not the least bit worried oveI
the statement of the Chronicle that there
is great dissatisfaction among the me1
they defeated for the nomination. As a
matter of fact, that story of the Chroni
cle's is yarn.
The trolley extensions to the outlying
towns will be great boon to this city
The next move will be a line to Miners
vile over the Peoples Railway tracks tc
the borough line. ! understand this ar
| rangement will be satisfactory to the rail
way company until permission is given il
to extend the tracks to the heart of the
town. The construction of electric rail
way lines in this section is only in its in,
fancy. l would not be surprised to see q
line in operation from s.. Clair to Tower
City next summer.
The Republican Club of this city has at
last started work and has stepped into
the campaign with sleeves rolled up tc
the shoulder. Why they did not bestiI
themselves before this can be explained
easily enough. The majority of the
members felt like some of the leaders
they were in sulks.
There is considerable activity at the
Republican headquarters this week
Word comes from there that some of the
most prominent and influential men in thu
national arena are to be sent to this county
to help Mr.. Brumm in his campaign. Mr.
Brumm needs help of that kind, as l hav
good reason to believe that some of tn,
workers in this county are not working
as hard for the champion of protection as
they should, A visit from Reed or Nc
Kinley will stir up unequaled enthusiasm
