4 DOUBLE !
ST. BACK
Millionaire Wanamaker's Campaign
Guns Spiked Twice Within
a Few Days.
HIS FORCES DEMORALIzED.
HIS Alliance with the Democracy
ana Prohibition Forces TO Capture
the Legislature Is in a BAD Way

(Special COTTc1pOuOcuCG-I
Harrisburg. oct. two incidents Of
the past few days have been source
of annoyance and disappointment to
the r-Democratic-Prohi
tion alliance in their efforts to capture
the Pennsylvania legislature in the
campaign TO elect the Philadelphia
millionaire. or a Democrat. TO the Uni
ted States senate. One Of Wanamaker's
newspapers in the Quaker City. which.
when not opposing the election OF regu-
larIy nominated Republican candidates
for the legislature. is booming Prohi-
bitionist Swallow for governor. has
been attempting to make capital In
their Democratic Prohibition campaign
by charging that the Republican state
organization is opposing the reelection
of Congressman Charles w. Stone. in
the warren-venango district.
STANDING BY HON. c. w. STONE.
This campaign invention was quickly
exploded when Colonel William A
Stone. the Republican candidate for
governor. and United States Senator
BOies Penrose went up to Hon. C. w.
Stones district and practically opened
the Republican state campaign. Both
Colonel Stone and Senator Penrose ad-
dressed meetings frsm the same plat
form with Hon. c. w. Stone. and their
cordial and earnest words Of COM
mendation Of his public services and
appeals to Republicans to rally to his
support, in the fight made against him
by Free sllverite sibIey. was the most
complete refutation that could he given
to the malicious Misrepresentation Of
the wanamaker organs.
The publication in the newspapers OF
the s0th ult that the sum OF $50 500
had been paid to State Treasurer Bea-
com by Receiver Barlow. OF the Peo-
pies bank. Of Philadelphia. was coupled
with the announcement from the state
treasurer that with this payment the
complete Indebtedness due the state
from insolvent banks was wiped out.
EVERY PENNY PAID THE STATE.
Il am happy to say" said Treasurer
Beacon to an interviewer. that with
this check for s5O.50O the state OF Penn
sylvania gets every penny due her froia
banks that have had to close their
doors. The money which was de-
posted in the Chestnut Street bank. Of
which the late William NJ Singerly was
president. was made good some time
ago"
A favorite theme for attacks on the
Republican party by Wanamaker and
his supporters has been "the broken
banks" in which the state had de-
posits. The allegations on this score
now fall to the ground. 1t is a matter
of official record that since 1910 the
state Of Pennsylvania has not lost a
dollar Of the S42S. .OOO. 900 handled by it's
state treasurers. No financial institu-
tion in this or any other county can
show as good a record in the handling
of such sums OF money as the treasury
Of the state OF Pennsylvania.

way for new campaign thunder.
