Roosevelt Makes Progrec-

Encouraging news comes from New
York state. Everywhere within it's
borders Republicans are lining up.
Each day adds to Roosevelt's strength.
While 200 Republican orators are
arousng the people daily and nightly,
the organization. too, is doing it's part.
Warrants have been issued for the ar
rest of 10000 men fraudulently regist-
cred by Tammany and these will be
served If the men show their faces at
the polls. Preparations of an effective
nature are being made to keep a watch
on Tammany election officers and
especially upon the tally sheet. There
doubtless will be much fraud at best
but if reports can be trusted, perpetra-
ton of 1t is this year to be made un-
usually difficult.
As the case stands, the best and
worst elements in our civil life are
now arrayed against each other in the
Empire state in practically unbroken
columns. Tammany Is fighting not so
much to save what she now possesses
as to gain the chance to rule and loot
porters of Roosevelt are fighting not
only in behalf of clean ideals and in
telligent government but also for self
preservation They recognize that the
election Of Van WyCk would anchor
Tammany invulnerably in power for
years to come and they know that this
would mean favoritism in contracts.
franchise huckstering and the purchase
and sale of legislation and immunity
from prosecution to an unparalleled
degree. Knowing this, they are throw
ing themselves into the struggle with
an ardor hitherto undeveloped.
We do not minimize the difficulties
in front of Colonel Roosevelt when we
say that the chances are becoming
brighter for him to win another char
aCteristiC victory. He has to fear not
only Tammany but every other polit-
ical and commercial influence which
would be inconvenienced by the pres
ence of an uncompromisingly honest
and courageous man in the executive
chair at Albany: yet the pluck, daring
and steadiness of his leadership are
inspiring among the people the kind of
enthusiasm that wins: and if we re-
sided in New York we should think
twice before wagering on Van Wyck.

Pennsylvania Now
the Pivotal State.

From the Pittsburg CommerUiai-Gazette.
n N 1882 and again in 1880 the Republicans
of Pennsylvania through apGthy ana
experiments with Democratic prom
" ises permitted the state to go Demo-
cratic and by so doing. In each in
stance, they encouraged the forces op-
posed to Repubicanism throughout the
country to rally for the presidential cam
paign two years later. They did rally,
and they won in both instances. Penn
sylvania did not line up with them when
the presidential contests came, but by
going Democratic in the preceding state
campaigns II had placed every doubtful
state in the Democratic column, ana It's
own return to its senses was too late TO
counteract the effect 1t had produced by
seeming to have turned its back upon Re-
publican principles.
--:o.-
It counted for nothing that It had not
done so, but had made the mistake OF
accepting the explanation that those
state campaigns had no relation to ma
tional affairs. and OF lndulging in off-year
apathy and experiments. What was the
result to the nation Of the political chang
es for which Pennsylvania was thus 80
responsible? Certainly the last period of
comercial and industrial depressiol
closed manufacturing plants and general
cries of distress are not so far back that
the memory of II needs any refreshing.
Not until the election of Republican ad-
ministration and the beginning Of the res
toration of Republican policies were as
sured did the country begin tn emerge
from that period of depression. Are there
any voters in Pennsylvania whose memo
ries are 80 short that they do not confirm
these statements?

years in Sixth avenue eating house
the other day. In the days of their
prosperity one Of them was political
lever and was called colonel. He had
been on the governors staff. The other
in some way had acquired the title OF
captain. Both had front seats in every
event Of the town in which they had
lived. The governors ornament is now
a plain bookkeeper in Broad street. The
other man is a dry goods clerk.
After greetings, explanations, and
few mournful references to perished
delights, they had a combination meal,

bay horse in the governors parade, and
who had commanded the populace Of his
town to stand back, said in n low,
mourner-like tone:
