Especial Correspondence
Philadelphia, July 1l.-Thres P's-
Protection, Prosperity and Patriot
ism'-are to be the watchwords Of the
Republican party in Pennsylvania this
year Those who are in charge Of the
organization are confident II will be
one Of the most dashing campaigns
held in the Keystone state for many
years. and that the ticket will be elect
ed by a rousing old time majority.
State Chairman E,lkin has sent out
a call for a special meeting Of the Re-
publican organization for Tuesday.
July 10. at 2 D. m. for the purpose OF
nominating a candidate for Judge OF
the superior court. to fill the vacancy
caused by the death Of Judge Wick
ham. There .s no doubt but that Judge
William d. Porter. of Pittsburg. who
has already been appointed to Judge
Wickham's place on the bench by Gov
ernor Hastings, will be nominated by
the committee for the full term OF ten
years. His ability as jurist Is so
marked and so universally conceded
that his selection is likely to be made
without opposition and with acclama-
ton.
BROAD GAUGE IDEAS.
While the members OF the state COM
mittee are in Philadelphia Chairman
Elkn will take the opportunity OF
bringing about a full, free and fair in
terehange Of views. in order that the
members may agree upon a definite
plan Of campaign. The issues were
never so favorable for successful
campaign as they are at the present
time.
The chairman has gone about the
preliminary organization In bvoad
gauged and liberal manner. The Re-
publican party Is to be regarded as
so large that no man who has ever
voted the ticket will be refused admit
tance. Any factional wounds which
might have existed by reason OF per-
sonal or political quarrels In theN past
have been healed so effectually that
the party will present united front to
the common enemy in the coming fight
The chairman has gone over the situa-
tion very carefully already, and~he Is
convinced that 1t will not be a very
serious task to elect the governor and
other offices TO be filled at the Novem-
her election.
Colonel Stone, according to the chair
man. will 20 into the gubernatorial
chair with majority that will astonish
his friends and confound his enemies
At the same time the chairman and his
corps of able assistants of the state
committee headquarters do not propose
to leave anything undone toward get
ting out the full vote and polling Us
large a majority for the ticket as pos.
sible. Mr.. Elkin believes that harmony
has been established throughout the
state and that petty factional differ.
ences will not appear during the cam
paign nor on election day. The de-
tails have been mapped out In thor
ough and comprehensive manner and
the most competent men to be found
have been placed in charge of the vari.
Gus departments of the state organiza'
ton.
ENTHUSIASM FOR STONE.
Chairman Elkin in commenting upor
the situation today said: With thu
war with Spain wiping out sectiona
lines in the nation and with the Ameri
can soldiers and sailors at the from
winning mangiiicent victories on lane
and sea, there Is no time for factiOna
disputes In the ranks of the Republican
party workers and voters OF Penn
sylvania. In the last week or ter
days / have been practically all ovel
the state and 1t Is simply wonderful
the enthusiasm that Is being worked
up for the Republican ticket. Anon,
the great solid common people th'
. Stone sentiment is tremendous. 1t Il
largely accounted for by the war feel
ing which permeates the common
wealth throughout its remotest nook
and corners in favor OF the Republi
can ticket"
1t is evident to the dullest mind tha
the issues in Pennsylvania this yea
must be direct and clean cut. Their
can be no division Of principles. and
is idle to imagine that such an incon
gruous combination as half state an,
half national issues can be folsted ol
the intelligent voters OF the common
wealth. Indeed. conditions have ere
ated, as they always do, the issues o
the campaign and they cannot b
changed, even II those In control de
sired to have them changed.
CLEAN CUT ISSUES.
Mr.. jerks, the Democratic nominee
on one side, and Colonel Stone, the Re
publican nominee. on the other. repre-
sent In their very personalities the tw
extremes sor which the two great par
ties are contesting at the present time
Colonel Stone stands for the thre
P's-Protection, Prosperity and Pa
triotism-already mentioned. while Nj
Jenks. who is ah estiuable gentleman
represents free trade and free silvsl
the two things which the people Of tn
Keystone state will never tolerate.
