A Significant and Timely Declaration From
Men Who Take Patriotic View of the
Solemn Duty Which Every Voter VIII
Be Called Upon to Perform in a Few
Days.
Inspired by the patriotic scenes Of
jubilee week. no doubt. and realizing
the fact that the Democratic leaders
are making a still hunt campaign in
the hope of catching Republicans nap
ping in the present contest in Penn
syIvania, a number OF leading MEM
bers OF the Union League. of Philadel-
phia. have united In a warning address
to Republicans OF Pennsylvania. Presi-
dent Mckinley was a guest Of the
Union League on his recent visit to the
Quaker City and had a number OF con-
hdential talks on the situation with
influential gentlemen in that famous
organization which since the days OF
the rebellion has been the home Of
patriotism and a bulwark OF Republi
caniSm. The members OF no other club
in the country did more toward the
election Of William Mckinley TO the
presidency by their quiet and effective
work with the business interests in
the doubtful states. and they are to-
day alive to the alarming conditions
that confront the Mckinley admins
tration.
Here is the timely. pointed and terse
manner in which these gentlemen now
address the voters Of this state:
StOpl Think Then vote.
Don't wait until after you have voted be-
fore you think.
Stand by Mckinley
Stand by the flag
No sincere, earnest Republican will,
by his vote, aid the Swallow-W -Wana-
maker conspiracy to turn Pennsylvania
over to the enemies of President Nc
Kinley and his splendid administra-
ton.
The heroes of Manila and Santiago
shot straight. Let Republicans in
Pennsylvania VOTE STRAIGHT. Don't
be a guerrillal
a vote against Colonel William A.
Stone for governor is a vote 10 en-
barrass the Mckinley administration
and in approval of the scheme con-
cocted in Washington by enemies OF
the Republican party to carry New
York. Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa
against the Mckinley foreign policy,
Or to materially cut down the Repubi-
can majority in those states.
a vote against Republican nominee
for the legislature is a vote for free
silver, anti-McKinley United States
senator to be elected by the legislature
in January next.
Beware of the deceitful cry Of state
issues" by the use of which the attempt
is being made to turn Pennsylvania
over to free silyerites. Prohibition ex-
tremists and disgruntled Republicans.
Let EVERY REPUBLICAN DO HIS
DUTY, and by his vote repudiate the
campaign of assassination which has
been waged against Republican leaders
and Republican candidates. Forever ,
set the seal of disapproval upon Span
ish methods of warfare as applied to
Pennsylvania politics.
Stand by Mckinley
Stana by the flag

phasis that the American voters have
