MKINLBYS FRIENDS
SOUND A WARNING.
Members ofthe Union LeagueSpeak
Foroibly to Pennsylvania
Republicans.
THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE"

A Significant and Timely Declaration From
Men Who Take Patriotic View of the
Solemn Duty Which Every Voter Will
Be Called Upon to Perform in 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
sylvania, a number of leading MEM
bers of the Union League, of Philadel
phia, have united in 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 number of con-
1idential 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 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
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:
Stop! Think! Then vote.
Don't wait until after you have voted be-
fore you think
! Stand by Mckinley
Stand by the flag
No sin Ncere, earnest Republican will,
by his vote, aid the Swallow-Wana-
maker conspiracy to turn Pennsylvania
over to the enemies of President Nc
Kinley and his splendid administra-
tion.
The heroes OF Manila and Santiago
shot straight. Let Republicans in
Pennsylvania VOTE STRAIGHT. Don't
he guerrilla!
A vote against Colonel William A.
Stone for governor is vote to en-
Darrass 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 Republi-
can majority in those states.
A vote against Republican nominee
for the legislature is vote for q 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 silverites, 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!
Stano by the flag
While this is plain, simple note OF
admonition from members of an or
ganization which, better than any other
body in the state, represents the solid
business interests of the common
wealth, with it's active and correspond
ing memberships in every county, it is
conceded by the political leaders to be
the most concise and effective politi-
cal document that has been iss ued in
the present canvass. 1t is regarded as
especially important ard significant
by reason OF the fact that the me1s who
are responsible for it are mum bered
among the warmest persona friends
and staunchest supporters of the l3resi-
dent. They, more than anyone else
outside of his cabinet, ar in a l3osi-
ton to know his keen int terest in the
coming election and of the. anxiety he
has for Republican success in every
contested district and st,tte, that it
shall go forth to the world with ,em-
phasts that the American voters h ave
sustained him and can be relied III ION
to stand by his administra ton in a NY
crisis.
