come to realize the Importance of this
election. They recognize the fact that

jerks The national phase Of the COM
ing election, With President McKin-
ley's administration commanding the
support of every Republican. that the
vote of the people may justly reflect
the universal desire To stand by the
president, is having its influence in ev-
cry direction.
NO BRYANITE FOR SENATOR.
Then the danger OF electing Bry-
Rnite United States senator from Penn
sylvania, which would be the ultimate
outcome Of the Republican support of
these fusion legislative tickets, has had
the effect of lining up Republicans for
full and hearty support of all their
candidates. The Republican nominees
for the legislature in Chester county
are exceptionally strong and each in
his own locality will exert personal
influence for the whole ticket"
How about the fusion on the legis-
lature?' he was asked.
1.-The Democratic voters, who are now
solid for jerks, object to voting for Re
publicans for the legislature. The two
Republicans on their ticket will be cut
generally by the Democratic voters.
with the Republican vote going to
Stone and the Democrats standing by
jerks. you can see that Swallow IS
bound to be last in the race in our
county,"
A BLAIR COUNTY REPORT,
The situation in Blair county is very
favorable for the Republican ticket, ac-
cording to q report received at the Re-
publican headquarters. c. .. Temple
ton, of Tyrone, is a well known mem
ber of the Blair county bar and a prom
inent Republican.
There can be no doubt of the fact
that the sentiment in favor of the Re
publican ticket is daily becoming
stronger" said Mr.. Templeton The
Swallow boom is on the decline, and
while the Democrats are showing more
interest in the campaign for MI jerks.
this very fact has it's influence on the
Republican voters, and they will be
found standing by their party nomt-
nees"
Howard Lyon, who is chairman OF
the Republican committee of Lycomins
county, was in consultation with State
Chairman EilSin q few days ago, and
he gave a very hopeful view OF the
outlook in his section of the state.
I'VE have every reason to be salts
fled with political conditions in our
county, remarked Mr.. Lyon, conf
IDENTITY, when asked as to he outlook in
Lycoming county. The Ecpunncans
are lining up splendidly for the candi-
dates on the state ticket and are eVinc-
ing unusual interest in the preparatory
work for getting out the vote and roll
ing up good majorities for all the NOM
inees. Colonel Stone on his recent visit
to our county made a very favorable
impression. He inspired every one who
heard him with absolute confidence in
his honesty of purpose and in his de-
termination to adhere TO the pledges he
has made to institute reforms in state
affairs and to veto any Objectionable
legislation that may be presented to
him. His public declaration that he
will refuse to sign objectionable appro-
priation bills such as failed to receive
the sanction of the present executive
and which, il is intimated, may be re-
introduced at the coming session of the
legislature, has placed the critics of the
Republican party at a disadvantage.
Republicans of Lycoming county de-
cline to admit that they have to so 10
the Democracy to secure reforms, and
they fail to recall when experiments in
that line have been effective. With a
candid. manly and honorable candidate
like Colonel Stone, whose word can
be relied upon, they will stand by their
party in the present canvass with every
assurance that they will have no occa-
sion to regret having done So
What about the Swallow sentiment
| in your locality?" Mr.. Lyon was asked.
There was quite a large vote polled
| for Swallow in our county the last time
| he ram" he replied. but he viii not
| get anything like that vote this time.
! The more the people get to know about
| DR.. Swallow and his peculiar ideas the
| less are they disposed to vote for him.
| Business men and other men of affairs
| who have studied the character of the
| man do not hesitate to express the
! opinion that it would be a serious blum
| der to entrust man OF that type with
| the grave responsibilities of the chief
| executive of the commonwealth. With
| the exceptionally strong nominees on
the Republican state ticket we have no
| concern about Republicans in our Sec
| ton standing by their candidates next
| month They all realize the national
|
| election President McKinley's admin
| istration would unquestionably suffer
| in the estimation of the European ma
| tions should the Republicans in states
like Pennsylvania, New York, New Jer-
sey, Iowa and others permit Democratic
victories next month through their be-
! ing carried away by the Democratic
! cry of state issues. In this state the
| fight is undoubtedly between Stone and
| Jenks, as anyone familiar with the po-
| litical conditions must place Swallow
/ q poor third in the race. and here we
! have the same attacks being made upon
| Colonel Stone as the Tammany Demo
Gratis of New York are making against
! Colonel Roosevelt. There they are
shouting local issues and maligning the
brave commander of the rough riders
| Just as they are attempting to dis.
| credit Colonel Stone, brave soldier of
the civil war, but this is not a good
! year to resort to such tactics. and | am
confident the election returns from Ly-
| coming county will fully bear me out
