ELKIN SEES VICTORY.
Former State Chairman John p. FL
kin is quite confident OF great Repub-
lican maiorities in Pennsylvania this
| fall
THE present state campaign said
| Mr.. Elkin, is entirely different from
that of last year. in that there is no
evidence of factional opposition to the
candidates on the Republican ticket
There is splendid feeling prevailin%
among the Republicans throughout the
state. They recognize the fact that
the candidates On their ticket are men
of exceptional ability. and are popular
and deserving OF their support. There
is spirit of patriotism abroad and of
| loyalty to the Republican party which
means so much for the welfare of the
state and The nation. Not word can
be said against the character. integ-
rity capacity or patriotism OF any man
on the ticket 10 one familiar with
the situation Will say that there is any
doubt about the election OF any one

of PennsyiVunia therefore. will be to
make their rnajorities as largo us pos

is already under way. The iag OF

taking keen interest in the cam

way help the Bryanties by the vote
of this fall so that the silverites shall
, be encouraged TO enter the contest
of next year with the idea that they

dency. Contrasted with the demoral

business booming on every hand. with
our mills all running and in many
places working overtime. our iron an
