who was elected president of the
league. was authorized to cooperate
with State Chairman Reeder to have
the league of clubs assist the regular

manner during the canvass. President
Moore has since been in consultation
with Chairman Reeder and they have
agreed upon plan of campaign which
will give the young men of the Repub-

present campaign. They are preparing

THE YOUNG MANS PARTY.
That the Republican party opens the
only proper channel for young men to
enter public life and take an active
part in public affairs should be ap-
parent to all.
This fall you will have the right to
exercise that highest privilege of an
American citizen. the elective fran
chlse, says the Kittanning Tribune
Your choice should be exercised wide
ly and well. You want to be on the
right side as well as on the strong side
The Republican party wants young
men. 1t wants bright, intelligent and
active workers. 1t has future before
1t, and you will have a future before
you in the political arena. Other men
have begun at the foot of the political
ladder and worked themselves up to
fame and fortune. Why not you?
Look over the political fields of the
past and you will see them strewn
with the bodies of men who were wiser
than party, Because some candidate
whom they admired was defeated they
listened to the siren and forsook their
party, to find out in years when they
sought political preferment that their
party had not forgotten their past rec
ord. Do not make this mistake. Do not
forget that the world loves in politics,
as in everything else. a firm, steady,
constant and unwavering man. Success
never comes to the fickle and unsteady.
WHAT THE PARTY OFFERS.
"The Republican party has much to
offer you. 1t is the party of Lincoln,
Grant. Blaine, Garfield and Mckinley.
1t has a history of which it is proud,
and looks forward to a still more glo-
rious future. You never need blush
for it's past record. No member Of it
but was loyal to the Union. 1t freed
the slaves. 1t opposed free trade. 1t
favored an honest dollar The pros
poets for it's success never looked
brighter. 1t has fulfilled every prom
Use. Labor has never been so busy
and the wheels of trade and commerce
are turning as never before. We are
going to elect the entire Republican
ticket this fall, and next year the ma
jority of the Republican candidate for
president will exceed the 1900 majori-
ty given Mckinley. The workingman
and the farmer are joining ranks be-
cause they believe the Republican party
is their friend. Had the Democratic
party been successful in forcing free
trade upon the country there would not
be the busy men that are now seen
at the pottery at Ford City. the plate
glass works at Ford City and the mills
at Kittanning, Apollo and Leechburg.
The farmer would be getting "Cleve-
land prices" for his sheep, cattle, hides
and other articles instead of the re-
munerative prices of today. If the so
cent dollar had come prosperity would
have fled You do not want to join
party that does not like to think of
its past You want to shun a party
whose leader will favor Bryan abroad
and deny his principles at home. You
do not want to join party that grows
weaker year after year and whose
ancient glory is fast departing.
"Come, take off your coat and go to
work for the whole party.
when your turn comes you can ask
the successful men of this year to take
off their coats and work for you"
