ELKIN'S PREDICTION.
Attorney General John p. Elkin, who
has been travelling all over the state
during the last few weeks, is absolute
ly confident that the regular Republi-
cans will control and organize both
branches of the legislature and that a
stalwart Republican will be elected
to the United States senate.
In commenting upon the situation In
the state Mr.. Elkin said:
1T IS apparent that the Republicans
Of Pennsylvania have become wearied
and have grown tired of tho internal
dissensions in our party during the
past few years. Our people are be-
coming aware OF the fact that an i'm
perial commonwealth like ours should
have its full representation In the Uni
ted States senate. With 100000 of
the most intelligent people on the face
OF the earth II would seem a. though
our state should be represented BY two
United States senator's. The reason
that we are not 30 represented 10 that
a minority OF the Republican party.
acting in conjunction with the Demo-
Gratis, prevented an election at the last
session of the legislature. II Is my be
lief that this can never occur again.
The Republican party of Pennsylvania
will not countenance such tactics.
Every day the principle OF majority
rule is asserting itself. Every hour
Republicans are beginning to realizo
that q political organization can only
be maintained and upheld when party
regularity is respected.
PEOPLE ARE AROUSED.
Thousands Of Republicans not In
sympathy perhaps with the regular or
ganization of the party in the state,
and not always willing to follow tho
leaders of our party. have concluded
that a majority OF the Republicans
have right to decide all disputed
questions about which Republicans dis
agree. Upon this principle we make
our nominations. Upon this principle
we nominate our candidates for the
highest office within the gift Of tho
people. For more than quarter of a
century United States senators have
been placed in nomination by the ma
jority vote Of the Republicans elected
to the senate and house of representa-
tives.
These traditions are rapidly assert
ing themselves. and the people arc
rising in their might and saying to the
factional disturbers and party wreck
ers. Thus far shalt thou go and no
farther.
with somewhat minute knowledge
Of the political conditions as they ex-
list in each OF the CT counties OF our
commonwealth. DO not hesitate to
state before this magnificent gathering
of Republicans that the next legisla-
ture in both branches will be organ
lied and controlled by regular Repub-
licans who favor party regularity and
majority rule.
"AND THEY WILL ELECT A
STALWART UNITED STATES SEN
ATOR.
"The fusion movement has no
strength with our people today. II Is
doubtful whether a single senator or
representative would be elected by rea-
son Of the fusion movement IN cur
