Republican organization OF Pennsyl
vania.
FLINN DISAPPOINTS UNIONISTS
The Wanamaker adherents, wk,
comprise the active spirits in the Us-
ion party, have been banking upoa
the support of Senator William Flira
IN the opposition to the Republican
state ticket.
Senator Finn spoke from the same
platform with Governor Stone at Nc.
Keesport last Saturday night and
urged his followers to support the full
Republican ticket.
Among other things, Senator Finn
said:
| have given the best years Of
my life in an effort to make the
Republican party strong in Pitts
burg and in the county of Allie
gheny, and while it is we'll
known fact that have been anx-
ious to be relieved, and have been
relieved, of the onerous position
OF chairman of the Republican
city executive committee of Pitts
burg, and while my business in
terests have grown to such mag
nitude that | cannot in the future
give politics the same amount of
time | have given it in the past,
yet | am anxious and earnest in
my efforts to have the Republican
organization or Allegheny county,
as we'll as the Republican organi-
zation of the city of McKeesport
and the Republican organization
of the city of Pittsburg, under its
new chairman as energetic and
successful in the future as it ever !
has been in the past. | therefore
earnestly entreat every friend ]
may have in the city of McKee&
port to vote the Republican ticket
and by his work and labor, help
and assistance, poll such a Re-
publican majority as will speak in
no uncertain terms of the position
of McKeesport upon the question
at issue this fall.
While they did not capture Finn,
the program of the insurgents for the
remaining days of the canvass in
cludes a scheme to have sympathiz-
ers announce their purpose to cut the
Republican ticket and then hail each
one of these as gain to their cause.
The facts are that all of their sup
posed converts are really Union men,
but they hope to create stampede, as
one of their leaders confidentially
stated, through this last hour game.
The Wanamaker control of numt
Der of newspapers will enable the
Union men to play all sorts of sharp
practices through Philadelphia news
papers in the closing days of the can
vass, but the people have come to
recognize the worth of these insur-
gent sheets, and they believe very
little they see in them on matters of
state or local politics.
The Republican ticket in Philadel-
phia will be elected by about $4,000
majority.
VOTERS WILL DO THEIR DUTY.
This state more than any other state
in the Union, has been the beneficiary
of the Republican policies so ably ad
vCcated by the martyred President. 1t
is unnecessary to refer to the smoke
and flames belching forth from her
many furnaces, that We're idle and be-
coming junk, under the policies of the
opposition.
The eyes of the world are upon the
voters in Pennsylvania.
Are they going to re-endorse the ma
tional policies, and thus speak for the
further up-building of the industries
of this great state, by an old time ma
jority for the state ticket, or are they
through dissensions and petty quarrels,
going to become assistant Democrats
and place Pennsylvania in the doubtful
column in the congressional elections
next year?
Business demands confidence and sta
bility in the national policies. The
slightest retrograde movement means
loss of confidence. Every voter has an
opportunity on November 5, next, to
speak to his congressman; to speak
to congress itself; to strengthen back
bones that may be weakening, and to
declare to the world that Pennsylvania
stands by the policies of the martyred
President; upholds the hands of the
brave statesman Roosevelt, and de-
mands of congress prompt action along
lines of legislation that will extend
our trade, build more factories, set
every wheel in motion and give to
every laboring man employment at
good pay.
A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
On November 5, next, in many states
in the Union the citizens will be given
their first opportunity to re-endorse
the policies of our late President, who
laid down his life in the service of his
country.
They will also have their first oppor-
tunity to say to the world in unmis-
taxable tones by their votes that they
have Joined hands with President
Roosevelt to carry, out the Mckinley
policies and that there will be no retro
grade movement, no side issues con-
sidered until every policy that will
