power, are LOOKING ahead in the vain
hope that there will some mishap oc-
cur to handicap the Republican organ
ization for the coming national cam
paign.
Pennsylvania Republicans must be
alert and active and see to it that
there shall be no mishap take place at
the election two weeks hence in the
old Keystone State. There must be
no falling OFF of the Republican vote,
AMI no reduction of the Republican
majority to which the Democracy can
point as indicating popular sentiment
in antagonism to the party of protec-
ton and prosperity. There should, on
the other hand, be an increase in the
the Republican majority, so that on
tho day after election every Repub-
lican throughout the country can
point with pride to the returns from
the keystone State and say our party
Is stronger than ever in the bulwark
of Republicanism. The people are
with us and there will be no deviation
from the policies which have made
this country great, powerful, and
prosperous.
Notwithstanding the Democratic
press would have it appear that the
treasury is looted" the millions of
dollars in the treasury stand as a
stone wall defense on the side of the
Republican party in Pennsylvania.
