yention of the State League of Repub"
lican Clubs, which is to be held in

YOUNG REPUBLICANS TO SPEAK
The State League includes in its
membership many aggressive young
Republicans who are expected to ex-
press themselves clearly and vigor-
pusly on the issues which should be
paramount in the present campaign.
There is no question of the sentiment
among the clubmen in favor OF Presl-
dent Roosevelt to succeed himself in
the White House, and it can be safely
predicted that the league convention
will be heard from in no uncertain
tones, in line with the action OF the
tast two regular Republican state con-
ventions of Pennsylvania, calling for
the nomination of Roosevelt for presl-
dent by the Republican national COL
vention.
The platform builders and the ora
tors will voice the wishes Of great
majority OF the people of this country,
who demand that there shall be no
cessation of the prosperity which this
nation now enjoys. and who contend
that a continuance of present highly
satisfactory business conditions is de-
pendent upon Republican control of
the affairs of the federal government
and the enforcement of Republican
policies which have resulted In the de-
velopment and growth of the indus
tries of the United States.
Capital and labor each finds profit
aole employment, and there Is no man
in Pennsylvania today, 1t is main
tanned, who cares to work, who cannot
find something to do with satisfactory
remuneration for his services. In some
sections of the state there Is difficulty
In procuring enough labor to meet
requirements of vast manufacturing
establishments.
In commenting upon the political
situation in Pennsylvania and the
probable issues of the state campaign
a few days ago. Secretary Wesley r.
Andrews, of the Republican state COM
mittee, remarked that while the Re-
publicans were content to advocate
the proposition Ito let well enough
alone" and to help bring about a con-
tinuance of conditions which have
brought contentment, happiness and
prosperity to the people, the Demo
Gratis have been hunting around for
an issue upon which to make their
state campaign, and they have failed
to find one.
THE people are too prosperous"
remarked Secretary Andrews, ito 60

REPUBLICANISM MUST PREVAIL.
II Is pointed out that Democratic
success in Pennsylvania this fall, or
even reduced Republican majorities,
would be a source of great encourage
ment to those who seek changes in
the tariff laws. While Republicans ad-
nit that there are some inequalities
in the present tariff. as there must be
in every law of this character. they
