"a call 10 arms" 10 every active he-
nublican OF the commonwealth in an
urgent request 10 begin active work

CHAIRMRN'S CALL TO ACTION.
Following ia q copy OF the address
which is being mailed TO the county
committeeman by Chairman Penrose:
Your name has been sent me by
your county chairman as having been
aelected by the Republican voters Of
your election district TO represent
them on the county committee, and
after congratulating you upon the
honor conferred TO represent such an
intelligent body OF voters beg to i'm
press upon you that the contest this
year is the opening skirmish Of the
great battle to be fought next year,
when q president and vice president are
10 be chosen, also representatives In
congress and members OF the general
assembly.
1T Ia therefore desirable, on account
of the effect II will have upon next
years contest. that every Republican
voter have impressed upon him the
Importance OF the present contest and
the necessity for him to take an active
part in the campaign and that that
activity be not allowed TO cease until
the Last Republican vote in his dis
trict has been polled on election day.
This course is suggested particu-
Iarly. as a large and emphatic majority
will be considered throughout the ma
tion AS the Endorsement Of Pennsylva-
MIA OF the splendid administration Of
President Roosevelt and the desire
AAt the same be continued.
PENNSYLVANIA IS POTENTIAL.
Asa matter Of fact the utteranCcs Of
ths Republicans Of Pennsylvania as
rejected through the ballotbOX, have
great weight in the declarations con
sutn tn rN1a aHlntGH az
publican national conventions.
Therefore an overwhelming major
ity In Pennsylvania this year will be
considered as Pennsylvania voice IN
behalf OF the continuance Of the pres
snt era Of prosperity and an emphatic
protest against any and all attempts at
tariff tInkering-in other words, such q
verdict will be accepted TO mean that
Pennsylvania Is in favor OF leaving
we'll enough alone policy which if
pursued, will prevent business disturb
ances and the consequent Inaugural
Non OF the period OF depression which
Usually prevails during presidential
years
Il assume that you can readily un-
derstand the occasion for the activity
suggested herein and that can rely
upon you for prompt. energetic and
HAinstRking work
Il further suggest that you keep IN
touch with your county chairman, IN
forming him regarding the situation in
your district and be guided by his in
suuetions
Il will add for your further informa-
uon that reports from all parts Of the
state point TO a great victory in No
Vember neIt for the party OF pOsper-
ity, and you can rely upon II that such
will be the result II the Republicans Of
the state display their usual activity.
"BOIES PENROSE, Chairman"
SIGNS THAT POINT TO VICTORY.

tisn have called 10 show their interest
In tho cam Align and to volunteer their
Assistance
The fact that In many Of the cOun-
ties tho matter OF congressional and
legislative nominations is now being
discussed brings up prominently the
fact that next year will be a very i'm
portRnt one in state and national pol
itica and that the outcome Of next
months election must necessarily have
q bearing upon the outlook for Rcpub-
ncAn success next year.
