Especial Correspondence
Philadelphia Sept 2s.-During the
last "a hours Senator Penrose, as
chairman of the Republican state COM
mittee, has been getting In touch with
the situation In the state and he is
very much gratifed with what he has
learned regarding the condition OF the
party organization and popular senti-
ment In the several counties. The
senator returned on Sunday from
hunting trip in British Columbia and
was naturally interesteS in political
developments during his absence.
The state chairman found on his
desk reports from every Republican
county chairman in the state that had
been made in accordance with re-
quest sent out some time ago by Sec
retary w. r. Andrews for prelin-
mary canvass, and in every instance
he had occasion to be pleased with
what he read.
ut is indeed gratifying said Chair
man Penrose, "to find the men identi-
fed with the party organization
throughout the state manifesting so
keen an interest in the approaching
election. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the Republican county COM
mitteemen and the party voters gen.
orally recognize the importance of our
getting out a full vote in November,
and that they are determined to let
20 lich a
suit"
ALL FOR ROOSEVELT.
Senator Penrose was particularly
pleased with the reports regarding the
convention of the State League of Re-
publican Clubs held at Wilkesbarre,
which marked practically the opening
of the state campaign, and regretted
that unforeseen circumstances had
prevented him from being present. The
large attendance and the enthusiasm
witnessed at this convention must be
taken as additional evidence of the
ardor with which the young Republi-
cans of Pennsylvania are entering in
to the spirit of the campaign with
view to preparing for the presidential
election of next year.
They are all for Roosevelt, and they
want it known that they are going to
see to it that he receives the nomina-
ton to succeed himself in the White
House. They stand solidly with the
Pennsylvania Republican organization
on this issue.
After reaffirming their fealty and de-
votion to the principles of Republican
ism. as set forth in the state and ma
tional platforms of the party and in
dorsing the state candidates, the club
men declared:
I'VE give our most cordial indorse.
nlent to the splendid administration
Of President Theodore Roosevelt who
so fully exemplifies and reflects our
ideal Of American citizenship in both
private and public life, and we COM
mend his courageous, sound and pa
triotic administration. We congratu-
late him on the success he has already
attained both at home and in his for
eien policy, and pledge him our earn
est support in his future labors in be-
half of our great country.
I'VE also congratulate the people of
Pennsylvania upon the safe and con
servative administration of our state
affairs, Governor Pennypacker having
already proved himself wise, prudent
firm and conscientious executive.
Believing in organization, we pledge
ourselves to the service of our party
and our country in the battle of 1904
for the maintenance of protection to
American labor, sound financial pol
icy and the development of American
influence for commerce and civiliza
ton"
MASSES ARE AROUSED
That is where the Young Republi-
cans of Pennsylvania stand in this
contest.
