YOUNG REPUBLICANS TO SPEAK
The State League includes in It's

There 10 no question Of the sentiment
among the clubmen in favor OF Presl-
dent Roosevelt to succeed himself IN
the White House, and IL can oe safely
predicted that the league convention
will be heard from in no uncertain
tones. In line with the action OF the
last two regular Republican state con

policies which have resulted In the de-
velopmonl and growth Of the indus

REPUDLICANIsM MUST PREVAIL
Il is pointed cut that Democratic
success In Pennsylvania this fall, or
even reduced Republican mRjorities,
would be a source Of great encourage
uent 70 those who seek changes In
ths tAritf laws While Republicans ad-
NIT that there are some inequalities
In che present tariff. as there must be
In every law OF this character, they
ag~ unAitorably committed against at
tempt at tariff tinkerinB which must
necessarily result In a disarrangement
Of business conditions and a termina-
zion Of the present era OF prosperity.
Under the present act the terrible
conditions of poverty and distress eX-
listing under the last Democratic cd
ninistrstion have been changed as
by the mRgiciRn's wand" and tha
country Is now in the enjoyment of
unparalleled prosperity. with capital
and labor both TemuneratiVely en-
ployed, our home market largely In
creased and the country assured of a
fair share Of tho markets of the
world with promise Of still further
Development in that direction.
