A fitting compliment was paid to the
RepubIiean organization Of Pennsylva-
MIA last week by Chairman Cortelyou.
OF the Republican national committee.
IL was upon the occasion Of Senator
Penrose's visit to the national commit
tee headquarters in New York, when
the subject of state organizations was
under consideration.
"Pennsylyauia Republicans have the
finest. most compact and most loyal
Republican organization in the coun-
try" said Chairman COrtelyou, "and
fervently wish that other states would
COPY the methods and manifest the en-
thusiasm and the ardor which is being
shown by the Republicans of the Key
stone state in the present campaign.
Senator PenrOse visited the national
chairman upon a special invitation
from Mr Cortelyou, who desired to
talk over number of matters Of i'm
pOrtance i'm connection with the presi-
dental campaign Their interview was
a most cordial and satisfactory one.
and Chairman Cortelyou was assured
that be could always count upon Penn
sylvania for men and money, as occa-
sion demanded.
As chairman Of the Republican state
committee. Senator Penrose has organ
lied corps of spellbinders, whose ser
vices have been placed at the call of
Chairman CortolyOu for duty in the
doubtful states, and he has already
done considerable effective work l. aid
ing the members Of the advisory COM
mittees named by the national chair
man to collect campaign subscriptions
for the presidential contest Pennsyl-
vania is second only to New York in
the amount Of money contributed to
Republican campaigns. and with the
cooperation of State Chairman Pen
rose the representatives of the national
committee who are soliciting contribu-
tions in this state will, 1t Is believed,
be able 70 make gratifying reports.
Information received at the state
headquarters daily indicates a general
disposition among Republicans to help
make good Senator Penrose's pTedic-
ton that Pennsylvania will even sur
pass the record breaking majority OF
301 900 for Mckinley by giving Roose-
welt at least 325000 majority. 1t was
this statement to Chairman Cortelyou
that brought forth his very compliment
tary reference to the Republican organ
izatiou Of Pennsylvania.
No one not thoroughly familiar with
conditions i'm this state can appreciate
the ramidcati0ns and the sturdy char
acter of the Republican organization
of Pennsylvania. AS it stands today It
has stood for so years, ever loyal TO the
principles of Republicanism and ever
steadfast to the Republican nominees.
This organization was not built in a
day. II is the result Of the careful,
watchful interest Of men Of intelligence
and activity, men who have labored
hard to cement the various interests in
the several counties and who have
welded together into a compact body
! the brains and the brawn of stalwart
RanrbIiraDism of averv section Of the
commonwealth.
