Ing Little Show of Fighting.
PENNSYLVANIA editors continue their
effective work in the campain for
Roosevelt and Fairbanks, and they are
not leaving the Democrats any ground
to stand upon in the contest in which
the minority party is so heavily han
dicapped. There has been a constant
and scathing fire from the Republican
batteries, and in many cases the Demo-
erats have not even dared to respond.
Here are a few of the latest shots at
the opposition:
Vote For Republican Congressman.
Suppose that the present Republican
house of representatives should give
place to a Democratic majority and
John Sharp Williams should become
speaker of the house, who would most
likely displace Mr.. Serene f. Payne
as chairman of the ways and means
committee? Possibly Bourke Cochran.
Possibly Champ Clark Possibly and
probably some southern Democrat
who has always been and always will
be free trader in spite of Mr.. Clark's
declaration that the Democratic party
never was and never will be a free
trade party.
To prevent any such a possibility

A Party Without Sense.
The Democratic party, as a party,
has no sense It never had. For eight
years 1t has put in it's time predicting
things any sane man knows could
never come to pass. The Democratic
campaign keynote has become a yawp
instead Of a promise. 1t is facing a
prosperous country once more with
all of It's predictions discredited and
not a single principle on which to ap-
peal for votes. The reason the voters
are not interested in this campaign is
because the Democrats have nothing
of interest to offer.-Northeas erie

is their appeal to the business inter.
