Especial Correspondence
Harrisburg, July II.
Republicans of Pennsylvania are 60
ing to stand pat.
They are going TO line up again with |
President Roosevelt and show him that
no has their full confidence and sup
port.
Within the last "a hours the chair
men of the Republican county commit
tees throughout Pennsylvania have re
ceived communications from Chair
man Wesley K. Andrews, OF the he
publican State committee, warning
them of the danger that lies In over
confidence and seeking TO impress
uDon them the importance OF perfect
ing the county organizations SO as 10
insure the polling of a large RepubH-
can vote In November next.
While it is not TO be expected that
Pennsylvania will, in this on year
be able to repeat the unprecedented
majority of 505,oO0 given Roosevelt at
the presidential election, Chairman
Andrews is eager that every effort
shall be made 10 get out q large per
centage of tho Republican vote 30 as
to keep the majority under the clrcum-
stances up TO the highest possible hg-
ures. That the chairmen and other
nF nj
throughout the commonwealth Intend
10 cooperate in this laudable work is
quito manifest from the reports that
are being received from every quarter
of tho state.
The Republican organization
throughout Pennsylvania is harmoni-
GUS and aggressive and there is dis
position shown on every hand to main
tain the prestige and the influence OF
the Pennsylvania organization in the
party In the nation.
Must Stand BY Roosevelt.
Pennsylvania is the bulwark Of ma
tional Republicanism and any falter-
ing on the part OF Pennsylvania Repub-
licans at the coming election which
would result In any material decrease
In the Republican majority would be
taken as indicating a lack OF interest
and lack of sympathy in the great
policies which the Republican national
administration is fathering and is en-
deavoring to carry out to a successful
conclusion.
President Roosevelt needs the full
support of Pennsylvania Republicans
now as much as he did when he was a
candidate before the people for the
presidency. He requires the moral
and substantial backing of the great
Republican state of Pennsylvania in
his magnificent undertakings. The
opponents of the national administra
tion at home and the Democracy
throughout the union would hail with
delight the news Of u great falling of
in the Republican majority In Penn
sylvania next fall and would herald
it as the turning Of the tide from Re
publicanism all over tho country.
Pennsylvania Republicans are too
patriotic and too loyal to their party to
allow anything of the kind to happen
in November.
They are also too practical from a
business standpoint To permit that TO
occur. No state in the union has as
much at stake as Pennsylvania in the
continued success OF Republicanism
Her vast industrial and manufactur-
Ing interests which have thriven un-
a Ia g gsg
and which give employment To 80
many hundreds OF thousands of her
people and which have added so much
10 the wealth and happiness Of her
citizens and those of other states. have
been nurtured and developed under
Republican administrations Their
continued prosperity depends largely
upon the ascendency of the Republican
party in the state and the nation
The large maiorities for Republican
candidates in this state which have
been greatly due To the activity OF the
members Of the Republican committees
In the several counties must be again
recorded at the coming election.
Look Ahead to Congress.
This is essential that the Democracy
shall not be embOldencd TO seek to
make a desperate battle at next years

yania today, with her 81 Republican
members, has the largest Republican
delegation OF any state in the uniOn
