Especial Correspondence
Philadelphia, Sept. II.
Every vote cast for the Republican
ticket in Pennsylvania at the approach
ing election will not only be vote OF
endorsement of Republican principles
but a vote of confidence in Roosevelt
as well as an additional guarantee to
the national administration that the
great Republican organization of the
keystone State stands firmly and 10y
ally by the president
The scandalous conduct of the new
democratic combine in Penn
sylvania make it essential that the
honest Republicans of the state shall
assert themselves at the next election.
A member of the Union League has
received from President Roosevelt
personal letter which absolutely dis
rGses of the rumors circulated by as
Sistant Democrats in this city and state
TO the effect that one or more members
of the presidents cabinet will figure
in opposition to the regular Repabli-
tan cause.
While such reports would ordinarily
be regarded as too ridiculous to neces-
state denial, the repeated announce
ments from insurgent and Democratic
newspapers that Secretary Bonaparte
will make a speech or write letter to
be used in the present campaign ia the
interest of the anti-Republican candi-
dates prompted the correspondence
which brought forth the letter from the
president to one of his personal friends
in the Union League
RooseVeIt's Interest In Pennsylvania.
Not only does President Roosevelt
make it clear that Secretary Bonaparte
will not figure in the Pennsylvania
campaign, bat Republicans who have
been curious about the foundation for
other stories indicating that the preSi-
dents sympathies are not fully with
the regular Republican organization IN
Pennsylvania are given no excuse to
be longer in doubt as to the attitude of
the federal administration on the ques-
tion OF loyalty to the Republican party
in the keystone State.
President Roosevelt fully realizes
that the two Republican United States
senators and the 81 Republican MEM
bers of the national house of represeH-
tatives from Pennsylvania have been
heartily in accord with his admnistra-
ton, and they intend to stand by him
in his future efforts for the develop
ment of the country's resources under
Republican policies. He also knows
that the present contest in Pennsylva-
MIA will have farreaching effect upon
the great struggle for the election of
congressman next year.
Lines Must Not BE Broker.
Should the Republican lines be
broken in Pennsylvania this fall dis
astrous results would surely follow in
the congressional election next year"
declared Chairman Andrews, of the Re-
publican state committee There are
several close congressional districts in
this state, and it may require the most
strenuous work In the approaching con-
gressional campaign to hold Pennsyl-
vania's record of having the largest
Republican delegation of any state in
the union on the floor of the national
house Of representatives.
THE great manufacturing and indus
trial interests of Pennsylvania which
are so dependant upon Republican su-
premacy," continued Chairman An
drews will not allow factonal bicker-
ings or the work of a few aspiring and
reckless individuals to- imperl the cleo
tion by large majority of every one of
the candidates on the Republican state
ticket next November
"lnsurgent and party wrecking or
CARNATIONS formed to advance the per-
sonal interests of clique of wealthy
and ambitious men cannot get a foot
hold in Republican Pennsylvania this
fall to endanger Republican success in
the great struggle Of next year when
the vital interests of the commonwealth
will be so deeply concerned"
Gordon-Weaver Combine.
In the Machiavellian game that is
being played in this city to further the
insureent movement, former Judge
Gordon's fine hand has been disclosed
from time to time.
In line with the circulation of re-
ports that Secretary Bonaparte and
possibly other cabinet officers would be
heard from during the course of the
campaign in favor Of the so-called IRE
form agitation was the attempt to
have 1t apTear that Presiden Roosevelt
sought a conference with Mayor Wea-
Yer on his return visit to Wilkes Barre.
1t is known that this much adver-
tised conference had no political sig
n.hcance. The fact Is. there was no
conference between the president and
the mayor of PHILADELPHIA upon anv
