Especial Correspondence
Philadelphia, Sept. IL.
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
an 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
insurgent- Democratic combine In Penn
sylvania make II 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 a
personal letter which absolutely dis
poses OF tho rumors circulated by as
sistant Democrats in this citysand state
TO the effect that one or more members
OF the presidents cabinet will figure
In opposition TO the regular Republi-
sRn cause.
While such reports would ordinarily
bs regarded as too ridiculous to neces-
RttAte denial, the repeated announce
menta from insurgent and Democratic
newspapers that Secretary Bonaparte
will make a speech or write a letter to
bs used In the present campaign In 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.
Roossvelt's interest In Pennsylvania.
Not only does President Roosevelt
make Il clear that Secretary Bonaparte
will not figure in the Pennsylvania
campaign. but 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
b longer In doubt as to the attitude OF
the federal administration on the Ques-
ton 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 reprssen-
tAtivss from Pennsylvania have been
heartily In accord with his administra-
ton. and they intend TO stand by him
In his future efforts for the develop
meat OF the country's resources under
Republican policies He also knows
that the present contest in Pennsylva-
MIA will have far-reaching effect upon
the great struggle for the election Of
congressman next year.
Llnea Must Not Be Broken.
Should the Republican lines be
broken in Pennsylvania this fall dis
astrous results would surely follow In
the congregational election next year"
declared Chairman Andrews, OF the Re-
publican state committee. There are
several close congressional districts in
this state. and II may require the most
strenuous work In the approaching con-
Ersssional 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 30 dependant upon Republican su
premacy." continued Chairman An
dFews will not allow factional bicker-
ingH or the work OF few aspiring and
reckless individuals to imperil the cleo
tion by a large majority of every one of
the candidates on the Republican state
ticket next November.
'Insurgent and party wrecking or
ganiZAtionS formed TO advance the per-
sonal interests OF clique Of wealthy
and ambitious men cannot get 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 80 deeply concerned"

from time TO time
In line with the circulation Of re-
ports that Secretary Bonaparte and
possibly other ca binet officers would be
heard from during the course of the
campaign In favor Of the so-called re
form" agitation was the attempt TO
have II appear that Prssiden Roosevelt
sought q conference with Mayor Wea-
