Harrisburg, July H.
Republicans of Pennsylvania are go
ing to "stand pat.
They are going to line up again with
President Roosevelt and show him that
he has their full confidence and SUI
port.
Within the last "a hours the chair
men OF the Republican county commit
tees throughout Pennsylvania have re-
ceived communications from Chalr-
man Wesley r. Andrews, OF the Re-
publican State committee, warning
them of the danger that lies IN over
confidence and seeking to impress
upon them the Importance OF perfect
ing the county organizations so as to
insure the polling of large Republ-
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 505,000 given Roosevelt at
the presidential election, Chairman
Andrews is eager that every enort
shall be made to get out large per-
centage of the Republican vote so as
to keep the majority under the circum-
stances up to the highest possible fig
ures That the chairmen and other
members of county committees
throughout the commonwealth intend
to cooperate in this laudable work is
quite manifest from the reports that
are being received from every quarter
of the 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-
licaus 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
row as much as he did when he was a
candidate before the people for the
presidency. He requires the moral
nd l-,bctontial ha of m
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 great falling off
in the Republican majority in Penn
sylvania next fall and would herald
ii as the turning of the tide from Re
publicanism all over the 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 thrlven un.
der the policy of IA protective tariff
and which give employment To so
many hundreds of thousands of her
people. and which have added SO much
to 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 aseendeney of the Republican
party In the state and the nation.
The large maiorities Tor Republican
candidates in this state which have
been greatly due Ia the activity of the
members Of the Republican committees
in the several counties must be again
recorded al the coming election.
Look Ahead to Congress.
