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 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
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 adminlstra.
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.
Pennsylvsnia 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-
der the policy of protective tariff
and which give employment to so
AAg Of
people, and which have added 30 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 ascendency of the Republican
party in the state and the nation.
The large majorities 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 emboldened to seek to
make desperate battle at next year S
| highly important elections Pennsyl.
vania today, with her 81 Republican
members, has the largest Republican
delegation OF any state in the union
on the floor of the National House of
Representatives This delegation has
beea a powerful factor in obtaining
much needed recognition of Pennsyl.

Appropriations of great sums OF
money have been secured for the deep
ening of the Delaware channel. which
means the ultimate completion of q
harbor which will bring many millions
annually to the port of Philadelphia
and which will directly and indirectly
benefit almost every county in the
state.

Ohio and Allegheny rivers are now un

were made by congress as the result
of the united efforts of the entire Penn
