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 we'll 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 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 Republi-
can 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 in the
interest of the anti-Republican candi-
dates prompted the correspondence
,,,ht tnh 60 laNt ha
president to one Of his personal friends
in the Union League
RooseVelt's Interest In Pennsylvania.
Not only does President Roosevelt
make 1t 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 ,presl-
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-
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 men,
bers of the national house of represen-
tatives 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
Nf hn
Republican policies. He also knows
that the present contest in Pennsylva-
MIA will have a far-reaching effect upon
the great struggle for the election OF
congressman next year.
Lines Must Not Be Broken.
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 1t 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 SUI
premacy," continued Chairman An
drews will not allow factional bicker-
ings or the work of few aspiring and
| reckless individuals to imperil the elec-
! tion by 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 so deeply concerned"
Gordon-Weaver Combine.
In the Machiavellian game that Is
being played in this city to further the
| insurgent 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 re
form" agitation was the attempt to
have 1t appear that Presiden Roosevelt
sought a conference with Mayor Wea-
yer on his return visit to Wilkes-Barre
It Is known that this much adver-
tised conference" had no political sig
niflcance. The fact is, there was no
conference" between the president and
the mayor of Philadelphia upon any
subject. Mayor Weaver met the presi-
| dent as thousands of other citizens
greeted him during his visit to the coal
regions. There was not a second dur
ing their meeting at which there were
not several other persons present and
in hearing distance.
1t is now declared that Mayor Wea-
vers visit to the coal regions was de-
| liberately planned for political pur-
poses by the Gordon outfit, and that
the speech which he delivered to the
delegates to the convention of the Cath
Olic Total Abstinence Beneficial Union
was carefully prepared with view to
advancing the interests of the men back
of the independent campaign in this
city and state.
1t has been boldly charged and not
denied that Gordon wrote the speech
