publican ticket.
Visitors here during the last few
days from the sections visited by Ed
win S. Stuart and his colleagues on
the Republican ticket in their tour of
the state report that Mr.. Stuart has
been making a very favorable impros.
sion with the voters. He is standing
squarely UPON the party platform, and
his words and manner clearly show
that he is honest in his pledges to
give the people a popular administra.
ton. to insist that the corporations
shall obey the law, and that they shall
not encroach upon the rights of indi.
viduals or discriminate against any
one. and that they shall be obliged to
give fair return to the state and
the people for the franchises which
they enjoy
Mr.. Stuart points to his record made
as mayor OF Philadelphia in the treat
ment of corporations. where he broke
all records by insisting that the street
railways should give the city value
for the privileges which they enjoy.
His stand by the taxpayers in that one
fight alone meant the payment of mil.
lions by the street railways for the
paving of streets, which they would
have kept in their treasures or dis.
tributed among their stockholders.
Mr.. Stuart is committed to the en-.
.ctment of legislation making two
cents a mile a maximum rate of fare
on railroads, and for the creation of
commission which shall have super.
vision over the railroads of the state.
For Square Deal.
In a recent speech Mr.. Stuart said:
Much has been said upon the ques.
tion of corporations, and l desire to
say that | have not gone through the
state tearing down, upsetting and de-
stroying corporations, because my
principle and my ideas are that they
should be regulated according to law.
Common carriers, railroad companies,
all who may receive special privilege.
must be compelled to exercise those
privileges fairly and squarely upon
square deal to every man in every
be one rate for one man and another
rate for somebody else, but they must
all be treated as equal. AS to the
Republican platform, | stand absolute.
ly and unreservedly upon it and will
do everything in my power, and !
know that in saying that | also speak
for my colleagues, to bring about such

correct them solely for the benefit
and in the best interests of the people
of this state (Appause)

you will pardon the personal allusion
some experience in treating with
legislation wanted by corporations
That record has been made, and it is
a part of the history of my native
city. and can be inquired into by any
man or set of men who desire to do
so, and you will find that in my pub
lie record in dealing with corpora
tions my first and only desire and my
ultimate purpose has always been to
see that the interests of the people
represented, and whom | was elect
ed to represent, were properly. legally
and honestly taken care of and pro-
tected. Without attempting to de
stroy or to tear down, | have prom
ised that if elected governor of Penn
sylvania the interests of the people
will be safeguarded and taken care OF
in every legal and proper way that
lies in my power"
