ness trip, and hope to be home TO vote the Re-
Rublican ticket, for the Republican ticket repre-
sents the principles that Roosevelt has fought
through so far. Voters he needs your support,
by voting the Republican ticket from head to
foot. The main issue next November is Roose-
velt In letter to the PRESS two years ago, the
other side called Roos the rough rider. In
reply said how quick he would leap into his
saddle and with his ready blade defend the homes
of the American people. Has he not done so?
Yes, for in your homes prosperity dwes. Voters,
ifthere is a candidate on the Republican ticket
that you have had trouble with in your business
transactions settled with hin in business man
ner do not try to get back at him through the
ballot box, for that will not keep -four in the
b arrel, sugar in the box, for you are not vot-
ing for the candidate but for your home, self and
prosperity. Last Nov, on account of the Enter
prise Bank, of Pittsburg. Pa, the cry was that
the bauk robbed by the cashier or politicians,
and that we had laws but we should elect
men who will pass laws to punish that class of
people For the benefit of the voter will quote
some of the laws, that we have Bank robbery,
not exceeding $4,000, Imprisonment by solitary
continent at labor not exceeding 20 years; enlbez-
elment by trustees, by bankers, by officers of
corporations falcifying accounts or books, or

prisonment by solitary continent at labor not
exceeding six years. embezelment by bank Off
GERS, punishment, Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary at hard labor not less than one or more than
ten years Now you can why the other side
caught us mapping and made us believe that our
treasury in danger, and elected B erry to
take charge of it. How quick found out our
Treasury was safe. We have use for Berry's
November next, still we hear the old cry
from the other side that the Republican ma
chine must be stopped and fixed What is wrong
with it2 There is nothing wrong, she has not
one fiat wheel and if you will listen at the cross
ings you will hear her hum as she goes onward
delivering her load of prosperity in your homes
and schools, and we are going to vote to let her
run and hustle to keep up to her Voters 1 am
one of the common people and am writing in
the language of the common people. My foot
steps have been with you in the rough paths of
life. l have been with you in your companion
ship, in Joy and sorrow, I have known some in
their sorrow to turn their backs. instead of pro-
tecting their rights walk from homes in silent
sadness. Voter wish to ask you what is wrong
with the Republican machine, as it is called, il is
called when there are jobs galore for more labors
than can be found, at big wages. to do the work.
Put the other machine on the road and you will
run back where you were few years ago, hunt
ing jobs at low wages.
While in Pittsburg few days ago, I learned
that during the past nine months there was ex-
pended in the erection of residences alone over
fourteen million of dollars at least five millions
this sum goinfi into the pockets of the labor
When you vote next Tuesday vote to continue
this prosperity and simply place antX after the
word Republican in the first column on the
ticket. Ifyou love your family and desire to
enjoy these prosperous times vote to sus-
tain Roosevelt by placing your X in the first box
at the left of the ballot
Yours Respectfully,

Falls Creek, Pa, Oct. goth; 1906
Nick Russell, whose comedy COM
pany will appear at the Emporium
Opera House, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday evening, Nov. 1st, 2nd and
3rd, had all kinds of trouble in getting
his company together. 1t was not that
actors were scarce-the Rialto has been
full of them for weeks past-but the
difficulty was to get players capable of
filling the roles in the plays selected by
Mr.. Russell for his tour this season.
Such plays as Peaceful Valley" "Wife
in name only" and "The Poor Mr.
Rich" are not the kind that ordinary
repertoire actors can play and each
play is so different that it takes re-
markably clever players to "make
good" 1t is told on good authority
that since rehearsals of the pieces
started month ago, that Mr.. Russell
has tried out over thirty actors and
found them wanting. Finally, how
ever, he got together a company of six
teen people who were fully capable in
every way and the result is one of the
strongest organizations playing at pop
ular prices that ever toured the coun-
try Mr.. Russell has provided mag
niticent scenic equipment for each of
the plays in his repertoire.
All meu who desire Z t ng,' in govern
ment can con,cicntiou,Iy vote for Capt.
Barclay for congress. next Tuesday.
