MY DEAR MULLIN:-
AS you know that supported Berry
last year, because ] believed it was my
duty as Republican to do so, l now
write you-caring always for your
good opinion-as to why | shall
oppose Emery and support Stuart, for
Governor, with all the Influence | pos
sess.
You know l was among the first
to suggest the name of Hon. John
Stewart, for Governor. | regarded him
as an ideal candidate for the Republi-
can Party of Pennsylvania, Indsr the
new era of civic and moral virtue, and
political reform upon which it has so
auspiciously entered under the leader
ship of the conscientious, and most
successful of all political Reformers-
Theodore Roosevelt-and it gives me,
an anti-Penrose Republican, pleasure
to state that Senator Penrose earnest
ly desired the nomination of Judge
Stewart, wholly and absolutely without
any conditions, expressed or implied
the only way in which Judge Stewart
would have accepted it.
But a campaign of duplicity and
treachery on the part of the self-styled
''Lincoln Republicans" so infamous
in its character that it ought to make
the memory of Ananias, Judas Iscariot
and Benedict Arnold quite respectable,
by contrast, compelled Judge Stewart
to refuse even to be considered as
candidate.
The whole "Lincoln Republican, out
fit-smbracing probably two hundred
scheming, unscrupulous officer seekers
ia the State-from the highest and
wealthIest millionaire pipeline layer
for public office, to the meanest and
trickiest bohemian among them, knew
that if Judge Stewart should be nomi-
mated by the Republican party for Gov
ernor, Lewis Emery, Jr., would i'm
mediately take himself out of the con-
test, and that their inviting and neces-
sitous barrel of graft would be hooped
up hard and fast and in consequence,
they would have to return to honest
work to elrn q living, and so they
planned aud conspired, day and night,
how to make the matter so odious to
Judge Stewart as to compel his with.
drawal.
Their game ofinfamy succeeded when
they secured a candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor, and Auditor General
from Chambersburg--th the home of Judge
Stewart-and because of that "Lincoln
republican" infamy every honest man
of whatever political faith, in Pensyl-
vania, ought to rise in righteous wrath
against Lewis Emery, Jr., the benef
ciary of that POLITICAL and moral
leprosy.
shall oppose with all my heart and
soul the election of Lewis Emery, Jr.
because while condemning with un.
bridled tongue and venomous pen the
Republican party of Roosevelt, and
claiming for himself all the virtues
of the immortal Lincoln, Mr.. Emery
was, and still is, engaged with Israe
w. Durham, and others like him, ir
a business enterprise of semi politica
character.
am opposed to the election of MIR
Emery because the most vindictive
and Republican-hating Democrat il

sponsor for Emery, and whom Emery
would appoint Attorney General, il

ernorship, next November. resen

situation that they are wholly pure
and without single vice, and that tn,
Republican party which they aim tt
destroy, is wholly vile, and without a
single virtue.
Judge Gordon-the venomous hate
of the Republican party-was a Law
student of the late Lewis c. Cassidy
who for % years was the Democrat
Boss of Philadelphia, just as Gordol
hopes to be the Democratic Boss, q
