volved. They claim-the Democrats
and the Lincolnites-that they alone
can give good government. Yet. il
we take into consideration the work OF
the recent session of the special legis-
lature we find that every reform de-
mandcd by the most drastic reformcr
was adopted. In other words, the Re,
publican party gave direct proof that
it was not only willing but anxious to
lead the movement for political re-
form and political regeneration
The platform OF the Republican party
and the candidates in person stand for
the purest and the most advanced
ideas. The Republican state platform
is linked with that Of the Republican
party of the nation To separate the
two is impossible. When you vote for
Stuart you vote for the Endorsement OF
the policies of Theodore Roosevelt
When you vote for Emery you give aid
and sustenancc to the supporters OF
William J. Bryan
In plain words. we are going to de
eide in November whether we are
Roosevelt Republicans or Bryan Demo

There will be those who will declare
that their support of Emery is not an
Endorsement of Bryan But 1t will be,
Just the same
The situation is one of deep interest
and it is useless to deny that it is also
one of concern. Two years before the
nominating convention will be held,
Bryan is as good as nominated al
ready State after state has declared
for him through Democratic state con
ventiOns. During the past week two
more states fell into line. Wisconsin
went wild over his name and indorsed
him outright as the standard bearer
of 1905 PENNSYLVANIA Democrats went
on record in practically the same man
ner, for they hailed him as the great
Democratic commoner, who IS now
regarded as the certain successor Of
Theodore Roosevelt"

stuart's Personal Strength.
There are new evidences given daily
Of the admitted strenth of the Repub-
lican nominee for governor.
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
an independent newspaper which sup
ported Berry and the entire fusion
ticket last fail, says
The nomination OF Edwin s Stuart
for governor places at the head Of the
Republican state ticket a clean, up
right and respected member of the
party. It would not have been pos
sible to find among the regular Re
publicans any other man of reputation
who enjoys more of the good Will OF
the people of Philadelphia than the
ex-mayor and this good will extends
in large measure into the state
Throughout his career he has been
associated with no scandals or abuses
of his making or his sanction either in
official life or In party management;
his personal character is high, and his
instincts as a citizen and as a party
man are In tho direction Of honest poll
tics and good government His ad-
ministratiOn as mayor Of Philadelphia
was one OF the two best under the Bull
lit act. and In every public or semi
public post to which he has been sum
moned his tact sense and integrity
have enabled him to be useful and sue
cessful
There is no doubt that Stuart is in
entire sympathy with the strong plat
form on which he has been nominated,
and that if elected governor he may
be depended upon to carry il ont in
the purposes Of his administration.
Stuart today IS unquestio@2>iy
stronger than his party. or rathoy &c
party organization behind him"
