Philadelphia, Oct. 20.
Uncle Tom" Cooper, the sage OF
Media, and for many years the Re.
publican field marshal of the Key
stone state, has issued a call to arms
for the "Old Guard" OF Pennsylvania
Republicanism to come out and vote
for John o. Sheatz the nominee for
state treasurer at the approaching
election.
For nearly 10 years Uncle Tom"
was at the head Of the Republican
state committee. He has gone through
many a political campaign, and
whether in victory or defeat. he al.
ways bobs up smiling and ready to go
at his old-time foe. the Democracy,
with all the vehemeuce and ardor Of
his nature.
John o. Sheath is going TO be elect,
ed state treasurer, because he de-
serves to be elected" said the peren-
NAL Cooper today. He is an ideal
Republican candidate, and Is entitled
to the vote of every Republican in
the state. He needs no platform in
this campaign but his own personality
and his own record in public and prl-
vate life. | served with him In the
Legislature and know his character
and his work. also know that he Is
a typical Pennsylvania and that he
will allow nothing to interfere with a
faithful and conscientious perform
ance of his official duties. No one
could get him TO vote for a bill in the
legislature that he did not believe was
in the interest OF the people. know
the influences that were brought to
bear upon him to do otherwise, and
was there when he boldly, time and
again, voted NO when the roll was
called upon such measures. We want
men Of that stripe in the office Of
state treasurer
Warning to Party Men.
There is just word | have to
say to the men in the party organiza-
ton in the various counties Of the
state. Do not be fooled. The Demo
Gratis are wide-awake and are going TO
get out their vote. The independent
movements have gone to smash, but
the old.time Democratic enemy is still
doing business at the old stand and
will be at he polls on election day.
No one, of course, looks for Mr..
sheatz's defeat, but 1t 1t just such
conditions as exist today that have
cost the Republican party dearly in
the past. The Republican vote must
be got to the polls.
Taking it for granted that every
thing is all right has been the undo
ing Of many a party leader. What we
want at the coming election is the
greatest possible percentage of the
vote put into the ballot boxes, and
then we will be able to celebrate a
victory OF which every Republican can
be proud and which will put the
party in this state in full strength
upon the firing line for the presiden-
tial battle Of next year.
"Get out the vote; get out the vote;
get out the vote"
Probably no man in Pennsylvania
is taking a keener interest In the can
vass for the election Of Mr.. Sheath
than is Edwin S. Stuart.
The governor was intensely gratifled
when Mr. Sheath received the nomi-
nation, and he was quick to give
cordial Endorsement of the action OF
the convention.
Governor Stuart's Advice.
The governor is just now busy with
his attorney general in preparing the
state capitol cases for trial. He does
not neglect, however. upon any proper
occasion, to urge the election of Mr.,
Sheath,
While his official duties would not
