In the last few days, in most emphatic
terms in favor of the election of John
o. Sheath, the Republican nominee for

Not only have they eulogized Mr.
Sheath in the highest terms but they
have sent a note of warning to Repub

danger that would come to the Re
publican party in the nation as the
result of = Democratic victory in Penn
sylvania this fall
Upon the eve of a presidential cam
paign, they plead for the wiping out OF
all factional lines, the cementing of the
party organization, and a vigorous and
aggressive onslaught upon the works
Of the common enemy In this, the skr
mish of a great national political
battle.
Knox Points the Way
Senator Knox, who is taking lively
interest in the state campaign, has,
over his own signature, just given ex.
preston to these sentiments:
eve have in Pennsylvania this year
e perfectly simple proposition, and
one in respect to which l do not think
It is possible to mislead the public.
The Republican party has present
ed a good candidate on his own and
his party's good record; and, after all,
how much more substantial a record is
than a prospectus. There are no side
Issues this year and no middle ground
The issue of the campaign now on is
the approval or disapproval of the
party's answering continuity of act
and purpose to express the public will
in legislation and administration,
Live Issues Are Met.
"The Republican party in Pennsyl

political and commercial conscience Of
the people in a way which would com.
mend itself to all TO whom political

with Edwin S. Stuart at the head of
the ticket, who, as governor, has full
filled all the expectations and predic

Now, with a record of permanent
reform to our credit, one of the fruits
of which was the untrammeied selec

directly chosen by the people, we
should poll a vote for this candidate of
unassailed integrity and large public
experience that will set at rest once
