Great Demand For stuart.
There was a great demand upon
Chairman Andrews, of the Republican
state committee for meetings to be
addressed by Candidate Stuart, and
as far as possible an effort was made
to meet every reasonable request for
such meetings.
Colonel Andrews has announced the
appointment of Colonel Daniel \.
Shepp. a member of Governor Penny
packers staff, to be chief Of the bu
reau of speakers for the Republican
state committee. Colonel Shepp has
many friends throughout the state,
and it is predicted that he will enlist
many of the best orators Of the Repub
lican party in this and other states in
the cause of Republicanism in Penn
sylvania.
Uncle "Joe" Cannon Is among 9th.
ers that Colonel Shepp is confident he
will have to speak for the whole Re
publican ticket In this state this fall
| Colonel Shepp has been in communi-
cation with Chairman Sherman, of the
Republican National Congressional
| Committee, and has been advised that
| q uuMUcI vi udttOuhl CStttEIllcS Will Ue
| assigned to speak in this state Re-
publicans realiye that the skirmish
of the next presidential campaign is
now going on.
The loyalty OF Republicans every
where must be appealed TO, that they
shall not be misled by the cry for fu-
sion candidates, with the declarations
that there is no national Significance
to the canvass in this state this fall
Emery and his supporters are busy
with arguments that this is simply
local fight but when the Garmans, the
Guffeys, the Donnsllys sud the Ryans
ct al. go over to New York and tell
Bryan what they are really doing In
Pennsylvania 1t is time that Rspubli-
cans all along the line should awaken
to the true situation and rally around
the banner of Edwin S. Stuart, their
nominee for governor, and have Penn
sylvania give a ringing answer to the
Bryan presidential boomers with q tre-
mendous Republican ana Roosevelt
majority in November.
