Philadelphia, Sept. 10.
Representative John o. Sheatz, the
Republican nominee for state treas
urer, Is assured of the votes of so
per cent of the citizens of Philadel-
phia who supported the City Party
nominees who were elected to county
Offices two years. He is, OF course,
going to poll the full stalwart Republi-
can vote, so that an unprecedented ma
jority may be looked for at the No
vember election.
Not only are the City Party leaders
OF this city outspoken in their support
Of Mr Sheath, but from every section
Of the state come reports that the inde-
pendents generally intend to swell his
vote with the belief that he will make
q clean cut and independent official,
Mr. Sheath has splendid record as
a state legislator. He has had the dis
tinction of being upon both the City
Party and the Republican party tickets
in his representative district upon the
last two occasions upon which he was
a candidate, and reformers and regu-
lars continue to indorse his legisla-
tive course at Harrisburg.
As chairman of the committee on
appropriations of the last house, he
performed the arduous duties Of that
position in a manner to command uni
versal commendation.
