With remarkable earnestness and en-
thusiasm for an off year the Republi-
cans OF Pennsylvania are pushing their
campaign for the election OF John o.
Sheath as state treasurer in every
county in the state.
The demand from the voters to hear
Mr.. Sheath is unprecedented under the
circumstances. Two weeks before the
time for which his canvass was sched-
uled to be opened, he has had to keep
upon the go responding to calls to ad-
dress meetings, to attend county fairs,
and to take part In gatherings of
Changers and other bodies OF citizens
of the grand old commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Sheath does not claim to be an
orator. He is a plain, matter of fact
business man; an honest, sincere, un-
sophisticated man of the people. Wher-
ever he has spoken he has made friends
and wherever his pledges to conduct
the office of state treasurer in accord
ance with the promises made at the
outset Of his campaign are heard. they
are believed.
He has made votes wherever he has
gone, whether he spoke to his old
neighbors of Berks county, or to the
sturdy Republicans of the adjoining
county of Lehigh, where he addressed
several thousands at the Republican
county meeting at Emaus, or TO the
great assemblage in Northampton that
oh I'm, To hn hn 81,
meeting at Bethlehem, or at the Elks'
clam bake in Allegheny county, where
fully 10000 citizens gave him a tre-
mendous ovation, or at the meeting
last week in the Kensington district of
Philadelphia, where 5000 employees of
the ship yards in that section saluted
him as a former apprentice boy work
ing in oyeralls in Baldwin's locomo-
tive works, and resolved to roll up a
handsome majority for him on cleo
ton day-it was the same story.
Shestz-the Man of the Hour.
The man of the hour-a man to
meet every requirement of a faithful,
honest, economical administration of
the office of state treasurer
Colonel Wesley r. Andrews, chair
man Of the Republican state commit
tee, who is working night and day to
keep up with his correspondence with
Republicans in every county in the
state who are enlisted for Mr. Sheatz's
campaign, is looking forward to great
results as the outcome of the activity
of the members of the State League
of Republican Clubs, of which Mr.
Sheatz is vice president
After addressing the club mems
convention, Candidate Sheath will go
to the Hanover fair in Susquehanna
county on Thursday of next week, and
on the following day he is booked to
address a meeting in Wilkes Barre,
where great preparations are being
made by prominent Republicans to give
him a cordial reception. Former Post
master General Charles Emory Smith
will accompany Mr.. Sheath to Wilkes
Barre and make speech in favor of
his election.
Wants to Meet the People.
After next week Mr. Sheath win
have a regular itinerary and will
speak once or twice almost every day
until the end Of the campaign.
81 want to meet the voters face to
face" remarked Mr.. Sheath, few days
ago. Il want them to see what manner
of man | am. and to talk to them
frankly upon the issues of the cam
paign. | want to leave it to them to
Judge whether my record at Harris
burg as member Of the Legislature
does not justify confidence in my full
filling all my pledges regarding the
administration of the Office of state
treasurer"
