Philadelphia, Oct. D.
There have been very busy times
about the Republican state headQuar'
ters during the last week.
Colonel Wesley r. Andrews, chair.
man of the state committee, has been
almost overwhelmed with callers from
the different counties, eager to con
tribute towards the success of the
ticket. He has been in touch with
tie county chairman, and his reports
all indicate that there will be a very
satisfactory outcome of the campaign.
He has arranged for a number of
speakers of national prominence to
come into Pennsylvania during the
closing days of the canvass, and there
ls no doubt that there will be an en-,
thusiastic wind-up of the campaign.
Vice President Fairbanks, Leslie M.
Shaw. former secretary of the treas
ury; Representative Nicholas Long,
worth, the presidents son-in-law; Sen.
ator Julius Caesar Burrows, of Michi.

the dangers of the bank guaranty sys-
tenn which Mr.. Bryan is advocating.
