| Gus efforts to carry every close con
gressional district at the coming cleo
| ton.
The Democrats are making a great
canvass to carry the next house and
| 1t behooves Republicans everywhere,
| according to reports received at the
national committee headquarters iG
! New York, to get to work TO line up
| their voters for the party's nominees
! for national representatives.
| No one doubts that Pennsylvania
will roll up 4 big majority for Taft
| and Sherman, but unless there shall
! be close attention paid to perfecting
| the party organization and eniisting
| the rank and file of the voters for the
| congressional candidates IN several of
! the districts there may be a falling off
in the Republican representation from
this state at Washington

to allow this to happen.
Her vast industrial and farming in
| terests, which have thriven so we'll
under Republican rule, must be pro.
| tected. and there is no better way to
| insure q continuance of the Republi-
can party's fostering policy than TO
elect Republicans to congress.

the wage earners, the farm owners,
the manufacturers and business meu
