appreciates the far-reaching effect Of
sweeping Republican victory in this
state upon national conditions and ma
tional politics, and no one better than
he understands how a reduced Repub-
lican vote and a reduced Republican
majority would be heralded as a lack
Of confidence in the policy of protec-
tion which Pennsylvania's representa-
tives in Washington 50 steadfastly
championed at the recent session Of
congress.

an unusually active part in the pres
ent state campaign.

a meeting on Oct. 2s. and he will then
return to Philadelphia to participate

by the Republican Business Mems as
sociation, which is to be held in Ham
merstein's Opera House, the great tenn
pleof music in the Quaker City. which
for the first time will be used for a po-
litical gathering. It was only due to
the prominence Of the members OF the
Business Mems association and the In
terest of the merchants and manufact-
urers of the city in the success of the
Republican ticket that the opera house
was secured.
