PENROSE SOUNDS A WARNING
Philadelphia to Stand Loyalty by the
Full Party Ticket, and Importance
of Big Vote In State Is Dwelt Upon.
Especial Correspondence
Philadelphia, Oct. 12.


With Governor Stuart presiding at
the opening meeting of the campaign,
the largest Republican rally ever held
in South Philadelphia, the canvass for
the state and local candidates may be
said to be fairly under way.
That every man on the Republican
city ticket will be elected by at least
$4,000 majority is the confident pre-
diction of those in a position to gauge
public sentiment and that Judge Won
Moschzisker, Philadelphias represen-
tative on the state ticket and his col
leagues, Messrs. Sisson and Stober,
will poll the full party vote, is con-
ceded on every hand.
There is a spectacular campaign be-
ing waged by a few malcontents
against the local Republican ticket,
with the aid of the Wanamaker news
papers.
The fact that all of the Independent
newspapers are this time refusing to
foster the schemes of the Van Valken.
burg political bureau is source of
chagrin to the old-time insurgents.
The great mass of the public spirited
citizens are in line with the Repub,i-
can party.
Governor Leads the Way.
Governor Stuarts attitude is truly
representative of the thought of the
best citizenship of the community.
In his address opening the campaign
| the governor among other things said:
81 am here tonight in behalf OF the
Republican ticket, at a Republican
meeting, to speak in favor and to use
my best efforts, and by my presence. to
show my sympathy with the Republi-
can ticket, and my interest in the sue
cess of that ticket in state, city and
county, at this time, in Philadelphia.
"The state ticket is headed by can
didate whom you well know, and that
position is justice of the supreme
court.
THAT gentleman has been nominal
ed by the Republican party for the Of
| fee of justice of the supreme court,
and the name of the gentleman is
Judge Won Moschzisker, resident of
the Philadelphia bar, and he has filled
the position as a member of one OF our
courts for the past seven years; a
young man of undoubted ability and
integrity, and q man, to my mind, who
will make one of the greatest jurists
of this commonwealth. By reason of
his position as a candidate for the su.
preme court OF Pennsylvania, he will
not be here tonight"
He then paid tribute to each of
the local candidates, and in present.
ing Messrs. Sisson and Stober, the
state nominees, who were present at
the meeting, he was very felicitous.
Tribute For Penrose.
Not only was the initial meeting OF
the canvass a great and imposing af
fair, but on the following night there
was a great demonstration given in
honor of Senator Penrose by the work
ingmen of Kensington in recognition
of his services In formulating the new
tariff bill.
This was undoubtedly the greatest
gathering Of the kind ever held in this
city. 1t was an expression Of loyalty tc
the Republican party, which will be
evinced, as they said, in practica,
way in the vote at the coming elec
ton.
The nominees on the Republican
state ticket had a conference with
Colonel Wesley r. Andrews, chairman
of the Republican state committee
this week, and report that the recep
tions accorded them in every place
they have visited have been spontan
eous and cordial in their enthusiasm
They are assured that there are no de
fections or dissensions anywhere. ant
