The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1909-10-28

If the Democrats of Pennsylvania
fail to elect their ticket this year 1t
will be for the reason that they
haven't sufficient civic virtue to influ-
ence them to perform the plain duty
of good citizenship. The Republican
machine has done everything possible
during the campaign to help the Dem
ocrats. They have outraged the pub
lie conscience by nominating a ticket
composed of servile slaves, they have
forced the efligy Of Quay, the arch
corruptionist, into a niche in the corri-
dor of the capital to the insult of pub
lie and private morals and finally they
have compelled the supreme court to
issue an order which will give the
capitol grafters immunity from Just
punishment for all time. These things.
treading upon each others heels, have
disgusted the better element of the
Republican party and If the Democrats
are faithful TO their admirable candi-
dates they will be elected by an over
whelming majority.

The ISSUE DEFINED
Mr. Niles Presents the Points For;L
bly, and Clearly.
[From the Harrisburg Patriotl

IOlll lIt lSbul I llbl.
No one can read the speech of Hon.
Henry c. Niles at the POttsyillo mass
meeting without being impressed by
his sincerity, the power OF his logic
and the clarity OF his statement of the
facts of recent political history in
Pennsylvania. Calmly, without any
suggestion of rancor or ill-humOr Mr..
Niles presents the issue of this cam.
paign SO forcibly that he who runs
may read. Speaking of the candidacy
of Judge Won Moschzisker, MIR. Niles
trenchantly declares:
The chief reason for the general
opposition of the bar of the state
TO Judge Robert Won Moschzisker
Is that he is the product and the
candidate of the Philadelphia ma.
chine. If he were the most learned
and able lawyer in the state, the
fact that the influence of his learn.
ing and ability has never been
against. but always in support OF
the sordid spoils system OF poll.
tics. which Is our disgrace and
shame, were sufficient to make us
pause.
Such logic Is inescapable. Men do
not look for the champions of decent
government among the adherents and
beneficiaries of that machine that fat
tens on bad government, substituting
for the good of the people the good OF
a little coterie OF contractors. \ man
is known by the company he keeps IN
politics as well as in private life.
The duty of the Independent, pa.
triotic Republican is plainly pointed
out by Mr.. Niles when he says OF the
Democratic candidates:
They should be supported by the
same Independent Republican sen.
timent and vote that supported
John Stewart for the supreme
court and Berry for the treasury
in 1905. The highest duty of true
Republicans in 1905 was TO vote
against PMmmer and elect Berry.
The highest duty OF true RepuDll-
cans in 1909 is to defeat the can
didates nominated by the Phila'
delphia gang, and vote for Nun
son, Kipp and Clark, who are free
from taint.
When he declares that the Demo-
cratic candidates are free from taint
Mr.. Niles puts his finger upon the
very core of the truth in this cam
paign. Sisson Sto1er AMI Won
MoschZisker all have records OF ale
glance to the machine through thlcK
and thin that brands them with the
stamp OF the spoils system. The polltl.
cal preferment they have received az
the hands of the machine has been III
payment of service rendered, not 10
the people but to the men who spehl
their lives in debasing the machlner!
of democratic government to their own
selfish ends.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1909-10-28

Get out the vote 1t will be an hon
or to the people of Pennsylvania to
elect such men as Munson, Clark and
kipp to important public Offices. There
is an adage that men are judged by
the company they keep" and it is
equally certain that communities are
measured by the standard of the men
they choose to represent them in pub,
lie life. If Sisson, Stober and Won
Moschzisker are elected to the offices
for which they have been nominated
over Clark, Kipp and Munson, the i'm
preston will be justified that the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania prefer evil to
good, that they would rather have un.
tit than fit public servants.

"Therefore, they are not satisfactory
to the true Republicans. and ought to
be defeated by them.
"In 1906 the duty Of Independent
Republicans was to elect Berry. the

duty of the same class of patriotic In
dependent Republicans is to elect the
Democratic candidates. Kipp, for state

ers should be punished and this ac'loh

says, the Republican machine mailas'

We have sadly failed in our pur-
pose as well as fallen short of our
duty if we have failed to make clear
to any intelligent mind that the Dem
ocrats of Pennsylvania can have an
easy and glorious victory this fall. A
full Democratic vote will give the can
didates of the party an overwhelming
majority. Ninety per cent. of a full
vote will give them a large majority
and eighty per cent. of the vote for
Mr.. Bryan last fall will guarantee
their election, 1t will be impossible
to get out the full vote in the cities,
where personal registration is requir-
ed, but full vote in the country dis.
tricts will bring the total up to ninety
per cent. of the Bryan aggregate. Let
every Democrat strive for this result.

CHAIRMAN DEWAlT
MAKES STRONG APPEAL
In Personal Letter to Committeeman,
He Urges Activity on Eleo-
ton Day.

The Democratic state committee has
effective campaign. No opportunity to
create interest in and arouse enthu-
siasm for the candidates of the party
has been overlooked. II has been an
exceedingly quiet campaign so far as
"blaring trumpets and tinkling Gym
balls" go. But every party worker in
the state has been directly appealed to
and personally urged to effort.
One of the last appeals of the cam.
paign was in the form of personal
letter of Chairman Dewalt to the chair
men and members of the Democratic
county and city committees. There are
about 10000 of them, all told, but not
one was neglected. Following is the
text of this letter, which will be of in
tercst to all Democrats:
Democratic State Central Committee
of Pennsylvania.
Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. 2l. 1909.
MY Dear Sir-A thorough organiza-
tiCn of our forces throughout the state
at this time will result in a substantial
victory at the coming election, but this
organization cannot be obtained unless
| have the individual aid of every
county chairman and every county
committeeman in the commonwealth
who is a Democrat. The wonderful
canvass that has been made by our
state candidates, and the reports that
we are receiving at headquarters con.
vince us that victory is not only a pos
sibility but probability, and this as
surance will be made certain If ! can
obtain from you and the rest of my
committeeman throughout the com.
monwealth substantial aid.
The Republicans up to this time
have not been alarmed by our quiet
efforts, and it is well that we do not
arouse them to activity. Our oppor-
tunity is whilst they are apparently
asleep. ] know that in every district
in this state there are hundreds of
Democrats who are not in the habit
because the committeeman who are in
charge have failed to induce them to
go there. The best way, in my judg.
ment, to do this is to see and assure
| each voter, ii possible. that victory is
in the air and that by his vote and the
vote of his fellow Democrats it will
be made a certainty.
Let me then. at this time, implore
you as never before, to put your shoul.
der to the wheel | know what indi
vidual effort in this direction amounts
| to-
The people of this commonwealth
are not only unwilling to continue the
rule of the Republican gang, but they
are willing to aid honest government
| If they believe that there is a chance
for success, and the only hope of sue
cess lies in the work that Democrats
| like yourself may do.
! Personally, the Democratic chairman
cannot see the individual voters anC
he must depend upon the county chair
men and county committeeman to dc
this work for him, and in these las
days of the campaign | appeal to you
in this personal letter to make a thor
ough canvass Of your district and ar
range to have every Democratic votel
at the polls. This will win.
] ami, very respectfully yours,
ARTHUR G. DEWALT,
Chairman.

AN APPEAL TO SOLDIERS
Veteran Of the Valiant "Bucktais"
Gives Reasons Why Sisson Should
De Defeated,


The following open letter to the vet
with equal force to soldiers of the
Spanish-American War, was written
by a member Of the famous Buck
tails who has always been Re
publican:
When the martyred
Lincoln called us boys to imperil life
and health; to go lCgless, armless and
sightlcss to our graves. in defense of
the Union, there went out with that
call the assurance that we should be
taken care of in our old age. What do
YOU think Lincoln would have said II
he could have seen more than 100000
"old vets" marching to their graves on
a less pension that the country pays
for keeping prisoners? No doubt if he
could have seen that he would have
prayed for Booths bullet to relieve
him from the sight.
pennsylvania soldiers, who revere
the name Of Andrew G. Curtin, the
great war governor, the soldiers
friend, the father of our soldiers or
phans' schools, what do you think this
great patriot would have said to
prison-house rates for the fast dying
and disabled soldiers and their wild
ows? Can any soldier think of it
without a shudder?
What, then, should we think of
Senator A. E. Sisson, who by the
power vested in him. as president pro
TEN. of the state senate. has nullifed
the express will of the people of Penn
sylvania in burying the act of the
popular branch of the Legislature in
the noisome recesses of his own
finance committee of the senate.
THAT act of the legislature would
have given each of the old soldiers Of
Pennsylvania the sum of s72 year, to
assist them in the dark, cold days Of
the winter of their lives. And yet Sen
ator Sisson, by his own act. denied
that meager relief to the soldiers Of
PENNSYLVANIA and their widows and
children.
when you go to the polls. on the
I'd of November, before casting your
ballot for this man Sisson, think of the
sunshine that act of giving you s72 a
year, out of the s12,000,000 surplus in
the state treasury, would have con.
veyed to your homes and firesides, and
then vote against the man who turned
the intended generosity Of the state
into disappointment and wormwood
and ashes.
Think of Senator Sisson voting in
this committee to prevent the presen-
tation of the act of the lower house to
the senate-and then vote against him.
"Old soldiers sons of veterans and
wives and widows of the survivors of
the war. raise your voices and cast
your votes against this man Sisson,
who said the dues and good will of the
| Keystone State should not be extend
ed to the aged, failing, fast-dying, de-
| tenders of our commonwealth and our
country. Vote against him.
Tell this man, who has desecrated
| the name of Pennsylvania, that he can
not, by your suffrages, be chosen to
hold an honorable Office in Pennsyl.
vania.
Think of what this s72 a year
would have meant to you, in the mat
| ter of needed, direct relief and in the
matter of your states gratitude.
Don't vote for Sisson. He took $72
year from you. The state had, and
has, ample means to pay this. Don't
vote for him. | beg and inplore you
not to.

According to information gathered
with care, the Democrats have very
much the better of the registration in
the cities of the third class. In other
words, while there has been a consid-
cradle falling off in the registry as
compared with the last year, the Re
publican party will suffer much more
than the Democrats in the diminished
vote. This fact ought to encourage
Democrats in the boroughs and town
ships, where personal registration is
not necessary, to get out a full vote
so that they may share, In full meas
ure, with their political friends in the
cities in the victory which will be
achieved as a result.
