Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, chair
man of the Republican state commit

to the Republicans Of Pennsylvania.
He made It clear that he expects

Chairman Andrews. from the head
quarters Of the Republican state com

an aggressive campaign. Not that the

success for granted, and make no espe

It was this danger Of over-confidence
that Colonel Andrews had in mind to-
: day.
Pennsylvania is the banner Repub-
lican state; we have the votes, and to
poll the right kind of majority It is
only necessary for the voters to cast
their ballots" said the chairman

The Judicial Canvass.
Judge Robert Won Moschzisker Will
make a great supreme court justice
He has a splendid record as a COM

lawyers of the state as one of the
ablest members of the Pennsylvania
bar, and he has the confidence of all
been uttered against him since his
nomination. His qualifications for the
supreme bench are conceded by every
body. He ought to be elected by a
tremendous majority His Democratic
opponent, Mr.. Munson, is presenting
this state with spectacle It has never
before witnessed. He is the only can
didate for high judicial office, who,
In his eagerness for election, has so
far overlooked the proprieties as to
make personal and compromising
campaign for votes. He is now on a
campaign tour, meeting the voters and
making what are nothing more nor
less than ordinary stump speeches. In
Williamsport he maintains a large lit
erary bureau, which has sent out
thousands Of documents and letters,
in which he asks the voters TO sup
port him as a non-partisan candidate.
He has adopted the endless chain sys.

means hopes to reach every voter in
the state.

the man seek the office manifestly has
no place In the Democratic candidates

Republicans will entertain for a mo-

for a Democratic candidate for the su-
preIhe court.
"Mr. Munson's conduct In the cam

dignity OF the highest judicial tribunal
