supremacy and ii is well that he
should have the directing vote in or
ganizing for the campaign, since he
must necessarily bear the brunt of it.
The meeting TO be held at Chicago
on the 18th of this month will be i'm.
portant, and Democrats are encour-
aged by the announcement that Mr.
Wilson will be present to confer with
the leaders from every State. The
indications are that the campaign is
going to develop many surprises, and
Democrats must have a thorough I'M
derstanding OF their duty. The alb
sence of friction shows that those in
charge of party affairs have but a
single object in thorough and
complete success. Unity and single
ness of purpose like this means a sim
plification of the work and an increase
of opportunity.
The Post is firm in its already ex-
pressed belief that Pennsylvania will
be debatable, with the odds fayoring
the Democrats. This splendid con
dition is due TO the coming together
of the voters with realization that
their efforts are not going to be vast
ed, as they have been in the past.
Heretofore Pennsylvania Democrats
have entered into a campaign discour-
aged and hopeless. These conditions
have been changed, and this year a
united party with solid lines will con
front a disorganized and disguised OPP
position, which makes no attempt 10
hide its own fear of defeat.
This feeling is not confined to Penn
sylvania 1t is Nationwide, and rep
resents the growth of the progressive
sentiment and confidence in tne Dem
ocratic party.

THE BIGGEST APPLE CROP EVER

The biggest apple crop ever known
is said to be in sight for 1912, The
New York Journal of Commerce
learns from apple men who have
earned something of a reputation IN
the predicting OF the size of crops
that probably 50,0O0,000 barrels of ap-
pies will be marketed this year, as
against 3Q.0o0,0oo barrels in 1911. In
no state where apples are grown IS
there the prospect of a failure; in
New York Maine Massachusetts and
Michigan the outlook is the best ev-
er known: in Pennsylvania, Mary
land, West Virginia and Virginia, bet
ter crops are expected than last year;
in Arkansas, Missouri. Kansas and II
linois the yield promises to be larger
than for several years past; and in
what is known as the Box Apple Ter.
rtory" OF the States of Washington,
Oregon and Idaho the present crop
will not only be incomparably larger
than that of last year, but it may
be double that of 1910, a year that
broke all records The reason for
this is two-fold; the seasons have
been splendid, and so many new
trees have begun to bear since 1910
that it is estimated that the fruitful
acreage of this region is now about
$4,000 acres. as against $4,000 two
years ago. There is every reason for
thinking that the apple crop will get
htrf
unfortunately, there u no ground for
hoping that the prices will get any
lower. We wonder if the producer
gets as much per barrel for crop OF
5O,0oo0eo barrels as for a crop OF 3d.
100000. or, if not, where the money
goes? The consumer has not been
benefited by big crops in the past, ex-
cept that it has been possible to get
finer fruit,

MR.. BROWNS DENOMINATION

The denomination of Congressman
w. G. Brown, today at Grafton, was
an honor worthily bestowed. Mr.
Brown is the first Democrat to rep
resent this district in Congress since
the days of the lamented William L.
Wilson, and he has proven himself a
servant in whom the people have i'm
plicit confidence, and one who can
be trusted to guard every interest EFT
trusted to his care.
Two years ago Mr.. Brown entered
the race for Congress against Con
Vessman Sturgiss, very strong
man, and won the greatest victory ev-
er achieved in this district No soon
er was he dominated than did he en-.
ter upon an aggressive campaign.
and he did not religuish his efforts
until every ballot had been counted
and his election declared.
During that memorable campaign
he promised the people, in case Of
his election, that he wiuld carefully
protect their interests. and every
promise has been fulfilled. Entering
upon his duties he at once took high
rank, because his ability was instant
ly recogized and he was placed on
the most important committees. How
well he has succeeded is proven by
the confidence his party has in him
by uuanimOus asking him to make an
other race.
Mr.. Brown will make the same Wig
orOus campaign he made two years
ago. He will visit every section Of
the district, and explain what the
Democratic congress mas done. He
will be assisted by the prominent mon
Of the party. and there will no nook
or corner Of the district that will not
have an opportunity to hear the issues
of the campaign discussed from a
Democratic stand point
General @onley, his opponent viii
doubtless wage a fierce hattie
will endoavcr to put the district back
again in the Republican column, and
it will be necessary for every Demo
crat 10 be on the alert. The Repuh
llcans are determined to win tbs
year and they will use all effort
known to carry their point
Mr.. Brown is stronger this year
than when he made his last race. III"
experience in Congress has strength
ened him in many ways, and sine
proving such an efficient servant ac
is in a position to meet his opponent
with a stronger line Of battle
MIR. Brown. The World conEram-
latcs you upon YOUR successful Co.
rear as a Congressman. We cougrat-
llate YOU upon receiving unanimous
renomini ton and We have every rta-
son to believe that the voters OF This
district Irrespective of party will r.
turn Won to Washington 70 complete
the work you have SO well begun, and
to protect their interests.

THE TIDE TURNING.

Every day brings encouraging news
to the Democratic camp. Since the
Baltimore convention great change
has come over the people, and from
one end of the country to the other
they are turning from President Taft
and enlisting under the banner carried
by Governor Woodrow Wilson,
Not only arethe rank and file of the
Republicans deserving it, but the lead
cast their lot With the only progress
i've party in this campaign, and assist
in lifting the burden from the peoples
shoulders and placing it where it right
fully belongs.
One of the latest and most promi-
nent additions to the party is Governor
Charles Osborn, of Michigan. The
governor was follower of Colonel
Roosevelt, and was one of the seven
governors who persuaded the Colonel
to enter the contest against President
Taft. Having received the COlonel's
answer, Governor Osborn threw him
self into the fight and rendered a good
account of himself,
He took his defeat philosophically,
but refused to enter the new party
Following the Baltimore convention,
and knowing that strong men had been
nominated, he was not slow in an
nouncing that he would support the
ticket and lend it whatever assistance
he could.
