Err STARTS OFF
Diller Ee-elected Chairman a
Meeting at Which Senator
Crow Is a Speaker

Second street clubhouse last night
resolutions were adopted by a unani-
nous vote endorsing the whole Re-
publican ticket from top to bottom and
\ pledging the support of the influential
organization to its election.
The meeting was the opening of the
campaign in Harrisburg and the at
tendance of members vas large and
enthusiastic. President LeRue Metz
ger called the attention of the MEM
bers to the splendid ticket nominated
by the Republicans and to the oppor-
tunity to show that the State Capital
supported the nominees. Daniel l..
hiester, former member of the Legis-
lature, then presented the resolutions
which were adopted after remarks by
City Chairman H. f. owes, william
Pavord and Mr.. Kiester.
The resolutions adopted were as
follows:
Resolved. That the Harrisburg Re-
commends to the voters of the state
at the November election, the whole
Republican ticket. 1t is a ticket for
which no excuses need be made. 1t is
headed by Honorable Boise Penrose as
the candidate for United States Sena-
tor. He represents the policy of pro-
tectlon TO American industries, under
which this grand old Keystone State
has prospered, and the overthrow of
which has created the industrial depres-
sion through which we are now pass
ing; he stands for protection to Ameri-
can citizens and American interests
wherever found; he believes in America
FOR Americans and opposes a spineless
policy of watchful waiting when
American lives are being sacrificed and
American property destroyed.
honorable A. ;. Kreider, of Lebanon
county, our candidate for Congress-, has
convinced the people of his district that
he is eminently capable to represent
them. His conscientious devotion to
duty and his persistence in obtaining
anything which benefits his district, as
shown by the additional appropriation
for charging the Harrisburg Post
Office, commends him as a Representa-
elected.
Our candidate for Governor. Honor
able Martin G.. Brumbaugh. by his re-
markable record as a public educator,
has made a national as well as a State
reputation, and stands for the highest
Ideals in public, as well as private life.
l. Honorable Frank McClain, as a legis-
lator and Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, has already demonstrated
his entire fitness to acceptabl fill the
office of Lieutenant Governor. while
Honorable Henry Houck. with his rug
ged honesty and his e~ffervescent good
nature, has overwhelmingly shown to
the satisfaction of the entire State, his
ability to fill the office of Secretary of
Internal Affairs. to which he seeks re-
election.
In our local ticket, the city of Har-
risburg is no less fortunate. Augustus
Wildman served with a diligent atten-
ton and ability as a member of the
last House of Representatives and de-
serves reelection to the next. Joshua
W.. Swartz is a lawyer of ability and
a man of experience, and will G edit
ably represent this district in this Leg
i%slature.
The who ticket is made up of men
of honor and integrity, especially cap
able of filling the several offices for
which they. are candidates.
But particularly do we commend to
the voters of the whole State, without
regard to party, Honorable George
Kunkel, President Judge of this coun-
ty, as the nonpartisan candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Court. Judge
Kunkel is in the prime of vigorous life;
has made a wonderful and exceptional
forty-eight of the siXty-seven counties
of the State over the other candidates;
and comes from a count which, al
though containing the capital, has
never had a representative on the SUI
preme bench. His neighbors are proud
of him and he should be overwhelming
ly elected.
According to announcements just
made by the management of h
Changers picnic the big gathering at
Williams Grove is to have
a political significance far
greater than ever this Political

L~ancaster's Republican county COM
mittee started its campaign work yes

w. Diller was elected

Lancaster term. An entire new

Crow, of Uniontown; Henry Houck,

Internal Affairs, and Frank B.. Nc
Claim, candidate for Lieutenant-gover-
nor. All prophesied a Republican
sweep in Pennsylvania this Fall. In
referring to Senator Penrose, Chair
man Crow said:
HE is pre-eminently fitted and quail
flied, and when reelected will be able
to do more than any other man in
public lifeI to revive Pennsylvania's
PROSTATE industries and re-establish
healthful and prosperous conditions
lamong the people,"
OF DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh, candi-
Date for Governor, Chairman Crow
said:
HE is a tower of strength. His life
work. known to all, is the record upon
which he stands; a giant in stature
and mental proportions, of sterling
worth and rugged honesty of the com
mon people and familiar with their
needs and struggles. Self-made, he,
as Governor, will give to the State an
administration characterized by supe-
rior ability and uncompromising
straightforwardness in his dealings
