County VIII Give Republican Ticket
Substantial Majority at No

MCCORMICK IS GOING SLOWLY

Franklin county will give a substan-
tial majority for the Republican State
ticket and it is a question whether
Democrats or Bull Moosers will run
second. This was demonstrated on
Saturday when the Penrose party
spoke at half a dozen places and re-
ceived the greetings of many men who
had been active in various inSurgent
movements. the welcomes extended to
the Senator being in striking contrast
to the manner in which the Demo-
Gratis lined up by bosses received the
Mccormick party.
The tour of the county by Penrose
was too much for Mccormick and he
also invaded Franklin, going to places
where he hoped that his presence
would arouse some interest. He found
the Democratic machine in bad shape
and so rusted and disjointed that it is
doubtful If financial lubricants can get
1t back into running order.
Senator Penrose, eX-Congressman
Focht and others spoke at Chambers
burg and Dry Run being well re-
ceived everywhere. Mccormick trailed
along and being prevented by the rules
of Dry Run from making a speech
broke loose at Chambersburg. Among
other silly things he did was to "chal-
lenge" DR.. Brumbaugh to tell If he
was for the remainder of the Repub
lican ticket nominated with INN at the
May primary.
Senator Penrose's speech at Cham
bersburg was a vigorous denunciation
of the men who are assailing the Re-
publican party after
having been its bene-
Penrose Hits ficiaries. He did not
Hard at the pay any attention to
Machinists McC or m C k, which
probably accounts for
the savagery of the
Democratic candidates newspaper to-
day. The senator went after William
Finn and other. Washington party
men in the home town of A. Nevin
DIETRICH, who is the chairman of
Films machine committee, and it is
believed that from now on he will give
the Pittsburgher something to think
about. The senator also plans to make
some remarks about the Democratic
machines workings, the post office
appointments having been under in
vestigation lately. The senator is to
speak at Lebanon on Thursday, which
will be big time in Lebanon county.
Democratic machinists who have
been hoping for fusion in order that
the defeat of their State ticket may
not be so overwhelming
were given a jolt by the
Bull Moosers on Satur- Lewis Keeps
day when the whole Actively On
State ticket. with excep- the Stump
ton of Clifford Pinchot,
who was getting mar
ried on that day, turned out to make
speeches at the Progressive rally in
Lehigh county. The rally was not
attended by more than 500 persons
but the sentiment appeared to be dead
against any fusion with the embar-
rassed Democratic machine. Dean
Lewis was the chief speaker and gave
no indications of ceasing his activity
on the stump. Many of his hearers
urged him to remain on the ticket and
fight the Democratic administration.
which has been denounced by Roose-
welt.

THE BATTLE OF BLENHEIM
august 13, l704)
IL was summer evening
Old kaspar's work was done,
And he before his cottage door
Was sitting in the sun;
And by him sported on the green
His little grandchild Wilhelmine.
She saw her brother Peterkin
Roll something large and round
Which he beside the rivulet,
In playing there had found;
He came to ask what he had found
round
Old Kaspar took it from the boy.
Who stood expectant by;
And then. the old man shook his head.
AND, with natural sigh
Tis some poor fellows SKULL" said he
Who fell in the great victory.
II find them in the garden,
For there's many hereabout;
And often, when / go to plough,
Inc ploughshare turns them out;
For many thousand men," said he.
Were slain in the great victory"
Now tell us what t was all about"
Young Peterkin he cries:
And little Wilhelmine looks up
With wonder waiting eyes
Now tell us all about the war,
And what they fought each other for"
1T was the English" Kaspar cried,
Who put the French to rout;
But what they fought each other for
| could not we'll make out:
But everybody said" quoth he,
That t was famous victory.
My father lived at Blenheim then.
-, "Yon little stream hard by;
They burnt his dwelling to the ground
l.. And he was forced to fly;
So with his wife and child he fed,
Nor had not where to rest his head.
With fire and sword the country round
Was wasted far and wide
And mary childing mother there,
And newborn baby died;
But things like that, you know. must
be
At every famous victory.
They say it was a shocking sight
After the field was won
For many. thousand bodies here
Lay rotting in the sun;
But things like that, you know, must be
After famous victory.
Great praise the Duke of Marlborough
won,
And our good Prince Eugene"
Why. I was very wicked thing"
Said little Wilhelmine.
Nay. nay, my little girl" quoth he,
1T was famous victory.
"And everybody praised the Duke
Who this great fight did win"
But what good came of 1t at last?"
Quote little Peterlkin.
why, that I cannot tell" said he;
But t was a famous victory"

UNCLE SANS CHANCE

WYE E print elsewhere TODAY a
M most interesting speech by
w James Kelley, editor of the
Chicago Herald, before an
advertising association of that city.
His keen observations respecting
Americas opportunity in the foreign
trade field are worth reading. If
there is one bright gleam out of the
war cloud abroad. 1t is the opportun-
ity of an enormous trade expansion
for this country. Those who are able
to speak by authority declare from
official statistics that out of three
countries in South American there
could be diverted to this country or
ders for goods amounting to almost
$500, 100000. In short, the prodigious
loss to Europe in the way of trade
would result in an increase for Uncle
Sam of over two billions a year II
is stated that the entire export trade
to South America from the whole
world is worth about 5000, 900, 900 and
that we should capture practically
the whole of 1t. In addition, the far
Eastern markets are being opened to
us as never before.

- ent contest for United States
i Senator in this State is so con-
spicuous as the demand OF the
people for experienced men in pubic
station. We have had so much OF
political hysteria and insincere propa-
ganda that the people are surfeited
with fake reform and now insist upon
constructive and substantial work.
This fact counts more largely than
any other one thing in the increasing
strength of United States Senator Pen
rose. He has demonstrated over
long period of years his familiarity
with the needs of Pennsylvania ana
without frills of any sort he has con-
tinued to stand at Washington for the
nolicies that have always counted in
the prosperity of this imperial Com
monwealth.
Wherever he goes nowadays Senator
Penrose finds among those who are
pledging him their support men VINO
frankly admit that they have not been
on his side for several years. Ihese
do not hesitate to say that they have
perience that statesmen and not theor-
lists are now required in the counsels
of the nation. Business men declare
openly that they are for Senator rem
rose because they believe him 10 pe
oualifed as no other individual In
pennsylvania is qualified to represent
this state with all its great interests
at Washington; that the election OF
one not in touch with the needs OF
PENNSYLVANIA would be a positive
menace to it's future prosperity and
development.
This same attitude is observed on
the part of the toilers of the state
who have discovered through woeiui
experience that theories do not hll
the dinner pail or clothe their chill
dren. Impractical and visionary lead
ers succeeded in misleading a large
part of our population, but great
light has broken upon thousands OF
voters who have learned for them
selves that theory is one thing ana
practice Is another.
Senator Penrose doubtless realizes
the personal hostility of a few men to
himself as a party leader, but indiffer-
ent to their bitter attacks he is going
on his way meeting the people, talk
ing with them, and learning at first
hand the conditions which have come
about through Democratic fallacy and
the free-trade experiment.
There are great masses of men who
had been acting out of harmony with
are Republican party and who are say
ing little about their intentions, but who
will give vigorous expression to their
views at the ballot box in November.
No doubt remains of the election of
all the Republican nominees in the
general upheaval against an admins
tration of the affairs of the country
which has been so disastrous to its
welfare.

Colonel Roosevelt is strongly of the
opinion that the Monroe doctrine has
been largely responsible for our peace
with the world. He pointed out in his
Hartford speech Saturday night that
without this safeguard we would prob
ably now be at war owing to the dis
position of foreign countries to colo
nize on the American continent. The
Colonel also took a fall out of the
worthless treaties which have been
snapped as a spiders web during the
last two weeks. He stands for a navy
that will mean business and which will
prevent the encroachment of the out
side nations.

THE CHAP OF IRON NERVE
By Wing Dinger

You talk about the chap who has
A lot of iron nerve,
Because in war on land or sea
He leaves his home to serve.
1 will agree 1t takes a heap
OF grit to stand in front
OF belching guns and cannons to
Help bear the battles brunt.
But in this war we're introduced
To men of sunny France.
Who volunteer for work in which
They haven't got a chance.
1t is the chap who aeroplanes
Some thousand feet in air
To ram the enemy's balloon
Which may be scouting there.
He knows before he leaves the earth
Just what the end will be-
That he's the nerviest of them all,

Middle Glass. to which the great bulk
of our citizens belong.
At the present time this large part
of our population Is being ground, so
to speak, between the upper milestone
of the necessity of keeping up appear
ances and the neither one of the high
cost of everything.
Our grandmothers wore calico
dresses costing not more than rs cents.
1t would now take the price of ten to
twenty such dresses to buy hat for
one of our daughters in the high
school. What is more significant. our
grandmothers earned the dresses
themselves by working perhaps a
whole week at housework. Do our
young girls earn their hats?
OF course, times are different and
we don't expect our young daughters
to earn their millinery. But the fact
remains that the present generation
must pay exorbitantly for it's clothing.
There seems to be something like
conspiracy between the designers and
the manufacturers of womens hats
and dresses to prevent the develop
ment of a Standardization of styles.
Every year brings a radical change
in cut, color and texture, compelling
the purchase of complete new outfits
unless a woman wants to be out of
style. which is nothing short of a
calamity from the feminine point of
view. or the masculine either, for that
matter.
This is one thing which for the time
is beyond our control. but there are
many others involving our expendi-
ture of money which we can regulate,
and doing so is the only hope of eco
nomic salvation for us of the Great
Middle Class, for by so doing we are
enabled to save some of our resources
and build up a reserve fund the earn
ings Of which will eke out our own.
