July trying to find some way to get
out of the fights which are brewing
against them at both ends of the
State. The inside ring or executive
committee is scheduled to meet here

being raised over the patronage dis

that they will be able to put through
the schedule to throw out the Demo-

elected by the people, because the Old
Guard refuses to seat q couple of

Colonel Roosevelt's speech helped
rather than hurt the cause of the
Republican party in Pennsylvania"
said State Senator Will
liam E. Crow, chair

Roosevelt can State committee,
Helped last night. He a
given a keynote for the
Republican campaign
this Fall. His arraignment of the
Wilson Administration, his enumera-
ton of the failure of the national
Democratic leaders to fulfill their
promises to the people, and his ac-
centuation of the distress that has
come upon our Industrial and COM

! of Pennsylvania the Importance Of
electing the full Republican ticket,

phia. His denunciation
of the policies of the
Wilson administration accumulated the
necessity for a united Republican party
TO insure a sweeping victory over the
Democracy in November, not only in
PENNSYLVANIA, but in every congress
sional district throughout the country.
Colonel Roosevelt truthfully said: The
present national administration is pur-
suing a course that prevents the exist
ence of prosperity. and hat does not
offer a single serious or ineligible
plan for passing prosperity around
should prosperity in spite of the adj
m~inistration's efforts at some future
time return to u people. This Is
true, both as regards the trust ques-
ton n the tariff question"
