Announcement Of the tremendous
enrolment of Republicans through
out Pennsylvania as made yesterday
by Secretary w. Harry Baker, of the
Republican State committee, has
started Republicans to work with re-
newed vigor all over the State in an
effort to make the vote square up with
the enrolment. It has caused a cor
responding degree OF dependency in
the Democratic camp where efforts
to explain the failure to enroll half
a million was the chief business of
; the day.
The marked difference between the
headquarters of the two parties tells
its own story in this campaign. The
Republican State headquarters in
Philadelphia is a scene of hustle and
hustle and every county is in touch
with the State chairman. while State
candidates are addressing nightly
meetings and county meetings are be-
ing held in every county as they are
in Dauphin. The Democratic wind
mill in this city is one of the most
dismal places one could get into and
as for meetings and other campaign
moves that show a live committee
there is nothing doing.
The Republicans began the last
week of the campaign with a series
OF notable meetings, especially in
Pottsville, Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh. Tomorrow the State candi-
dates will be in Lancaster Tonight
some of them will be in Juniata and
adjoining counties with a meeting in
Mifflintown.
