A "Dreffle Smart Man"

Col. Harvey accompanies the Presi-
Dental forecast with a brilliant satire
on the achievements and vacillations
of President Wilson. whom he de-
scribes as "'dreff1e smart man." af-
ter the description of General c. by
James Russell Lowell in the "Biglow
Papers"
Whether as our President a Ham,
iltoh, is to be preferred to a Burr, q
Cleveland to a Blaine. or a sturdy,
faithful and true scion of fine old Am
erican stock to a "dreffle smart man"
ton which the voters must decide No
vember Z. 1t all resolves, he says into
a question of character, which is the
paramount issue.
In a description of the Presidents s
character, he quotes these lines from
the "Biglow Papers:
"Gineral C. is dreffle smart man:
He's ben on all sides that gives
places or pelf;
But consistency still wuz part of his
He's ben true to one party-an' thet
is himself:
So John p.
Robinson he
SeZ he shall vote for Gineral C.
Col. Harvey continues:
'Since the political situation in 1S4S,
as thus depicted by James Russell
Lowell, bears a striking resemblance
to that of the present time. observers
of the tendency of history to repeat it.
self will be interested to recall that
the vote of John p. was offset by the
of the State of New York and Gineral
c. was defeated. Whether a like fate
awaits the 'dreffle smart man who
now bears aloft the Democratic ban
ner which fell from the palsied hands
of Mr.. Cass sixty eight years ago may
be matter of opinion, but in all other
respects noted by the poet the analogy
is perfect.

THIS COUNTY REPUBLICAN

>ftE political campaign now draw
i ing to close has been the
quietest presidential contest in
the history of Dauphin county. That
is because the Democrats have rec
ognized that this is Republican year,
at least SO far as this city and county
are concerned. and have made little
effort toward the election of their can
didates. 1t has always followed that
when Dauphin county Democrats have
set out to make a hot fight the Repub-
licans have Immediately accepted the
challenge. This year the Republicans
have been left to make their own cam
paign to suit themselves and they have
confined their efforts largely to getting
about among the voters, with personal
canvassing and well attended mass
meetings varying as means of max
ing the candidates known personally
TO every man in the county.
There has been a gratifying absence
of attack and personal abuse. The
Democrats have not engaged in such
tactics and the Republicans never have
been given to that kind of campaign
ing except unuer lHe IOrce OF neCeS-
sity.
Nevertheless. it has been an effective
campaign. 1t goes without saying, for
instance, that Congressman Kreider
and Senator E. E. Beidleman, who
won out in the terrific three-cornered
fight of four years ago, will win again
with the Republican party reunited
this Fall. Dauphin county is normally
Republican and registration and en-
rollment show that it has even stronger
leanings in this direction now than
usual.
1t is assured that the whole Repub-
lican ticket will win both in Harris
burg and the county at large next
week-the best evidence of this being
that not a Democrat was elected here
in 1912, with the Republican party cut
to pieces, and even the standard
bearer of Democracy could not come
within 1000 of carrying the county in
1914. although it was his own home
district.
These facts explain why both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans have been so
quiet this year-the Democrats too
hopeless to fight, the Republicans not
having to make such campaign as
was necessary in former years.
