OF $50 VIII be closed tomorrow night
with meetings in every county. The
big cities will have dozens of meetings
and there will be literally hundreds
held throughout the State. The Demo-
cratic onslaught, engineered by WASH
ington placeholders and carried out by
Southern congressman and officials
from south of the Maryland line. has
publicans because it has shown what
continuation of Democratic adminis-
tratior means.
The Democratic state campaign,
scuttled at the start in order to fur
nish sinews of war for the national
committee, has practically ended and
the wild statements of State Chairman
Guffey, who has emerged from the
shadows again, and the sudden pub
licity given by Democratic organs to
certain candidates on the State ticket
are about the final outbreaks.
The manner in which the Demo-
cratic state ticket has been shunted
on sidings in order to play up the
national committee, in which Demo-
cratic state bosses are figures, has
teen one of the remarkable features
OF the campaign in Pennsylvania. The
names OF the state candidates are
scarcely ever mentioned by the Demo-
cratic writer's and when they do men,
ton them they show lack of familiarity
by giving the wrong initials or not CIV
ing them at all. The newspaper owned
by the Democratic national chairman
to-day styles the Democratic senatorial
nominee "A. Orvis." when he was
christened Ellis l.. Orvis. and it does
not even give the initials or first name
of the Democratic candidate for
Auditor General. Jim Cramer, who
Nf rfal-
the bosses, gets perfunctory mention
and the Democratic candidates for
Congress at large get the same treat
ment as that accorded them by the
designers OF the Democratic banner in
the States capital city-they are left
out.
Republican state candidates, who
received notable greetings last night
in Norristown, DoyelStown, Bristol
and Philadelphia, are being cheered
by the receptions they receive and the
prospects are for fine State majority
The campaign party will divide to-
night Senator Snyder will speak in
Chester and Philadelphia and others
will go to the anthracite region and
TO Adams county. Tomorrow Senator
Snyder will speak in Pottsville and
other candidates will separate, Con-
gressman Crago speaking in Scott
dale, Congressman Garland in Pitts
burgh, Congressman Scott in Altoona
and Candidate Mclaughlin in Phila-
delphia.
William Draper Lewis, who speaks
for Hughes in Philadelphia tonight,
will be the speaker at Altoona with
Scott tomorrow.
A Norristown dispatch says: Re
publicanism looked mighty good in
Montgomery county last night, gauged
by the packed house and enthusiasm
which prevailed at the rally with Phi
lander c. Knox as the principal
speaker and Senator Snyder and Con-
gressman Watson as other speakers.
Knox told of breaks of the promises
and pledges which strew the pathway
of the Wilson administration, of the
depredations and carnage caused in
Mexico by its vacillating and improper
policies upon the American public by
claims of efficiency and beneficence,
including its claims that he kept us
out of war; is a friend of labor and
the friend of children. He declared
the Adamson law does not prevent the
employment of children. Why he
said, there is nothing in the act that
prevents the employment of sucking
babes if it were possible to work
them Concluding, he said: Wilson
signed the Adamson bill with four
pens and we are told that he signed
the child labor bill with emotion. 1
expect he winked the other eye and
said, I've put another one over on
the American people" HE kept us
out of war; The natural question
is, What war? War with what coun-
'ry? What country ever menaced this
country with war? Certainly none
within the past three and a half
years"

I'm spite of the methods being en-
ployed up the State. friends of Con-
grcssman C. II. Rowland. of Clearfield
county. say that he will he reelected
to Congress. Mr.. Rowland is the man
who carried the Twenty-first district
when Secretary of Agriculture Patton
retired from Congress two years ago.
Friends of T. w. tTempleton, Re-
publicen candidate for Congress in
LuZerne county. say that he can win IL
