WiIliamsport, Pottsville, Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia, Lancaster and other
points. that the sentiment in those
localities is strongly in favor OF the
Senator and that he will receive big
majorities in all those places. His
election Is assured. 1t is our belief
that he will run with the head OF his
ticket, Senator SprouL and will pile
up a majority that will be a great
qualification to himself and his many
friends.
This being true II becomes highly
important that Senator Beidleman's 5
own home folks should carry Harris
burg and Daupi1in county for him
by a vote that will be proportionate-
ly larger than that Of other districts
where he is less well known. There
is no need to so into the Senator's
record at this time. That is an open
book. Everybody knows how well
he stood in the House when he served
the city as a representative, and his
record in the Senate won for him the
office of president pro TEN. the last
term. Let US get together, then, and
show by our votes that we approve
him and that we at home want to see
him made the presiding officer of the
Senate for the next four years. There
is no man in the state better fitted
by experience and training for the
lieutenant governorship than Sena-
tor Beidleman. His two terms in the
his two terms in the
Senate and his one term as presiding
officer pro tempore in the Senate lead
logically to the lieutenant governors
chair and the Republicans of the
state showed their wisdom by nom-
mating him. II remains for his own
home folks to endorse that nomina
tion election day and since they carried
every voting district in city and
county for him at the primaries, they
may be depended upon TO give him
an overwhelming vote next Tuesday.
