thanked the workers and said:
L feel certain that Dauphin county

that the Republican ticket with Hon.

of Dauphin, Hon. Edward e. Beidle-
man, will be elected by an over

pole. who had been invited to attend,
was unavoidably detained in Wash
ington. Chairman Horner presented
his letter of regret, in which he
said. after explaining his absence:
More and more it becomes evil
dent that the fundamental principles
of the Republican party must be
maintained If we are to safeguard
our American institutions and secure
the greatest happiness and prosper
ity of our people. There will be diff
ferences of opinion regarding poll
cies and in some cases nonessentials,
but with respect to the things upon
which the structure of the party has
been built-the foundation stones
there cannot be any serious contro-
versy. Please convey to my fellow
Republicans my best wishes and
fluctuations upon the outlook of the
party throughout the country"
Resolutions Passed
Mr.. Pass at this juncture presented
resolutions, which, after reading by
himself, were referred to the COM
mittee on resolutions and afterward
passed unanimously, as follows:
The Dauphin County Republican
Committee, in it's meeting, hereby
declares:
THE Republican party, having al
ways stood for the highest ideals of
government, and having heretofore
rcsolutely upheld our country in the
wars in which we have engaged, has
now planted itself firmly upon basis
of patriotic principles and pledged
itself to support this nation with all
its energy, in the colossal conflict
into which We have been drawn.
The one big thing which demands
the devotion of all people and all
parties Is to win the war. The Re-
publican party came into existence
when the dissolution of this nation
was threatened. 1t has always been
the party of patriotism, and it now
dedicates itself, it's energies and its
influence to the support of the coun-
try until a peace with victory, and
not peace by compromise, has been
won.
I'VE pledge the Republicans of
Dauphin county to a continuance of
their full share of patriotic aid and
assistance in this great conflict for
liberty, democracy and humanity.
We deplore that the party in power
i'll 1914 and 1915 refused to prepare
for war, because the preparation, if
then made, would have saved billions
of dollars and thousands of lives of
American men.
THE Republicans have nominated
candidates of such unquestioned in
tegrity and fitness for the several
offices to be filled at the November
election, that we not only heartily
pledge our united support to them,
but we commend all of them to the
voters of this county.
Support For Sproul s--
THE Republican party offers as
the candidate for governor the Hon.
orable William c. Sproul, of Della
ware county, man of the highest
ideals, the dean of the State Senate,
trained in legislative affairs, famil-
lar with the states needs, and
equipped with large and successful
business experience.
Never has any party offered as
candidate for governor of this Com
monwealth one whom previous expe-
rience has so fully and ably equipped
to discharge the duties of that high
office, and for whom the people may
vote in the full confidence that his
administration will be faithful to
the interests of the state, and reflect
honor upon himself and upon the
party which he represents.
Senator Bcidleman Endorsed
We have justifiable pride In the
candidacy of the Honorable Edward
e. Beidleman, of this county. We
know him to be man of ability, in
tegrity and experience. His iegisla-
tive service in the House of Repre-
sentatives and the Senate, in which
he has always stood for the best
interests of his state, and the prfn-
ciples of his party, and his extended
practice as a lawyer, especially fit
him for the duties of the office of
lieutenant governor.
The Honorable James +. Wood
ward, of Allegheny county, has had
many years of experience as a MEM
Der of the Legislature and has been
for number of terms the chairman
of the very important Committee on
Appropriations, in which capacity he
has familiarized himself with the
needs and resources of the state.
His candidacy should, therefore, COM
mend itself to the citizens of this
county.
The candidates for congressman
at-Large, Messrs. Burke, CTago, Gar
land and Walters, are men of affairs
in their respective communities.
with legislative and congressional
experience, familiar with national
affairs and will serve this Common
wealth and the nation in the halls
of Congress with honor and distinc-
ton.
Honorable William D. Porter, now
a judge of the Superior Court, is a
candidate for reelection. He has
filled this high and important office
with distinction. He is an able and
upright judge and he should be
unanimously returned,to serve on the
Court of which he has been such an
important member.
Although he is a candidate upon
nonpartisan ticket, his eminent
service justifies the endorsement and
support of the Republicans of this
Commonwealth.

has faithfully, ably and consistently
represented this Congressional Dis

States, is a candidate for reelection
