have quit their party in disgust and
intend to express their opinion at
the polls.
1t has been apparent lately that
the remnant of the once powerful
Democratic organization in this city
Is trying to make a tumult in the
market place to hide it's own sor-
rowful state and much that has been
cast upon the breezes has a familiar
ring. In fact, some of the state
ments are not only shop worn, but
date back about sixteen or seventeen
years. Originality seems to have
been lost when the Dauphin Democ-
racy hit the toboggan. Mr.. Baker
says in his statement:
1T should be clear to every Re-
publican that the contest this year
| is skirmish in anticipation of the
great battle of 1920. Just in pro-
portion as the units of the Republi-
can organization throughout the
| country are united and earnest in
their advocacy of Republican prin-
ciples and their support of Republi-
can candidates will the greater
army fighting under the banner of
the party be strengthened for the
so every Republican in Dauphin
county should stand shoulder to
shoulder with the great host that is
preparing to restore the party of
Lincoln and Grant and Mckinley
and Roosevelt to its proper place
| of power in the administration of
| the countrys affairs.
Naturally the common enemy
| will endeavor to weaken the organi-
zation by raiding party lines and
scattering the seeds of dissension
through cunning propaganda de-
signed to demoralize Republican
workers in the city and county. Only
in this way can the Democratic op-
position hope to make even a dent
in the strong alignment Of Republi-
cans.
''It is my opinion that the can
didates supported by the Republi-
| can city and county organizations
will be nominated by large majori-
ties. hen who have been allied
with the Democratic party are at
tempting to dictate Republican can
didates and policies, but it may be
safely assumed that their efforts
| will be futile inasmuch as RepubI-
cans this year are so generally de-
termined to rally to the party col
ors that the old scheme of the Vot-
ers of one party raiding the prl-
mary of another will utterly fail.
at is not a secret that hundreds
of sane Democrats have registered
this wear as Republicans because
