TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Republican in close torch, and working in harmony .with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Look and all documents issued by the Committee. Help us achieve a great victory, James S. Sherman, Chairman. V O.

EYES OPENED 10 THE REAL TRUTH

Promise of Erasure of All Party Lines Not To Be Carried Out.

DEMOCRACY HOLDS SWAY

LOCAL REPUBLICAN WHO WAS LURED INTO THE SCHEME SAYS HE HAS BEEN POLITICALLY VACCINATED.

CANT ELIMINATE ROOSEVELT. The attempts of the Democratic press and the Democratic leaders to eliminate Koosevelt from tho approaching campaign provokes u smile. Tho Democratic, press in an attempt to hoodwink Republicans exclaims: "Roosevelt is all right, his ideas are correct, but Congress is not; therefore we must have a change." And pray who is Roosevelt? He is the great American people in this case, lie is all that is good and great in govormental affairs and ho is doing what ho knows the people of this great country want done. It is admitted that it was Roosevelt's great strength of character, his wonderful aggressiveness that played a great part in the victories for good government in Congress during the last session. Rut does anybody suppose that with a Democratic congress at his back he emild do what he did with a Republican congress? The fact remains that n Republican congress did do the work that is credited as good and great during the session recently closed. What Roosevelt did with a Republican congress can be done again. There need be no fear of the result on any issue with a majority tf the Congress good and trustworthy men. and such was a majority of the Republican side. If any sane man can figure out how a Democratic Congress, such as is being prayed for by the leaders

of that party, can accomplish greater or even as good results as a Republican body, backed by the President, he is entitled to an audience by the people. With all the "harping" and ranting that the Democracy is doing; with the bitter denunciations directed against every Republican, credited to Senator liailey and other "good" Democrats; in fact, with all the rot that is being injected into this campaign by the Democratic press, it still remains a fact that Congtvss did achieve much that was mer'orions and that it was n Republican Congress that did it. And aboe all there stands the figure of Roosevelt, the Republican, whom the Democrats are trying to eliminate from this campaign. Just how the Democracy figures that it can defeat Roosevelt this fall is a mystery, for the election of a Democratic Congress would be a slap at the President, anil there is no likliiiood that the masses of the voters are inclined to take a step that would seriously endanger tho work mapped out by Roosevelt in the futuro-

Editor Palladium To begin with, I wish to open my heart and say that I was numbered among the many Republicans who jumped the track and assisted in the overthrow of the Republican administration and the consequent election of Dr. Richard Schillinger as mayor of Richmond. I was lured into the jumping business by persuasive arguments to tho effect that in municipal affairs there should be no line drawn between tho parties,; that every citizen, Democrat or Republican, should stand for good government and let parties appeal in State and National campaigns, but not to permit their influence to have weight in a "little city campaign." It was held out to me, and doubtless to hundreds of other Republicans, that though the Democratic-candidate was a party man, he would be elected by the voters irrespective of party, and that, in consequence he would be given a city administration free from partisan bias. It sounded good. I looked over my right shoulder and found my neighbor there thinking the same way. On the left such a feeling again was in evidence. I voted for Dr. Schillinger. My vote and those of hundreds of other Republicans elected him mayor. I expected, and so did others who did the same thing that I did, that when the new mayor assumed control we would have au example of modern reform government that there would be no party lines drawn and that Republicans as well as Democrats would be chosen indiscriminately, inso far as their political creeds counted. If any man can point out to me wherein the incoming administration is to bo anything but premeditated, simon-pure, rock-ribbed, dyed-in-the-wool Democracy, I wish he would do it right now. Every board is dominated by Democrats, the one Republi

can on each being named because the law requires it. Two other Re

publicans were selected to fill offices one. the engineer. Is there a Democrat in Richmond who has fitted himself for a career as a civil engineer? Never heard of one, did you? That's the reason that Fred Charles, a Republican is retained. There was nothing else to be done. Then there has been a Republican physician seVected for health officer as a worthy successor to Dr. Davis. Well and good. Hut is there a Democratic practicing physician in Richmond? No. Well then that accounts for this appointment. If the mayor elect had desired to show he was deeply appreciative of the Republican votes that elected him and desired to fulfill the promises of some of the men who worked for his victory, he might have alternated the offices between the

two parties. However, I have no i complaint to make. I have learned I the lesson that despite the theories

'.hat are beautiful to listen to, that party feeling exists even in muvMpal affairs. When you elect a Democrat with Republican votes, the victor pays his debt to the members of his own party. Its natural. Rut no more reform on such lines for me. I've been vaccinated politically and Democracy will never "take" on me again. I believe, also, that there are others. A "REFORMER."

HAGERSTOWH WILL HAVE K. OF P. HULL

Committee Decides That the

Lodge is Financially Able To Build It.

HAD STARTED IT BEFORE

WORK ON THE PROPOSED BUILD ING HAD BEGUN BUT IT WAS STOPPED ON ACCOUNT OF BOWMAN'S BANK FAILURE.

Hagcrstown, Aug. 10. (Spl) Over a year ago the Knights of Pythias of this city started the construction of a temple here. A cement block machine was purchased and a large

number of blocks were made as the building was to bo made of this material. The contract was let to Werking and Keagy who had made a good start when the Commercial Dank failed. The lodge having its money deposited in this corporation when it collapsed, was without funds to continue the construction of the building as it was already in debt for some money, and comparing the size of the undertaking with the size of the lodge, the members decided to postpone the construction for an indefinite time. All last summer passed and all winter and nothing was done. But as thirty per cent of their bank account had been paid by J. A. Spekenhier receiver of the defunct bank, late this spring an effort was made to again begin construction. A committee cinsisting of Geo. H. Geisler, S ..I. Pressei; John C. Hart, Ed Mason and Joseph Cramer, was appointed to see what could be done

These men after making a careful ex

amination of the looks of the orgai

zation made the report that the un

dertaking could acain be attempted. A few days ago after collecting money due the lodge ard accepting some contributions from friends they made a financial report to the lodge and as this was satisfactory It was decided that the building should be erected. The building will be located on East Main street opposite Davis' saloon. It will be three stories high, the lodge rooms being at the top, a public hall on the second floor and store rooms at the bottom.
