The Twelfth ward Democrats held a storm session, last night. The meeting was presided over Dy Augustus Laucks, while, in the absence of the regular secretary, Charles L. Moll recorded the minutes.

After several of the members had expressed their views on the question of personal registration, Andrew Flem ming accused Chairman Laucks of neglecting his duty in not having called a. meeting of the executive committee for the purpose of looking over the matter of registration and other affairs of the ward. After being assailed by Mr. Flem niing, Mr. Laucks took the floor and answered him In a very personal manner.

Immediately following this affair, Herbert Moyer addressed the meeting and accused all the officers of the ward with neglecting their duties as office holders and made a motion that a special meeting be held of all the officers of the ward, including councilmen, school controllers and the precinct officers. The motion was carried and the chairman named Tuesday, Oct. 12, as the date of the meeting. Dr. Wagner, candidate for coroner, thanked the voters of the ward for having supported him at the recent primary election, and asked the organization to stand by the entire ticket.

Charles Moll, former city controller, addressed the meeting on' the subject of registration. He said that the party has an excellent chance to elect at least one of the state candidates, and he thought it would be advisable to have the executive committee get together and see if they could not get a few volunteer pollmen, in view of the fact that there will be no assistance from the city executive or the county standing committees. Ho further stated that one volunteer poll man is worth more than 10 paid ones. RATES FOR LEAGUERS.

I have a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, failing memory and lame back, brought, on by excesses, unnatural drains or the follies of youth, that has cured so many men without any additional' help or medicine that I think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy.

Will Be Important Factors In Rolling Up a Big Republican Majority. Special Correspondence.

Philadelphia, Oct 5. Within the last few days the so called reform movement in this city has been given a serious setback and there is now no doubt that the entire. Republican ticket will be elected by a large majority. The business and professional men of the community have entered Into the campaign and have lined up solidly for the Republican candidates. Some of the, most representative merchants and manufacturers hava taken the lead in a movement started by the Republican Business Men's association and are calling upon all wha desire honest and efficient administration of affairs to support the Republican nominees.

Not only will they send out a special appeal to Philadelphians to vote for these candidates, but they are planning for an immense masj meting, at which prominent men wil! make addresses. Following the action of the members of this association, there was a meeting of members of the bar, tha largest meeting of the kind ever heH in this city, at which resolutions wera adopted, strongly Indorsing Samuel P. Rotan, the Republican incumbent, for re election as district attorney. Over one thousand lawyers have signed ar Indorsement of Mr. Rotan.

Rotan's Election Conceded. The effect of the aggressive attitude of the business men and the was shown in the editorial ut terances of the Independent newspa pers, which have all indorsed the candidacy of Mr. Rotan. The only newspapers backing Gibboney, who Is Mr. Rotan's apponent, are the Wanamaker 'newspapers, with which his political fortunes ixave been linked ever since be entered the game.

The large registration of voters lf explained by the fact that the support ers of the Republican nominees have beon unusually active in the several wards and have succeeded in getting a larger number of stalwart Republl can voters registered than at any tim( sinca the registration law went inta effect. While the Gibboney men are making claims of strength upon the returns from the registration, they are noi based upon facts and are part of a campaign of misrepresentation that has been under way since the primaries were held. Mr. Rotan's public call upon the men whs are charging election frauds: to submit their evidence that the ballot boxes might be opened, has not been answered, and that issue ha3 ceased to be a factor in the campaign The candidates on the state ticke have been receiving ovations wherever they have gone. They spent last week In the northeastern tier and in Mifflin, Union and Snyder counties.

They are booked for the opening rally of the campaign In this city tonight and tomorrow night they are invited to attend the reception to be tendereo Senator Penrose by the Workingmen's Protective Tariff League. Party Lines Are Drawn. The opposition to the Republican nominees in the state campaign Is absolutely confined to the old time Dcm ocracy. The lines are sharply drawn' and Republicans and Democrats are rallying about the standards of their respective parties. There is not a trace of factionalism within the Republican organization.

The lines are unbroken and the stalwart Republican hosts will march to the polls in solid phalanx on Nov. 2 and vote the full party ticket. Judge Robert yon Moschzisker, nominee for justice of the supreme court; Senator A. E. Sisson, candidate for auditor geneml, and former Senator Jeremiah A.

Stober, the party's choice for state treasurer, are all men of high standing and command the respect of all who know them. While the election of all of them Is conceded, there Is a demand fron? those who have studied the situatior I from a broad standpoint for the exer cise of special vigilance to guard against the dangers of over confidence or Indifference in the matter of getting out the party, vote. While this is what ordinarily would be classed as "an off year," it is, in fact, a very important year in the political history of Pennsylvania, With the tariff revisionists already epening their campaign to carry a majority of the next congress, even if it Ehall be necessary to do so with the aid of Democratic it behooves Republicans, who believe that the present tariff Js going to greatly benefit all branches of industry', to by their votes enter an early protest against any and all schemes to reopen the tariff discussion, with the destruction of business Interest that would IDevuaD; i'ihuw. A PIECE OF It is well for the country that Taft Is not a rough rider. But one Is a sho't slghted critic who judges the purpose merely by the methods.
