Fifteen ladies met at the home of .Mrs. John Smyth Monday evening April HI, for the purpose of organiz ing a club to attend to civic work in the town, to be known as The Vil lage Improvement Society. Several other ladies sent word of their inten tion and pleasure to join the Society and aid in the work. The following ladies were elected officers: Mrs. F. J. Keeler, Pres.; Mrs. M. C.

Stage driver Sc.hanahacher was unable to make his daily trip with the mails on Thursday of last week owing to the impassable condition of the roads between Laporte and Forksville. The warm weather of this week has had the effect of bringing the early vegetation out of the ground. The ground having been but little effected by the frost, is in good shape for digging up and the amateur gardtiers are getting in readiness for their annual back breaking jobs. The executive committee of the newly organized Village Improve ment Society met Tuesday evening | at the home of Mrs. J.

All those who come to join in the work will please bring with them picks, shovels etc., a* will be needed. Everv effort put I forth in the way of assistance will be most gratefully remembered by ail [members of the society. Always in the lead to offer n retn ! tnly when conditions demand its 11 editorials to become critical, comes 11 the Wilkes-Barre Recortl with an I article of much significance, and one that appeals directly to all fair mind ; { ed Republicans of honest purposes j I and desires for the welfare of the j party. The Republlcanh of this state demands a candidate equal to 1 the Roosevelt standard or success at I the polls next fall can not be hoped | for. Following is the Record's time | ly remarks: 'I "A contingency has been reached in the Republican party of Pennsyl vania, when thoughtful adherents of that organization realizes more fully than at any former period in its history, that unless higher standards i of etticieuced and integrity prevail, the control of the State government will pass out of the hands of the party that has been in power almost continuously since 1861, a period of more than forty years. In view of ' the defeat sustained by the Republi can party at the late State election. . a defeat administered hy the better class of Republicans, it is natural that the more thoughtful adherents ' of the party should turn away from those leaders who have proven faith less to the people, and turn to those who in public life have remained I true, and in private life have been above suspicion. Pennsylvania us are about to enter upon the campaign of 190 C, when a governor, lieutenant governor, mem. hers of congress, members of th legislature, and minor Slate officers, are to be elected. Naturally the office of governor of this great Com monwealth has already become the . subject of great solicitude. The Re publican party has within itself the power to regain the confidence of the masses, and command the support of a vast majority of the people, hut in order to do this, it must place on its i State ticket men of clean record in . public life, of known ability and of high character in private life. Men of that class are to be had. In this article we purpose to con sider only the Republican candidacy for governor. The Republicans of Northeastern Pennsylvania arc pre pared in | resent the kind of man the great masses of Republicanism 1 throughout the State are demanding —the kind of man that must be nom inated if the Republican party is to remain in power.in theexecutivi de , partment of the State government. That man is Col. Louis A. Watres of Lackawanna county. The Record is in position to state, upon the authority,of Col. Watres's nearest friends, that he will permit his adherents to make tin earnest, determined and persistent tight for iiis nomination by lite Republican State convention. AS TO 1118 I'l llt.tC RECORD. I Louis A.Wairi't*-nerved two terms in tlie j State Senate, being elected in the Twen- I tietli ilistiiet at a time when it was over < whelmingly Democratic. Alter that lie | was elected lieutenant governor by a j innjoritv of more than 23,000 when the ' j candidate for governor was deteated by more than 17,000. That election demon strated th'- * orilidt iice of the people in the honor and integrity ot Louis A. Watres alter he had served eight years in the 1 Senate, lie retired Irom the office of lieutenant governor with the increased respect ot his tellow citizens ot Pennsyl vania. Four years ago * 'ol. Watres was a can didate for the gubernatorial nomination nomination, nnd then, as always, he stood tor the identical reforms the people <>r this <'ominonwealtli so emphatically declared lor at the last election. The peculiar complications in the party at c'i.-11 time made his nomination impossible iinl when he realized this lie retired from | the eonlesl. Col. W aires, like tens of thousand* ol other Pennsylvania Republicans, believes in party organization, but he has always urgi d that the party organization keep within the limits of honestv and sound | l iiblii: policy. The imperatively demand jed relbnns tor which a special session ol i the legislature has been railed have for i vears had the support of Col. Watres. jSo thorough n the confidence in him of i his lellow citizens of Lackawanna County jih.it at a meeting ot the board o! trt de of I Seranlon he was appointed as a member lof the joint committee on election code i I'm the St ite ol Pennsylvania to frame a bill providing lor personal registration ! ami other reforms to be presented to the!

What he his today he has ii Iwa vs bi'en, lie is the same kind of H public.in Roosevelt, Root and I all. Willi such a man at the head ol the State government for tour years, this srand old Commonwealth would be redeemed ' and restored to its proper place among the honestly governed States of (lie Americar Union. j F.ouis A. Wj\tri>n enibodien in himself ; the elements ilmt constitute the model ■ custodian of a public trust in tliis republic. I He if a man of courage, of stead fast nen* I to duty, of loyally to principle. The Record pledges to him its nioet earnest support in this battle for the Republican nomination tor governor, and believes that the Republican masses ol the great northeastern section ol the <Commonwealth will send a solid Watres delegation to the ensuing State conven tion. With his name at the head ol the State ticket, we would again have a unit ed Republican party in Pennsylvania and a majority of hundreds of thousands at the election next November. Louis A. Watres is the man for the present emergency. ■ V!: ;■ Notice to the Public.
