The Democratic party never in its long and iustrous history appealed to the people with greater reason than it does this year. Its candidates are admirable in every ‘respect. ARTHUR G. DEWALT, the nominee [for Auditor General,is a lawyer of splendid ability and the highest character. He has not been much in public life for the reason that he has always preferred the private -| station and after serving a term as district attorney of Lehigh county he gave his un- divided attention to the practice of his pro- fession until a year ago,when he was nomi- pated by a practically unanimous vote for the State -Senate in whieh body he soon won distinction as a legal reasoner. With his first speech on the floor he took rank as among the ablest speakers in the body. JoEL G. HILL, the candidate of the party for State Treasurer, has his training in busi- ness pursuits. A native of New York State he came to Pennsylvania with bis parents, in infancy and located in Wayne, county where he bas since’ resided except daring the period between 1863 and the close of the civil war when his residence was on the front line of the Union army and his employment the most bazardous service in defense of his country. He has served two terms in the office of County Commissioner and in 1899 was elected Associate Judge of the county, receiving the largest vote of any candidate on the ticket. Last year he was elected to the State Senate by a large majority and in that body was conspicuous by his fidelity to the interests of the peo- ple. Our candidates for Judge of the Superior court are worthy associates on the ticket of the gentlemen above named. CALVIN RAYBURN has served a term on the Com- mon Pleas bench in his native county, Armstrong, with the higbest distinction. Daring the ten years of his service he gave entire satisfaction to the public, but becanse of his fidelity to duty he was fought with extraordinary energy after he had been unanimously nominated for re-election. His associate on the judicial ticket, JOAN A. WARD, Esq. ‘is one of the leading young members of the Philadelphia bar. He is a lawyer of profound learning and ability and a citizen of the highest char- acter. Of judicial temperament he has long been regarded as eligible for the bench. With such a ticket the Democrats can come to the people with absolute confidence reasons, moreover; why the-polisieal ma- year. The Republican machine is entirely | discredited. . It has betrayed: every pledge and violated public confidence in every but as a reward for political perfidy and devotion to the bosses. Under such circum- stances there canbe no two opinions as to the duty of good citizenship. The rescue of the State from the party pirates is the cratic ticket will achieve that result. Get Out the Vote, Get out the vote. There are enough Demooiats in Pennsylvania to elect the proselyting is ended. Voters have made up their minds how they will vote, it they vote at all, except such in the cities as are purchasable. But there are voters in ev- ery election district who have not deter- mined to go to the polls. There are vari- ous reasons for'this. Some think it is of no use. ‘Others protest that it is too much trouble. - But if a systematic and energétia canvass is made on election day many, if not all of those careless voters could be brought out. Spurring up has a splendid’ effect, an “appeal to civic pride is po- tent. Every Democrat in. Pennsylvania ought to take upon himself the duty of urging his neighbor to vote. The presidential election next year.is practically certain to result in a Democratic victory. Those who contributed to success this year will deserve the party favors then. The party leaders will keep in mind those who deserve to be | remembered. . The rewards will go where | they belong. That being the case there is a reason for ‘activity this year. Every Democratic voter should strive for the ree- ognition which faithful service will bring. It they do that the success of the Democrat. ic ticket is as dertain as that the sun will set on election day. The young Democrats of she county should be especially active and vigilant. The honor of victory and the value of tri- umph will be ‘for them if they deserve the favor. They, are strong, active and can en- dure the labor, | No young Democrat should be satisfied until every vote in his election district has ‘been polled. The older men like to see the younger ones active. It isa sign of zeal and fidelity and attracts favor- able attention in politics. ‘Nobody cares to have drones about him.

The last words in a campaign are always the most serious and they ought to be the most sincere. There is nothing to he gain- ed at'such a time by misrepresentation. or falsification. When the next issue of the WATCHMAN reaches its destination the election will be decided. and the verdict rendered. It would be folly, therefore, for us to claim impossible things now. Penn- sylvania is a Republican State by a large majority. We have said ‘hitherto, and we repeat to-day, that the Democratic nomi- nees for the several offices to [be filled are -worthy men and that their election would conserve the best interests of the public. But we do not claim their election excepb on the hypothesis that every Democrat votes. Even then we couldn’t win unless a vast number of Republicans failed to vote. The most important office to be filled thie year is that of Auditor General. The Auditor General is virtually the arbiter of the relations between the corporations and the people. He levies the taxes on the corporations and determines the propor. tion which they shall pay and the ratio which shall fall upon the people. That being true, and no rational man will dis- pute it, we submit that at least occasional- ly, a friend of the people be installed in that office. For so long a time almost that ‘‘the memory of man runs not to the con- trary,’’ the occupant of that office has been a creature of the corporations. It is time that the people should have a chance to be heard. This year the Democrats have nominated a representative of the people in the person of ARTHUR G. DEWALT. The Republicans have named the most subservient creature of the corporations who has ever filled the office, Senator WIL- LIAM P. SNYDER. While we don’t claim that Pennsylva- nia is Democratic we do say in the sober and thoughtful moments of the close of the campaign that with a reasonably full vote the Democratic candidate for Auditor Gen- ‘eral can and will be elected, and we say that such a result would be mors a triumph of the people, as against the corporations and favored olasses, than the election of a President of and for the people. We say this because the office is closer to the people and more nearly related to their homes and firesides. Therefore we would implore every Democratin Cenire county to come to the polls next Tuesday and vote and ask their-support. There are abundant | the entire Democratic ticket. With the defection against WILniAM P. SNYDER in | Jority in the'Staté should - be reversed: this {the Republican ranks such a. vote will} this and every other State!’ secure the election of ARTHUR G. DEWALT. If it achieves nothing else that: wille be compensation enough. : i, is some very interesting tead- ing on state issues and the new ballot, that is to be voted next Tuesday, on page 2 of this issue that every tax-payer ‘should ‘read. The Steel Trust Bunco Game. The most interesting disclosures of re- cent years are those in relation to the ship building trust, in which Mr. SCHWAB was A more complete bunco game was never organized by profes- sional crooks. ‘It has been shown by the testimony of those concerned that the en- tetprise was a deliberate swindle, organiz- ed for the purpose of fraud,and maintained only long enough to enable Mr. SCHWAB to gain a vast fortune and put three or four millions of dollars into the pockets of Mr. J. PIERPONT MORGAN and his partners. Even. the associates of those gentlemen in the crime were fleeced. We have, heretofore, referred to the wat- ering of $300,000 worth of Bethlehem Steel and Iron company stock until it had been swelled to the proportions of $30,000,000, ‘but according to the evidence brought out in the investigation that wasn’t the worst of it. The managers of the enterprise agreed to hold back from the market all the stock until SCHWAB and MORGAN bad disposed of theirs’ at. nearly par after which the vast amount thus beld in reserve was thrown into the teeth of the public, which caused an enormous slump ‘in the | value, with the result that those who pur- | chased from SCHWAB and MORGAN lost nearly the foll amonut of their invest- ment. | The average bunco steerer ‘begniles some innocent backwoodsman into the purchase of counterfeit money or deludes him into a game in which he is mercilessly robbed. But when he is caught be is tiied, convict: ed and sentenced to a long term of impris- onment, as he ought to he. But bunco steerers of the SCHWAB and MORGAN type soffer no such penalties. They are simply canonized as ‘‘Captains of Industry,’’ or “Leaders in Finance’’and are encouraged to persevere in their benevolent enterprises. But we tan see no material difference _be- tween the methods of the average operator and that of SCHWAB and MORGAN. “The election will be held next Tues day.

Success bas come to so many people and to so many enterprises and undertakings in Centre oounty in time past that perhaps we, as a people, now overestimate our abil- ity. to make anything go and lose sight of the fact that other places and people, through indefatigable perseverance and progressiveness, are pressing us hard for first place in things that have been ours naturally or: by assumption, rather shan really ‘earned.’ Years’ ago we had a county fair which everyone attended and where everyone tried for first honors in displaying good ex- hibits. Gradually interest waned, for we are a county people easily sated and always desirous of something new, until finally the fair was abandoned and one of the fin- est natural amphitheatres in the country was given over to beconie a slagdump. Then we regretted and exclaimed, ‘If we only bad a Fair !"” ' Four years ago a new asso- ciation was formed with the expectation of wifining back and adding to our pristine glory. Money and efforts were spent lav- ishly and although it is inmipossible to ever again have grounds desirable as our former ones, the best site available was secured and improved until it compares favorably with any in the State. Fortune has lav- ished tears rather than smiles, as it always bas rained, but weather cannot make or un- make a fair. It is only an accompani- ment to the enthusiasm and interest of ex- hibitors and patrons. The exhibits were “better this year than for any preceding one, but not what our great county should be satisfied with. Ashamed we surely would be to have an outsider judge of our. re- ‘sources and talents by our exhibitions here the past three years. It is no presumption to say we are a great county, but it would carry greater conviction if proven. If farmer, merchant, artisan, artist, wonld present proof of this superiority of skill what a fair we would have ! In contrast to our pride and loyalty is that of Columbia county to the fair held two weeks ago in Bloomsburg. This has been an annual celebration there for forty- nine years and each year gets higger and better. All manufactories in Bloomsburg are plosed for one or swo days and business practically suspended not only there but in adjacent towns while everyone goes to the great Bloomsburg Fair—for it is great—to hear the bands. the orchestra, the hurdy gurdy and, everything else that oan, play ‘and see all of the numberless attractions, |. native and foreign, ae competition is not |. to.

Exhibits of all sorts are in profusion and ‘excellence beyond description—embroi- -deries, laces, drawn work, drawings and ‘paintings alone ‘well worth a trip there. ‘Two hundred sheep, one hundred hogs eto. ! Either Columbia county bas indus- ‘sty, talent and enthusiaem to far excel Centre county or is more generous in wish- ing to give the public the: bevefit of it. It would be of inestimable value to every cit- izen in this county to see what other coun- ties call a fair ! Oursis an embryo one as yes, bust even forty-nine years will not make it a success unless we co-operate in gener- ous patronage and. desire to show what great things we can do in agriculture, stock raising, industries and fine arts.
