It is ap- parent, however, that the great masses of the people are coming to learn that there is no political principle involved in local or State elections and that men, not parties, count. We see this truth affirmed in. New York,” where JEROME has won his fight" for re-election without even a: ‘party--name behind him ; we see it in Ohio, where a Secretary of the President openly declared that it was the duty of every honess citizen of the State to vote with the Democrats as against the corrupt order of things under so called Re- publican rule ; and we see it in our loved State, where—thanks be to God—civio virtue has been rekindled and the most powerful political machine known to bis. tory overthrown. The result in Centre crunty aleo carries its lessen and admoni- tion to both the leading parties. When a Democrat can carry 1t by nearly a thou- sand and then the same voters tnin around and give a Republioan for another office a majority of nearly six hundred itis evi- dence of a condition of free thinking and personal preference that rends all parts lines asunder. Those who run may iead is all too well, for there is no mistaking the voice of the people in it demanding the highest sypes of men for office and the party that hopes to be successful in the future mast harken now to the voice. Result im Ohio. "The election of the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio 18 scarcely less sur prising than the result in this State and singularly enough it is attributed to ery much the same canre. In other words it represents a popular protest against the in iquities of a party machine, bardly as in- famous as that which prostituted the offi eal life of Pennsylvania, but bad enough to arouse the public conrcience and influence the civic pride of the people to action. The pendalom which has been swinging in the wrong direction has changed its motion. The Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio ix a man of the highest respectabil- ity and unquestioned personal probity. His private life is faultless, if not ideal, and as has heen said frequently of J. LEE PLUM- MER during the campaign his domestic vir- tues comwand respect. Bus like Mr.PLUM- MER he had through weakness permitted himself to become the instrument of a ma- chine in it8 atrocious assaults upon public morals and popular rights and he has been smitten with the force of pent up wrath. His offense was in that he contributed to rather than perpetrated crimes against the public. The result in the two great States is an admonition to the leaders of political par- ties that in future proper respect must be paid to decent public sentiment and due regard given to the obligations of public morals. It is not a bad sign, either,or ove to be regretted. While the mirror of de- cency is held vp before the public gervants of the people there isnt likely to be the open distegad or moral obligation which has been the rule of the machines of Penu- sylvania and Ohio, ucw happily things of the past. -gidered by -iteell: this 4s-comparatively-vo-| Lessons of the Election. At this writing, Wednesday morning, an intelligent analysis of the vote is impossi- ble though the lessons of the election are’ clearly defined aud the causes of the result easily conjectured. WILLIAM, H. BERRY, she Democratic nominee and the candidate of the people for State Treasorer, has been elected by an overwhelming majority. Con- important. That, is to say the office is practically without patronage or political prestige. But in the result the greatest fountain of gfaft and consequently the most vast source of power has not only heen taken away from the Machine, but absolutely eliminated from the political equation. Possibly she splendid politieal eruption in Philadelphia was the primary cause of what may be justly designated as a politi- cal revolution in the State. The people had been suffering for years from the ills which necessarily flow from political venal- ity. But they were surprisingly pa‘ient and might have endared for some time to onme, if the climax of iniquity hadn’t been t ouched in the chief city of the Common- wealth. It is gratifying, however, to know that when the conscience of the. public was aroused and the civic pride of the people awakened, the effect was felt in every sec- sion and throughout the length and breadth of Pennsylvania. The defeat of the Machine, moreover, promises, if it doesn’t guarantee, houest elections in the future and that is probably the most valuable feature of the triumph. For years this State bas been goveined by officials chosen by fraud. The present Governor has no right to the office which he desecrates and his predecessor was «qnally dependent upon the phantom voters of Philadelphia and Pistsbuig for his com- mission. Bat we will have no more such miscarriages of justice. The elections will be honest hereafter and men honestly chosen have little reason to he coriupt in office. This is above all the reason why we should rejoice over the election of Tues- day. Roosevelt and his Cabinet. During the campaign for the 1ezeneration of Pefusylivania there was neither time nor inclivation to follow the President in bis curious movements. Charity begins at home, the proverb has it. and the same is true of ovher things so that while the gues- tion of greed and graft or honesty and hon- or was before the people of this State we dido’s bother moch with what the Presi- dent was doing outside of the relation of his movements with the affairs of Pennsyl- vania. But now that our own troubles have been composed we may fitly turn at- tention to the President. And he bas been giving us plenty of food for thought during the past three months. He has been exploiting his no- tions in great shape within that time not only in reference to international affaiis bust in regard to domestic conditions, He engineered the treaty of peace which ter- did achievement,and he'‘went up againss?’ minated the Russo-Japanese war, a splen- the yellow fever germs in New Orleans, a most courageous act. "But he did some- thing more daring still. He put muzzles on the members of his cahinet and told ~uch ontspoken fellows as TAFT, RooT and BoN- APARTE that they should hold sheir tongues unless it suited his fancy to pert them to wag. According to information from Washing- ton this muzzling der bas not been re- ceived ve ry aie silenced hy it. Thasis to say, the uewspapers of recent is-ue informs the pub- | lio that at the first session of the cabinet after the order for silence was issued, RooT and BONAPARTE ‘“‘spoke their minds?’ free- ly on the subject and frankly told tbe Pies- ident that bis muzzling order was inpohie to uce a mild phase. But so far as the public knows there has heen no vacancies in the cahinet either. In other words 1he cabinet officers are going to hold their jobs even if they have to hold sheir tongues. Now Get Busy. Now that the election is over suppose we all turn our attention to businers. We are amoung those who believe that the first du- ty of the citizen is to fulfill his civie obli- gations. That is, 1b is infinitely more im- portant thas the merchant shall do is hess 10 secure honest and efficient governments than that he sells a dre-s pattern or even a piano, or a mowing machine. But having dove his best to secure good government and the opportunity for that essential labor baving passed, it is only just and proper thas he should now directs his attention and bend his energies to selling what he has to sell or buying whatever his neigh- bor may bave to «ffer for sale. In other words, now thas the election is over let us all turn our attention to buying and selling or mavufacturing the thiugs which other people want. Happiness iu this world depends laigely npon coutent- went and nothing that we know of contrib- utes 80 muc! toward contentment as com- mercial activity. Tie man who is too busy making or buying or selling articles of common use to meddle in the private affairs of his neighbors is usevally a very contented and excecdingly bappy individ- nal and we can see no reason why every man in this town and county may not be thus occupied. Anyway there is plenty to do in she industiial and commercial world. The WATCHMAN freely offers itself as a vebicle of communjeation between the manufacturers aud the buyers and sellers of commodities. We waut to see every- body in this town get busy and with- out prejudice to civic obligations or public duties we hope that every citizen who has anything to sell ur needs anything that some one else has to sell will make the facts known through the ample and always open columng of this news- paper. Such publication will probably make work and cause weariness hut thas is what makes contentment and happiness, Let us all ges togesher and make busivess trom this time on, Tf yon want an evening of rare en- jryment you want to go and hear the Lyric ulee Club, cue of the inssitute astracsions 1m the cours house, next Wednesday even- ing. Ib will cost you only fifty cents. Kindiy b y the gentlemen whe Tuesday's Election in the Coumy. © We win again! This in a nutshell sizes ‘up the result of Tuesday's’ election, when the Democrats elected their entire ticket with the exception of Ellis Shaffer, for Shenff. Hany J. Jackson, for Regi-- ter, and S. H. Hov, for auditor. And this fact alone is the only drop of bitterness in our cup of joy: and thanks giving. WL Betlefate: the -eleotion--pasved- voff- gmietly enough. There was the usual work of he waid heelers after the floaters hut there were no disturbances. The vote cast in B-llefonte as well as throughout the en- tite county with the possible exception of several precinets on the south side was one of the largest ever polled in an off year and can he artiibuted solely to the fact that county chairman H. 8. Taylor, had per- fected on organization which made a spe- cial ¢ffors to get the vote oat and possibly mme than all, the interest manifested throughout the county in elecring honess, competent men to fill the county offices. And 15 is to he deeply regretted thas enough Demoorats in the gounty cus their tickes to defeat Shaffer and Jackson. The defeat of Jackson is especially de- plorahle as he was one of the “hess men on the ticket but he was snowed under, not so much hy the popularity of his oppouent bus through a combivration of political ex. igencies that seemed to concentrate all their devious ill effects against him, The result was no surprise in the Demo- cratic organization. The only surprise was in the Republican camp where they expect- ed to elects their entire sickes, and on what they based their hopes is hard to conceive. The only reason that Shaffer was defeated for Shenff is because a special effnt was made by the Republicans to elect Kline. even to the sacrificing of all the balance of their ticket. = The Republicans also pat forth unusual effort in Liehalt of Miller and Baviey, for County Commissioners, but be- tween the voters rebelling against any third term precedent and Bailey’s friends working for him alone Miller,who ordinai- ily was regarded as the strongest man, was defeated and Bailey elected as the minority member, The closest vote on the entire ticket was that between John C. Rowe and Cyrus T. Hall, for Recorder, the former winning ous hy the small margin of ten votes. For de- tailed returns of Tuesday’s election see table in another column. The electien of Dr. Frank K.
