Prominent Speakers Discuss Cam-
paign Issues,
There may have heen many political
meetings held in Bellefonte which weremore
largely attended than that in the opera
house on Wednesday night in the interest |
of John G. Harman's candidacy for the
State Treasaryship, but there has never
been one in which the entire audience to a
man betrayed such deep and whole-souled
interest. During the two bourse aod a half
in which Senator Arthur C. Dewalt, of |
Allentown ; State Treasurer W. H. Berry,
and the candidate himself, John G. Har-
man, of Bloomsburg, discussed the true
issues of the campaign not a man ieft the
house who was not compelled to go, while
the order at all times was the best and
moss attentive,
There were few demonstiations of ap-
plause, it is true, but there was that air of
deep earnestness which showed only too
plainly that the andience considered the
questions under discussion to be of so
serious a nature that applause was really
out of place avd uvealled for.
The meeting was called to order prompt-
ly at eight o'clock hy county obairman N.
B. Spangler and permanently orgarized by
electing Col. D. F. Fortney chaiiman, a
list of twenty-four prominent Demoorats
from all over the county were named as
vice presidents with the nsval secretaries,
etc. Before the speech making began
commissioners’ olerk James Corl ivtro-
duced ajresolution changing the party roles
80 as to}jprovide for the election of the
county chairman at the regular spring
election in order to conform with the pri-
mary lawfpassed in February, 1906. The
resolution was adopted and will be wade
an amendment to the paity rules. Iva
few brief remarks Col. Fortney then intro-
daced as the first speaker of the evening
5 nator Dewady,,
The Senator spoke for over an hoor aud
his address was not only replete with
good arguments in the interest of Har-
man’s oandidacy but was steeped with
cioguence. In starting out hestated as a
fao: that there was very little polities in
this campaign. That he was not asking
the votes of the people for John G.Harman
because he was a Demcorat but because the
principles he represent:d made him the
safest man to put in #0 respovsible a posi-
tion. As to the Republican candidate,
Jobo O. Sheatz, he had nos a word to say
against him personally, but he was out-
spoken in declaring that be knew for a po-
sitive fact that be bad heen nominated by
the machine, that be was now being sop-
ported by the machine even though he had
made a big ado about casting loose from
his old moorings, and it was only reason-
able to suppose thas if elected, Le wonld be
domivated by the machine. And then is
it any more reasonable to suppose that he
would be any better than Harris and
Matbues, the Republican officials who pre-
sededy Berry, They were both men of an-
questioved honesty and integrity when
elected bus ounce in office and the gang rule
was too strong for them to resist. Bot
elect Harman and the people can be assur-
ed of another jost as faithful watchdog
over the State Treasury as they have had
in William H. Berry. Senator Dewalt told
plain facts to support every statement he
made, facts which cannot be contradicted,
either.
State Treasurer Berry was the second
speaker of tbe evening and he told in a
straight forward way some of the facts re-
garding the capitol of grafs swindle. Told
them infa modest unassuming way, without
any attempt at boasting of the prominent
part be played in uncovering the big steal,
but told{them in a way that carried con-
viotion to the minds of his hearers that it
would notibe safe to again jeopardize the
moneys of she State as they were prior to
Berry's election.
John[G. Harman, staunch young Demo-
orat from Columbia county, was the last
speaker of the evening and the audience
was well repaid for waiting to bear him.
His speech was brilliant as well as con-
vincing and bis plain story of the issues of
the campaign and his pledges for carrying
on thejgood] work begun by Mr. Berry
eighteen months ago were listened $0 most
earnestly by every man present.
It was well on toward eleven o'clock
when the meeting finally adjourned and
then it appeared as if the people were loath
$0 leave ; an evidence that they were pon.
dering very deeply over what they had
been told. And this fact augurs well for
the success of Harman, as the audience
was nos made up of all Demdorass by any
means,
i
Whe Was the Sesatos?
In Clearfield on Tuesday evening Seva-
tor DEWALT in his speecn declared that a
certain United States Senator in Pennsyl-
vania had been paid $15,000 hy one of the
Evtros firms which secured a large som of movey |
| for capitol furnishiugs. When the Senator
was in Bellefonte on Wednesday evening
"he was asked hy a WATCHMAN representa-
tive regarding the above »tatement, snd be
reiterated its trathfulnesss.
He went further, and said that while the
man who received the money was a Sena-
tor of the United Scates, that it was not
| Senator KNOX. Alea that the money was
! paid to him by check and was from the
i Cassell Manalactarning company.
This, the Senator declared, was shown
by docnmentary evidence presented before
| the Capitol Investigating Commission, and
there was nothing so show that she Sena
' tor in question had given any service in
| return therefore,
| “One thing | do kuow,” said Senator
DEWALT, “‘and that i= that be did not carry
a hod or perform any other kind of manual
labor far it. And, further than thas, |
know he could have done vpothing so en- |
| title him to the money."
| This i only another instance of the gi-
| gantic propensities of the gang, even from
the highest to the lowest, and is another
argument against the election of JOHN O
| BHEATZ as State Treasarer and iu favor of
JoHN G. HARMAN.
ADDITIONAL LOCALS.
THE BEAUTY DOCTOR. —The offering at
Garmane next Monday, October 28:h, will
be Fred E. Wright's latest musical farci-
cal comedy ‘‘The Beauty Docter.”” The
idea of the authors is a genial satire set (0
musio, on the prevailing beauty culture
fad and its evolution is of such a comedy
nature as would probably make ‘‘Prof.”
Caiseerato, the original beaaty expert,
scrcam in French, for the opportanity for
fan making so obvious in the theme has
pot heen over looked hy those responsible
for the book of ‘“The Beauty Doctor’’ and
the resalt is a performance full of kalideo-
scopic fan set iva musical environments of
uo wean quality.
The plot of ‘“The Beanty Doctor’ re-
volves around a feminine expert in the art
of changing faces, by the love escapades of
a prima donoa who is sought by two old
men. Solomen Cohen, a Jew hypnotist,
-| forms a partnership with the beanty char-
latan and adds the ocoult to the realism of
mwoldiug new faces, by changing the minds
of lovers, and mixing things up generally,
which is most ¢ffectnally done to the ac-
companiment of much laughter from the
audience. At the final matters are straight
ened out by the contrite beauty doctor
aided by the repentant Jew hypnotist and
each one gets his of her deserts. During
the progress of this ‘*plot’’ music and dane
ing ron Fiot, special numbers of magnitude
are in evidence, while the topical song, the
sextette the ballads and other musical
gymuastics are indalged in galore “My
Littl» Mimi San’’ “‘Listen to the Ringing
of the Bells", ‘My Flower of the South’,
“Good-Bye Jennie Joves’' is a genuine
success, ‘Come Down Mr. Man in the
Moon’ is a semi-sentimental ballad of con-
siderable musical worth and hound to be
popular and many davces and other fea:
tures make ‘‘The Beauty Doctor’ a strong
musical laughing show,

STUDENT PASTOR FOR STATE COLLEGE.—
Oue of the principal things done at the
anonal meeting of the Pennsylvania Synod
of the Presbyterian church, in session in
Philaaelphia on Monday, was the appoint-
ment of a committee to raise a fund of one
thousand dollars for the purpose of placing
and supporting © student pastor at The
Pennsylvania State College. This action
was taken aftera most earnest plea by
Gen. James A. Beaver, acting president of
the institntion. Iv urging that Synod take
this action Gen. Beaver said that he was
not putting in a plea for the Presbyterian
church of State College. That church wae
amply able to take care of itself, but it was
not anle to care for the twelve hundred
students now in attendance at the College
and the institution was very mach in need
of a preacher. The field of labor is large
enough todemand the attention of the
church in general. Oo the haxis of Gen.
Beaver’s plea Synod appoioted the com-
mittee above referred to, whose duty is
will be to raise a fund of $1,000, indepen:
dent of the Houtingdon Presbytery or the
general sustentation committee.

On Monday last it was decidedly cold in
this part of the valley, real winter like.
John Houser has made quite an addition
to his residence, also erected a new barn, both
add greatly to the neighborhood.
The A. B. C. club,an organization of young,
ladies of the village, after an adjournment
over summer resumed for the winter cam-
paign on Friday last.
Rev. G. W. Mclinay has purchased quite a
high spirited horse, a fine-looking animal,
and no doubt will make time on the road.
The reverend gentleman is evidently tired of
slow coaches.
That live merchant, C. P. Long, shipped
2000 bushels of apples last week, and will

Mr. Long will buy all the apples that are

Miss Lillie Wood, a highly accomplished

rapidly apvroaching completion. The bed
of the bridge is now being placed in condi-

Our hunters as yet, have not been very
successful in bagging game, save a few rab-
bits, and all told for this week they can be
counted on one hand without the thumb,
Gume must evidently be scarce, or the nim- *
rods somewhat off. As the season advances,
no doubt a number of our farmers will be
wondering what has become of some of their
fat turkeys—very likely.
Dr. Braucht has purchased from the Penn
Hall carriage works a very handsome and
convenient vehicle—a new idea called the
“Life Saver for Land Travelers,” rather a
long name that. In front it has two large
lamps, one on each side, and the entire body
of the vehicle can be completely closed, and
the occupant will be as comfortable and con.
tented in rainy and cold stormy weather, as
he would be occupying a rocking chair at
home. It is exacily the vehicle for rural
letter carriers.
Miss Lizzie Stover had her grand opening
of millinery goods Inst week, and availing
myself of ber kind invitation I stepped into
her parlors to note the latest styles in hats.
I found ber rooms thronged with delighted
visitors inspecting and commenting on She
styles of feminine hesd wear. I must say
she makes a varied and most attractive dis-
play of autumn and winter hats in all styles
and shapes. The work is skillfully executed,
the styles correct and true to Paris ideals,
charming and beautiful, and the colors the
very newest. Of course Miss Stever is doing
a very lively business.
Quite a number of our pious friends appear
to be unvecessarily exercised over s little
farming, said to bave been doue quite re-
cently on Sunday. To plow a fleid under
certain circumstanes, or to house grain when
threatened by continual storms and rains to
prevent its total destrustion,is no very grave
offense nor a violation of law. Common sense
would regard it a work of necessity. No
doubt many of these over zealous friends
would howl themselves hoarse, if they failed
to receive their daily newspapers on Mon-
day. That would be a terrible mishap, yet
that edition is printed, and all the necessary
work done on Sunday the same as any other
day. Now what is the difference? it isa
parallel case, yet we hear of no compinint,
no one whines or finds fault, but because =»
man is said to have worked on his farm on
Sunday, reluctantly no doubt, to save him.
gelf from loss, an extraordinary ado is the
concequence. The fuct is, there is consid-
erable cant, hypocrisy and any quantity of
erorodile tears shed over this so-called San-
day labor.
