BERRY AND NILES FOR
CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS
Militant Reformers Address a’
Non-Partisan Meeting in
Pottsville Friday Night
SUMMON CONSCIENCE TO DUTY
Both Gentlemen Urge Opposition to
Machine Men and Methods and Ask
Support For the Admirable Demo-
cratic Candidates.
The non-partisan meeting held in
Pottsville last Friday night in the in-
terest of the Democratic state ticket,
C. LaRue Munson for justice of the su-
preme court, J. Wood Clark for auditor
general and George W. Kipp for state
treasurer, was a political event of
great significance. It was conceived
among the Republicans of that ma-
chine-cursed county, Schuylkill, and or
ganized and conducted by the better
element of that party in that county.
That it will have a marked influence
on public sentiment throughout the
state there can be no doubt. The ex-
ample of such men cannot be lost to a
conscientious people. Unfortunately
the time between now and the election
is too short to organize similar meet-
ings in other sections, but the report
of this meeting will be read in all sec-
tions of the state and the proceedings
will be pondered over wherever con-
science guides intelligence.
The principal speakers at the meet-
ing were Hon. Henry C. Niles, chair-
man of the Lincoln party, and William
H. Berry, the courageous and capable
former state treasurer, who exposed
the capitol grafting and saved the pub-
lic mililons of dollars which would
have been stolen if he had not reveal
ed the facts. The entire speeches of
these gentlemen ought to be read by |
every voter in the state, but we have
only
them.
Mr. Niles said in part:
The greatest improvement in the po-
litical condition of Pennsylvania has
been the result of the defeat of bad
Republican candidates by independent
Republican votes.
More than 100,000 Republicans in the
last four vears have shown again and
again their readiness to vote against
the candidates of their y when
the bosses have been emboldened to
nominate men too outrageously unfit.
or by methods too glaringly improper.
These true Republicans are ready at
any time when the candidates of their
own party are unworthy, to vote for
high-class Democrats for administra
tive or judicial state offices who are
absolutely honest and competent, in
order that thereby the usurpers of the
wer of their own party may be pun-
shed and the state's administration
Tay be reformed.
o political event has been more
manifestly for the benefit of the com-
monwealth than the defeat four years
zo of Plummer, the Republican can-
date for state treasurer, by inde-
pendent Republican votes, and the
election of the Democratic candidate,
William H. Berry.
The situation of four years ago is
now paralleled.
The manipulators of the Republican
organization have had enough of such
men as Stuart, Young and Sheatz.
They are tired of even the small ap-
pearance of being honest. They believe
the people have again gone to sleep.
and that it will be safe to renew their
usual tactics and follow their natural
instincts,
In their nomination of Stober and
Sisson they have returned to the old
Plummer and Snyder type, and have
turned from an experienced jurist like
Judge Rice, to put upon the bench of
the supreme court the selection of the
contractor bosses of Philadel
ok “candidates. Munson: for the su-
space for brief summaries of

They should be su y
same independent Republican senti-
ment and vote that supported John
Stewart for the supreme court and
Berry for the treasury in 1905.
Following is a brief outline of Mr.
Berry's speech:
It argues well for the future of Penp-
politics that representatives

of the same candidates for

Work For Victory.
A week from next Tuesday {is
election day and every hour of the
time intervening which Democrats
can spare from their usual vocations
ought to be given to preparing for that
event. Discuss the relative merits of
the candidates, urge upon others the
importance of a change in the politics
of the Beard of Public Grounds and
Buildings, arrange to get all voters to
the polls and see that every Democrat
entitled to vote performs that civic
duty. It will be worth all it costs in
time and trouble to any man of family
or any citizen of any condition in life.
The forces which elected William
H. Berry to the office of state treas-
urer in 1905 are united and active in
the interest of C. LaRue Munson for
justice of the supreme court; J. Wood
Clark for auditor general, and George
W. Kipp for state treasurer. The Lin.
coln Party men and other independent
Republicans to the number of more
than 160,000, who voted for Berry,
"|"
will vote for them. If the Democrats
do their duty this year as they did |
then, Munson, Clark and Kipp will be |
elected, as Berry was by a large ma- |
jority. No man, of whatever political |
antecedents, regretted the election of |
Berry. No fair minded man will re-
gret the election of Munson, Clark
and Kipp.
If Berry had not been elected the |
grafting in the capitol furnishings |
would be going on yet and by this |
time $25,000,000, or possibly more,
would have been stolen from the treas. !
ury. If Clark and Kipp are not elect.
ed this year the grafting will be re- |
sumed as soon as their antagonists |
are inducted into office. This is a

THE TAX ON SALT.
One of the Things That Started the
French Revolution.
Before the French revolution the
government established warehouses at
which the inhabitants were compelled
to purchase thelr stores of salt. These
warehouses were numerous in some
provinces and few in others; but,
whether sufficient or Insuflicient for
the needs of the population, they were
often situated at a considerable dis.
tance from the towns and villages,
whose inhabitants bad to rudge miles
along bad roads 10 buy their salt,
But this was pot all. It was pre-
scribed by law that the head of every
family must lay in his stock of salt not
at such times as might suit bis own
convenience, but on one stated day In
the year. Should he fail in this ob-
servance he was fined, and he was also
fined if be purchased & smaller quan-
tity than the law prescribed.
His hardships did pot stop even
there. On making his annual purchase
be had to state the different purposes
for which he intended to use the salt
during the ensuing year, and In the
event of his being discovered salting
his soup instead of his pork according
to his statement or his wrk instead of
his soup on the day he had named he
was also liable to a fine. His kitchen
was never secure from the intrusion of
the inspecting officer, and woe to the
housewife who was detected in any
petty infraction of this law.

There are enough Democrats in|
Pennsylvania to elect the entire Dem-
ocratic ticket by a good majority and
there is enough incentive in that re
sult to bring every Democrat to the
performance of his duty. The elec
tion of the Democratic ticket in this
state this year will guarantee im.
provement in political morals and
methods, moreover, which will endure
for twenty-five years, for even though
the Republican party is restored to
power next vear, the scourging will
have a good effect and it will have
learned the lesson that decent nomi
nations are essential to party success

Berry Predicts Big Democratic Victory.
Former State Treasurer William H.
Berry, of Chester, who was in Harris
burg this week, uttered a belief in the
probability of a Democratic victory on
the state ticket next month.
“I have heen all over the state,”
said Mr. Berry, “and find a great deal
of anti-organization sentiment. I do
not find so much idolatry for the gang
that used to be so manifest. The peo
ple are getting very tired of machine
rule and they do not hesitate to speak
out loud. Altogether, I should pro
nounce things in most excellent con
dition for a Democratic victory.”
The Quay statue was brought into
the capital at Harrisburg the other
day with a hood of black burlap over
its head and a heavy rope around ite
neck. As it thus stood on the plat:
form erected to facilitate the work of
placing it in the niche chosen for ite
uee it made a gloomy spectacle. As
hundreds of persons were passing
through the rotunda one observer re
marked that the presence of a sheriff
to spring the trap would be appropri
ate.
The Republican machine is putting
new burdens on its unhappy victims.
Public officials at the state capital and
in the cities under Republican control
are now compelled to join a Republi
ean club as well as contribute to the
campaign fund. This is another form
of taxation for the benefit of the
bosses, for the profits of the clubs go
to paying campaign expenses which
otherwise it would be up to the bosses
to defray.
