Thomas H. Greevy, of Altoona, a
champion of clean politics and aonest
state government, has been selected’
by the Demccratic executive comm:it- |
tee as the candidate for lieutenant!

ticket, to fill the vacancy occasioned |
by the withdrawal of Samuel B. Price, |
of Sc:anton. i
Mayor 8S. M. Hoyer, from Greevy's'
home town, a member of the commi’-
tee, assured the meeting that the new |
candidate would accept and assist with '
all his power in making it a strenr
ous campaign.
Sketch of the Nominee.
Thomas H. Greevy, the nominee for
lieutenant governor, is one of the most i
prominent residents of Blair county. |
His parents were both from the Coun‘y |
Roscommon, Ireland, though he him. |
self was born at Birmingham, Enz- |
land, on April 4, 1850. His parents
came to this country and settled in |
Williamsport, this state, when he was |
but six years of age. He received his |
education in the public schools of Wil- |
lamsport and at Professor J. S. Davis’ |
Commercial college in that city. He is |
a member of St. John's Roman Cath- i
olic church, of Altoona, of which Rev. |
M. M. Sheedy is rector. i
Mr. Greevy was one of the organiz-
ers of the Altoona Aerie of the Fia- |
ternal Order of Eagles. :
He is also a member of Altoona '
lodge, No. 102, Benevolent and Pro- |
tective Order of Elks; Altoona lodge, '
No. 74, Loyal Order of Moose, of |
which he is past director; Knights of |
Columbus and Ancient Order of Hiber- |
nians. At the great Irish convention |
that was held in Chicago in 1895, over
which John Finerty presided, Mr.
Greevy was one of the secretaries and
took an active interest in its deliber-
ations. He is also a member of the
Froshinn society, the Concordia so-
ciety and Turn Verein, all of which are
German organizations in Altoona, and
takes an active part in their affairs.
His Early Career. |
In 1871 Mr. Greevy entered the of- |
fice of Samuel J. Morrison, in Wil |
liamsport, as a law student, but in
1873 moved to Altoona, where he fin-
ished his law studies with the firm
of Tierney & Brumbaugh, leading at-
torrevs of Blair county, and was ad-
mitted to the Blair county bar on Jan.
29, 1874. He immediately entered
upon the practice of law, and when
the firm of Tierney & Brumbaugh was
dissolved, Mr. Greevy became a part-
ner of Mr. Tierney. In 1876 this firm
was dissolved and Mr. Greevy contin-
ued the practice alone.
In 1877 an act of assembly was '
passed authorizing the creation of the
office of city recorder in certain cities
of the commonwealth. The cities af-
fected included Willlamsport, Erie.
Bradford, Altoona, Chester and ope or
two others. Altoona adopted the pro-
visions of this act, and in 1877 Mr.
Greevy was elected citv recorder after
a most bitter contest, which attracted
attention over the whole state. His ,
election was subsequently contested. |
Jokn Cessna, of Bedford, took charge
of the case for Mr.Greevy and brought |
fttoa successful issue.
~~ Active In Politics.
' Mr. Greevy has always taken a very |
active part in politics and was fre- |
quently a delegate to state conven:
tions. He held the office of city re- |
corder for five years, was tendered a |
i
unanimous renomination. but refused |
and immediately resumed the practice |
of the law. :
In 1888 Mr. Greevy was national del- |
egate to the convention at St. Louis,
which nominated Grover Cleveland for
president. In 1888 he was the nominee |
of his party for congress from the i
‘Twentieth congressional district; his |
Republican opponent was Edward |
Scull, of Somerset. The district gave
an average majority of about 6.00. !
Mr. Greevy was defeated by 4200. In |
1890 he was again the Democratic |
nominee from the Twentieth congres. |
sional district, composed of Cambria, |
Blair, Somerset and Bedford counties. |
He was defeated by only 526 votes
Mr. Greevy instituted a contest and |
the case was argued before the com-
mittee at Washington by Hon. Au-
gustus S. Landis, United States Sena.
tor William A. Wallace and A. H. Cof-
froth. It was never brought up in the
house and died with the end of the
term.
In 1902 Mr. Greevy was elected clty
solicitor of the city of Altoona, hold-
ing the position until May 1, 1903.
In 1904 he was Democratic candi-
_date for state senator in the coun‘iss
of Blair and Cambria, his opponent
being J. C. Stineman, and went down
with the “Roosevelt avalanche,” but
ran 9000 ahead of his ticket.
Mr. Greevy has an extensive law
practice in Blair county, principally
civil, although he has been engaged
on one side or the other of every im.
portant criminal case in the county for
many vears past.
State Chairman DeWalt says that
the itinerary of the campaign has not
yet been fully completed, but the fight
will be carried into every county of
the state. There will be ny special
trains, but when nécessary automo-
biles will be used in going through
counties where frequent stops are to
be made, and it will partake of the
nature of a careful campaign by wuich
all of the voters can be reached.

James J. Hill in his aidress before
the National Conservation Congress
instanced the tariff as one of the ene-
mies of conservation. “Whatever wy
may think of it as a general policy,”
said Mr. Hill, “every one can see that
by excluding the raw products of other |
countries it throws the entire burden |
of their consumption upon our own re- |
sources and thus exhausts tmem un-
necessarily. The tari on fores* pro- |
ducts cuts down our own forests, a |
tariff on coal depletes our mines, a
tariff on any raw material forbids the
conservation of similar natural re-
sources here.” The truth of this state |
ment is self-evident except to the Re- |
publican advocates of conservation.—

years of age and upwards cannot vote |
next November unless he shall have |
paid a state or county tax within the |
past two years. Such tax must be paid |
within a month before the November |
election; in other words, not later |
than Oct. 8. If you have not com.

It is necessary for every voter who
lives in a city to be registered if he
wish to vote in November. All pre-
vious registrations have expired. One
registration day in third class cities,

ton, has already passed. Two others
are to come—Tuesday, Sept. 20, and
Saturday, Oct. 22. Every Democrat is
imposed with the duty of being regis.

The Coldfeet club is growing ra-
pidly. Pennsylvania's latest addition to
it is Congressman Arthur L. Bates, of
Meadville, candidate for re-election
from the Crawford-Erie district. Bates
says he will not support Speaker Can-
non for re-election as presiding officer
of the national house. A commendable
pledge in itself, but it admirably de-
picts Bates’ vacillating character and
stamps him and his ilk as being unfit
to sit at Washington.
No man can be a really good citizen
if he doesn’t exercise the right of fran-
chise. But no one can exercise that
right if not registered—if he live in a
city. Tuesday, Sept. 20, is the next
registraticn day.
