Grim is Gaining
Ground Rapidly
Received With Enthusiasm in Northwest-
ern Counties.
Hon. Webster Grim, Democratic
nominee for governor, and his capable
associate on the ticket, Thomas H.
Greevy, had an exhilerating but some-
what arduous seven days in the north.
western counties of the state between
the 9th and the 15th instants. They
spent Sunday in Erie and visited
Warren, McKean, Clinton, Potter,
Tioga, Lycoming and Schuylkill coun-
ties during the week. It was a tour of
gratifying surprises and interesting
experiences. But it was a period of
hard work and constant movement.
The section is what may be called
“the enemy's country.” That is to say,
they were in communities which give
large Republican majorities usually,
and in which the Keystone Party senti.
ment has been assiduously cultivated.
As a matter of fact, however, it was
pot a hostile country. On the contrary,
they were enthusiastically received
and hospitably entertained by faithful
and earnest Democrats and cordially
welcomed by hosts of Republicans,
who, disgusted with the machine man-
agement of their own party are giving
moral support and will give their votes
to the magnificent ticket of the Demo-
eratic party, which affords the only
hope of overthrowing the Pearose oli-
garchy. 5
An Interesting Sunday.
Messrs. Grim and Greevy spent Sun.
day in Erie county, resting from their
arduous campaign labors of the pre-
vious week and preparing for another
hard lap in the race which began on
Monday morning in Warren county.
Both attended church in the morning
and during the afternoon were guests
of prominent Democrats of Erie coun-
ty
Senator Grim accepted an invitation
from Rev. C. B. McKinley, pastor of
Kingley's 3athodist caurch, to partici
pate in their services in the morning.
Mr. McKinley is a personal friend of
Senator Grim, and they were asso-
ciated together in church work at
Doylestown, the latter's home. After
the services he entertained the Demo-
cratic nominee at his home.
For his sermon Mr. McKinley had
chosen the appropriate theme of
“Civic Righteousness, or the Chris-
tian's Duty to Be a Politician,” in
which he dealt by inference with the
present political situation. He blamed
the people for the corruption in their
government, saying that it was due to
indifference to their duties as citizens
that the system of bossism had grown
up.
In closing, Rev. McKinley said:
“An election is drawing near. It is
not my functioa to direct you as to
which candidate or which party you
shall support. Some preachers believe
that it is a proper function of the min.
ister to champion the cause of some
y in the pulpit. I certainly do not
lieve that way. But I believe [ am

introduced Senator Grim to the mem-
bers of his congregation, telling them
of his sterling qualities. Mr. McKinley
spent an hour with Senator Grim at
his hotel during the afternoon, and af-
ter recalling early experiences in
Bucks county, when they were mem-
bers of the same choir, bade him god-

arren County's Cordial Endorsement
Warren county added its cordial en-
dorsement to that given to the Demo-
cratic candidates, Senator Waebster
Grim and Thomas H. Greevy, by her
sister counties of the northwest. The
were received with unfeigned enthusi-
38m by the leaders and the rank and
le and were greeted by a large and
sympathetic crowd when they spoke
from an automobile on the public
square. The welcome was not confined
to the Democrats of Warren county.
Among those who called at the hotel
were many Republicans, who voiced
their disappointment with the Penrose
ticket and tactics in no uncertain
terms, besides some few so-called Key-
stoners, who were delighted to find in
the Democratic candidate a perfect
gentleman, an earnest, honest man and
a fearless champion of sweeping re-
form in Pennsylvania.
They were escorted to the new Ho-
tel Struthers, where for more than two
hours they received a throng of active
pany workers and prominent citizens
of political faiths. For another hour
Senator Grim was piloted about the
city and presented to scores of voters
of the Democratic faith, who showed
their firm faith in their candidate and
their enthusiasm for the cause. Among
those who met the Jans eaders in
Warren were President Judge W. H.
Hinckley, Associate Judges fonn -
fins an alkerman and Judge -
Lindsey. Meantime Mr. Greevy
kept open house at the hotel and re-
ceived sg callers, scores of whom

mobile for a fying trip through the

The further Senator Grim travels
through this northwestern country the
more convinced he becomes that the
Jrospects for Democratic success are
«etter than at any time in a decade.
Unrest and dissatisfaction among the
voters is at high tide, and Republicans
and Democrats alike feel the Jreasing
need of radical reform in the state an
national government. Day by day the
certainty grows they will this
ear, as in the past, entrust that re.
orm to the party which has never
failed them in time of need, and which
offers them in Webster Grim and
Thomas H. Greevy candidates worthy
of its great traditions.

He sald in closing: “We want public
improvements, but we have a right to
demand that no greater burden be
placed upon the citizens than circum-
stan actually demand. This is par-
ticularly true when these same com-
panies do not return to the state a fair
rate for maintaining the expenses of
the government. Is it not about time
that we have a public service com-
to Fosct the public from im-
itions of these corporations? And
s it not about time that we closed
the doors against the indiscriminate
gift of public franchises?
“The election of Mr, Tener will mean
the opening of the way to barter and
sale of all the vicious legislation that
characterized the sessions of 1901, 1903
and 1905, and which has been held in
abeyance since. Not that [ would criti
cise Mr. Tener personally, but experi.
ence has shown that a man selected
as he has been cannot withstand the
demands of the organization.”
Mr. Greevy turned the attention of
the audience to the illicit relation of
the trusts and the machine, which he
said thrived in the same atmosphere
and Subidned each other with unfalil-
ing loyalty.
Potter and Tioga on the Job.
The Democrats of Potter and Tioga
counties in battle array gave the can-
didates at the head of their state
ticket, Senator Webster Grim and
Thomas H. Greevy, a rousing recep-
tion on Thursday and led them
through a program of campaigning
that kept them busy from in the
morning until after midnight. Provi-
dence seemed to favor the energetic
leaders of the party throughout the
day, for accidents which might have
spelled ruin for the candidates under
any other circumstances served only to
add to the success of their efforts and
brought them into touch with com-
munities which the schedule makers
had entirely neglected, and which
romise to =wing loyally into line for
e whole ticket.
The climax of the demonstration
came after night, when the party ar
rived in Wellsboro after an eleven-
mile moonlight auto run from Ansonia.
They found scores of ioyal Democrats
of this strong Republican county
awaiting them at the Coles house, and
during the evening many more dro
in to pay their respects and to bid
candidates a cordial welcome. All
in all the day was remarkable for a
display of unexpected enthusiasm and
harmony in the Democratic ranks,
which augurs well (or the party at the
polls in November.

Lycoming and Schuylkill.

warm reception on their arrival on
Friday morning. Chairman Cup) of

was cordially assisted by Charles J.

independent Republicans called at each
of the stopping places to pay their re.

them of earnest support.

given in half a dozen other places, all
of which were well attended. The

Whistler's Ways.
It was Whistler's custom when
drowsy to go deliberately to sleep, no
matter where or what the circum-
stances might be. At one dinner party
his gentle snore suddenly aroused his
neighbor, who nudged him violently
with his elbow. “1 say, Whistler.”
he protested excitedly, “you must not
sleep here!”
“Leave me alone!” snapped Whis-
tler. “I've sald all I wanted to. [I've
no interest at all in what you and
your friends have to say.”
One evening he was my guest at
dinner at a hotel. Edwin A. Abbey
was also there. Right after dinner
Whistler went calmly to sleep. On
the way to the theater he enjoyed an-!
other nap in the cab, and he slumber-
ed peacefully through the greater part
of the play. The next morning he
blandly asked me: “What did Abbey
have to say last night? Anything
worth while?'—Century.
“Charms” In Cornwall.
Cornwall, England. Is a county of
“charms.” “The passing of children
through holes in the earth, rocks or
trees, once an established rite, is still
practiced in various parts of Corn-
wall,” wrote Thomas Q. Couch about
fifty years ago. “With us bolls are
cured by creeping on the hands and
knees beneath a bramble which has
grown into the soil at both ends. Chil-
dren afflicted with hernia are still
passed through a slit in an ash sapling
before sunrise, fasting, after which the
slit portions are bound up, and as they
unite so the malady is cured. The ash
is indeed a tree of many virtues.
