Democratic Committee
In accordance with the rules of the
party the Democratic county committee
met in the arbitration room in the court
house at ten o'clock on Tuesday morning.
County chairman A. B. Kimport called
the meeting to order and appointed I. J.
Dreese, of Lemont, clerk. The roll call
showed a representation of thirty-nine
present out of a total of sixty-two.
In addressing the committeemen Mr.
Kimport stated that while the meeting
had been called on the third Tuesday in
August, there was really no good reason
for a meeting at this time because of the
change in the primary laws, and as there
was no especial business to transact he
would be glad to have a report from
every committeeman present on the con-
dition in his precinct.
Col. H. S. Taylor spoke for the North
ward of Bellefonte and he was followed in
turn by every man present. While all
told of an unusually quiet condition, po-
litically, they feit confident that when the
time came the party would come to the
front with one of its old-time campaigns
that always assured victory. Each com-
mitteeman has given special attention to
having every Democrat in his precinct
registered and gave assurance that they
would look after the payment of taxes,
etc.
After all the committeemen present
had been heard from several well known
Democrats made brief addresses in which
they predicted a sure victory this fall, if
the party workers see to getting ov’ the
full vote on election day.
Before adjournment Hon. J. W. Kepler
introduced the following resolution:
Resolved, That Rule 5 be amended as follows:
That the county committee be convened at any
and such time deemed necessary in the judgment
of the county chairman: or said committee can
be convened upon a petition to the county chair:
man signed by twelve members of the commit-
tee.
The purpose of the above amendment
is to do away with the necessary work of
holding a committee meeting on the
third Tuesday in August, as is now pe"
remptory under the rules; and which is
entirely unnecessary under the changed
conditions made by the new primary law.
Under the above amendment it will be
possible to convene the committee when-
ever it is necessary or convenient to do
so. The resolution passed by a large
majority but before it becomes effective
it will have to be ratified by the Demo-
cratic party in a public mass meeting.
Meeting.
——Mr. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN pro-
poses to look up the records of gentlemen
who aspire to the Democratic nomination
for President next year with the view of
instructing the public as to how to vote
on the question. Mr. BRYAN is likely to
have his}labor for his pains. The aver-
age Democrat doesn’t care what Mr.
BRYAN thinks of men and measures in
this year of grace. He is a mischief-
maker but happily has lost his power
of harm.

THE HosPiTAL TELEPHONE.—Last week
the WATCHMAN published the facts rela-
tive to the removal from the Bellefonte
hospital of the phone of the Bell Teie-
phone company of Pennsylvania on the
grounds that the company could no longer
furnish a free phone to that institution.
Saturday evening the writer was told by
manager W. S. Mallalieu that the phone
was back in the hospital, although he did
not state on what terms.
Since that time we have been informed
that the phone was put back on the agree-
ment of Mrs. T. R. Haves to pay forsame,
otherwise it would probably not be there.
The telephone company put up the
claim that under the interstate commerce
law they could not furnish free phonesto
any individual or institution. If this is
so, why isit that free phones are fur-
nished in Lock Haven and also in Belle-
fonte.
The Bell Telephone company of Penn-
sylvania and its predecessors have had a
franchise in Bellefonte for thirty years,
without paying a cent of tax for the privi-
lege of using the borough streets and
alleys for their pole service as they see
fit. And now they refuse to give the hos-
pital, which is very much a Bellefonte in-
stitution, phone service unless the hos-
pital or a private individual guarantees
the pay forsame. Under such a condition
it would not be more than right that the
company be made pay a tax on its poles
and all other privileges it enjoys in the |
town, and council should take the matter
up for consideration.

THREE PEOPLE HURT IN ACCIDENT: —
Shortly after nine o'clock on Wedneday |
evening there was a mixup out at the
Nittany furnace in which a young man
by the name of Grove, from Jacksonville,
and two young ladies were quite badly
of whom were sent to the jail at Ebens-
| burg for trial. Both things evidently
preyed upon his mind and last week in
company with several friends he took an
automobile trip through the hot sun and
it is the opinion of the physicians that he
cither suffered a sun stroke or his brain
was affected by the heat, which led him
to commit the act. The only tangible ev-
idence was a sealed note to his wife in
which he said: “They are after me.”
Who or what hg meant is not known.
Mr. Crissman was born near Tyrone,
Blair county, and was about fifty-seven
years of age. Most of his life was spent
in Philipsburg, where he was engaged in
the drug business. He was a staunch Re-
publican and for years was recognized as
the leader of his party over the moun-
tain, and was always to be found in
every Republican county convention,
where his voice was as familiar as the
peal of the town clock. He left Phillps-
burg about nine years ago and went to
Windber and opened up a drug store, go
ing to Johnstown one year later. Some
six years ago he located in Moxham and
{ had built up such a thriving business
there that he was building an addition to
his store at the present time.
While living in Philipsburg he was mar-
ried to Miss Ada Hall who survives with
two children, Steele S. Jr. and Doris;
also one step-daughter, Mrs. C. H. Sup-
pes. He also leaves his aged mother,
Mrs. Margaret H. Crissman, and the fol-
' lowing sisters: Mrs. Edward Horn, Mrs.
Lytle, Misses Laura, Sarah and Min-
nie, all of Philipsburg. The remains
were taken to Philipsburg, where burial
was made on Monday.
BiG NIGHT FOR MOOSE: —Moose are
becoming more plentiful in Centre coun-
ty every day, though up to this time the
Pennsylvania Legislature has not enacted
a law providing for an open season for
killing them. Of course this is only

ic voters a statement of, and argument why, I am
asking their suffrage at this time.
In prior years the voters of this county have
singled out for this cfiice the man, who at the
time of his selection, for the office, the office
would most benefit; they have not taken one
who was not in need of the office from a financial
view, nor have they taken the man who has had
the benefit of long years of practice or the asso-
ciation with others who have an established prac
tice, not the man who has other things upon
which he can depend until he may be established-
nor have they selected that person who is able to
spend the mos® money in securing the nomina-
tion.
Following this I would say, | am the youngest
Democratic member of the Centre county bar,
practicing alone, although I have been in active
practice for more than ten years. That I have
never held public office, either local or county.
That I must depend upon my own efforts for such
success as I may have or attain. That the office
I am now seeking would be the greatest benefit to
me in securing the experience and library neces-
sary for the practitioner.
I will try to see the voters between now and the
primaries, but should I not be able to do so 1
