For instance there is Mr. WILLIAM | H. BERRY, who has been spending weeks of the time the government has been paying him to perform official duties, going up and down the State berating and heaping all manner of political abuse upon Col. Jas. M. GUFFEY and Senator J: K. P. HALL as “bi-partisans,” when it is to these two men that he is indebted not only for the political positions he has been permitted to occupy, but for almost everything else he has to point to, either politically, socially or financially. Less than a dozen years ago they took him from the grime and grease of a country machine shop down in Delaware county, and made him Treasurer of the great State of Pennsylvania, with the liberal salary that goes with it. They paid the expenses attendant upon his election, they furnished the transpor- tatiom required for his campaign, and after his election and before his induc- tion into office paid the attorney he se- lected.—Mr. HOMER CaAsTLE—for a full and complete examination of, and a verified report of the condition of the Treasury, at the time it was to be turned over to its Democratic incumbent. The fight for that position cost Mr. BERRY just $250. He had been assessed as a candidate, by the State executive com- mittee, $2,500 which assessment was paid by Col. GUFFEY, whose instructions to the committee, at the time of making the payment, was that nothing more should be asked of or received from Mr. BERRY. In addition to Mr. BERRY’S assessment, Col. GUFFEY and Senator HALL paid from their own purses for campaign expen- ditures that year over $55,000. It is these two men particularly against whom the animus of Mr. BERRY, and the two or three office brokers he is now serving, is directed and their chief charge is that they are “bi-partisans,”’ (whatever that may mean,) and for years dominated Democratic conventions and dictated their nominees. If they ever dominated any convention it was the one that lifted Mr. BERRY out of his obscurity as a Delaware county machinist, and made him a standard bearer of the great party they represent- ed and had kept together, from the time that Mr. MCCORMICK was trying to di- vide and disorganize it by fighting Mr. BRYAN, up to that date. And they not only had him nominated but they paid every cent of the campaign expense that elected him, without asking him to return a cent. They did not, even after securing him the place, demand a voice in the selection of the many clerks he had to choose, and the only recognition he gave these gentlemen was the naming of a 6th rate clerk who had secured the names of the officers of the Democratic State committee upon his application and held Mr. GUFFEY’S letter of endorsement., ‘Even to the party that elected him Mr. BERRY has shown the most unpardona- ble ingratitude. While holding the office of State Treasurer, he never contributed a penny to the party expenditures nor would he have any of his numerous clerks and assistants give anything to cam- paign funds. He bolted the party nomi- nee in 1910, and insured the election of the present Republican Governor, and now he is on the stump, and has been for weeks trying to build up a faction that will insure the defeat of the Demo- cratic nominees at the election of 1914. Verily Ingratitude, thy name is WIiL- LIAM H. BERRY. —After he gets out of the jungle and his boils allow him to sit down again, we presume the Colonel will be prepared to inform his friends which, the Colombus or the JoB experience of the trip entitle him to the greater distinction. ——Naturally HUERTA is averse to settlement upon the basis of his elimi- nation but upon the principle that noth- ing is settled finally until it is settled right there is no alternative. HUERTA must go. —Mr. PENROSE claims that he will make a “clean sweep” at the primaries, and there are plenty of people naughty enough to think that it will be the first “clean” job he has ever had a hand in. —The latest news from Washington seems to indicate a shortness of ammu- nition in that Mediation war that has been declared down there. rr ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.

He was one of the first charter mem- bers of Centre Grange, No. 74, and has on numerous times been elected to town- ship offices, among which was that of school director for several terms and during his encumbency of this office did, and still does, by his vote and voice, ad- vocate all improvements along advanced educational lines. He has also on vari- ous occasions assisted by financial aid poor boys and girls, who were unable to procure the necessary funds from home to complete their education, and has always been a willing and great benefac- tor in our township among the poor and needy. Mr. Miller has all his life been an ac- tive and influential church worker and is always deeply interested in its financial welfare, contributing largely for its sup- port every year, and his whole life has been that of a true and upright christain, who retains the confidence and respect of the entire community. He has been a great reader all his life, and has read many great works upon subjects that come under our every day life, and from this source of information, along with his good judgment, has treas- ured up in his mind many helpful sugges- tions that would be very valuable to him | in framing and enacting such legislation | as would be productive of the most good for us all. : In politics he has always been a staunch Democrat, always supporting the nomi- nees on the ticket.
