TUESDAY’S PRIMARIES QUIET.
Ticket for Sheriff.
for the nomination of a full ticket of
i men to be voted for at the November
i election for county, borough
i Just how quiet they were can be more
clearly demonstrated by the fact that
a total of only 1744 Democratic votes
were cast out of a total registration
of 4257, or only about a two-fifths
vote, while on the Republican ticket
2811 votes were cast out of a total
registration of 5668.
The smallness of the Democratic
vote can doubtless be accounted for
in the fact that there were only two
interesting contests on the whole tick-
et, that between W. A. Carson, of
Haines township, and Capt. E. R.
Taylor, of Bellefonte, for the nomi-
| nation for Sheriff, the latter winning
. the nomination by a majority of 396.
| The other contest was for the nomi-
nation for County Commissioner be-
tween Burdine Butler, of Howard; W.
H. Fry, of Ferguson
George M. Harter, of Marion town-
: ship, and George H. Richards, of
Philipsburg. Fry and Harter won

“Little Giant to Speak.”
Clinton N. Howard, who will lec-
ture in the court house, Bellefonte, on
Thursday evening, September 25th, at
8:15 o’clock, was one of the most pop-
ular speakers in the war drives and
camps. He spoke in every State dur-
ing the period that the United States
was in. war. He was recalled to
Washington for patriotic lectures
nine times. His lecture, “The World
on Fire,” was heard before the Sen-
ate committee and ordered printed as
a public document. Over 150,000 cop-
ies were sold in book form.
On next Thursday night he will
give a new lecture entitled “A Joy
Ride to the Grave,” which is said to
be a side-splitting and stirring funer-
al oration suitable for a wake for
John Barleycorn. It is expected the
court house will be packed by both
friends and foes of the departed.
5000 mourners recently attended the
obsequies in Philadelphia and many
turned away.

the reason that they were higher than
