The Gang and the Ungagged Press.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, whose
editor holds a public office by the
grace of the gang, is the only paper
that has anything to say for Ma
chine rule in Pennsylvania as
against the independent movement.
In Pittsburg the Republican Leader
and the Republican Dispatch and
The Republican Times and The Re
publican Press have demanded the
withdrawal of the gang cauddates
for the State office. Only the gang
controlled Pittsburg Gazette and
The Chronicle Telegraph are out for
the Machine.
If one takes the time to ascertain
the facts, it will be found that every
paper, not owned by an office-holder
by the graces of the Machine, is
against the gang in this State.
Every Independent Republican
newspaper and the ones from
Philadelphia and Pittsburg are
mentioned especially on account of
their wide circulation has taken a
stand against the dictation of the
bosses. The county papers through
out the State have taken the same
stand, with the exception as above
stated, of those editors who hold a
public office under the Machine, and
they have evaded the issue and
have refused to publish facts. Ex.

Brief Sketch cf the Life and
Achievements of the People's
Candidate For 5tate
Treasurer.
Tho biography of William H. Berry,
Democratic nominee for state treas
urer can be briefly written. His life
hna been one of endeavor and achieve
ment. He has been a worker from
earliest manhood and whatever of suc
cess he has attained has been the
fruit of his own effort.
Mr. Berry was born In Edwardsvtlle,
Illinois, September 9, 1852, and was
educated In the public schools of that
village. He served an apprentice
ship as a machinist In Buffalo, New
York, where he acquired a technical
education In the night schools, giving
bis evenings to study after his days
of labor. Upon the completion of his
apprenticeship he served seven years
as a journeyman machinist at the
bench.
In 1S74 Mr. Berry located In Ches
ter, where he had obtained employ
ment as a machinist. Subsequently he
worked there as Journeyman, assist
ant foreman and foreman for 17 years,
during which time he Invented several
labor-saving devices, some of which
have proved profitable as well as
useful.
In 1902 Mr. Berry established a
plant of his own In Chester for the
manufacture of steam specialties, un
der the title of the Berry Engineering
company. He became president and
general manager of that company, and
Incidentally, as Its title Invited, be
came consulting engineer of several
large manufacturing plants In Chester
and adjacent cities and towns.
Mr. Berry is essentially a self-made
man. From the proceeds of his labor
and the fruits of his inventive achieve
ments he has enjoyed during recent
years sufficient income to properly ed
ucate his children and create for his
family a comfortable home. One of his
sons has been schooled in the sciences
sufficiently to take his place in the fac
tory and another Is serving honorably
as a lieutenant in the Marine Corps of
the United States navy.
Mr. Berry Joined the Methodist
church in 187G and was made a local
preacher In 1879. He has preached ac
ceptably and with advantage to the
church in all the churches in the vicin
ity of his home. He lectures frequently
on scientific and economic subjects
and is actively identified with all the
charitable and philanthropic move
ments In the city in which he lives.
In politics Mr. Berry Is a disciple
of Thomas Jefferson, and though ad
verse to holding ofilce has always been
faithful to civic obligations and active
in public affairs. He has served in
the Councils and School Board of his
adopted home with great satisfaction
to the people.
The first political office ever held by
Mr. Berry was that in which he is now
In commission. The city of Chester had
been ring ridden far beyond the limit
of peaceful endurance for many years,
and public protests were literally
laughed down. Last spring, however,
the people determined to make one
great effort at rescue, and the Demo
crats nominated Mr. Berry for Mayor.
The prospect of sucess was not promis
ing when he was notified that tho
honor had been bestowed upon him.
At the November election prevolusly,
Roosevelt had nearly 6000 majority out
of a total vote of a little more than
10,000, and in order to win, therefore,
it was necessary that he should get
all the Democrats, every Prohibition
ist in the city and nearly half the Re
publicans. Most men would have been
appalled at such a condition, but it
didn't frighten him. He accepted the
nomination, and promptly set about to
secure the election. After the moRt
exciting contest In the history of the
city, the vote resulted in a substantial
majority for Mr. Berry,
And he has "made good." During the
campaign Mr. Berry declared that In
the event of his election the iniquities
which wore disgracing the city should
cease. Just as he asserts now, that If
he Is elected State Treasurer the graft
In the finances of the state will be
stopped, so he said then that If elocted
Mayor the gambling dens, speak-easlus
and vice resorts should be eliminated
from the life of the city. That pledge
has been fulfilled, moreover. The mo
ment he entered upon the dutleB of the
office he set himself to the task of ful
filling his promise and found It ex
ceedingly easy of achievement.
Probably no man in Pennsylvania
bad less thought of the Democratic
nomination for state Treasurer on tbi
finy 01 tun Democratic state tjonven
tlon met thnn Mr. Berry. But the revolt
agalnRt civic itpriRhteousness had Jtist
begun In Philadelphia, and all minds
were turning toward reform and re
formers. In this state of public opinion the
name of William H. Berry, the reform
er who "does things," was mentioned,
and it ran through the body like "fire
in an August clearing," and he was
unanimously nomlnnted. As he de
clared In his speech of acceptance, be
had nothing to do with the matter up
to thnt time, but he has taken a hand
since, and Is now leading a triumphant
army to certain victory.
Mr. Berry hns alwayi been pecu
liarly fortunate In his relations with
worklngmcn and organized labor. In
deed, ho freely nscrlbcs his succuss In
the maoralty campaign to the cordial
and earnest support of the artisans In
the community. He ha been an em
ployer of labor for many years, and
during recent years extensively so.
But he has never had a labor strike
or serious difficulty with his employes
on account of wages or differences of
any kind.
DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING.
Hon. William H. Berry. Candidate lor Stata
Treasurer and Others Will Speak.
Chairman Clinton Herring of the
Democratic County Committee has
made arrangements lor a mass meet
ing to be held in the Court House
on Tuesday, Octoler 10th at 8
o'clock in th? evening. The meet
ing will be addressed by Hon.
Yvilham II. Berry, candidate (or
State Treasurer, and Eugene Bonni
well Esq. of Philadelphia. Both
are able speakers. Mr. Berry
makes a scathing arraignment of
the machine miscovernment in
Pennsylvania, nd everybody
should hear him.
There will be music by brass
bands, and the trolleys ior Berwick
and Catawissa and a. special train
on the B. & S. will run after the
meeting.
Political Convictions on Sale.
Honest men of all parties will
agree with Judge Alton B. Parker,
that men like President McCall of
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, a so-called Democrat, who
makes contributions to campaign
corruption funds, have no political
convictions that stand in the way
of their personal advantage.
1 his is another way ol stating a
truth which Joseph V. Folk now
governor of Missouri put in epi
yramatlc form when he said:
Men who are in politics for what
they can get out of it, are neither
Republicans nor Democrats, but
simply rogues," and which Secre
tary of State Elihu Root voiced
when he spoke of the Philadelphia
gang as "a corrupt and criminal
combination, musquerading as Re
publicans." Well informed and honest men of
all parties will also agree with
Judge Parker that if manufacturing
and railroad corporations were in
vestigated, as the business of the
life insurance companies is now be
ing probed, it would be found that
the officers of the insurance com
panies were not the only corporation
officers who "put their hands into
the treasury and took out moneys
belonging to widows and orphans
to secure a partisan triumph."
It the legislative committee now
investigating the insurance com
panies in New York, were to ac
complish nothing further than to
show tip the enormous contribu
tions made by the corporations to
the Republican corruption fund, its
appointment would be fully justi
fied.
The exposers of this infamous
business alreadv made by the com
mittee ought to bring about such a
reform as would compel the publi
cation of all the receipts and ex
penses of every political committee
in every campaign. x.

The Philadelphia Press says: One
significant feature of the present
political uprising in Philadelphia
lias been the practically unanimous
suppoit of the clergy and their
active participation therein. Shoul
der to should':!', the religious lead
ers ol the city, without respect tc
denominational or political names,
have stood for the cleansing of the
municipal government. It is doubt
ful if anMiiirg quite like it has
ever been s.en before in Ameiica.
The coinage, public spirit and
single inui(l..tliK'ss of the pieathers
of l'liihuM-liia. Protestant and
Rinnan Catholic, have been notable
reasons for civic pride. The part
of the pulpit in the present move
ment is Mgnificant. It indicates
that the religious and moral senti
ment of the cemniunity is on the
side of the City party, undeceived
by any of th j crude sophistries of
the Organization and its defenders.
The church going, home owning,
school supporting, self-respecting
and patiiotic voters of Philadelphia
will be found on election day
writing the doom of the Machine
upon freemen's bal'ots. And when
it comes to the hour of the celebra
tion of victory, Lt us not forget the
service of the minis'ry to the cause
of good government.
