My Dear Farmer: I am glad to

Your long term of aggressive
work for honesty and decency in
Pennsylvania politics, has been one
of the brightest spots on our state

was a large factor in making the
revolution possible that enabled us
to expose the grafters at the Capi

Yours truly,
Wm. H. Berry.

must have plenty of grit, cour

FOR COUNTY
VOTE
JERRY A. HESS, OF
SUBJECT TO THE RULES OF
Primary Election, Saturday, April
and 8 p. in.
Because of my duties as county
1 P ' ' X
l; . r it" V '
taking up all my time, it will be impossible for me to see all of the vot
ers personally, although I would like very much to do so. I am very
grateful for the support of the voters at mv first election, and if they
choose .o support me agaiu, I shall use my bist efforts for the good of
the county. Very Respectfully,
Sheatz Will be for Penrose.
The enemies of Senator Penrose,
in his own party, will not put too
much confidence in the recently
published statement that State
Treasurer-elect, John O. Sheatz,
has aligned himself on their side of
the impending senatorial contest.
When the time for action arrives,
Mr. Sheatz will not be against Pen
rose. He may follow the example
of Governo Stuart and assume a
measure of independence in non-essentials.
But when it comes to the
real thing, he will be "for the old
flag and an appropriation." Sheatz
is not exactly a political "brill
iant." He is not a genius in states
manship. But he knows enough
to "be good" when the boss is
looking and the boss is likely to be
looking constantly then.
Mr. Sheatz has not taken us in
to his confidence with respect to his
policies after his induction into of
fice. But it is a reasonably safe
conjecture that he will do pretty
much as he is told not only in the
selection of his official staff but in
the distribution of the public f uuds.
He will listen with apparent inter
est to the suggestions of the editor
of the esteemed Philadelphia North
American but he will appoint to of
fice men who are for the organiza
tion and will put the money where
it will do the most good to the ma
chine. If Senator Penrose hadn't
been sure of this Mr. Sheatz never
would have been nominated and
would have been an unimportant
factor in the equation now.
Of course the talk of Sheatz as
the successor of Penrose was an
absurbity intended to flatter the
Treasurer elect into the delusion
that his political estate would be
improved by an alliance with the
enemies of Penrose. But it hardly
deceived Mr. Sheatz. He knows
that Senators in Congress are not
of his class. His aspiration to the
office to which he has been elected
was about the limit of assurance
and to put senatorial ambitions in
to his head would be preposterous.
The enemies of Penrose are forced
to desperate extremities, however,
and after having considered Flinn
anything else seemed possible, even
Sheatz. His credulity wasn't equal
to the occasion, though. Watch
man. Forty-nine men have applied at
the recruiting station for the Unit
ed States army in Altoona this
month, seventeen of whom have
been accepted. The shop suspen
sions are responsible for men seek
ing places in the army. The cav
alry and hospital service of the
army has been filled up and those
accepted must either enter the in
fantry or artillery. As a rule men
who enter the army because of bad
industrial conditions do not make
the best of soldiers, or at least they
are liable to desert if conditions im
prove, and the men who apply are
closely questioned by the officer be
fore he accepts them.

Straight Votes at Primary
Parties Can't Be Interwoven in the Ballot.
The State Department recently
issued this statement relative to
the uniform primary law:
Letters and opinions indicate
that at the primary election votes
cast by the voters of one party for
a candidate of another party will
be consolidated and returned in the
total vote for such candidate.
This cannot be. To allow this
to be done would be to defeat the
primary purpose of the primary
act, which aims to prevent the vot
ers of one party from participating
in the nomination of the candidates
of another pafty.
Any names written in a Demo
cratic party ballot must be connted
only as votes for Democrats and be
listed on the returns as Democratic
votes and vice versa.

W. 6. Snyder's Record on the
Side as a Democrat
South
We this week announce the can
didacy of Wm. B. Snyder, Esq.,
of Locust township, for the Demo
cratic nomination for county treas
urer. Mr. Snyder is one of Locust's
well known Democrats. He has
served several terms as notary pub
lic and justice of the peace, and
when he ran in 1899 for the Demo
cratic nomination for the treasurer
ship was second in the list of four
candidates, polling 1274 votes to
the successful candidate's 151 1.
He feels that because he has al
ready been at the expense of one
campaign, accepting the previous
defeat with good grace he has some
claim upon the office.
Fe has both the ability and the
inclination to conduct the affairs of
the office honestly and in a business
like way, and ii elected will serve
the people of the county well.
Catawissa News Item Feb. 13, 1908.
A few days ago the pastor of St.
Anne's Catholic church, at Free
land, organized the boys of bis
church to fight the cigarette habit.
An item to this effect reached the
newspapers, and it caught the eye
of President Roosevelt who imme
diately addressed a letter to Father
Healey, highly commending his
efforts and suggested that an effort
be made to permanently extend it.
