EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28.1901.
HON. W. C. ARNOLD.
TESTE D TIM BER.
Ex-Congressman W. C. Arnold a Possible
Candidate for Congress Again—He is
Able, Energetic and Always Active in
the interests of His Constituents.
An Eloquent Orator.
From Ridgway Advocate.
The recent re-apportionment of this
state into Congrestional districst
makes a new political checker board
on which to play next year. Leading
Republicans all over the state are look
ing about and talking just now of the
most available Congressional timber
for their several districts. It is im
portant to carry all the districts pos
sible, to the end that our President
may have the cordial support of a Re
publican Congress in carrying out the
present admirable Republican policy.
Men who will be winners are earnestly
desired, but men who will be useful
and reliable when they get to Wash
ington are certainly just as much to
be sought after.
A number of Republican leaders
with whom we are acquainted have
been talking very strongly recently
that the most available man for tiie
party to put up in the new Twenty
first district would be Hon. W. C.
Arnold, who was elected triumphantly
in the old Democratic Twenty eighth
in 1894 and then again 189 G. We do
not know yet whether Mr. Arnold will
consent to make the race or not, but
we do know that it would be very hard
to lind a better man for the place We
tried him for four years in the old
Twenty-eight district, and we know
he was the most active and able Con
gressman the district ever sent to
Washington. Mr. Arnold is a man of
wonderful capacity for work and he
never allowed any interests of his
constituents to suffer. He secured
many benefits for his district while in
Congress, and always stood ready to
defend our rights on the floor of the
House. As an orator and bebater there
were few there who could excel him.
His patriotism and zeal in the cause of
Republicanism were finely illustrated
several times.
The believers in sound currency will
recall the positive declaration of Mr.
Arnold in his famous speech on Silver
Coinage and Sound Currency February
0, 1896: "I am for protective tariff
and sound money as against free trade
and free silver." Those who believe
the war was right from a humane
standpoint have not forgotten his
marvelous speech on "Free Cuba,"
March 24, 1898, and his earnest appeal
for the suffering thousands on that
island, and admire him for his stand
in that critical hour. Citizens who
have watched his career and have
heard his voieo on public questions,
and have felt his influence in their
behalf would gladly vote for his return
to Congress. Men who have proved
their ability in Congress should lie kept
there, for they develop and become
more valuable each succeeding year.
That's the secret of the great power
wielded in Congress by tho little state
of Maine.
Mr. Arnold has always been found
in the forefront on the vital public
questions of the day. Before the policy
I of the Administration had been declar
i ed or decided upon in regard to retain
| ing the Philippines. Mr. Arnold ut
| tered t'nese thrilling words in his
! speech at the "Peace Jubilee," which
! was held at Johnsonburg, this county,
| just af rer tho declaration of peace with
| Spain: "Wherever the indomitable
j bravery of our boys lias taken a for
i ward step in the cause of suffering hu
manity; wherever the dauntless cour
| a<;i> of America's sons has faced danger,
disease and cannon, that the bound of
I a higher civilization might be enlarged;
( wherever the splendid valor of our
j gallant soldiers has planted our flag;
I there let ic float forever and forever!"
Mr. Arnold was born July 15, 1851,
I in the village of Luthersburg, Clear
i iield county, Pa, and is a son of
i Samuel Arnold, a leading business man
jof the county for many years. He
j studied law with Judge J. B. McEnally
I and was admitted to the Clearfield bar
j in 1574; prior to this ho had been cash
j ier of the Curwensville Bank, of which
! 'be late Hon. John Patton was Presi-
I dent. Mr. Arnold has been practicing
j law in the city of Dußois very success
| ful for nearly ten years. He redemed
i the old Twenty-eight district from the
1 Democrats in 1891 because of his ability
| as an orator and practical politician.
: Should the Republicans of the new
Twenty-first district composed of
Clearfield, Center, Cameron and Mc-
Kean counties, nominate Mr. Arnold
as their candidate for Congress, there
would be no question of his election,
for he is one of the greatest campaign
ers in the state.
I As we are not in the new district,
, wo have no right to dictate to the Re
; publican leaders as to what they shall
j do in the matter, but we do claim the
| right to say that we have tried Mr. Ar
| nold and proved his ability and faith
j fulness. We know from personal ex
| perience that he not only stands by
Ins party in every emergency, but he
|is also true to his personal friends.
■ Nothing gives him greater pleasure
j than to do a favor in return for those
j who have helped him.
