Let Every Republican Vote.
According to a poll of the differ
ent States token by the New York
Hearld there is apathy in many
quarters,says Philadelphia Inquir
er. The Democrats everywhere are
making their campaign on the trust
issue, while it finds that a social
istic tendency is developing on the
part of the unthinking which is aid
ing the Democratic cause. Its
tables give the Republican party a
majority of seven in the National
House of Representatives, but
should there be a strong Democratic
movement in the East it figures that
that majority would be wiped out
and the Democrats would gain con
trol of the House.
Twice before, following prosper
ity, has Pennsylvania goue Demo
cratic, only to be followed by the
election of Cleveland. In both in
stances the preliminary struggle
was in this State. For a third time
Mr. Pattison is running for Gover
nor, and all over the country the
Democrats are hoping for a revolu
tion here as well as in New York
which could be hailed by them, as
iu the past, as the forerunner of
Democratic victory in the Nation.
It is worth the while of every Re
publican, during the week to come,
to study the situation carefully, and
to ask himself if it is safe to per
mit the Democratic party to win
preliminary victories on the 4th of
November. Let every Republican
go over the history of the past few
years —the election of Pattison fol
lowed by the election of Cleveland
and the hard times which followed.
There are years in politics known
as "off" years; that is to say, a
great many voters are careless be
cause there is no President to elect
and they believe that their own
votes will not be necessary; that
there will be an ample majority
whether they vote or not. This
year most people are prosperous.
They are content in their prosperity.
They feel entirely safe. They can't
imagine that any possible danger
1 urks on the horizon. But the very
fact that they are prosperous ought
to lead them to make sacrifices even
to get to the polls and vote to con
tinue that prosperity. Why take
chances?
The Democrats are claiming
seven Congressmen in Pennsylvan
ia, where they should not be allow
ed to have over three. They arc
proclaiming their ability to capture
tlie Legislature and send a Demo
crat to the United States, Senate,
while their orators everywhere are
telling their followers that Pattison
is to be elected Governor.
Pennsylvania is a Republican
State—always Republican when Re
publicans take the trouble to vote
The Democrats are basing their en
thusiasm upon a large stay-at-home
vote upon that apathy which al
ways accompanies prosperity. We
do not believe that their enthusiasm
is well founded. Certainly Penn
sylvania Republicans are going t<
-land by their principles; by tin
national administration; by tin
great policies which are yet to hi
worked out at Washington. Tht
t trift i> availed on all side*. Tin
ifc-iuocrutic party is Hooking I'ret
trade as a cure all for trust power,
I he\ ure working to capture Pcnu
Mvlvania a« a lever to lie used in
sending a Democrat to the White
House. The campaign, then, is
one of very great national import.
This is not an "off" year in any
sense of the word. It is a most im
portant year, and because it is an
important year every Republican
should vote.
Elect Pennypacker Governor and
maintain Pennsylvania in the Re
publican column as a support to
Roosevelt.
Elect a Republican Legislature
in order that a Republican United
States Senator be may chosen in
turn.
And see to it that the Republi
can delegation in Congress is not
weakened by the presence in it of
Democrats who can only get there
if Republican voters remain away
from the polls.
Vote, and vote the straight
ticket.
Epochs in History.
Free trade epoch—
No national progress or prosper
ity, no progress iu manufactures,
low wages, industrial stagnation
from end to end of this resourceful
land, workmen idle, soup houses
busy.
Protection epoch—
Manufactories running full force
and new ones building, wages going
up and la'"'<*r demand for labor,
and the 5 a whole more
pros any time.
T £t secure. It is
fort. ,Nat the voter must
have a The Republican party
believes in the policy that has made
the protection epochs, to which they
point with pride. The Democratic
party has always produced the re
verse condition and is now the ad
vocate of free trade. It is a rather
reckless citizen, one who disregards
the facts of history, who is hopeful
that the country's conditions can
be improved by putting Democracy
in power.—Lafayette Courier.
Opposing the Strike Settlement.
Men are everywhere asking what
prominent Democrat aided in bring
ing about the settlement of the an
thracite coal strike. None have
been found. On the contrary it is
well known that many local leaders
of Democrats were prompted by
i those whose interests rest solely up
| on calamity, to oppose any settle
j lnent, and this they did with great
| industry. They were politicians,
but doing all in their power to
| widen the breach so that they might
i reap a political advantage. The
I plan failed, while that of President
Roosevelt and Republican Senators
I succeeded.
The material interests of Cameron
county will be best served by elect
ing lion. Henry 11. Mullin, Re
publican candidate for Legislature,
Mr. Mullin is untiring in his efforts
to advance the best interests of
Cameron county, has the ability
and push to work in the interests of
the whole people regardless of party,
therefore is the safest candidate for
the people to elect. Vote for
Mullin, who for years—.'l-t—has
worked to advance Little Cameron
and never takes a Iwiek seat when
your interests are at stake and his
services are needed. Remember
that, every Cameron county voter.
1 )o your duty and show that you ap
preciate his efforts in your behalf.

Voters of Cameron County!
You are called upon on Tuesday
next to elect a Congressman, and
member of the Legislature, who
will have to help to elect a Unit
ed Slates Senator lor the State
of Pennsylvania. Your attention
is called to the fact, that the
Democratic party is straining
every nerve to elect a Demo
cratic Congress and a Democratic
Senate, in order to tie the hands
of our President. We claim that
the present prosperous condition
of our country is due to a Repub
lican administration, and that if
vou wish to see this condition
continued, it is absolutely neces
sary lor you to cast your ballot
for the Republican candidates
for Congress and for the State
Legislature.
Personally, we have not a word
of fault to find with the Demo
cratic candidates for both of the
above offices, but we deem it un
wise and unsafe for you to vote
for them, unless you wish to
bring about a change in the pres
ent prosperous conditions. Hence
we ask you to lay aside all per
sonal considerations, and vote for
the continued prosperity of the
country by casting your ballot
for Messrs. Dresser and Mullin.
A. C. BLUM,
Chairman Republican County Committee.
Cameron Will Elect An Editor.
(Philadelphia Inquirer.)
The Republicans of Cameron county
have tendered the nomination and ex
pect to elect by a large'majority as their
member of Assembly Hon. H. H. Mullin,
of Emporium. In bestowing this honor
the party has designated a man devoted
to the best interests of his constituents.
He possesses enviable qualities of in
tegrity and business ability and is an
experienced and able legislator.
He was born in Cumberland county
and educated in the common schools.
He was a slate picker in the Montelins
Mines, at Mt. Carmel when a boy. He
came to Cameron county and apprentic
ed in the office of the CAMERON COUNTY
PRESS, of which paper he became and
to-day is editor
In 1894 he was elected to the Legisla
ture and his ability and fidelity earned
for him a commanding position. His
wide acquaintance with public men and
iti the accomplishment of his purposes
made him an important factor in all
legislation and made him also especi
ally valuable to his constituents.
Following the lead of her sister count
ies of the Twenty Congressional
district, "Little Cameron" is taking a
firm stand for S. R Dresser, of McKean
county, and proposes to put a large ma
jority to his credit.
Mr. Dresser a primarily a man of
honest dealings a cautions, thorough
business man, fearlei-sly frank, very
deserving and will receive more than
his party support. His election is as
sured.
Vindicated.
Alex. Johns, of Port Allegany, who
is employed as bar-tender at Martin- I
dale's hotel at Lorshbaugh,this county,
was placed under bail, last July, for
shooting one John Brace, who with
two other woodsmen forcibly entered
the hotel and demanded that they be
given something to eat, was discharg
ed by Judge Mayer on Tuesday, after
hearing the evidence presented by the
Commonwealth. The man who was
shot, John Brace, failed to putin an
: appearance, evidently glad to escape
! with his life. Mr. Johns, who protect-
I ed his own life against three men, is to
I be congratulated by his many friends
upon his complete vindication by the
the Court He is a quiet-, sober gentle
man and highly esteemed by all who
know him. Ruffians will no doubt give
him a wide berth in the future.
Osteopathy.
Dr. Ida D. Webb, late, of the Phila
delphia College and Infirmary of Osteo
pathy, has opened a branch office for
the practice of her profession in the old
Hiraoh residence, on 51 h, street, Em
porium, and will be there on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday.
Harry Hemphill, the Republican
nominee for sheriff, comes from a
family oi ioy.-tl ami respectable citi
y.eus. He is in every way fully
qualified to discharge the respon
sible duties and will make a model
Sheriff.
Vote to Continue Prosperity.
We are now on the threshold of one
of the most important elections ever
held in Pennsylvania. The people of
this Commonwealth have* always felt
proud of the dear old Keystone State,
and they have had a right to, from the
fact that her people are more prosper
ous and in better condition generally
than are the citizens of any other state.
This, perhaps, to many would seem like
a very broad assertion, but it can be
backed up by facts and figures, and it
is an old true saying "That figures
never lie."
If you want continued prosperity it
behoves you to study well the political
situation so that when you go into the
polling booth on election day, you will
make no mistake for whom you cast
your vote; it is a duty you owe your
self, your wives, and your children.
The most important positions to be fill
ed this year, is Congressman. Presi
dent Roosevelt during his short term
in the Presidential Chair has made an
enviable record, and Republicans and
Democrats alike are singing his praises
all over this broad land. In order to
carry out this grand policy, it is neces
ary that he should be backed by a Re
publican majority in the House of Rep
resentatives, otherwise ho would be
seriously hampered, and any wise
piece of legislation, that he might
suggest would most likely be turned
down by the Democrats, iftliey happen
ed to be in power. It must be plain to
the voters of the 21st Congressional
District, relative to whom they intend
to vote for, on next Tuesday. The
issues have been clearly defined, you
know exactly what your candidate,
Mr. S. R. Dresser stands for. If he is
elected (and there should be no doubt
as to that) he will goto Washington
and assist in placing on the statute
books,J laws that will bo beneficial to
his constituency. Furthermore, he
will take his orders from the people of
his district, and carry them out to the
letter. There is no free trade nor free
soup houses in his make up. Mr.
Dresser's motto is: "Live and let live,"
which is one of nature's greatest laws,
and that is what he will stand for when
elected to Congress. The Democratic
candidate! for Congress has conducted
a mud-slinging campaign from start to
finish. The stories which were con
cocted and absolutely false, were
eagerly sought after by the Democratic
press. They published them without
taking time to ascertain whether or not
they were true or false and the odium
which always clings to nasty cess pool,
will hold good, and forever cling to
the garments of those unfair editors.
You have had plenty of time to study
the true character of Mr. Dresser, a
great many of you have met him and
had a heart to heart talk and it seems
entirely unnecessary for us to dilate
upon his superior qualifications. Mr.
Dresser is a business man of sterling
integrity, and is eminently fitted for
the office for which he is running. In
conclusion we say to you in all sinceri
ty: Goto the voting booth on election
day and don't falter, if you wish to
perpetuate the good times and pros
perity, which you are now enjoying
and cast your vote for Mr. S. R.
Dresser, who has to
honestly and fearlessly lab r for the
interests of his party, both National
and State.
Eye Specialist.
Prof. W. 11. Budine, the well known
Eye Specialist, of Binghamton, N. Y.,
will be at R. H. Hirsch's jewelry
store, Emporium, Pa, Nov. 7th and
Bth. If you can't see well or have
headache don't fail to call and see Prof.
Budine, as he guarantees to cure all
such cases. Lenses ground to fit all
kinds of sight. Eyes tested and ex
amined free. All work guaranteed.
A Fire Department Story.
McClure's, with its record for railroad
stories, is naturally the magazine to ex
pect good fire-department stories in.
Such an one is Harvey J. O'Higgin's
I "A Chance of Profession," in the No-
I vember number. Evidently Mr.O'Hig
gins knows enginehouses as Frank 11.
| Spearman kuows roundhouses, and if he
! can continue to invent such fearfully
and wonderfully realistic escapes as the
one in this story, he hits the material
| for a good volume of adventure.
Voters of Cameron county, you

; choice for offices, without dicta

A gang of thieves have been operat

Congressman Dresser.
S. R. Dresser, the Republican candi
date for Congress, accompanied by his
secretary, Mr. F. L. Miller, visited in
Emporium last Tuesday for several
hours between trains and met many
Republicans, being enrout for the
east. lie also stopped a couple of
hours at Driftwood. Mr. Dresser will
be elected by a handsome majority,
even his opponents conceding his
election.
Disreputable Business.
The citizens of Cameron county are
disguted with the wholesale distribu
tion of beer and whiskey, intended to
influence the election of the Demo
cratic ticket in this county. Such
tactics are sure to react upon thejper
petrators and the decision of the peo
ple at the polls will demonstrate that
there are a majority of our citizens
who will condemn such wholesale vio
lation of law and order and decency.
Star Course Opening.
The out look for the Star Course is
reassuring. The number of season
subscribers promises to be large and the
committee is actively at work placing
tickets in the hands of persons engag
ing them. The date and hour at which
the chart will open will be duly an
nounced. Secure your ticket now of
some member of the committee or at
the store of H. S. Lloyd.
This Course will surpass in attrac
tiveness any of its predecessors. Four
Concert numbers and a lecture by a
leading lawyer of the New York Bar,
comprise the list of talent. The Course
opens Tuesday, Nov. lltli, with the
Brock way Grand Concert Company.
Self Reliance.
The spirit of self-reliance ought not
to show itself in a boldly assertive and
challenging manner. We suspect the
goodness of the man who is at pains to
tell us how good he is; we doubt the
courage of the man who talks about
his own bravery; we flatly disbelieve
the woman who says she does not care
what the neighbors say, and, we are
not convinced by the challenging front
which is only a cover for inward dis
trust and uneasiness.
Our confidence in ourselves should
be as firm as our confidence in the solid
ground on which we stand. We take
the earth for granted and it never fails
to support us. I should bo regarded
as a fool by my friends were I to say to
them, "See how stroug and secure 1
am; I have the earth under me. The
earth really is under me, is it not ?" If
I were to speak thus, I should deserve
to havo the earth open and swallow
me. Our faith in ourselves should be
quiet and implicit. It should never be
called in question, nor should it be
explicitly assorted. It should be so ba
sal, it should enter so deeply into the
very constitution of our lives, that the
varying experiences which come tons
will not shake nor obscure it. We
need the quiet mind which is never
unduly exalted nor depressed, which
is the master of all things and there
fore able to discount in advance what
ever of gyod or ill may be in store.
How pitiful to see a man who is the
sport of his own impulses and whim*
and of every passing influence, who
cannot discount adversity and oppo
sition, but quivers before the blast ip
an ecstasy of uneasy pain.
The quiet mind of the truly self-re
liant is open to a large and tolerant
and considerate view of other persons.
The more truly and deeply we enter
into life the more willing are wo to trust
the life that is larger than ourselves
and which expresses itself in the lives
of others in different forms from #ur
own.
The self-relian'u sptrit, the well bal
lasted character, the quiet and unMttnk
able mind, come from the the wn
scinus union of the finite with thu in
finite. "The true beeret of power lies
in keeping one's connection with »h©
God who worketh all things; and in
the degree that we keep this connec
tion are we able literally to rise nbeve
every conceivable limitation."
