r 11E C AM EK ONCoUN TY PR 3r : CiivvßLisni:i) BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH 1866. VOL. 39. Hull Slinking Reacts. EDITOR CAMERON COUNTY PRESS:— 1 do nut think the averago citizen believer in mud-slinging in politics, especially in county politico We all, we thick, want the best men we can get to 1111 all our offices, but more especially county offices, for the county matters corno nearer our pockets than any other matters. What honest man wants to run for an office if he feels he is to be abused the moment ho allows his name to b presented to the public for any office? llow long will we lie able to get good men to run for any office the county can offer, if mud slinging is to continue? We think all thoughtful citizens will agree that it is time to call a halt on mud-slinging, and goto work and get the best men we can get for county offices and Repre sentative. Surely no county needs good men more than ours does. I no ticed in the Independent of Oct. 6th an article, in my judgment, uncalled for. I have reference to an article headed "A Wail for a Platform and a Declara tion of Principles." Sur -lytho writer of that article' could not. have meant what he wrote. We believe it was written with the idea in view of catch ing t he vote of some disgrunt'ed citizen, but will it? As before stated, we believe our citizens are tired of mud-slinging, and it seems to me the article referred to is full of uncalled for mud-slinging and venom. Every one in the county knows Mr. Josiah Howard, and his great benevolences, but, they do not know all of them. The writer knows well many kind acts of Mr. Howard that the general public never knew of, but what the public knows should bo enough to send him to Ilarrisburg with the largest majority ever given a Rep resentative from the county. If the voters of this county do not elect him how can they ever expect a good, clean citizen to allow his name togo before them again for any office of responsi bility? 'l'he Independent says Mr. Blumle has dono ten times more for good roads than Mr. Howard has. That may be true, but we do not think the general public will believe it Mr Blumle has done quite a little for the roads on Plank Road Hollow, buo Mr. Blumle was more benefitted by that road than any one else. Mr. Howard has spei.t hundreds of dollurs?and given his personal time fixing onr streets for the benefit o( the public at large, and no one will deny but that our street* are in much better shape than ever be fore. Mr. Howard, at his own expense, has for years kept open a free library, gymnasium and reading room for the general public. In the afternoon this place is open for the accommodation of the farmers wives and daughters from all over the county, or elsewhere, with a lady attendant to wait on them. He also saw to it that our citizens had a beautiful Park, where the young can congregate any time to play their games, and the older folks can* go and rest. He, and he alone, made it possi ble to have a county fair, who put up the buildings there, cleared the land, and made it possible for all our citizens to have a public place of enjoyment. Perhaps Mr. Howard can tell you better than any one else, yet you never hear this gentleman speak of it. Many other things this gentleman has done, and more improvements are contem plated. Mr. Editor, can the citizens <>f this county, knowing all this, vote for a man who has not such a record? I do not think they will. Which of the two men has the «ood of the county most at heart? Which of the two men is likely to be the most useful in the halls of the Legislature? Ido not think any citizen can doubt. Mr. Howard has made his money in this county, and in it he is spending it, and after a while when the timber is gone, and perhaps some of the other industries, Mr. Howard will be here to help us on with his charities and brain. Can we hope for as much from the other candi date? I will leave the public to judge. We know what Mr. Howard has done, and we have no reason to think he will ever change. We also know what Ilr. Blumle has done, and have no idea he will change. We ask the general pub lic which of the two candidates is most worthy of their support? We believe there are enough good, honorable thinking voters in this county to give Mr. Howard a very large majority, and vindicate the stand taken after the last election, that we will 110 longer allow beer or whiskey to influ ence our vote or allow it to rob us of the value of it.

"Last year Mr. Wallace Bruce Amsbary en j deared himself to all who heard him; he is :i reader of exceptional merit; all who hear him :.m well pleased and i many are delighted. Hi-i manner is so i natural that whatever ! is subject it I seems to be original and spontaneous —impromptu; in his mouth old pieces take on such new meaning that you j bear t hem for the first time; at least a new interpretation for them. This is ' real histrionic genius; it is the personal | equation that gives perennial freshness | to the best literature; it is the personal j presence and manner that cays so much | more than the mere words of a writer j can express. We hope that there will j be a good Chautauqua here next year I and that Bruce Amsbary may be here | with it, improved by time as much as !he has been the past year.

EDITOR PRESS:— Young man, the day is fast approach j ing when yon will be called upon to , answer this vital question, for answer ! it you must, if this government of the pooplo is to continue to exist. Let mo ' suggest that yon weigh the matter well ; before you goto the polls, and, what j over you may do, don't vote for any man simply because he is a "jolly good fellow." There are two ways of being "a good ; fellow." One is to spend motley freely at the bar, and in so doing demoralize ' and degrade the voter.;. The other, and better way, is to strive in every possible way to elevate and inspire the young men to become men of moral character. The one "good fellow" encourages the use of alcoholic liquors as a bever age, and in so doing lays the founda tion for drunkenness, despair, wrecked homes and ruined lives, and possibly lost souls. The other "good fellow" encourages temperance, free libraries, public im provements and pure, undeflled man hood and womanhood. These, my boy, are some of the issues your conscience must help yon to de cide, between now and November. Remember your poor old mother's prayers, that her boy might become a j puro man, and then vote as your | conscience dictati s. Not long since I overheard a young j man say that he would not vote for a j certain candidate because he refused to j give him money with which to buy j whiskey. Can it be possible that some mother's boy has fallen no low? There is an old saying that "every tub must stand on its own bottom.*' The same may be said of political cam paigns. We have but one campaign at a time and the present campaign has nothing to do with the ones in the past. Vote for men who will be a credit to yourself and your county, is the advice of FATHER. Shippen, Pa., Oct. 10, 1901. It is .Strange, Passing Strange. Editor - The Independent says, it is strange and somewhat inconsistent, that women should attack the liquor traffic only about election time. Has it ever occuredto the Independent that this aversion to the traffic at this particular time, is probablj- aggravated by the fact that beer wagons are never so fre quently seen on our streets, both 'light and day, as they are at this present time and have been on the eve of on election during the past four years, nor are so many poor drunken men in evidence on our thoroughfares—both on Sundays and weekdays—nor as many violent deaths, directly trace anlc to this cause, as during a period covering the two months before an election.

McCloskey, who lives in the part of Sinnaniahoning called by that good old Bible name "Jericho." It was Mr. McCloskey's forty-sixth birthday, and the occasion was a successfully complete surprise. His first intimation of it was when he heard the sudden, pleasant sound of music, in the parlor, by the Sinnania honing band of which he is an enthu siastic member. The band was royally treated to a splendid supper of many good things, including ice cream. Mr. McCloskey is a generous and whole souled brother and shall have a long and grateful remembrance of the pleas ant occasion accorded him. A QUEST. Would not Vote Against His Business. "To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN." Under this heading I find an article in the Independent of October 13th, which is said to have been written by a Hotel man, and which the above named paper says, "points a way to the cor rection of the abuse of the traffic," and I certainly think that every good citi zen agrees with this Hotel man and the paper publishing it.and in fact such a law was passed by the Legisluture of 1903, and approved by the Governor, and is No. IS9, recorded on page 257, Laws of Pennsylvania of 1903. How about the attitude of the Inde pendent's candidate, Hon.F. X. Blumle, toward this Bill, which points the way to a correction? The Legislative Ro- ' cord, Vol 11 of 1903, shows that this Bill canio up for third reading and that the gentleman in question placed him self on record as "absent and not voting," or in other words he "dodged" the Bill, which permits a blood relative 1 or overseer of the poor to serve such a notice on a saloon keeper. Mr. Blumle was present at the same session and is i recorded on other questions. READER. BRIEF HCNTION. There are no rats in the piano, .Mil e.

Don't ask the editor to write up 1 every evil work and rebuke every evil ! in the town and community, says the North East Breeze, but when convict ed that such duties need attending to, write an artir-te f>r the paper yourself and sign your name to it for pablica- , tion. The man who is too big a . coward to thus express an opinion is • the very one who will stand on the 1 corner and talk loudly about the-' cowardice of the editor. In the Indepandont. of this week, the ' political writer conveys the idei tiia ; Democrats and Republicans alike t >.>k j an undue advantage Of Hon. F. X Blumle, by asking him, as early as last \ March, whether he would be a caudi \ date, as public opinion had no: crystal- j lizod yet. The same writsr also very j kindly states, that he doaa not c.ira to 1 name a time for the holding of the R; ! publican County Convention, for | which forbearance the Republican j voters of this State aid ennty should ! feel deeply grateful. For his informa- ! tiou we st ite that the holding of thesj conventions is not governed by Mr. Blumle's candidacy, but by the date of the holding of the State Convention. The entire article certainly is a slur up on the manhood o" the Independent's candidate. There can be no question as to the truth of the fact that Mr. 1 Blumle stated to a number of influen- I tial Democrats, and to Republicans I alike, that he was not a candidate, that j "he had a mind of his own, and could ; not be forced to be a candidate, and j that his word was as good as his bond.' These facts are subject to proof at any j time. Yet the crystallizing of public j opinion seemed to have this very ef- I feet, and Mr. Blumle proved too weak j to resist the pressure brought to bear | upon him. Nothing Definite. It has been rumored in town for sev eral days that our genial citizen, Mr. Thos. H.
