Elk county gives 926 majority for
Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
The Result.
The greatest campaign in the history
of this county since 1876, has resulted
in a wonderful victory for the Republi
can party, far beyond the expectation
of the most sanguine. The result in
Cameron County, giving Roosevelt
and Fairbanks 824 majority, given by
any county in the State according to
the population. The people of this
glorious country emphatically declar
ed against free trade and soup houses.
It was a maguificent endorsement.
In the county the election of Mr.
Josiali Howard to the legislature by a
majority of 103, after one of the most
warmly contested battles, is a credit to
the oitizens of this county. "Vindica
tion" was the cry and one not familiar
with the circumstances would think
the editor ot the PRESS was the candi
date and not Mr. Howard. The result
is very gratifying to us, we can assure
you, and thank our friends in all sec
tions of the county for their loyalty.
We have won and all Republicans can
afford to be magnanimous to the
enemy. "With malice toward none
and charity for all" we go onward to
future efforts for the advancement of
Cameron county.
Tha defeat of Dr. E. 0. Bardwell for
County Treasurer, is deeply deplored
and regretted, the genial Dr. being a
very worthy candidate. While this
was his first venture in county politics,
he made a manly, clean and honorable
campaign. His defeat is no discredit
to him and he will remain as ever the
same reliable Republican and genial
gentleman.
Careless Voting.
The great number of spoiled ballots
and errors of voters who placed the X
in the column for Presidential Electors
and failed to mark County Treasurer
and Member of Assembly evidently
defeated Dr. Barclwell. The combined
Republican and Democratic vote for
President was 333 in excess of that cast
for Supreme Judge and 200 more than
the combined vote for Congressman.
If it wasn't for that elephant that
jackass could get up.
Married.
Mr. Freeman Baird and Miss Lillie
Farrell, of Sinnnmahoning, came to
Emporium on Tuesday and promptly
appeared before his honor, Squire Lar
rabee, who neatly and expediously
joined them for life. The happy
couple were congratulated by their
friends.
'•ln Silent Numbers" the Voters Talk.
The voters of Cameron county have
"vindicated" the idea that they cannot
be trusted to vote correctly and that
their franchise can be purchased for a
song or at any price. Our faith has
been greatly strengthened in the abil
ity of our citizens throughout the
county to discriminate between "vin
dication" and revenge.

the aherican star.
I am pleased to acknowledge the'receipt of such good will and courtesy from all the
people of the county whom I met during my canvass of the districts. I am only sorry
that I could not get around to see everybody; and am more than pleased to express my thanks
for the confidence of the majority of the voters as indicated by the election.
It will be hard to more than half-way live up to the high standard which the writers in
the PRESS have promised for me, but I have no private pledges to keep nor personal grudges
hold against anyone and shall do my best to be the representative of the whole people, irre- :
spective of party or creed, and trust that you will all unite with me in peace and good-will to i
try and make the "Star" shine. 1
Verv trulv and thankfully j Jiirs,

Try It.
An exchange speaks of a man who it is
said always paid for hia paper a year in
advance. As a result he has never been
sick in his life, never had corns on his
toes nor toothache; his potatoes never
rust, his babies never cry at night, his
wife never scolds and he succeeded in
serving three years on the school
board without being cussed.
First Signs.
The first signs of having taken cold
are a chill or shiver—a scrapy throat
or a sneeze—a disposition to perspire
and always that tired feeling.
A few doses of Dr. Humphrey's
"Seventy-seven" will restore the
checked circulation, start the blood
coursing though the veins and break
up the cold.
"77" will also break up Colds that
hang on and do not yield to other
treatment.
"77" cures Coughs, Colds, Grip, In
fluenza, Catarrh, Pains and Soreness
in the Head and Chest, Hoarsenes,
Sore Throat, General Prostration and
Fever. All Druggists, 25 cents each,

We don't believe in crowing over
our defeated friends. We'll let these
roosters do that.
The Country is Republican.
The victory of the President is far
more than the success of a man It is
the answer of the United States to
those who would keep the Nation in
leading strings and coop it up within
its continental seas.
It is the answer to the Democratic
plea that this is a white man's coun
try.
It is the reply to the advocates of
tariff smashing, whether they pretend
to be careful revisionists or believers
in the doctrine that protection is rob
bery.
It is a fresh commission to the
bravest of Presidents to undertake the
mighty task of bringing industrial or
ganizations surely within control of
the law.
It is notice to the world that we in
tend to manage the Philippines until
they are ready, in our judgment, for
independence.
It is the recognition and approval of
the splendid policy of promoting the
world's peace by arbitration agree
ment so happily inaugurated and eo
rapidy proceeding.
It is the strongest evidence that in
telligence rules in the United States
and that falsehood, mudslinging,
charges of dishonor brought against
honest men and the entire round of
arguments of vituperation are wholly
unprofitable.
It is the final judgment of the Nation
on Hillism.
It ia the most emphatic condemna
tion of Bourbonism.
Lecture at Howard Siding.
Next Saturday evening, Nov. 12, in
the school building at Howard Siding,
Mr. Fred Julian will lecture on his trip
to the "Oriontial Countries." Mr.
Julian's lecture is not only very inter
eating but is highly instructive -it is
an educator. lie will also have with
him many articles which are fine speci
mens of foreign workmanship and skill.
These alone are worth the small price
of admission that will be charged. Af
ter the lecture, refreshments will be
served.
