THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 41. The Election of Emery |Would Be Detrimental to all Pennsylvania Interests. [A life long Republican of Pennsyl vania, known intimately to the pub lisher of the CAMERON COUNTY PRESS; whose first and last Presidential vote was cast for Abraham Lincoln in 1861, and for Theodore Roosevelt in 1904, bat, who, from the highest sense of duty voted for Berry for State Treasur er, writes a letter to the editor of this paper, which he takes the liberty of publishing withholding only the name of the writer:]—EDlTOß PRESS. PHILADELPHIA, SEI*T. 20th, 1906. MY DEAR MULLIN: As you know that I supported Berry year, because 1 believed it was my duty as a Republican to do so, 1 now write you—caring always for your good opinion—as to why I shall oppose Emery and support Stuart, for Governor, with all the influence I pos sess. You know I was among the first to suggest the name of Hon. John Stewart, for Governor. I regarded him as an ideal candidate for the Ropubli can Party of Pennsylvania, undar the new era of civic and moral virtue, and political reform upon which it has so auspiciously entered under the leader ship of the conscientious, and most succe3sful of all political Reformers — Theodore Roosevelt—and it gives me, an auti-Penrose Republican, pleasure to state that Senator Penrose earnest ly desired the nomination of Judge Stewart, wholly and absolutely without any conditions, expressed or unplied— the only way in which Judge Stewart would have accepted it. But a campaign of duplicity and treachery on the part of the self-styled "Lincoln Republicans," so infamous in its character that it ought to make the memory of Ananias, Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold quite respectable, by contrast, compelled Judge Stewart to refuse even to be considered as a candidate. The whole "Lincoln Republican" out fit—ambracing probably two hundred scheming, unscrupulous officer seekers i.i the State—from the highest and wealthiest millionaiare pipe-line layer for public office, to the meanest and trickiest bohemian among them, knew that if Judge Stewart should be nomi nated by the Republican party for Gov. ernor, Lewis Emery, Jr., would im mediately take himself out of the con teit, and that their inviting and neces sitous barrel of graft would be hooped up hard and fast and in consequence, they would have to return to honest work to eirn a living, and so they planned and conspired, day and night, h>w to make the matter so odious to Judge Stewart as to compel his with drawal. Their game of infamy succeeded when they secured a candidate for Lieuten ant Governor, and Auditor General from Chambersburg—the home of Judge Stewart— and because of that "Lincoln Repulican" infamy every honest man of whatever political faith, in Pensyl vania, ought to rise in righteous wrath against Lewis Emery, Jr., the benefi - ciary of that politicial and moral leprosy. I shall oppose with all my heart and soul the election of Lewis Emery, Jr., because while condemning with un bridled tongue and venomous pen the Republican party of Roosevelt, and claiming for himself all the virtues of the immortal Lincoln, Mr. Emery was, and still is, engaged with Israel W. Durham, and others like him, in a business enterprise of a semi-political character. I am opposed to the election of Mr. Emery because the most vindictive, and Republican-hatirfg Democrat in Pennsylvania—James Gay Gordon—is sponsor for Emery, and whom Emery would appoint Attorney General, in the event of his election to the Gov ernorship, next November. I resent with derision the Emery Gordon in sinuation that they are wholly pure, and without a single vice, and that the Republican party which they aim to destroy, is wholly vile, and without a single virtue. Judge Gordon—the venomous hater of the Republican party—was a law student of the late Lewis C. Cassidy, who for 25 years was the Democratic Bo« of Philadelphia, just as Gordon hopes to be the Democratic Boss, of Pennsylvania. During the Adminis tration of Governor Pattieon a vacancy occured in Common Pleas Court No. 3 of Philadelphia, and upon the demand of Cassidy, his protege Gordon was appointed to fill the vacancy. Soon after Gordon's appointment as Judge the High License law went into opera tion, which raised the rate of license from SSO to SI,OOO in Philadelphia, and- reduced the number of licenses from 5,000 to 1500 in that city. At that session of the first License Court, Lewis C. Cassidy established what ha 9 ever since been known as "Contingent Cases," that is to say Cassidy's fee for filing an application in an ordinary case and appearing be fore the License Court, in behalf of the applicant, say for five minutes only, was one hundred dollars, hit or miss the license; while] his fee in "conting ent cases" was §2,500, conditioned up on securing the license, and nothing, not a dollar, if he failed to secure it. That first year of the High License Act, Lewis C. Cassidy had twenty "contingent cap° a " °nd probably twice as many ordinary cases. He secured a license for everyone of his "contingent cases," but failed to land a license for a single one of his one hundred dollar cases. James Gay Gordon was one of the Judges of .that License Court which granted licenses to Mr. Cassidy in his 20 "contingent cases," and which secured to him a total of §50,000 in license fees. In this campaign I shall support Hon. Edwin S. Stuart for Governor because I have known him ever since he was 14 years of age; have seen him almost every week during the 38 years I have known him as '.an inherently honest man; known him as having no money making affiliations, or business rela- j tions whatever, directly or indirectly, with any political leader, firm, com pany or corporation in Pennsylvania known him to be thoughout all those years as dutiful a son, and as loving a brother as any wid >wed mother and orphan sisters ever had. I shall support Mr. Stuart for Gover nor because I personally know that he is earnestly and honestly in favor of the reform policies and purposes of President Roosevelt, and when elected Governor will fearlessly and iutelli gently promote those Reforms, just as L3wis Emery, Jr., ia in honor bound to support the purposes and policies of the Democratic party, whose candidate he is, and which party, here iu Penn sylvania, is oflicially committed to the nomination of Wm. Jennings Bryan for President, with all the dangerous vagaries and purposes Bryan stands for, and every vote cast for Emery the "Lincoln Democrat" candidate—is more than a vote in advance for Bryan for President, and no one knows that better than Lewis Emery, Jr., and the bohemian manager of his campaign, Geo. li. Mape3—his Secretary of the Commonwealth, should Emery be elected—and because of this, and the other fact that every vote cast for Stuart is an individual endorsement of President Roosevelt. I am writing you this letter to encourage you in your splendid work for civic virtue,and for economic and political reform that will be advanced by the election of Edwin S. Stuart to the Governorship of Pennsylvania. YOUR LINCOLN-ROOSEVELT REPUBLI CAN FRIEND. Grand Millinery Opening.

"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß. EMPORIUM, PA.. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1906'. Accident at Huntley. About 7:20 Sunday evening as Mrs. J. P. Sullivan was returning from call ng on friends she was struck by first No. 99, which was taking the siding to allow a fast freight train to pass. Mrs. Sullivan supposed the train was on the main track and continued to walk ahead of the train until struck by the cylinder of the engine, which knocked her into the ditch at the side of the track. She was thrown about six feet, striking on the side of her head, caus ing tv\o wounds in the top of her head and cutting her face from her chin to her lips, bruising her left shoulder and severely injuring her limb, where the engine struck her. She was taken to her home and Dr. Corbett of Driftwood was quickly summoned and did every thing possible to relieve her suffering Mrs. Sullivan was severely shaken up, besides receiving a severe nervous shock. Monday p. m. she was taken with a sinking fit, caused by reaction and for a time her life was despaired of but she was revived under the able treatment of Dr. Corbett of Driftwood and Dr. DeLong of Emporium and at this writing is resting as comfortably as can be expected. "Joshua Simpkins." "Joshua Simpkins" will be the attrac tion at the Emporium Opera House, Thursday evening, Sept. 27th. It i 6 said to be a well written pastoral play, with an interesting plot, the story being a happy blending of sunshine and shadow. The situations are said to be strikingly realistic with an overflow of fun and amusement. There are seven comedy parts; in addition to that of Uncle Josh, which character is a whole show in itself. A sensational novelty is introduced in the third act in the shape of a realistic saw-mill scene, in which a monster circular saw is used, and which is said to actually saw through real timber. A fine orch estra is carried by the company, a fir.e band of music, which will make *a burlesque parade. Prices 25c, 35c and 500. M. E. Sunday School. Will have a Rally Day Servica next Sunday, at 11:45 a. m. They aim to have 480 scholars present. Classes with every member present will be known as "Star Classes." One of the features, if the day is pleasant, to have as many of the 60 babies of the cradle roll and their m jthers present. A reception will be given them in the lecture room. Another feature will be a roll call of teachers and officers who will respond by quoting a passage of the scripture. A special program of responsive ex ercises, singing, addresses by T. D. Kaufflet of Virginia, and others, has been arranged to make Rally Day a bright and happy day. Fancy Goods. In connection with oar Millinery Opening we have one of the largest and best displays of fancy and staple goods to be found outside of the large cities. It is our aim to please ous patrons, in both goods and prices and therefore invite the public to come in during our opening days, Friday and Saturday, Sept. 28th and 29th, and con vince yourself that what we say is true. MRS. F. S. COPPERSMITH. Ladies Attention. Bread, cake and home-made candy for sale by the ladies of the Episcopal Church, in the Reading Room, Satur day afternoon and evening, Sept. 29th Also a small amount of rummage for sale in the gymnasium at the sam time. Concert at Opera House. The Emporium Baud are busy re. hearsing, preparing to give a concert at the opera house about the 20th of Oct. The boys are showing improve ment and deserve support, so give them a liberal patronage. Dance. There will be a dance at the opera house next Friday evening, Sept. 28th. Brehm orchestra will furnish the music for the occasion The public is cordi invited. Settled Up. W. H. Smith, constable and collector, of Lumber, came up last Thursday and settled up his duplicate in full, being the second collector to pay up this year. Pleasant Occasion. Hon. and Mrs. Josiah Howard enter tained a party of lady and gentlemen triends Tuesday evening, in honor of Mf. and Mrs. J. VV. Kaye, of West bora, Wis. Whist was the chief attrac tion. Dinner was served at McCann & Sterner's Cafe and greatly enjoyed by all present. Our Popular Candidates. The opposition to the Hon. Josiah Howard, has dwindled down almost to the vanishing point. The weak pue rille assault made on his record in the last legislature, has failed, miserably, and Mr. Howard stands forth upon that record, proud of his record and proud of his county, the peer of any man Cameron connty has ever sent te Harrisburg. It is no disgrace to have money, but it is a noble distinction when a man uses that money as Josiah Howard does to benefit the entire community in which he lives. Will some one kindly state just how much our county, or any other, for that matter, would amount to if it had no men in it like the Hon. Josiah Howard. For the good of Cameron county and the entire community, Josiah Howard should be returned to Harrisburg. What's the use of sending a demo crat to the legislature any way? No man living in Cameron county to-day knows what poverty is, bitter grinding poverty, better than Hon. Geo. J. Laßar. No man in the county has done more to help his friends in their upward struggles than George J. Laßar, and it will be a shame and a disgrace to the name of friendship if his friends do not remember him now. Why should he not get every Repub lican vote? and more! Why should any Republican vote against George J. Laßar? There is no valid reason and we do not think that they will. Mr. Laßar has never held a county office or asked for one until now. Why not give him a full term in the office to which he was appointed and which he so honorably fills? W. J. Leavitt is a native-born Cam eron county boy, is a deserving young, man, capable and affable; an ideal man for Prothonotary. Mr. Leavitt, is amply well educated for the position and he has friends from one end of the county to the other who will see that he is elected. A Venerable Visitor. Our old friend and venerable citizen, Mr. John Day, Sr., was a PKE3S visitor yesterday afternoon. Mr. Day has been a resident of Emporium since I860; is a remarkably well preserved man f.»r his age, being almost 81 years old, in fact will celebrate his birthday next Saturday. In spite of his advanc ed age and poor sight and hearing, he is still full of progressive plans for Em porium, believing there is a brighter future for our town and Cameron county. We enjoyed Mr. Day's call, his visits always being pleasant and lull of meat for thought. Would that we had more men like Mr. Day in Cameron county. "Joshua Simpkins." "Joshua Simpkins," a rural comedy drama which has been presented con tinuously for several seasons on the road, will play an engagement in this city at the Opera House, Thursday evening, Sept. 27th. "Joshua Simp kins" is a comedy drama, well acted by a company said to possess more than ordinary merit, in addition to which several pleasing specialties are intro duced. A complete orchestra compos ed as professional musicians discourse incidental music, which asßi«ts|to make the play the success it is. This feature is claimed by tlie management to be gilt edged, and, it is said, far exceeds the usual orchestra by theatrical com panies. Their fine band will give a burlesque parade about noon on the day of the engagement. Prices 25c, 38c and 50c. Sudden Death. Dr. Cbas. L. French, aged 48 years, died at Austin last Saturday after a stroke of apoplexy. He never regain ed eouseiousness after he was stricken, •48 hours previous to his death. De ceassd was brother-in-law of Hon. J. C. Johnson. He leaves a wife (formerly Miss Eva Warner, who made her home with her uncle and aunt air. and Mrs. Riley Warner, at Emporium), and six ehildreu to mourn his death. The fun eral took place on Tuesday at Couders port. NOTES OF INTEREST. Millinery shown at LUDLAMS to suit all tastes and all pocketbooks. 31-2t. The Methodist ladies will conduct a fair and rummage sale Dec. 13 and 14th. 32-2t. An immense line of the latest style belts at Mrs. E S. Coppersmith's.

For years the Republicans of ♦ .strict, have kept the judici .it of poli tics and for several terms endorsed Judge Mayer for President Judge. The voters of this district see in Judge Green a safe man for the position and will see that the Bench is kept free of partisan politics. Captain Barclay Elected. Capt. Clias. F. Barclay, accom panied by C. J. Goodnongh, visit ed McKeati county last week and like all other counties of the dis trict was received very cordially. His election is now coneeeded by all fair minded men by an increas ed majority over Mr. Dresser's vote. n he vote two years ago was Dresse. 18,281; Hibner, 8,559. Add to Capt. Barclay's vote the Prohibition vote, 2,407, will leave him the handsome majority of 11,129. Its all over but the cheering for Stewart, Barclay, Green, Howard, Laßar and Leavitt. Hip! State Senator Nominated. The Republican Senatorial Conven tion met at New Armstrong Hotel, Johnsonburg, last Monday, Sept. 24th, at one o'clock. The Conference was called to order when Mr. W. S Glea son, of Elk was elected Ch lirman; H. S Lloyd, Cameron, and E. D Gardner. Clinton, Secretaries Tna Chairman ordered the roll call after presenta tion of credentials, when the following were enrolled as delegates: Cameron —Sheriff J. D. Swoope, 11. S. Lloyd and Jos. L Wheeler. Clarion— W. Day Wilson, T. D. Spence, Jerome Young Clinton —E. D. Gardner, H. S. Satter ley, H. A. Leinbach. Elk— W. S Gleason, Fred ('. Harper, Jacob We'si. Forest —Dr. VV. G. Morrow, A. R. Wheeling, S. L. Pickens A recess was then taken until they could talk over the situation. When the Conference reconvened at 4:15 p. m., them the following names were placed in nomination for State Senator: John K VVilsan, of Clarion; Geo L. Miller, Clinton; W. A. McClure, Elk. Before proceeding with the ballot, Mr. McClure withdrew his name. After Clarion, Forest and Elk conferees cast their votes for Mr. Wilson, Geo. L. Miller withdrew his name at the same time requesting his delegates to vote for Mr. Wilson, which was done giving Mr. Wilson the unanimous vote. The best of feeling prevailed throughout. The nominee is a rising young man and popular in Clarion. He will make a fight for the election. Suggestions for the Housewife. In Isabel Gordon Curtis's helpful paper entitled, "The Progress of a Housewife," in the July Delineator, she gives some useful hints as to how to make the best of vegetables. Root vegetables, such as beets, turnips, carrots or parsnips should have moist, dirty roots and fresh tops. If the roots are very clean and tops cut J away, you may be sure the market j man has tried to freshen them. The smaller these vegetables are, the more ender. Parsnips and carrots require i scraping, except when they are young and]ttender. Turnips should be pared while the skin of beets should not be broken or the tops cut more than two ; inches above the beet, otherwise they ; will lose color and sweetness. When buying lima beans, choose green, juicy pods with small, finely | veined beans. Cook for one hour and a half in just enough boiling water to i cover. Add salt when nearly done. Drain off part of the water. Season with pepper salt and butter,and send it to the table piping hot. Btring beans, : are cooked in the same way after being strung and snapped. In addition, Anna W. Morrison gives a number of illustrated suggestions tor Novelties for Summer Feasts, and there are pages devoted to Banana Dainties and New Vegetables Cleverly Served. Bell Boy Wanted at Once.
