THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 41. Judge Green Backed to Sueceed Himself. Special to the Philadelphia Enquirer. LOCK HAVEN, PA., Oct. 13. —The most important factor in the present politi cal campaign in this county centers in the question, "Who is to be the presi dent judge in this district for the next ten years?" This question is the para mount issue. This county is to b9 the battleground of the contest between Judge B. W. Green, of Emporium, and Harry Alvan Hall, of Ridgway, the former the nom inee of the Republicans and the latter the Denjocratic-Linco'.nite candidate. It is conceded that Green will carry bis home county of Cameron by a large vote and that Hall will receive a major ity in Elk county. This leaves Clinton the bone of contention, with the out look highly favorable to Green. It is not a question to be decided by partisan politics. In the last two de cades the voters of this district have risen above partisanship in the selec tion of their president judge, and they should certainly be prepared to partici pate in the present campaign by the exercise of calm judgment. Judge Green was appointed to the vacancy in this| district by Governor Pennypacker,"and the facts that sur round this appointment show that, while Judge Green is a Republican, his politics was in no sense a factor in the appointment. The appointment was made on the sole ground of his fitness for the place —his legal fitnes3, his moral fitness and that mental cleanness that keeps a judge from wielding his powers in the promotion of a political machine and lack of which frequently debauches courts and becomes a travesty on justice. Since these were the qualifications that led to the selection of Judge Green as the presiding judge of this district, they should life his candidacy to a higher plane than that of a mere par tisanship. Judge Green is a clean, true man. He makes no public claims to a family tree that traces his genealogy back to a remote ancestry either on the male or female side. He claims to be an honest man, and than that no tree ever pro duced better or fairer fruit. Genealogies may be pleasant and interesting things to trace, but they may also begin in obloquy and end in shame. Judge Green is temperate, both in habit of life and thought. This quality, always a great and valuable one in any man, is of utmost value in an official who should always be available to his constituents and whose acts affect the life, liberty or prosperity of the people. If the people of this district want a clean, honest and capable administra tration of their courts they will elect Jadge Green for the full term. If they want to keep the courts out of the mire of politics they will vote for Judge Green. If they want to keep the administra tion of justice out of things more mirey than politics they will vote for Judge Green. If you want to meet a man who really says what he means and means just what he says, the chance will be yours on November Ist, 2nd and 3rd when Wilbur Symons, as leading man of Nick Russell's Big Comedy Company, will step on the stage of the Emporium opera house as Hosea Howe in "Peace ful Valley," the role made so famous by the late Sol Smith Russell. This will be the first time for this notable play to be presented at popular prioes, 15, 25 and 35 cents. There are five big vaudeville acts besides the play proper, including Nick Russell himself in his extraordinary piano playing act which has won for him the title of"the human pianola." Vote for Cameron county's dis tinguished citizen and business man— Oapt. Barclay. Captain O. F. Barclay, Republican c indidate for Congress in the district of which' McKean county is a part, ought to receive every Republican vote in the county, equally as well as the Republican candidates for the Assem bly. Much has-been said by President Roosevelt'and by the Republican press of the State upon the need of maintain- : ing an unbroken front in tliecontinued march of prosperity. It is a merited axiom that Republican policies and prosperity go hand in hand, and at no ! time in many years has the need for a j strict party vote been more urgent than at Jthe November elections this year; especially as the whole ticket, both state and county, is so absolutely > worthy[of support that not in a single j case are its nominees in doubt as to | their purpose, their honesty, their abil ity or 'their reputation. The whole ticket should be voted for the one abounding the business prosperity of everybody demands it. The people cannot afford to experi ment—Bradford Star. An Honorable Record. It is hardly to be expected that all Democrats will be suited with the Hon. Josiah Howard as a legislator, but his record in that capacity pleases the Re publicans right well. Mr. Howard voted against two of the | Erhardt bills and is so recorded in the archives of the State. Mr. Howard voted against the Philadelphia party often enough to (*lace his position as a i man of independence and stamina be- ( yond cavil. Mr. Howard is no traitor, as the down town organ kindly insinu ates. When anyone insinuates that Josiah Howard would do anything, either in private or in public life, to support or encourage vice in any form, or in any manner, then that man goes a step too far, for every hone3t man in Cameron county knows better, and wilt resent at the polls this effort to be smirch the fair name of one whose life | is an open book. Such a line of argu meut indicates that oar friend the enemy is in the last ditch. Mr. Howard prefers Pennsylvania to outside corporations does he? Well, what of it. The Hon. Judge B. W. Green. Aris Advance. The voters of the twentv-flfth judicial district, composed of Clinton, Cameron and Elk counties, will be called upon on the 6th of November to make a choice for a president judge of the dis trict to serve for ten years. It is of the utmost importance that the right man be chosen for this high office of honor and responsibility. It is an office that should be divorced from politics and the manipulation of politicians, with an axe to grind. A man with a clean rec ord and sterling character, one with legal attainments and a judicial mind; a man upright in his private life ana one who will administer the office in a way that will establish confidence and regard for the judiciary, is needed on the bench. A judge exerts a wide in fluence and should be a man with irre proachable private and public record, in other words the standard cannot be set too high for the man who aspires to the judgeship. Governor Pennypacker made a wise selection when he appointed Hon. B W. Green, of Emporium, to fill the va cancy on the bench in this district, caused by the death of Judge Mayer. He has proven in the few months he has been in office to possess the quali fications of an honorable, fair minded and just judge. Such a man as Judge Green is an honor to the judiciary and we trnly believe that the voters of the entire district will honor themselves by honoring Judge Green with a tri umphant election not by a meagre ma jority but by one so emphatic as will give a practical demonstration of the discrimination of the voters of the Twenty-fifth district. Capt. C. P. Barclay has always been an advocate of giving an honest day's wages for an honest day's work. And it has been more than a theory with his firm. In their business career extend ing over a period of forty years there has never been even a suggestion of a strike. C. B. Howard & Co., have received I from the Pacific Coast what is perhaps | the finest lot of RED CEDAR shingles i that ever came to Cameron county. j Practical ly all of Capt. Barclay'A life | has been spent in this county, except ! during elvil war days and the time he spent at school. He is in every sense ; of the word "a native product" and a representative type of the hardy, vig | orous and courageous Pennsylvania!).

An event of much social interest, be cause of the prominence of the con tracting parties, and notable for its beautiful solemnization, was the mar riage Wednesday evening at eight o'clock at the First Presbyterian church of Miss Besse Buckwalter and Mr. Richard Oldham Lackey. Promptly at the appointed hour the 1 ever beautiful strains of Lohengrin an nounced the coming of the bridal pro cession, which was led by the ushers, Messrs. James Wagers, Allan Young, I)r. M. Denny, of Richmond, and Mr. A. J. Buckwalter, of Mississippi, who walked singly down the side aisles, followed by the groom attended by Mr. William Dunne, of Lexington, while from Wie opposite aisle came the bride with her sister, Miss Nora Buck waiter. Rev. William Cumming was the officiating minister. The bride is a beautiful young girl, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Buckwalter, formerly of this city, but now of Wingate, Mississippi, and dur ing her residence here has endeared herself to all by her exquisite charm of manner and sweet modesty; her un j selfishness and gracious courtesies be | ing distinguishing features in her young life. She was elegantly attired in a costume of white panne crepe de chine over silk of fairy-like daintiness, with trimmings of Duchess lace and wore the regulation veil of tulle caught with orange blossoms. Her bouquet was a shower of valley lilies. Her maid of honor was attired in white crepe de chine with garniture of lace. She wore ! a pink sash and carried pink roses. } Mr. Lackey is a son of Mr. Mouroe j Lackey, of Waco, Madison county, and j a cousin of Judge J. M. Benton, of this I city. He is a thorough business young I man and is engaged in mercantile pur ; suits at Richmond. Socially he is very i genial and ie highly esteemod for his | many noble qualities ' Substantial evidence of the popular | ity of the young couple was seen in the number and elegance of the gifts received from friends. Winchester, Ky., Democrat, Oct. 5. The bride above referred to will be pleasantly remembered by many of our citizens. She was born here and like all members of her family was univer sally respected. The voters of Cameron county will show that Judge Laßar is entitled to an election for ten years. He don't want the earth and requests the people to carefully consider his claim for this j term. Not for many days have we heard as ; many favorable comments on a man as ! have been passed on the Hon. B. W. | Green since the present term of court. Men who have not met him personally and only know him as the judge of the court are satisfied that he is the right man for the place. "I believe he is honest," said one man; "his counten ance tells me that, and his prompt action in disposing of cases which are I especially for the betterment of the morals of your city and the county in I general is praiseworthy. He dares to do right and that's the kind of man we are looking for on the bench." This is the picture of Judge Qreen that has been painted over and over again to us by his neighbors from Cameron county. The citizens of Clinton county, regard less of politics, will stand by Green on election day because he is possessed of the right qualities for the office for which the people have demanded him to run.—Lock Haven Times. DEATH'S DOINGS. CUMMINQB. Mrs. Martin L. Cummings, widow of the late Capt. M. L. Cumtnings and mother of Thos. and County Treasurer John Cummings, died suddenly last Sunday afternoon, although her death had been expected for several weeks. Mrs. Cummings was in her 79th year, and came to Cameron county in 1878, rending at Cameron, where Capt. Cummings died Dec. lOt.h, 1879. rear ing a family of nine children—only the two sons surviving their parents. Twelve grand-children also live. Mrs. Cummings was a very careful manager and, by strict economy, accumulated considerable means. The funeral took place at St. Mark's Catholic Church, yesterday morning, from the aged lady's residence on West Fourth street. The following relatives and friends from out of town attended the funeral: P. H. Gallagher, Bradford; John Gal lagher, Buffalo; John and Mary Hayes, Renovo; Miss Agnes Creighton, Ridg way; Jas. Hayes, Olean; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Greenalch, Daniel Sullivan, Ed ward McFadden, of Cameron. Gone West. j Geo. F.

Notice to Jurors. | Jurors summonded for October Term, | 1906, should read notice in another column. Why I Will Vote for Hon. Josiah* Howard. Because his bill to tax State lands re- | duced our school tax about twenty-live | per cent. Because lie upends his energy and j money building up industries in his \ home county. Because he made his money in honest production, and, while he accumulated wealth, the whole community was made prosperous through his efforts. Because his business supports and does not destroy homes or cause them to be unhappy. Because he stands for a principle aud no man or set of men has a string on him. Because his methods of electioneering are elevating beyond criticism. Because he represents the best ele ment in society and is the incarnation of civic purity. Because he is a better Democrat than some of our little mud slinging editors who belong to the old bond jobbing regime and only vote the Democratic ticket when they have an axe to grind. Now I am a Democrat and I believe that the only way to build and main tain a party worthy thesupport and re spect of every good citizen is to shako off this element who are Democrats for revenue only. And I believe that the election of Mr. Howard would conserve to the best interests of our common wealth. Very truly yours, A BUYAN DEMOCRAT. Teachers' Institute. The 40th Annual Institute of Cameron county was formally opened .Monday afcernoon at 1:30 o'clock with prayer by Rev. Cleaver of the Meth odist church. After the devotional exercises. Miss Collins introduced Prof. Voder, of the Lock Haven Normal, who assumed the duties of mtisi* cal director, Miss Metzger, of Emporium, acting as pianist. Miss Collins in a few well chosen words made an address of welcome to the teach ers, urging also the great need of good and prompt attendance among the sixty-four teachers enrolled. In order that the Institute be properly opened. Prof. Yoder then called upon all to join heartily in singing America. Miss Collins follow ed the singing by announcing that since Prof. Jackson, of the State College, was not able to be in attendance, she would introduce Prot. Oreen, of the Westchester Normal, who won for him self, at once, the entire audlen.%; : y a must pleas ing address on "A Recipe for Beauty," although not an agent for any cosmetics. The professor's advice if faithfully followed could not fait in pro ducing the desired result, his recipe being the one given by the great German poet, t>oethe: Every day—hear some good music; every day see some good painting; every day—read some good literature. This was followed by music, and it in turn by an intermission of ten minutes. Miss Collins then introduced Prof. Howerth, of Chicago, who talked on"The Teacker's Art"—A good subject, well and ably handled,and listened to with marked attention by the teachers. The closing song followed and the first day was over. Tuesday morning's session was opened by prayer, Rev. Calvin of the Baptist chnrch lead ing. The entire assemblage then joined in sing ing, after which Prof. Green spoke on the "Ten Commandments for the Reader." These were concisely given as follows: 1. Take time to read. 2. Read authors, not merely about them. 3. Deal mainly with the great authors. 4. Select masterpieces. 5. Saturate your soul with song. C. Choose somewhat as circumstances demand. 7. Koriu your own library. | 8. Grasp firmly the thought of the book. 9. Let the imagination play. 10. "Learn, nor account the pang." A proof of Prof. Green's popularity lies in the fact that he was listened to with unbated interest for over on hour. Prof. Yoder led in singing and Prof. Howerth spoke after this on"The Artist Teacher." The applause that followed the an nouncement of Prof. Howerth's name gave ex pression to the regard in which the teachers and in fact the entire audience held him. His ad dress was pertinent and was listened to with rapt attention. The morning's session was ended by a brief talk from Prof. George Bccht, of the Clarion Normal, an old favorite of Cameron county teachers, who makes new and lasting friends every year. Prof. Becht's address was on "Live Teachers" and every word seemed to be a message to all to live, to avoid the stigma of "dead teacher." Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 sharp, the session opened up by ten minutes' music. All were warmed to the work in a few minutes and a volume of sound was produced. Prof. Howerth for the first period urged upon the teachers the advisability of taking care of one's health, since an ill teacher cannot be a good teacher. Prof. Becht followed with a most practical talk on "The Reading Problem." This talk cannot fail to make an impression on every teacher, the ad vice given was so clearly stated,thehelpinghints so thoroughly covered the case, that a noticeable improvement in this important branch of school work cannot fail but be the result. Miss Collins then introduced Prof. McCluskey, County Super intendent of Clinton county who gave an im promptu address of a few minutes in which he wittily recounted some of the difficulties he en countered in reaching Emporium. "A glance at ' American Poetry" by Prof. Green, finished the | second de.v's session. This address, needless to | say, was given the utmost attention by the j Professor's remarks. ' Judge Green Pleases Elk County. | Ridgway Record. President Judge Green is presiding ; over the Elk county courts this week in a very satisfactory manner. He seems to be giving everybody a square deal and those who have witnessed hie manner of disposing of the business of the courts seem to think he is making a good record. A vote for Barclay is a vote for con tinued prosperity and Republican prin ciples. TERMS: $2.00 —$1.501N ADVANCE. THE WEATHER. FRIDAY. Ruin SATURDAY, Fair SUNLIA V.

Harry Alvan Hall, the brother of J. K. P. Hall, the above named candidate for the Senate, is the nominee of the Dem ocratic party for the Twenty-fifth Judi cial district for President Judge and the Democrats are asked to support him, too, at the same election. These two brothers want both offices, that they may dominate the politics of both the senatorial and judicial dis tricts. Is not this rather greedy? Should one family be given these two offices ? It is up to the people to answer at the polls on November 6th. Judge Green should be elected for the full term, because he is a plain, modest man, who knows his duty and does it. We want a fearless, npright judge on the bench in this district and Judge Green fills the bill exactly. Let the judiciary of this district be kept free from politics,—Lock Haven Ex press. Edward E.
