Tener and His Accusers.
The cowardly conspiracy of money
hungry newspapers and office-hungry
candidates to discredit John K Tener
before the people has served one good
purpose. It has enlightened the hon
est citizenship of Pennsylvania as to
the mor.il qualities of me'! who, in this
campaign, as in other campaigns, have
pre«fnt<'d themselves as evangelists of
reform. Strangely enough, they have
fooled some of the people, who appear
to have a notion that a man in one
campaign can appear as an iudicted
b: ibe-giver and in another campaign as
a respecter of law and dpfender of"the
public interest." Theso same persons
also may believe that the ability of the
nimble citizen in office to put through
eccentric financial deals qualifies him
to disgrace the pulpit with political
harangue.
John K. Tener is an upright citizen*
He has the confidence of every man
and woman who knows him. Fmm
the day when as a lad he sought his
first employment he has had an un
broken business career of fair dealing.
He never handled a tainted dollar in
his life or countenanced a transaction
tliat was not above suspicion.
The Republican candidate for Gov
ernor has met his tradueers as any
other honest man who is falsely accus
ed would meet them When he fluish
ea with them there will not be a man
outside the sinister alliance which has
borne false witness against him who
will not say that he has spoken the
truth. Mr. Tener on the stump has
answered the charges of those who for
political purposes are willing to black
en his rbirr.ctcr. T r c wit! answer them
again in the court'- ' r h rr> the con
spiracy of his accusers will be fully dis
c osed. Mr. Tener frankly has submit
ted the fiotH and he will receive the
vindication his friends demand. Then
those who have bet u deceived wiil be
amazed at the discovery that what
they accepted as enlightened reform
was in fact stupid hypocrisy.
On November Bth an unusual oppor
tunity will come to the people of Penn
sylvania, an opportunity to elect as
Governor a man who is able, clean aud
honest, by an ind rsemcnt that will
violently repel the black hand methods
of a political vendetta.
Every voter in this State who be
lleves that the decalogue ought to
have a place ir, politics should cast his
ballot for John Kinley Tener.

"II 1 am elected Gov

this presence, to the

Berry's False Pretense.
The quackery of William H. Berry,
Keystone candidate for governor of
Pennsylania, in things political, is had
enough in all conscience, but far worse
in his false pretense with relation to his
services in uuearthing and punishing
the State capitol grafters says Pitts
burg Gazett-Timos. The use to which
Mr. Berry put this deplorable episode
in his campaigning for office tended
to impress the public with the belief
that he was instrumental in discover
ing the crookedness and was devoting
all his energies to overhauling the of
fenders. The fact is that he was re
peatedly appealed to by the newspa
per men to take notice of the affair be
fore he would touch it, and that all he
did was to employ the information
conveyed to him for his own particu
lar ambitious purposes. Nevertheless
it is upon his supposed intimate asso
ciation with the exposure of these
frauds that Mr. Berry lias lived, moved
and had his political being ever since.
It will be recalled by the readers of
The Gazette Times that the only offi
cial investigation of the capital frauds
was conducted by a special committee
of the legislature under instructions
from Governor Stuart, and out of the
inquiry grew the prosecutions which
afterward resulted in the conviction,
imprisonment and death of the guilty
men. The chairman of this committee
was former Senator John S. Fisher of
Indiana county. Mr. Fisher has just
addressed a statement to voters in
which he says, among other things:
"No citizen of the commonwealth of
Pennsylvania gave leas aid to that in
vestigation than did Mr. Berry, be
cause he did absolutely nothing. Af
ter the imvestigation commission was
organized, its first official request for
information and assistance was made
upon Mr. Berry. In his reply Mr.
Berry stated in substance that he knew
nothing that would aid the commis
sion and that be could no f refer to any
witnesses or give it any document
which would throw any light on the
alleged capitol frauds. lam now par
ticularly surprised at this confession of
ignorance ou the part of Mr. Berry in
view of his recent declarations that he
had spent large sums of money in hir
ing experts to assist him in making in
vestigations. Within one week after
Mr. Berry's confession that he could
not aid the commission by the produc
tion of facts, the commission itself
laid bare the whole fraudulent trans
action.
The truth is that Mr. Berry had the
evidence of the fraud stacked up all
around him and was oblivious of its
existence. Even a large number of the
vouchers given for the outrageous pur
chases for furniture and furnishings
bore the official stamp of Mr. Berry's
own approval, given after he had en
tered the office of State Treasurer."
There can be no legitimate criticism
of Mr. Berry for any actual part he
may have had in uncovering corrup
tion in connection with the capitol
building. Nobody wants to rob him
of any credit which is his proper due.
At the same time it is the height of
dem; gogium, not to say impudence
and false pretense for him to claim un
usual distinction for what he certainly
did not do. The moment that he real
ized that the Republican party and a
Republican administration were de
termined to bring to account all who
had been guilty of grafting, and all
who had been unfaithful to their trusts
Mr. Berry lost active interest in the
proceedings. In other words, it suited
his game to pursue the wrong-doers
as long as he could wring partisan ad.
vantage from such a course, but its
soon as he discovered that only the
public welfare was to bo served, that
crime was to be rebuked regardless of
the political predilictions of the uros
secuted or prosecutors, Mr. Berry's
zeal cooled off. Senator Fisher, there
fore, has done timely service in laying
bare Mr Berry's recalcitrancy at a most
critical stage in the State's history,
when the assistance of every cou
rageous official was needed in order
that justice might have its way.
Mr. Berry may be money honest.
His organs say he is, as if that were a
rare virtue and the sole requirement
of a man seeking high office. The
Philadelphia Record, a Democratic
newHpaper, referring to an Incident
tome years ago, touching certaia per
*on* now dead, wheu state treasury
funds were placed in a depository, so
that a third man might borrow there
from, says "if that was a crime it was

Stuart's Indorsement of Tener.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
For nearly four years Edwin S.
Stuart has conducted the affair of
Pennsylvania as its chief executive. In
the campaign of 1906 he was the Re
publican candidate for Governor.
Rarely haß there been a political battle
such as that was. Mr. Stuart had led
an honorable life, but that fact did not
prevent the villifiers of Pennsylvania
:ind the libelers of Philadelphia and
the agitators from assailing him on the
stump. The people were told that if
elected the State would goto the dogs;
that he did not own himself; that he
was the candidate of the "bosses,"
and as such must bow to them. All
sorts of evils were predicted
Not only was he the target for the
coterie of political highwaymen in
Philadelphia and the hypocrites in
politics eyerywhero to Are it, but men
entirely honest in their opinions—mis
taken, but honest—argued and voted
against him. Rudolph Blankenburg
was one of those who stumped the
State and did his best to defeat Stuart.
William H. Berry was active in his
denunciations.
What happened? The majority of
the people were not to be fooled. They
supported Stuart and he was elected.
And there has followed an administra
tion that has proved to be a model.
There is, and can be, no just criticism
of the Stuart administration. On the
contrary, It is admitted even by his
former fierce opponents that the Re
publican administration of the aflairs
of Pennsylvania stands without a
blemish.
To-day another Republican candi
date, pledged to carry out the Stuart
policies is before the people, and once
more the same agitation is heard
throughout the State Tener cannot
own himself, they tell us, just as they
said of Stuart when the latter was the
candidate.
Governor Stuart has won by splendid
service the right to be considered a
straightforward and level-headed man.
He knows just what estimate to place
upon the political frothings of men
with an itch to seize upon the govern
ment of Pennsylvania. He knows
how mistaken honest men may be. He
is in a position, through actual exeri
ecce, to size up the present situation.
When Governor Stuart speaks, he
speaks with sincerity, and when he
presides over a Republican meeting, as
he did over the tremendous ovation to
Tener, which aroused all Harrisburg
on Monday night, he presides because
he believes that it is the right and hon
est thing to do. When he says of Ten
er, as he did in his presentation speech,
"I am satisfied that he will do what he
promises you what he will do, and I
say that with all sincerity," he means
precisely that.
Governor Stuart has confidence in
Tener. And so have we.

Mr Lloyd'* prediction regarding
Pennsylvania in bated upon the hope
that many Republicans, aMsumlng that
the Btpabitaui tu ket W ture to win,
will neglect to vote and that others
may be deceived into voting the Key
stone ticket.
The Republican who casts his ballot
for the Keystone ticket muat do so with
hi* even open, tie mum know that he
is voting for a Hryan Democrat, who,
it elected, will do everything in hia
{inwer to advance the Interests of the
temocratW Party in Pea nay Ivanla and
i lie nation. He must know that he is
voting for Democratic candidates for
tin* Legislature, who, if elected, will
vole for a Democrat for United Htatee
Senator, and for Democratic candi
dates for tha House at Waahingtou,
who are pledged to Join other Demo
crat* in passing a fr«» trade tariff hill,
A vote for the Keystone ticket will be
a vote for the Democratic Party.
There ie not the slightest doubt of that.
