were taken to Republican headquarters
by County Chairman Harry Keller,
where an informal reception was held
during the forenoon, Loeal would-be
political bosses, aspirants for Repub.

among these were ex-Judge John G.

The meeting in the suditorium had
been widely advertised, and when the
hour arrived the candidates solemnly
marched to the platform, by
the Coburn band.
The following is copied from
North American, spd very truly re
counts the proceedings :
Beginning their up-State speaking
tour, ex-Mayor Edwin = cans
didate for Governor, other
State Republican candidates attended
the Grangers’ picnic in Centre Hall
and participated in a Republican rally
that was as dismal as the weather. All
counted, 181 persons listened to the
speeches, and that number, which is
only one-fifth of the plurality which
Centre county gave the fusion ticket a
year ago, included the candidates, re.
porters and twenty-eight women
The voters present were farmers, the
men who know political issues when
they arise, and the truth is that pope
of the candidaies contributed much to
their enlightenment. Briefly, the
theme of discussion was, ** Look what
the Republican party has done in the
past.” Mr. Stuart talked vaguely up-
on the subject of agricuiture,
Robert Murpby, candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, praised the Re-
publican organization from 1856 to the
present day. Robert K. Young, can-
didate for Auditor General, who de-
livered his flret speech in the came
paign, said the party had not done all
it might have done, but that a new
era was dawning. Henry Houck, the
nominee for Secretary of Internal Af.
fairs, told four ancient stories,
It was expected that a crowd of 12.
000 would attend the *‘big day’ of
the Graogery’ picnic, but rain in the
morning kept the attendance below
that. Mr. Stuart and his associates on
the ticket held a reception from the
time of his arrival, at 10 o'clock, until
the time of the rally, four hours later,
In that time they shook hands with
300 voters.
Mr. Stuart's handshake is a winner,

who tried it. The ex-Mayor has a»

Thanks, Headers, Thanks,
The Centre Reporter returns thanks
for the very liberal outpouring of sil-
ver dollars during the Encampment
and Fair. These dollars always come
on time, and in a short time some one
or other of the Reporter's patrons will
catch them floating in the business
channels.
The Reporter also wishes to say that
it hopes it added somewhat to the
comfort and convenience of those who
attended camp. The callers at its
quarters were many, sand these and
others are invited to return next year,
when it is hoped to enlarge the ao-
commodations for the public's benefit,

Stuart and the Farmers,
Editorial From Philad. Record.
At Centre Hall Candidate Stuart
made a powerful speech on the great
issue of the campaign-—-agriculture,
Hpeuking for the Republican party as
well as for himself, he told the farm-
ers that they were the bone and sinew
of the country, and without their
labors it would be almost impossible
for the rest of us to live.
It is true that we could sustain life
for a while on canned food, but Dr.
Wylie says that is slow poison, and in
the long run we must all beg the
farmer for food. He told the farmers
that their industry in this State alone
is worth more than a billion dollars,
and that it is wicked to defraud them
by selling oleomargarine, This power-
ful argument might be expected to
secure the entire agricultural vote for
Btuart—if the farmers were chumps,
They have heard all this before, and
will hear it from every candidate who
seeks their votes, Bat at the same
time Mr. Emery was telling the farm-
ers at Kittanning some things that
are very pertinent to the question
whether the Machine's power should
be perpetuated. Among other things
he reminded them that the Machine
had disregarded all the demands of
the farmers for the equalization of
taxes and didn’t even take the trouble
to promise it in its platform. .
The Grange library will be open Bat
arday from four to five o'clock.
