RICH, President PENNSYLVANIA DEVELOPMENT COMPANY GENERAL OFFICE: BELLEFONTE, PENNSYLVANIA BELLEFONTE, PA., October 28, 1908. HARRY KELLER, Treasurer T0 WHOM IT MAY CONCERN : Injurions stories have been circulated for political effect during the closing days of the present campaign, seriously re- Ilecting upon the integrity of Mr. J. C. Meyer, one of the can- didates for Assembly, in connection with a business transaction between the Penna. Development Company and Mr. Wm. Decker, of Walker Township. : The stories have been circulated, as we have been in- lormed, for political influence and effect, by persons personally interested in the defeat of Mr. Meyer for Assembly and not by the Iriends of Mr. Decker, and we regret fo say that it not only injures Mr. Meyer politically but professionally, as well, which is unjust. For the benefit of the general public, who we believe want the truth, we desire to say that from our personal knowl- edge of Mr. Meyer's part of the management of the Penna. Development Co., in the said transaction with Mr. Decker, he dealt fairly and manfully, even to making himsell personally re sponsible to the Company for Mr. Decker’s liability. We do not belong to Mr. Meyer's political party and there is no politics in this statement, but it is only fair and just to Mr. Meyer that the public know the truth, This state- ment is made voluntarily and without any solicitation from Mr. Meyer. DON'T TAKE ORDERS From Ex-County Officials Who are Acting the Part of Political Judases and Have No Party Standing. It is scarcely necessary, yet it might serve a good purpose to say to the Democratic voters on the Bouth side of Centre county DON'T TAKE ORDERS from ex-county officials who may demand that you vote for Bert Taylor, the Republican candidate for assemblyman, or any other Republican candidate, Chis thing of trying to make the Democratic party in Centre county a family plaything is ridiculous. The Democratic party is not solely for the political advancement of the Taylora—there are others. That family has been served the full. Democratic voters, don’t take orders. If you are asked to vote for Bert Taylor or any other candidate on the Republican ticket by some Demo- cratic ingrate who would appropriate all the bevefits of party organization to his relatives, resent it. Point the floger of scorn at any one who will betray the party solely to advance the interests of relatives, Don’t take orders from ex-county officials, Tell them, if approached to vote for a Republican, that you will be governed by the principles advocat- ed by them when they were the candidates of the party—that the candidates fairly nominated are entitled to the support of the party organization, and furtber that the man ( no matter who he ia ) who held office at the hands of the Democratic voters in Centre county, and now is using his influence, di- rectly or indirectly against any Democratic candidate, is an ingrate of the worst type — a political Judas —and never should have received partly recognition, Don’t take orders.

The Buperior Court of this state has just recently passed upon two cases in which interested parties suffored great loss by the carelessness of the recorder, The first case came from Clearfield county, and because the recorder had failed to properly Index a mortgage, #0 that when a search was made the rec rd did not show that the real estate of the mortgagor was covered by a morigage, the vendee, or purchaser from the mortgagor, therefore believed he was purchasing an unencumbered property.

Worthy Master Bachelder Condemns the “Ship Subsidy” Bill for Which Barclay Voted—Walker is the Friend of the Farmer, You Should Vote for Him. Speaking of ship subsidy, the Worthy Master, N. J. Bachelder, in his annual address before the National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry in 1907, at Hartford, Conn., said : SHIP SUBSIDY. The power of organized selfish interests working to secure appropria- tions by Congress of public funds for private purposes, was shown again by the House of Representatives in passing the notorious Not- withstanding the fact that it was made clear to the members of Congress that the farmers of the country are strongly opposed to legislation granting Ship Subsidy bill satisfactory to its originators and with many of its worst features eliminated.

I am advised that the ** Ship Subsidy '’ advocates are planning to be- gin another campaign of misrepresentation in favor of their scheme, and as their project for securing millions of public funds is evidently well financed, they will doubtless be able to get a certain following in Congress. To keep the hands of the subsidy hunters out of the United States Treasury, it is necessary that the mem- bers of this order take immediate action by writing to their Senators and Repre- sentatives that a vote for subsidy legislation is a vote against the public interests. — [ From Journal of Proceedings of the National Grange, p. 14, ( 1907 ).] EXAMINE BARCLAY'S RECORD.

He opposed giving the necessary money for the farmer's benefit. proof—( see Congressional Record, page 4459.) VOTED FOR SHIP SUBSIDY. Charles F, Barclay, the representative from this district, is not in sym- pathy with the farmer or the grange. He represents corporate wealth. In Congress he invariably cast his vote in that direction. If you will turn to the Congressional Record you will find —on pages 6500, 7070 and 7186 —that he repeatedly voted for this gigantic steal. . If Barclay is re-glected and this measure comes up again he will support it. Every farmer and every member of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry is urged to read again the above warning from Worthy Master N. J. Bachelder.
