VOL. LXX XIII. HALL, PA. T EMERY CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS, Weil Known Bradford O11 Man maters the Contest For Congress and Asks the Sup- port of the Republican Party--Bellever in the Roosevelt Poliotes and the ¥qukre Deal, The following statement was given to the press by Hon. Lewis Emery of Bradford and is self-explanatoty. The regulation announcement as a candidate at the approaching pri: maries, also appears in this issue. Mr, Emery says: 0 the Voters of the Twenty-first Con- gressional District of Pennsylvania : I take this occasion of announcing myself as a candidate for Congress, sul ject to the decision of the Republi- ean voters of the 21st district at the primaries to be beld June 4th, 1910 It would hardly seem necessary for me to explain my position on matters pertaining to the interests of the peo- ple, as I have been connected with the politics of Pennsylvania for more than thirty years, and during several years of that time I have represented my constituency in the Brate legislature, And for all of these 30 years during which I have been before the publie, my name has been synonymous with clean politics, reform and the square desl. In sll that I have done, I have endeavored to uphold the principles of my party, although I have many times been obliged to fight those in the party who have been seeking private gain, rather than party and publie good. The role of reformer, thirty years ago, was far from being a pleasant, or even'a safe one. More than ordinary courage was required in those days to persevere in the narrow road of reform and to surmount the obstacles placed in the way by enemies within and without the party. NEVER A DOUBTFUL POSITION, The fight has been a long and bitter one, but my position in the fleld has never been a doubtful one. I have ever stood for principle and have met my opponents squarely, in the open. Maspy times I have gone down to de feat. A few times [ have won against fearful odds ; but never have I lost courage or hope of the final triumph of a just eause—the cause of the peoole as against corporate control of politics and business. Never have I ceased to fight for just laws for the regulation of corporate power and illegal combi nation and I have always been in ac- cord with the policy pursued by Theodore Roosevelt. Bo long have I fought the good fight and so intimately have lI been con- nected with the great questions agi- tating the people of Pennsylvania, to- day, that I feel I am justified in ask- ing you, the voters of the Twenty- first district, for your hearty support at the primaries in June, My business interests are large and my time is valuable, but I am willivg to give my time and means to your interests, However, I wish to be plainly understood by all, that if I am accorded the nomination I seek, I shall be glad to pay all lawful expenses of the campaign which will follow But, I shall not be willing to conduct a vote buying, boodle campaign. STRICTLY ON HIS MERITS My record in business, and politics daring the past thirty years is an open book which all may read ; and I desire to go before the voters in this cam- paign on my merila. Ia conclusion, I wish to state plain- ly that I shall make no pre-election promises, either directly or Indirectly, to any man that he shall be appoint. ed to office if I meet with success in the primaries and at the general elec- tion. I reserve to myself the priv- ilege of going into vifice with an open field for future action. Upon the forgoing statement [ re- spectfully ask for your hearty support, Lewis EMERY, JR Bradford, Pa., Maren 15, 1010 C—O sen The Borough Statement, The borough statement appears in this issue of the Reporter. The ex- penses of the laying of pipe from Lau- rel spring to the reservoir, snd the re. modeling of the reservoir itself, have been pretty heavy, yet the treasury shows a surplus of over five hundred dollars. The cost of lighting the streets, while small compared to the expense of the seme service in other boroughs, at first glance appears high. The au. thorities, no doub’, would gladly re. ceive suggestions as to how this item of expense might be lessened, or how any other department might be con ducted with less cost to the tax payers, —————— I ——— Sapsreisors Organize, The board of supervisors in Potter township organized by electing James H.

From the Watchman : Harry Will- lamas, of Huston township, was arrest- ed last Friday and bound over for trial at court for furnishing liquor to a man of known iatemperate habits, Will- iams was in Bellefonte most of the day and so suspicious were his actions when in the company of a certain Ball«fonte man that the attention of the police was attracted. Finally he was seen go (oto a certain bar room in town and from there direct to the office of the Bellefonter., The police followed close after and upon entering and searching the office found a bottle of whiskey with two drinks missing in the bottom of the waste paper basket. [he liquor was confiscated and Williams was taken to the hotel where the bartender identified him as the man who had bought the bottle of whiskey only a short time previous. Williams was then placed under arrest and said he would be able to give bail al the ’squire’s office. At the barroom door the police stepped back to allow Williams to pass out first and think- ing that an opportunity for escape he jumped out onto the pavement and started down the street as hard as he could rup, Policeman Dukeman gave chase and caught the man before he had gone a square snd he then gave bail for his appearance at court, isc Raised Center Pole for Barn, The center pole, fifty-six feet in length, for the round barn to be erect- ed by Prof. C. R. Neff, west of the Old Fort, was raised Saturday forenoon by the Nefls and their neighbors. The pole was sel in a concrete base, and will extend fifty-two feet above ground, The baro of which the pole is the central support, will be round, and will have a diameter of almost one bundred fe«t. The work of construce tion, which will be done by Carpenter Aaron Toomas and assistants, will be commenced some time in May, A feature of the raising wes literally raising high in the air Prof C, R. Nef! and his brother William Nefl,. While the large pole wa: being put into position it leaked out that the Neff had reached sn anniversary, aud as soon as the maio object of the gather- ing had been performed, the husky peighbors put bigh in the sir the twins, who fifty years ago first saw day lignt. —————— A A AA The Wheat Fields, When the soow and lce first die- appeared, the wheat flelds had =a rather promising appearance, especial ly when the uafavorable conditions were considered. During the past three weeks, the prospects for a crop decreased fally fifty per cent. The flelda that were partially green have turned brown, and there is little life lefc in the plants, It will require the most favorable weather conditions be- tween this and harvest time to nurse back the wheal plants to a degree of perfection capable of yielding a crop. The April rains, however, ofttimes work wonders, and they may perform a highly beneficial work this year on the wheat plants. The farmer and consumer at least hope so, A PAS Lecture Course Accouat. The commitiee representing the Centre Hall Lecture Course, met at the home of Rev, 8. A. Soyder, Fri- day evening of last week, and closed its accounts for the season.
