There is good evidence that the
Democratic voters are willing to con- |
tinue their trust in Mr. Kimport as |
county chairman. There must have |
been something very attractive in him |
to Democrats, and the Reporter be-
lieves it was his skill as a chairman to |
gather msjorities for Democratic can- |
didates that appealed to them. :

The Democratic voters of Centre |

Dreese from Centre county after fore |

candidate for state delegate was look- |
ed upon as a master political stroke, |
but the intelligence of the voters who
favored reorganization had been over- |
looked. All that is needed by intelli |

press themselves, and this opportunity |

VICTORY FOR REORGANIZERS,
The Voice of the Voters is the Voice of the
Party—House cleaning Will be Fiolsh.
od May 7h,
The sweeping, unprecedented vic.
tory at the primary in Centre county
and throughout the state on Satur
day for the reorgsnization movement
in the Democratic party of Penosyl
vanis, as represented by George W,
Gathrie and A, Mitchell Palmer was
not an individusl triumph, but the
triumph cf the people who are al
ways sound at heart, and who when
thoroughly aroused and under com-
petent leadership are always invinel-
ble.
Outraged by the climax of perfidious
leadership in the betrayal of the party
at Allentown, they took the manage
ment of their party aflairs into their
own hands, repudiating and deposing
the men who sold them out and trad-
ed off a sure victory, defrauding the
state out of a Democratic administra
tion for a period of four years, that the
Guffeys, the Halls, the Dewalts, the
Donnellys, the Judge Garmans, the
Ritters, and the Ryans might profit
thereby.
These men and their agents and
tools, with hardly a show of popular
backing except among their own de
pendenta set up a fraudulent claim to
the control of the patty organization,
which they vainly attempted to get
the courts to confirm, and which they
have refused to abandon, except in
pursuance of a disreputable deal plan.
ned by them, involving a sacrifice of
principal and an abandonment of the
cause of the people, as shameful as
that perpetrated at Allentown.
The luvariable auswer of the reor-
ganizers to every proposition for dick.
er and compromise, was that the
composition and control of the party
organization were matters for the
Democratic voters to decide.
The Democratic voters have decided
and their decision is so overwhelming,
#0 nearly unanimous, that there can
be no ehadow of ground for dispute,
or quibble or eavil.
The reorganizers have sald from the
beginning that the voters should de
cide at the primaries and that every
man worthy to be called a Democrat
would abide by that decision, and
they say so still.
The voters have spoken sand the
voice of the voters is the voloe of the
party.
Now the delegates elected by the
voters can go into one gcomvention
Tuseday, May 7th, ana finish up

On the seventyseventh anniversary
of the birth of Levi Stamp, of Spring
Bank, wh occurred on the 9th of

quite mildly, for Mr. Stump had no
suspicion of what was belog done un.

Trimming Fruit Trees,
T. C. Foster, of Lewisburg, one of
the fleld workers of the Department of
Zrology, was in the valley the first
four days of last week, giving atten.
tion to the several '* Model Orchards
selected by the state for demonstra.
tion purpose. At Centre Hall a large
number of trees were trimmed in the
orchards of D. A. Boozer snd 8. W,
Smith,
Mr, Foster is very much interested
in his work. He was born to jt—
caring for fruit trees, and says there
was never a Lime io his life when he
did not take an interest in the de.
velopment of fruits and the trees that
bear them. He is a very careful
“trimmer, "’ following each branch
to the tip, and when he has fluished
his work the tree is well shaped, open,
and no part of the tree is without
limbs and twigs upon which, if nature
does her pari, fruit may be borne.
