NAGINEY OR BEAVER ?
The electors of Centre county will, on
Tuesday of next week, by their ballots
decide who shall represent them in the
next legislature, Before arriving at a
conclusion each voter should give care-
ful consideration to the candidates,
Frank E. Naginey and Thomas Beaver,
Thomas Beaver is the organization
candidate of the Penrose Republican
machine in Centre county and was solic-
ited by the Republican triumvirate,
Quigley, Scott and Chambers, who de-
‘cided to defeat the Hon. Ives Harvey
for a renomination after he was prom-
ised he should have no opposition. Har-
vey voted for the prohibition amend-
ment and was not obedient to orders is-
sued by this trio. Beaver is their can-
didate and not the candidate of the peo-
ple, and will respond to their orders and
not to the people generally, whom he
would be supposed to represent,
Naginey is unhampered by any 1nflu-
ences except the wants and needs of
Centre county electors whom he pro-
poses to represent regardless of creed,
faction or party.
General Beaver, the father of the
handpicked candidate of the special in-
terests, held public office for a quarter
of a century with good pay. Naginey,
or his family, have never held public of-
fice.~ Will you give Naginey a chance
‘instead of heaping all the offices upon
one family ? Consider and vote accord-
ingly.
REPUBLICANS AND THE FAR-
MERS,
**During the eighteen months the Re.
publicans controlled the Senate and
House, they failed to make adequate
appropriations to take care of the agri-
cultural interests of the country. In the
last Congress, with the Republicans con-
trolling the Committees on Agriculture
in House and Senate, they reduced the
appropriation requested by a Democratic
Dept. of Agriculture over seven million
dollars, and reduced the appropriation
provided for by a Democratic Congress
approximately two million and a half
dollars. They cut out and reduced ap-
propriations that were necessary to pre-
serve the livestock interests of the
country. They refused to provide ade-
quate appropriations to encourage and
aid the American farmer in the product-
ion, conservation and sale of his crops,
“Senator Harding -was one of these
conspirators in the Senate against the
American farmer, and while we of the
Democratic party receiving the hearty
co operation of a Democratic adminis.
tration were making the fight for weeks
iu the American Congress to prevent the
present conditions against which the
American farmer and stockman are now
striving, Senator Harding and his react-
ionary Republican friends in the Senate
and the House were challeaging our
every statement and obstructing our
every effort.” —Senator Pat Harrison,
COX THE PROGRESSIVE.
{From the Springfield Rebuplican)
There were no followers of Mr.
Roosevelt in 1912 more sincere and zeal-
ous than Mr. Ickes, Bainbridge Colby
Matthew Hale, Jobn M. Parker, Judge
Ben Lindsay, Francis: J. Heney and
George Rublee. The fact that they are
all with the Democrats as against Hard-
ing this year indicates the choice that
true progressives must make as between
the democratic and republican candi-
dates.
Mr. Harding's election could pot pos-
sibly promote progressive causes,
Governor Cox is pre-eminently the
more progressive of the two candidates,
His record as Governor of Ohio is the
record of a progressive or it is nothing
And no one can dismiss as negligible
Ohio's laws for the protection of women
and children in industry, for working-
men's insurance, for the protecticn of
widows and orphans, for the protection
of workers’ health, prison reform, school
reform and budget reform.
There is no possible doubt about the
prospect of progressivism, If the coun-
try wants reaction it won't elect Cox.

WOMEN DEMAND THE LEAGUE
i. OF NATIONS.
Women, running true to form, are
championing the League of Nations be-
cause, as usual, they are trusting to
their instinct, and instinct tells them
that this proposal is the only safeguard
to peace.
But by far the most important
vision, and of this we hear little, is the
proposal to disarm the world, The
financial burden which this would lift is
enormous. Men fully appreciate that
93 per cent of all Federal appropriations
are made for war, past, present and fut.

armament does not mean so much a
ig in money. It means that by

wire carrying 22,000 volts of electricity
and fell to the ground, sustaining injur-
ies which caused his death.
The accident occurred last Thursday
afternoon. In company with his broth.
er, Phil, he was picking apples. He
saw some very fine fruit at the top of the
tree and told his brother to stand on the
ground while he picked it and threw it
to him, so that the fruit could be pre-
served without bruising.
After several apples had been tossed
to him Phil heard his brother groan and
saw that he was swaying. Before he
could go to his assistance Elwood fell
striking on his head, He suffered inter-
pal injury and his back was broken mn
two places. Although the wire carried
voltage enough to have killed him ip-
stantly, a small burn on his right hand
was the only evidence of contact with
the wire.
He was taken to the Bellefonte hos
pital, where he died at 7 o'clock in the
evening. He was conscious when ad-
mitted to the institution,

‘Messengers of good cheer”
the Galbraith Brothers style themselves,
and the title is no misnomer. Their va.
ried program of music, sense, nonsense,
and philosophy, appealed to the big aud-

by hearty and liberal applause, Their
musical numbers ran the gamut from
the sublime to_the ridiculous, and of
those in the latter class, their burlesque
on “The Sextette from Lucia” was pos.
sibly the most uproariously funay,
Their singing was principally with guit-

blending of their voices places the Gal

good singers.
All in all their program was clean and
wholesome, and there is small wonder

Pennsylvania Day At State
Nov. 6th.
The annual celebration of Pennsylva.
nia Day at the Pennsylvania State Col.
lege, will fall this year on Saturday,
November 6. and plans are already un-|
der way by students and college officials
to make it the "best ever.” In spite of
the fact that over 1500 alumni were
present for the recent Alumni Home
Coming celebration, scores of graduates
are expected to return for Pennsylvania
Day, adding their share to the event,
The Home Coming was such a great
success that the alumni unanimously
voted it an annual fall feature.
The largest crowd that ever attended
a Pennsylvania Day at State College is
expected, The fraternities will hold
house parties, and visiting parents and
friends of the students will swell the at-
tendance to thousands. The student
cadet regimental review will be held in
the morning, and a prominent speaker
will address the college guests prior to
the University of Nebraska football
game, The college glee club will give
its first concert in the evening.

THE LEAGUE AND COVENANT.
A MESSAGE TO EVERY AMERICAN,
Written for The Centre Reporter by
Dr. Averep Brirry, Chicago,
In olden times, and in fact through all ages, even to the present day, the
greed and unscruplous actions of men operated highhanded., Will men ever learn
to more earnestly reason together for the betterment of humanity, the peace, tran-
quility and greater progress of the world? Reviewing the more recent past sheds
deep gloom over the future unless greater reason takes possession of many of us,
pointing out the way te higher and nobler things. :
A League or Covenant, a sincere agreement based upon reason and recti-
tude, aiming at higher and better things in National and International matters—
such a thing cannot be wrong.
The following historical events and epochs proved efficacious by and through
the forces of Covenants and Leagues.
NOAH THE PATRIARCH and Creator were leagued together to save a
remnant of the human race at the period of the great deluge.
KING KHAMMURARBI, foremost monarch of ancient Babyjon, author of the
world’s first moral code, writer of the precept, ‘Strive after righteousness and
PEACE, the highest estate for man and supreme desire of God "
ABRAHAM, the first Hebrew of the world, formed a Leage and Covenant
with Jehovah to establish a new race of people, a higher order of humanity upon
earth,
MOSES, the great law giver, in his moral code,
“Thou shalt not kill !"
CONFUCIUS, one of the foremost teachers of the world in bis wonderful
moral bible, written soo B C.. first announced to mankiad the Golden Rule.”
JESUS, THE CHRIST, Redeemer of the world, ushered in the era of “Glad
Tidings to all men”, The corridors of heaven echoed and re-echoed the joyful
anthem sung by heavenly hosts when the Son of God was born, ushering in the
era of **Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men.”
EMPEROR CONSTANTINE, by establishing a “League’’ among the relig.
ious factions of his great empire, extending throughout Europe, giving the “Sun
worshipers” of the North and others the ‘Christian Cross,” and in turn giving the
Christians and others in the South the SUN-GOD of the Sun worshipers as their
object of worship, cast aside the SEVENTH day of the week as a day of rest and
worship established by the Creator and ordained the FIRST day of the week,
Sunday, as the day of worship, an era of peace
and tranquility, subduing the warring religious sets throughout his realm, which
lasted until his death,
THE CONSTITUTION of our Republic is the instrument by and through
which our separate states were united and leagued together into a great nation.
No greater, more success{ul Covenant were formed by mortal man. It will po
doubt stand the test for which it was created for all time
GENERAL ULYSSES 8, GRANT, victorous and
Civil War spoke the memorable words : *‘Let Us Have Peace I” No more timely
and forceful utterance was made. It had the potential effect ot establishing order
and fraternity between the North and South,
Any * Leng 1e” for the promotion of Peace and harmony among men is heay-
en-born .
Any “Covenant”
vinely ordained.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, America’s foremost and wisest political and patriot
ic apostle and prophet said—"It is unwise to swap horses in the middie of a
stream.”
The foregoing array of Covenants and Leagues enacted by the world’s men
and the Almighty, together with the great precepts set forth should convince any
rational being that a League toward the establishment of world peace must be
right,
May the electorate of the world’s greatest Republic take council together be-
fore making a final decision regarding the proposed world League of Nations and
Covenant. May we not be led astray by the chatlerings and frothings of ambit.
ious politicians whose sole desire seems to be to bring discredit upon our illus
trioud President and his notable achievements and to win the necessary support to
gain control of the Government. Had the American electorate acted upon that
Lincoln precept and not 'swaped horses in the middle of the stream” and unwise:
ly elected a Republican Congress in 1918, President Wilson would have been en-
abled to complete his great work so auspiciously begun and carried forward suc
cessfully for six years during which period more beneficial legislation was enacted
for the classes of our citizenship who, for a long period of years, have been at the
mercy of the money autocrats and the great work in his grasp resulting from
the world war would now be successfully consumated., Electing an opposition
Congress hashad the effect of delaying peace work thus far. But for that disaster
the League and Covenant would now be in force, backed by the nations of both
hemispheres, and a permanent world peace be established
The interference of selfish, contrary politicans at the time of a serious inter.
national crisis is damnable work. Here lurks our present trouble. The unscrupu-
lous, ambitious Republican conspirators who are the Nation's chief demonic dis-
turbers at this moment, most of them political flunkeys and mere fossils, eager for
power at any price, these, and not the League and Covenant are the present Na-
tional and International unpatriotic disturbers,
Will our National electorate continue the hellish turmoil created by these po-
litical plotters by further supporting their work? Common ‘decency demands that
$0 great an error shall pot prevail. Ambitious, unscrupulous politicians are en?
gaged all over this nation to befog the minds of the masses to mislead them by
the despicable work of falsehood, intrigue and slander,
NAIL TO THE CROSS THE FOUL LIE THAT AMERICA MUST
SUPPLY SOLDIERS FOR EUROPEAN GUN FODDER. The only aim is
peace, blessed, holy P E A C E. When America finishes her noble work so ans.
piciously begun, an international league and covemant will be unanimously adopt.

Booze in Spill at Spring Mills.
The following article was sent us from
Spring Mills, reaching us too late for

Last Thursday morning at half past
five o'clock a trubk loaded with three
barrels of whiskey, valued at three
thousand dollars, ran off the state road a
mile and a half east of Spring Mills and
landed in the garden of Robert Musser,
Jr., narrowly escaping the house,
There is a steep hill in front of Mr. Mus-
ser’s residence and the State is building
a concrete bridge at the bottom of the
hill.
There were two men on the truck
which was running at a high ate of
speed, and wher they came to the hill
their brakes would not hold, and know-
ing the condition of the road they jump-
ed off, escaping injury. They concealed
the barrels of booze under a pile of
weeds, and in the afternoon several
men came and took the booze away

Letter from California.
In a letter to the Reporter, Mrs. Mary
K. David gives the following interesting
news to our readers :
**Mr. David and myself are nicely lo-
cated in our rew western home and like
California very much. This fall is love-
ly ; norain as yet. We came bere the
first of June and have not seen a drop of
rain fall but people say it is coming and
I tell them I will be glad to see it come,
**This surely is a wonderful country.
Long Beach is a beautiful little city

tourists, from the north east. There
seems to be plenty of work here. There
are three large ship building yards that
give work to thousands of men. They
also are building a new harbor,
Property is high and real estate boom-
ing. We find living conditions very
much the same as they were in Chicago,
with the exception of spending a big
sum for winter coal. We have not been
able to see much of the country as yet
but expect to buy a new car (I think it
will be a five-passenger Dodge), then
we can get around. I will hasten to
close by wishing all my friends in Old
Centre the very best.”
