KUR' SEVERAL SEEKING CONGRESS | A New Candidate Will be in the Field Legislative Material Scarce Reeder is now Dispenser of Pa- tronage. The following dispatch appeared in the North American, Philadelphia: BELLEFONTE, Pa, June 28. Judge John Gray Love is no longer the recognized Quay leader in Centre coun ty. Any mau now desiring a postmast- er appoitnment or any other Federal of fice from this county will have to go to Colonel Wilbur F. Reeder and get him to shake the plum tree. This is the result of Judge Love's re- | R C Thompson, farmer.. cent stand in the Gubernatorial fight, when he steadfastly gave support to the Elkin forces, instead of turning in and | working for Quay and Pennypacker. For years past every man who want- ed eyen a cross-roads post office was compelled to secure Judge Love's en- dorsement, and all the efforts put forth by the combined forces against him could not change his choice. Now things are different. declared he would stick to Elkin, and Colonel Reeder, following former Gover. nor Hastings, declared for Pennypacker for Governor, Quay transferred his prestige and power from Love to Reed- er, Whether all this 1s true or not we can not say. The general impression is that Reeder now is dispenser of federal pa- tronage. That certainly would be a re- lief to Judge Love. Judging from appearances there some hustle among ambitious local re- publican politicians for congress.» Clem- ent Dale, Esq., is making his second trip for this nomination, but this time there is a contest, because in case of nomination there is some chance of election. There are a lot of republican politicians in Bellefonte who will stand by Clem Dale loyally as long as there is nothing in sight; when there is, they would want it themselves. Our advice is for Clem to pay no attention to the roosters in Belle. fonte but appeal directly to the voters over the county. Stay in the race to the finish, and if you can’t secure the nomi- nation, you may be able to gather suffi. cient support to name the man, and in return gain control of federal! appoint. ments in the county. Stick to it, and if is you can’t reach the halls of Congress | you, undoubtedly, might land your brother A. A. Dale, Ex, as postmaster of Bellefonte, something that Bill Arnsld promised so faithfully, and then gave another, At the same time it would be a mis. take to discount Dr. |. M. Locke, who is after the same honor from this county. +A The Dr. is an enthusiast and a baustler, \ and appears to be planting political stakes thick and not going in the congressioual race for fua, to defeat anyone, only to advance himself. Heis a new factor in Centre couniy politics and we hardly know bow to estimate his vote getting capacity. While these two men are eying each other they probably are not aware that another “influential” county intends to step in the race soon and expects to elbow both Lock ot His announcement will likely appear this week republican in this Dale and out line, For Commissioner Ed. McKinley, of Milesburg, recent candidate for Pro thouotary. is making a lively canvass, and feels confident of the nomination Abraham V. Miller, the present minority member of the board, expects the party will extend him the somination as a party courtesy, He will make no can- vass of the county. John G. Bailey, a Ferguson township farmer, is also after this place. As but two men can be nominated one will surely get left, and it is rather uncertain as to which one will fall by the wayside. J N. Sciwonover, of Philipsburg is'the only republican announcement for As. | sembly. That looks as though the fa- mous John K. Thompson would not trust to go again before the people, fear. ing a severe set-back. It is strange that Hon. Wm. Allison does not appear in this field either, of a republican representing this county in the next Legisiature, For the other offices there are no con. tests, the candidates being : Sheriff, Henry Lowry, of Bellefonte ; Treasurer, | 4 Philip D. Poster, of State College; Re- corder, Henry H, Hewitt, of Philipsburg; and Wilbur F, Reeder a candidate for re-election as chairman of the county committee, The republican primaries are an. wounced for Saturday, August 2nd. 4 Send the Centre Democrat to some rel. ‘ative or friend during the Campaign, for 25 cents to Jan, 1903. {| TM Gramley, dairyman { Potter Walker, farmer | John Haugh, merchant | | Grant Hoover, insurance agent. , Bellefonte | ] John (irenoble, | William Myers, farmer.
