Good Lord, bow “prosperity” is made to fall to the lot of the trust gang and multi. millionaires all the time ! Tue political fight in Clearfield coun. ty is more than red hot. The storm cen. tre is the election of a judge, to succeed Cyrus Gordon, Judge Gordon is a can- didate for re-election. Itis charged he bas been a politician on the bench more than a judge, He evidently did not view the lofty place he held in accord with the lofty declaration that Judge Jonathan Walker gave utterance to when he left the bench for a higher place in the judi clary, in bidding farewell to the people of this district many years ago when he was president judge including the terri tory of Clearfield and Centre. In last week's Historical Review in the Demo- crat, will be found the memorable words of Judge Walker, From all accounts Judge Gordan was not the sort of a judge that the eminent Walker said a Judge should be. among trusts stock gamblers which ons stockholders lured in unless | | PARTISAN RULE’S | Treasury Plum Tree Shaken For the Benefit of Men Who Lead Against All Movements For Honest Government, fourteen million dollars money | Nearly the taxpayers’ three gs | states Republi and trust f this nn "ms i Governor Hast- would be hoard its eive no iIn- terest upon it than to suffer the AY 8- tem which he saw continuing.

Publication of all the other deposits 1s enforeed. however, and it shows that most of the favored financial Institutions have each one or more persons in the man- agement who are either conspicuous machine workers or are in a position to command favors from the Republi- can leaders, The other depositories are practically bribed through the use of the state's money to be blind to machine misrule in Pennsylvania and te repel all efforts to win assistance from them In moves to make the gov- ernment honest. These bribed de positories not only keep oud of reform agitation themselves but also Influence wide circles of friends and acquaint.

The foregoing facts throw some light upon the resources and methods of the city machine, which, according to the leading Republican newspapers of the state, has included $0,000 fraudulent votes In Its returns of a single elec- tion.

Other state depositories there are the North Amer. fcan Savings Company, and has as vice president Francis J.
