THE INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT
LAUNCHED YESTEKDAY.
Nomination Papers Taken Out by
Well Known Democrats No Oppo
sition to the Democratic Candidate
for Prothonotary Regular Party
leaders Are Discouraged A Bitter
Fight Anticipated.
Bpccl.nl to The Scrnnton Tribune.
Stroudsburg.Sopt. 20. Tho Independ
ent movement was launched today.
Nomination papers have been taken
out by ex-County Treasurer Simpson
Ketherman and Maurice Nuuman. Both
men are well known Democrats and
liave niled the otllco or county treas
urer acceptably year ngo. Fether
man announces himself as a candidate
for county treasurer and Nauman goes
on the Independent ticket as a candi
date for county commissioner. It Is
believed tlmt William I.. Andre, who
the Independent leaders had expected
to run for register and recorder, will
not be a candidate. There will bo
no opposition to the regular Demo
cratic candidate for prothonotary. The
present Incumbent, William P. Decker,
has tilled the ortlce acceptably and the
independent leaders will not run a man
against him. The regular Democratic
leaders In the county all ulong have
discouraged the movement and hoped
that their regular ticket would be un
opposed. The Republicans In tho present fight
between the Democrats are somewhat
divided. County Chairman John T.
Palmer favors supporting the Inde
pendent ticket In the hope that the He
publican party will he strengthened
In Monroe. Ex-County Chairman A.
C. Jansen also favors the Independent
movement. Other equally prominent
Republicans believe that the best
thine for the Itepubllcan party nt this
time Is to stand by tho regularly nom
inated Republican ticket. This is tho
first time for years that an Indepen
dent movement has been started. The
Democrats have had their own way In
tho county for years and will make a
bitter fight at the coming election to
elect the regular Democratic ticket.

REAL YOUTH.
When you see
a man old
enough to be
a grandfather
. pick up a
heavy
trunk' and
inarch off
with it on his
shoulder you
realize that a man
mav be vounir at
'almost any age if his
blood contains the
elements that youth
is mad of. That is
the sort of youth that
Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery puts into a man's
veins. It gives him digestive power; it
turns his food into good nourishing
blood; it enables the liver to keep that
blood pure and free from bilious poisons.
It fills him with muscular strength and
vitality. It makes him in the truest
tense young again, and keeps him so.
"I am prcdy well now, for a man of sixty-thtc-e
years." kays Mr. John Larson of Ashby,
Grant Co., Minn. " I had been very badly troub.
led for many years with dyspepsia, also nasat
catarrh, and cot to bad and weak that I could
col woric.
" I could liardlv eat anvthlni without vomit
Ing; had a pain in the utoinach and a burning
cnsatlon coming into the throat. I took Dr.
Fierce' Golden Medial Discovery and ' Pleasant
Fclleta,' and can truly say these medicines have
helped me wonderfully. 1 commenced taking
them in the fall and used them alt winter. I
took fifteen bottles of the 'Discovery1 and six
of the 'reikis' according to directions, and
must say mat noin are good noncsi meuicines.
" I improved right along from the very begin
ilnir. I lust ttoDoed taklnir medicine In the
latter part of May and then felt as welt at ever
in my life. I can eat all kinds of food and it
dosen't cause rae any pain in my stomach now
as it always did before I took Dr. Ilerce'ft med
icines. I can cheerfully say to the public that
they need not hesitate In taking Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery for dyspepsia; It
will."
. If you are In poor health write to Dr.
R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. It will
cost you nothing whatever for his advice
although be is at the very head of his
profession in the treatment of pbstinatc
chronic discuses.
