V
high personal characteristics and In
domitable fighting qualities stood him
in good stead and he won out! In his
district In good style.
During his term In the legislature he
was appointed to and served with dis
tinction on a number of Important
committees of t'hat body.
Mr. Beck was n6mlnated three years
ago for this same office of register of
wills, but was defeated because of the
sympathetic feeling that was dominant
among the voters for his opponent'. But
with loyalty unshaken he accepted this
reverse with good-humored philosophy
and buckled on the armor of party ac
tivity with undiminished energy. This
year amid a considerable number of
candidates from various sec.tlons
throughout the county Mr. Beck as
pired successfully for the same place
on the county ticket, and it is due him
as a recognition of former services no
less than as an obligation of party reg
ularity that he should receive the un
animous vote of his fellow partisans.
by the last speaker of the house, Mr.
Parr. Mr. Reynolds, having made the
preliminary campaign in his district, Is
naturally well acquainted with the
vast majority of the voters, and is
known favorably by all. He Is Inde
pendent In many of his political be
liefs, though he always was a very
consistent Republican, and his memor
able contest to retain the popular bal
lot at the Republican party's primaries
here evidences his skill in debate. He
believes in allowing the individual
voter to decide the issue. If t'he voters
are not able to settle any question that
may come up Mr. Reynolds believes
popular government to be a failure.
To send him to Harrlsburg In Janu
ary next means the placing of a man
.there who will do all t'hat lies in his
power for this city and county. Both
will then need special -attention. The
new city charter and the possible con
tention over the fee system, bot'h of
which may require legislation, will tax
the capabilities of the best men at the

to which will undoubtedly be added
many votes cast by others in compli
ment to his sturdy qualities as a citi
zen and as a man.
He is a man of firmness, sagacity
and forethought, liberal in his views
and tenacious in his opinion, and pos
sesses the attributes that make a good
citizen and a successful official. Hav
ing kept his standing in the party at'
all times, whether successful as a can
didate or defeated, the Republicans of
Lackawanna county are now deter
mined that Mr. Beck shall receive the
honors and emoluments due him at
this election.
THOMAS J. REYNOLDS.
One of the most conspicuous now in
the legislative field here Is Thomas J,
Reynolds, of the First Legislative dis
trict. He has the distinction of being
the candidate of his party In the sec
t'lon made famous in being represented
state's law making seat. Mr. Reynolds
is a very careful observer of events
and will be able to judge correctly just
what will be needed by the city and
county in both Issues. As much legis
lation goes by place on committees,
and these come as party favors, the
prudence of selecting a man who .will
line-up with the dominant party now
suggests itself to the voter. Mr. Rey
nolds is a Republican and the next or
ganization in the house will undoubted
ly be of that kind, hence the wisdom
of selecting him. Then there are many
measures relating to this section which
Mr. Farr could not complete at' the last
session, and a man must be sent from
his district who will be able to hold up
his end In bringing these matters to a
successful and early Issue. The West
Side hopital needs attention, and with
Mr. Reynolds In the favor of those who
will control the organization nothing
can go amiss in that connection, Do
not allow yourselves to be fooled by

idle jingo, but ally yourselves to the
interests that serve you best. There
are many additional circumstances
which go to make Mr. Reynolds the
man to be favored at the polls, but for
the present enough has been said to
clearly indicate that. A careful can
vass of the voters of the district makes
it clear that he will be elected in No
vember by a substantial majority.
However, do not be over sanguine, as
strange things happen around election
time. See that your ballot goes into
the ballot box for Thos. J. Reynolds,
and remember you have not done your
duty until you vot'e for him next
month.
