Few men nn gifted with the true
judicial mind and temperament and
thorefoie the scales of Justice ate not
always held with an oven, steady hand.
When a ('(immunity finds a man who
has been marked by nature with all the
attributes uf a true Judge it ought to
cherish liini. Such a man has this com
munity found in Jurtfie J. W. Carpenter
who was appointed by Governor V. A.
Stone to (ill the vacancy caused by the
icslguatlnii of Judge R. V. Archbald.
When Judge Archbald left the bench
of the local court to take a seat on the
federal bench the judicial qualities of
Attorney J. W, Carpenter at once at
tracted attention and Governor Stone
was urged to appoint him. One of the
strongest petitions received by the gov
ernor came from Air. Carpenter's fel
low niembei.s of the Lackawanna bar,
the men with whom he associated and
practiced during the quarter of a cen
tury he lias been at the local bar. This
petition which had such great weight
with Governor Stone was signed by the

scribed course of study there he went
to the Muhslleld State Normal school,
whrie lie showed the natural aptitude
for ucqitlilng knowledge which marked

1 and quality of mind, the .h ciiis Unit of

of the law sprang naturally in his evenly-poised
mind. A iinrtor of a century

mnved to thi1! city wheie he ha, lived
ever since.
-Modest and unassuming although a
stalwart Republican, ready and willing
to assist in carrying out the policies of
that party and electing its tickets, be
was never identified with any faction
nor was he a candidate lor any otllce.
His studious and Industi Ion-. hnhil
gained for liini the ic-peet of all bl
pioCcssional and personal associates
and caused them to recognize in him an
aullioiity on fundamental and statu
toiy law. The bench as well as the
bar have thought to highly of Judge
Carpenter's ability and Impai ti.illty.
that, for a number of enis, lie has
been aiiiniinted lefeiee and arbitrator
in cases Involving (.(implicated legal
questions.
The yoiiuber inenilieis uf the liar
always found in him a fi lend ready to
advise them In questions of doubt, and
his many at ts of klndnc-.s of this na
ture have made liini grcnll.i blii ved by
them.
Born to jiarents of humble position
Judge Carpenter's aflillalions and syni-
pathles have alwayw bur-ii with (ho la
boring classes, ills curly life of toll
brought lilm Into (ontact with them,
and ho knows tliclt needs and sympa.
thlx.es with their alms and purposes us
only a man with such an experience
can,
For fifteen yeiits Judge- Carpenter hits
been a resident of the Thirteenth waid,
and his neighbors and ft lends who have
had an opportunity to know his happy
doiuestlo relations, and pute, earnest
and helpful lite aie as laudatoiy of
him art u citizen as mo his piofesslonal
brethren at the bar of his proressloual
standing and leaiuliu;.
When the late Judge (itiuster was a
candidate for re-eloctlou. many of
Judge Carpenter's friends In the Re
publican party were anxious for him
to become n candidate against Judge
Glllislcl, but the friendship that had
always existed between Judge Gun.ster
and himself wits so strong that he re
fused to listen to their pleadings and
he ivon ndldutu.
In lium when the death of Judge Ouii
ster ninth a vacancy In the court. Judge
Carpenter was a candidate for the ap
pointment to succeed lilm, but ne
quleseed gracefully and cheerfully In
the Judgment of the bar In the selec
tion of lion, John P. Kell.v.
I'pon tile (icatlou of the new Federal
Dltrlct and the appointment of Judge
Archbald to that court, tin- leading
members of the Bar of Lackawanna
county, without legard to party attll
lations. united In the petition lo Gov
ernor Stone, asking for the appoint
ment of Attorne.s J. W. Carpenter. The
high standing of the ninety-seven gen
tlemen who signed that petition was
such that Governor Stone could not af
fotd to Ignore their recommendation
and he raised lilm from tin advocate
at the bar to the judge on the bench.
Never was a better appointment made
by Govei nor Stone.
Such in brief Is the history or the
able, modest man whom the Republi
cans of Latka wanna county present
as their candidate for Judge. Willi n
lecoul that Is spotless and spei lal

as are possessed by few men. Judge
Cnrpcllioi deer, os the vote of ever.v
man who Is ititeiested ill maintaining
(lie high standard the judiciary of
Laokawnniin enjoys. The voters run
no risk of making a mistake In select
ing Judge Carpenter. He Is on Un
bend!, be lias been tried and lie has
demonstrated to ever.v thinking man In
the county that be ought to lie kept
in the position he fills with such dis
tinguished abllltj.
Following are expressions of op
inion concerning . lodge Carpenter from
members of the Lackawanna bar-
E-Judge W. 11. .lessup So far as
mj experience III practicing before
Judgi Cnipelitor goes, 1 din testify
lieely and unreservedly to bis belntr a
aood judge He has a judicial mind is
stiaightlorward in his actions, and
does not hesitate to lake up any re
sponsibility that confronts lilm. lie
iHivv(.vMs exceptional qualities lor the
position he Is occupying. I was not
mtii'h acouainled with him befoie his
! elevation to the bench, hut since 1 have
had opportunity of observing him close
ly, 1 have come to be well pleased with
tile milliner he conducts the business of
Uie courts, and with the capacity and
ability lc has displayed.
Ex-Judge Henry A. Knapp Fiom
what I know of Judge Carpentei's abil
ity as a krwyer. and lioni what I have
s-eeu of his conduct since he has taken
his scat on the bench, I have no doubt,
if elected, he will make an abb-, uptight
and conscientious judge, and one who
will give satisfaction to Ills constitu
ents. W. S Dlelil Judge Cai pouter should
be elected because he Is eminently fitted
for the position and In every way en
titled lo it. Ilu is an honest, capable
man, a le.'ii ncd lodge and possessed of
the temperament so essential to the
boin h. lie Is a man whom J consider
lo bo a jurist in all the word implies.
One of his qualities marked and ad
miied by the attorneys who have prac
ticed betoie lilm Is his patience in list
ening to an argument 'Without inject
ing interruptions. This, any lawyer will
tell you. Is highly important to thu
law or and his client. T can see no
reason why a Republican would hesi
tate to vole for Judge Carpenter. lie
Is Illliug a position belonging to the
Republicans and should be continued
111 it. A Democrat was placed In On
position vacated by the late lamented
Judge Gunster. The same Mile ot eeptity
and ethics should be applied in Judge
Carpenter's case as was applied In the
case of Judge Kelly.
District Attorney W. It. Lewis Judge
Carpenter should 1 lecled because
he i- a capable and honest judge and
In every way fitted for the position
and In should not be defeated because
there Is no good leason why the Democ
racy should have a ninjnrlt. ol the
bench In a Republican count.
Charles II. Welles Judge Caipenier
is a good straightforward man, a call
able judge and free from alliances that
might detract from his ability m be im
partial. City Solicitor George M. AV.ilson T
am satisfied that Jndiio Carpenter is
one ol the best equipped men Hint has
ever been a candidate for the judgeship
III this county. He bus been tiled and
not found wanting. He discharged
every duty faithfully and well. As a
Republican be Is eli'tltled to the support
of i very Republican' voter In the coun
ty, and II he iceelves that he will be
elected b.v an overwhelming miijiiilty.
A year ago the people said the minority
should have a repiesentatlvu on the
bench, Do tile Democrats now expect
the people will say that the minority
should have a majority of the bench'.'
Assistant City Solicitor D. J. Diivif
The majoilty of the voters of this
county arc Republican and Judge Car
penter is entitled to their votes. Ho
has proved himself eminently qtialllled
to bo Judge.
sslstant District Attorney W, Gay
leird Thomas 1 cannot sec tiny reason
why a change should be made In the
picsent excellent bench of Lackawanna
county, Judge carpenter Is a thor
oughly competent, clear-headed lawyer
und certainly proven to be of the tim
ber f i oiu which good judgc are made.
From tho time of his ndinlssdln to the
bar ho has beep a close, diligent stu
dent and a hard worker. One. tlilni;- that
especially commends him for the judge
ship is Ills fairness. He Is onif who will
treat all men alike, Ah we all know,
Judgo Kelly was elected with the help
of a great liuiny Republican votes,
These votes wen solicited and given on
the ground that the minority was en
titled to one Judge. The minority has
what It claimed It was entitled to.
There s no reason why tho majority
should give It more, This Is u Repub

Judge, the maturity of his mind and
his fairness, impartiality and prompt
ness uf decision, far hurpasseil my ex
pectations. T, F. Penman No Reiutblkun can
reasonably excuse himself for not vot -

EDWARD A. JONES,
Candidate for the Office of County

County Controller Edward A Jones,
who 1s a candidate to succeed himself
for thai m w- and important olllce, is
peculiarly a man of the people. He

Olyphant, being' a nephew ol the gen

miners and leading , iti.ens of the
upper valley.
When a meie boy Controller Jones
began work In the old No. I breaker
at Olyphant. He continued in the
mines, climbing from one position to
smother until he finally became fore
man of the Raymond Coal company.
This position he resigned to accept the
appointment to the eontrolletshlp. As
an evidence of how lie was regarded
by the men over whom he had chaise
it is only necessary to mention the big
demonstration in his honor conducted
by the mlii"rs of Archbald, when he
was tinuouiicod to bo the governors

mine foreman In thu Liukuwuuna val

every one with a sense of fair play,
that Mr. Jones would be deprived of
this olllce just when lie had gotten it
in i tinning order. However, there will
In- no occasion lot such l egret. Mr.
Jones' election Is assured.
This is tin- first time for Mr. Jones
to go befoie the people. His known
popularity and worth occasioned fie
eiuent invitations to lilm from the
party to enter the lists for a county
olllce, but he always declined. Now
that he is in the Held there is a sur
prise in stoic for those not acquainted
with his standing up-tlie-valley par
tieulaily, but also over the whole coun
ty. Olyphant and Archbald will cast
what can be practically regai ded as
an unanimous vote for him. Carbon
dale will give him one of the biggest,
if not the vers' biggest, majorities a
Republican county candidate ever se
cured, and In Scranton, in addition to
getting the solid vote of his party, he
will have the votes of hundreds of
long-standing peisonal and business
friends and other hundreds of new

The candidate for the ofllee of coro

of trying experleivces In the position,
and dining that time has been called
upon to pcrfoim autopsies, hold In
quests and conduct some of the most
Important cases In the history of Lack
awanna county. No personal saerlllce
was too much for lilm to make In per
fuming the duties of his olllce.
Dr. .1. J. Roberts was born In Car
narvonshire, North Wales, and was
the son of a wealthy land owner there,
lie lecelved a first-class college educa
tion and later took two courses In
medicine In a university lu Glasgow

appointment as physician for the work
men at the great stone qiianl's ow in d
and operated by Hugh W, Huglirs. nt
Wesl Piiwlet. Vt.
These quarries aie located In New
York and Vermont, and Hughes was
familiarly known as the "Quarry
, King." Dr. Robeits' appointment win
the first of Its kind among quarry own
I crs and corresponded with .similar po
sitions held by physicians with the
coal mining companies. In isss he
came to West Scranton and shortly af
terwards purchased the good will of
the large practice of Dr. II. I. .Tone?,
who departed shortly afterwards for
Wales.
Dr. Robei ts, by his application and
ability, soon Increased his practice
enormously. He also purchased Dr.
Jones' tine residence nt U2S South Main
avenue, where lie and his family have
since continued to reside. In 1800 Dr.
Roberts took two special courses, one
in medicine at the Unlveislty of Ver
mont, and Hie other In surgery at the
Jefferson Medical college, Philadelphia,
He has always been a stnuncli Re
publican and Is an active member of
the West Side Central Republican club,
a member of the West Side hospital
staff. Lackawanna council, Royal Ar
canum, Robert Morris lodge of Ivorltes,
Knights of Pythias, Hyde Park lodge.
Free and Accepted Masons, and the
West Side board of trade.
Dr. Roberts was first nominated for
the office of coroner at the Republican
county convention held in the county
court house on AVednesday, Aug. 31,
1S9S, when the now famous Crawford
county rules for conducting primaries
were adopted. He was nominated by
it large majority.
He was elected on Tuesday, Nov. S,
lS'JS, with a plurality of l.R.'S votes,
having received a total of ft.SOri votes,
while Dr. Saltry. Democrat, received
7,1147: Dr. Troverton, Prohibitionist,
L,0S5, and Dr.i Szlupas, Socialist Labor,
received 173 votes.
Dr. Roberts was the unanimous
choice of the Republican party In Lack
awanna county for re-election, and was
unopposed for tho nomination. During
his term of office he has 'performed the
duties of coroner with great faithful
ness and his acknowledged skill as a
physician and surgeon has placed him
in the first rank of his profession.
Dr. Roberts Is a strong candidate and
his friends confidently expect him to
receive a much larger majority thai'
he did three years ago.
GEORGE E. STEVENSON.
Candidate for the Office of County
Surveyor.
George E. Stevenson, the Reptilillcni
candidate for county surveyor, lias
been a lifelong resident of Lackawanna
county and a consistent Republican
since he first became a voter twenty
years ago. He has served the party
faithfully and has served the pconle
of the township and borough In which
lie lived In the ofllces of school director
(for three terms), assessor, justice of
the peace and councilman, to all of
which ofllces he was elected without
the solicitation of a vote In his own
behalf.
Ills father, Samuel Stevenson, was ,i
civil engineer, who llrst rami Into the
Lackawanna valley In the early llftles
as one of the englneeis on the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western rail
road then building. George E. Steven
son was educated in the public schools
of Aliiugtoii and at the "Gunery" In
Washington, Conn., finishing up at Cor
nell university, Ulinca, N. V. After
leaving the university, he decided to
follow thu profession of his father, and
began work in the railroad engineering
department of tho Delaware, L.icka
wnnna and Western. Ho assisted In
building the Erie and Wyoming Valley
railroad and tho Scranton branch of
the Ontario and Western. Ills work
has not been limited to Pennsylvania,
however, for he has nutdo railroad and
land surveys In New Jersey, New York,
Arkansas, New Mexico, Mississippi,
etc,
For the past term ho has filled the
position of county surveyor of Lacka
wanna county, dining which time be
originated und Installed tho present
system of Irrigating the court lious,
dawn, which has piovcd so economical
und ellleleni, He has also had a new
style of highway bridge adopted by
tho county commissioners, which re
places the vvooilep doors of the ordinary
'on bridge with nil Indestructible steel,
roiie.li u anil stone lloor.
He Is n i an advocate of good roads,
. ml hub succeeded In Introducing a,
method of see ut lug- them, which Is lu
successful operation In his residence
town, Waverly, Pa. The voters oB
Luokuwaiina county, of all parties, may
feel sure that the duties of the county
surveyor's otllce will be faithfully per-,
formed by Mr. Stevenson.
His opponent, M. P. Mitchell, wits Um
Prohibition candidate three years ago,
and Is the nominee of the Prohibition
party today. Why he- should ho tho
nominee of the Doiuocr.itlo party we do
not know, as lie was a Republican prior
to his conversion to Prohibition. Wo
believe that thu Intelligent voters of
Ijirkuwannu county of all parties will
join in giving Mr. Stevenson an over
whelming majoilty on Nov. S next.
