Rndkavor, Pa., Nov. 29tb, 1909.
My Dear Kditor: You are hereby
authorized to announce my name a a
randldate for Con grew In (lie Twenty
Kihth Congressional District of Penn
sylvania, auhject to the rules governing
the Primal y to be belli Saturday, June
4lb, 1910. N. P. Whkklkb.
Congressman Wheeler Replies to Mr.
Sibley' Letter.
Under diito of Feb. 13th Mr. Wheeler pave
out the following interview in Washing
ton, P. C:
"It is a free country," remarked Repre
sentative Nelson P. Wheeler of the Tw enty
eighth Pennsylvania district when con
fronted with the announcement of former
Representative Sibley of Franklin, Pa.,
that lie would be a candidate for the l!e
publican nomination for Congress. "It was
a free country when Mr. Sibley ran for con
gress upon several other occasions and it
lia-n't changed. Mr. Sibley was elected to
congress a number of times no matter what
ticket he ran on, and if he wants, to try it
again, well and good. I am not worrying.
I will he a candidate. It is for the people
to say whom they will choose. If they
don't want mo I will go back to my busi
ness and no harm done. I am in congress
at a considerable sacrifice. So arc most
men in congress. When Mr. Sibley decided
that he would not stand for a reelection the
nomination came to me. I was nominated
on my record as a business man. I have
done the best I could for my constituents
w hile here. I stand on the record. I have
known for a long while that Mr. Sibley
w ished to return to congress and was likely
to be a candidate. Men have been going
through the district for two months in his
behalf. Somemight say that they were
stirring up sentiment for him; others that
they were endeavoring to ascertain senti
ment. It doesn't matter which way it is
put. It conies to the same thing. When a
man like my competitor, as he declares
himself to be, decides that he wants to run
for 1111 otlice it is no trouble to find sutli
cient sentiment upon which to base an an
nouncement. "Mr. Sibley's expressed belief that 'pe
troleum even more than lumber is entitled
to receive some consideration from the
representative of this district' may he di
rected at me, as I am in the lumber busi
ness. It did receive my consideration.
I wonder if Mr. Sibley could have secured
better treatment for it. As for lumber,
everyone knows that a deep cut was made
in the duty. I opposed any cut in the in
terests of my constituents. The Twenty
eighth congressional district produces
more lumber and more material for wood
pulp than any other in the state. We were
able to prevent lumber going on the free
list. There are more tanneries in my dis
trict than in any other in the country. I
stood with the tanners for what they asked
as I did with the lumber producers. There
ore lurge manufacturers in the district. I
Mood for protection to American manufac
turers and labor. We did not do so badly.
What more could Mr. Sibley have
achieved? On petroleum wc were badly
lieaten. The cry of 'Standard Oil' was
raised against us. It was impossible to
overcome it. It was impossible to carry
conviction that a duty was in the interest
of independent producers and refiners of
petroleum. We heard during the period
that the Standard Oil Company was against
a duty on petroleum, but not a sufficient
number of members believed it. Lewis
Emery and former Congressman Phillips,
whose records as opponents of the Standard
Oil Company are written in the records of
courts, of legislatures and of congress, were
accused of being Standard Oil agents when
they pleaded for a duty. Wc presented
facts to the contrary, but were not listened
to. It is the simple truth that there was
not an agent or representative of the Stand
ard here to ask for a duty.
"Why didn't Mr. Sibley come to Wash
ington and help Emery and Phillips and
the rest of us? I am not under his or any
one's condemnation for inability to have
petroleum protected; then Speaker Cannon
and Senator Penrose yes and Senator Al
rich, who is considered all-powerful by
many must be included in the adverse
verdict. Speaker Cannon has an oil field
in his district, and knowing the need of
protection for petroleum took the floor in
committee of the whole house and made
one of the most eloquent and impassioned
pleas for it that he ever made for anything.
In spite of that a large majority of the Re
publicans and nearly all the Democrat
voted for free oil against the recommenda
tion of the ways and means committee
Since the house voted down its speaker, the
oldest member of the body in point of ser
vice, and esteemed the most influential,
what could one of the rest of us or Mr. Sib
ley have done? Senator Penrose in the
senate made a hard fight to get petroleum
on the dutiable list. He did not accom
plish it. Senator Ablrich voted for a duty,
but showed coldness toward the proposi
tion from the first. Mr. Sibley in the
house would have been no more influen
tial with the senate than as a private citi
zen. However, since lie wishes to have it
believed that I did less for petroleum than
for lumber I will say and I will say no
more that I am willing at any time to
have my record and his with reference to
petroleum examined and compared at any
time and covering any period. Hut so fur
as I am concerned there will be no mud
throwing in this campaign. I shall treat
Mr. Sibley fairly and decently and In a gen
tlemanly manner."
Mr. Wheeler will leave for home tomor
row night on business and will incidentally
look into political conditions.
In a factory at Jamestown, where a
workman oxydizes iron and steel work,
be receives six dolars a day for bia ser
vice. Two dollars ol this Is for the labor
and the other lour dollars because be la
the only man who can do it. This calls
fortb from the Titusvllle Herald the com
ment that when a young man can make
bla bead and bauds work in harmony be
is beginning to get somowhere.
An Open Letter Mr. Sibley a Candi
date for Congress.
To the Electors of the Twenty-eighth
Congressional District:
Permit me hereby to acknowledge the
receipt of a great number of letters and
petitions requesting uie to serve again as
your Representative in Congress.
It would be impossible for me to write
to each ol you, thanking you lor your ex
pressions of appreciation and confidence.
While realiaiug tbat you entertain too
flattering an estimate of my ability, one
thing I do Know, that during my term of
service it was my constant aim to pro
mote and support legislation making for
the betterment of the farmers, the man
ufacturers, the wage earners and the oil
producers of tbe district. This was es
teemed by me not only a dnty, but also a
privilege and pleasure. During my years
of service I gave no attention whatever to
any private business, but devoted all my
energy and whatever ability was pos
sessed by me to the Interest of those
whose real representative I sought to be.
To assist in caring properly for the in
terests of my constituents two clerks
were constantly employed and frequent
ly three. More than one-balf of the total
sum allowed me lor salary was paid to
those olerks, whose efforts were deemed
by me necessary to serve elUoiently your
interests.
No defender of tbe nation's Hag ever
wrote uie ooncerniog bia pension who did
not have au answer mailed to him within
twenty-four hours from the receipt of bis
communication.
One clerk was constantly engaged in
the preparation of papers aud the presen
tation of claims at the Pension Ollloe. No
man or woman ever wrote me a letter
asking my etlorU in bia or her behalf
who did not receive an immediate reply
and such proper service by me as was in
my power to render. It was my aim to
bear in mind at all times that I was sent
to Washington in behalf of all tbe people
of tbe district, and I never asked the
question whether tbe applicaut for my
service was a political frieud or politi
cal enemy.
In my retirement from official life It
was with tbe consciousness that no speech
ever made by me iu Congress, no vote
ever cast by me, or no public, action per
formed by me, was made, given or per
formed, with auy selfish or persoual end
to serve. I can say in truth that on ail
public questions my only desire was to
know the right aud then to possess tbe
courage to follow this course, especially
when it ran counter to tbe opinion of my
party leaders, aud to the opinion of tbose
people whose judgment 1 value aud
whose friendship I prize.
Ho far as I am aware, no vote ever cast
by me, or no action performed by me
ever cost me tbe confidence or respect of
iiy fellow Member of the House or Sen
ate, nor was my position on any public
question assumed by me, which was not
from my standpoint of vision looking di
rectly to the welfare of those who hud
uonoied me by selecting me as their rep
ieentative. No recommendation for appointment
to the public service was ever made by
me in consideration of and personal or
political benefit to accrue to me tbiougb
such recommendation, nor was any ap
pointment ever beld up by me for person
al or political advantage.
I appreciated tbe bnuor of being Con
gressman from the Twenty-eighth Con
gressional District, because I never failed
to bear in mind that at home were good
men and women who had faith in me and
who belieyed however mistaken I might
be on any given subject, tbat in all tbiugs
their representative was trying to do the
best be kuew how to render more valu
able the fruits of their toil. While real
izing tbe importance of the ofllce and tbe
dignity of the position it never caused me
to call for a larger sized hat, or made me
any other man than tbe same "Joe Sib
ley," whom so many of you have known
irom bia boyhood. Never having cheated
a friend or neighbor at home, never hav
ing had any oue charge me, while in pri
vate life, witb falsehood or sharp prac
tice, I was not materially changed in my
general character and conduct by holding
otfieial position.
Since my retirement from public life I
have eudeavored to improve my mind by
reading and travel and my body by liv
ing out of doors. In tbe propagation and
cultivation of rare fruits and flowers, I
bave converted more than one hundred
acres of Band waste into fruitful orchards.
In tbe work on my farm I bave been
contented and happy, and tbe only time
tbat I have ever regretted my retirement
from Congress was during tbe prepara
tion of tbe recent tariff bill, when it
seemed to me a pity tbat from a section
of the stale witb sucb vast interests In the
production ol iron, s eel, tin, oil, and in
tbe products of the soil, tbat no voice whs
raised, and apparently no effort was made
for the protection of these interests. M ucb
ol tbe wealth in all the counties of the
district is derived from tbe production of
oil and tbe manufacture of its products.
With tbe developement of the vast fields
f petroleum on our Mexican borders, it
se med to me tbe representative of this
district hsd laid upon bim an imperative
duly to defend this great industry which,
outside of agriculture, is second In im
portance to but few. if any. American in
dustries.
I shall never cease to believe tbat If the
Congress and tbe President had been
fully informed of the magnitude of this
industry, and tbe evil etfecta which
would be sustained bv Flacins petroleum
on tbe free list, tbey would not have tak
en action which permitted otber nations
of the world to levy an absolutely prohib
itive amy against American petroleum,
while tendering and inviting them to free
access to our home market.
ine Hon. Lewis Emery, Jr., and the
Hon. Thomas W. Phillips came to Wash
ington aud clearly outlined the dangers
threatening the petroleum industry
through tbe misconceptions In regard to
it eniertainea oy congress. That their
fears were not groundless mav be readilv
ascertained by consulting tbe oil market
reports. In an epoch when prices of all
other commodities are advancing, we
witness tue anomaly or a decline in the
prices of petroleum and the closing of the
markets of the world to our products.
Messrs Emery and Phillips did all tbat
as private citizens they could possibly do
to avert this disaster, and tbey were even
beld by tbose unfamiliar with tbeir life
long attitude as being emissaries and as
acting in behalf of tbe Standard Oil Co.
Some years ago I contested with Mr.
Emery tbe honor of being tbe represent
ative from this district. Tbe goddess of
fortune favored me In that contest, and 1
was pleased thereat, but when seeing bis
earnest efforts in Washington in connec
tion with the present tariff, I regretted
tbat he was not then in Congress where
his influence would count so much for
our section or the state.
It was my belief then, and it is mv be
lief now, tbat petroleum, even more than
lumber, is entitled to receive some con
sideration from tbe representative of this
uisirici.
It might occur that free lumber would
not be an unmixed evil, for in tbe
Twenty-eighth District more neonle are
Interested in tbe low price of lumber
than in tbe low price of oil. Tbe number
benefitted by tbe increasing price of lum
ber comprises the the very few, while
those injured by tbe shrinkage In tbe
price of petroleum embraces the great
muuiiuue.
Personally I bave no political ambi
tion to gratify, and If consulting my own
happiness and peace of mind. I should
prefer not to be a candidate. I have
waited many weeks since receiving your
petitions, hoping tbat someone fully
equipped for congressional service would
enter tbe field, but none have volun
leered, and so many urging it upon me
as a duty, prompts me to say tbat I here
by accept your invitation, and will at tbe
proper time announce my candidacy, and
ask not only the support of my personal
friends, but also tbe support of all good
citizens on farm, in Jeld, or in factory.
I will not be the candidate of any inter
est, Individual, clique, or faction, nor, if
successful, can i permit anyone to make
the office of tbe congressman a clearing
house for political rewards or punish
ments. No man or set of men will bave
control of either my convictions or ao-
tiona. Any pledge made by me to one
man will be the pledge I make to all men
openly, namely t To do all in my power
to promote and perpetuate the peace,
prosperity and happiness of the people of
tbe united States, and especially tbe wel
fare of tbe farmers, producers, wage-earners
and general citizenship of this con
gressional district. Very truly yours,
Joski'h C. Sibley.

Hon. Ben B. Li nosey, tbe famous Ju
venile Court judge of Colorado, "bands
down" an opinion on tbe cigaret tbat
ought to make people think. He says:
"I bave been in tbe Juvenile Court near
ly ten years, and In tbat time I bave bad
to deal witb thousands and thousands of
boys who bave disgraced themselves and
their parents, and who bave brought Bor
row aud misery into their lives; and I do
not know of any one babit tbat la more
responsible for tbe troubles of these boys
than tbe vile cigaret habit."
Attorney General Todd will be
called upon to decide another knotty
problem arising from tbe Constitutional
amendments adopted last November.
The Act of June 23, 1897, specifies a num
ber of public holidays, Including "tbe
third Tuesday of February , election day."
Tbe Constitutional amendments abolish
tbe February elections after tbe present
year, but no provision is made for annul-
ing the legal holiday. Tbe question arises
whether banks and otber financial inslitu
lions will bave to continue to close on the
third Tuesday of February.
Overtures from Governor Stuart to
State Treasurer Sbeatz, looking to an
amicable adjustment of tbe controversy
over the occupancy it the olHce after tbe
first Monday in May next, when tbe term
for which Sbeatz was elected will expire,
bave been rejected. The governor doesn't
want to make an appointment if there is
to be a fight over It, but It looks now as If
be would bave to do so or admit tbat
Sbeatz has an undisputed right to tbe
ofllce for another year, The state treas
urer has declined to comply with the ad
ministration's suggestion that a friendly
test be made In court in advance of the
eventful date.

Letter From L. J. Osgood.
Buckley, Wash., Feb. 3, 1910,
Dear Editor: I will try to give you
sketch this morning. I was down to Os-
trander for a week and we bad a fine
time. Tbe weather is fine out bere and
everybody seems to be feeling good. I
had the pleasure of ahaking bands witb
lot of Forest county people and tbey
showed me a good time sure. The first
day we went to the bead of Collins' log
road. It Is about eigbt or nine miles.
They havo a fine road and lots of fine
timber. The next day we went out bunt
ing for wildcats. We bad tbe pleasure of
getting three of them and the next morn
ing we went out for a bear bunt, but that
was of short duration, for In less than an
hour one of tbe party bad laid bruin low,
so we weut home. In tbe afternoon we
went fishing for salmon. We got one
salmon that weighed 18 pounds, four sal
mon trout tbat weighed tbree pound eacb
and half a bushel of smelt. I was pretty
well fagged ont that night, but after par
taking of a good slice of bear and flsb,
enough to make a man ashamed to even
look at a fish pole, and a good night's
rest, we started to fish for mountain trout.
We put lu the greater part of the day at
that and we bad a fine lot of these little
beautiea from seven to twelve Inches
long. A few of that kind would make
the editor of tbe Republican smile, et
peclally for dinner. Of oourse fishing Is
not good bere at this time ol the year, but
as I have been requested to give them a
lish story, I bad to mix hunting and fish
ing together to make it worth writing,
hoping that in the future I will be able to
give you a real fish story. With best
wishes to one and all, I remain,
Yours, with respect,

tbe vital statistics or every country.

A few minutes delay In treating some
cases of croup, even tbe length of time It
takes to go for a doctor often proves
dangerous. The ssfest way Is to keep
Cbamberlain'a Cough Remedy In the
Louse, and at tbe first Indication of croup
give the child a dose. Pleasant to take
and always cures. Hold by Dunn A Craig.
