THF FOREST REPUBLICAN. i. C. WINK, Cditok 4 PsoeNixTO. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1912 t'iill!cnii Ticket. Congresa Hon. P. M. Speer, of Venango County. Assembly - Hon. A, R. Menlillng, of Clarinton. Saturday's Primaries. To My that tbe overwhelming land slide for Roosevelt at the, primaries 1hI Saturday was a surprise la staling the case correctly, but to say that a Koose velt victory that would he veVy decisive was unexpected would be locorrect, aa every well-informed person throughout the slate una been aware of the decided sentiment for the firmer President lor weeks past. This sentiment, instead of waning, actually gathered strength as the campaign progressed. The result N bound to have a decided effect upon tbe campaign for the presidential nomina tion that yet remains to be fought out, and If it should turn the tide completely f t Colonel Roosevelt at the Chicago con vention it will not surprise tbe American people. From tbe day that be left the White House, three years ago the people the masses have looked forward to the time wbeu tbey could again put him bark there, and this, the first opportunity they bave bad to show their preference, bss demonstrated what a bold be baa up on them. Few if any who voted for Roosevelt on Saturday did so because tbey distrusted President Taft, on tbe contrary, moat of them would acknowl edge the sincerity, honesty and ability of tbe President, but tbey simply wanted Theodore Roosevelt as their candidate, nd it would bave been so bad any other man occupied the executive chair. It simply means that ibe Colonel continues to be America's most popular citizen. That tbe third term bugaboo bas n ) ter rors for bis friends is slao demonstrated. In tbe round-up there was little left to fibt over, Roosevelt carryiug all but two or three districts, nettlog him 53 dis trict delegates ben Ides tbe 12 at-largn which the state convention will name at Its meeting on tbe tirst of May, bringing the total up to 6t. In Forest county the result is over 3 to 1 in favor of tbe Roosevelt candidates for National delegates, and almost the same on tbe stale delegate, Mr. Ledebur having 601 votes to Mr. Carringer'ss 180. In the Congressional contest Mr. Speer leads Gen. Hulings by 9(1. On tbe As sembly question Mr. Mechliug won out over Mr. Campbell by 204 majority. About the warmest contest in this couDty wss that developed in the Demo cratic camp between tbe Hall and anti Hall faction, and from present Indica tions ibe Hall men won out, electing John T. Carson of the borough delegate to tbe state convention, aud Leo. F. Keat ing of Marienville county chairman. The question as to who was nominated for Assembly on the Democratic ticket must be determined ty the official coont which will be made by tbe county com missioners today. So many of the re turns were sealed that it was impossible to get a correct estimate of how tbe vole went between J. L. Simmons of Kellett ville, and P. C. Hill of Tionesta, both of whom were voted for and at last accounts Mr, Hill was two votes ahead. Congressman Speer Itc-nominated. Tbe best figures obtainable last night from all parts of tbe district indicate the nomination pf Hon. P. M. Speer by from 300 to 350 majority over Gen. Willis J. Hulings. Tbe following figures show tbe unofficial majorities of tbe two can didates: Speer. Venango 204 Mercer Warren Forest !

Karl de Scbweinitz, executive secretary of the Pennsylvania society for the pre vention of tuberculosis, says that now is the time to begin the fight against the bouse fly. For every fly that yon kill this month you will reduce tbe fly popu lation in the summer by several billions. One fly on an average Isya In a season twelve sets of eggs. At tbe lowest esti mate sixty flies are hatched from each laying. It is fair to say that 60 per cent, of the eggs batched will be females. Each female will in turn batch sixty flies. These will beget others, so that in one sea son a single fly will by a most conserva tive count bave produced seven billions of flies. Just as tbe bee gathers pollen from the flowers on its legs, does the fly collect germs. Typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and many other diseases are carried In this wsy from the sick room to your home. Wherever there is filth there the fly swarms. The fly which lights upon your lips may menace your lite with disease germs. The flies that buzz about your kitchen or your dining room may literal ly be poisoning your food. Aa a matter of self preservation, therefore, s'art right now to kill the solitary flies which, ir given a chance, will beget Lilliona or their kind. Sheriff Charles C. lloman, who gets around the county as much as anybody else, is loud in his praises of the roads in Rockland township, the good condition of which is due to the fact that a King log drag is used with intelligence. The Sheriff says that tbe roads in most other townships (where no work is done on them until May) are in bad condition. The King drag results in the ruts in the spring being tilled with the loose dirt of the road, and in a short time they are hard. Sheriff Uouian says the road of ficials ol other townships could got valu able bints from those In Rockland. Franklin News. The foregoing applies with equal force to all country roads. Were the supervisors in each tnwnshin to provide themselves with one or two of these com aratively inexpensive drags, anil at tbia season of the year, before the roads become hardened and baked, use them judicionsly the good roads problem would be more tban half solved in every district, and a great saving of expense later in tne spring wouni be accom plished. These feels bave been so oflen demonstrated in the past that it would seem to he unnecessary to point them out at each recurring season. Why no not the tax payers in tbe townships Insist upon their officials adopting these com uiun sense methods T Unofficial Primary Yoto, April 13, 1912.

New Yobk, April 15.-More than 1,200 persons, it is feared, sank to dealb early today, when within four boura after she crashed into an iceberg, the rosin motb White Star line steamer Titanic, bound from Liverpool to New York, on her maiden voyage, went to tbe bottom off the Newfoundland Banks. Of tbe approximately 2.200 persons on board the giant liner, some or them of world-wide prominence, only 866 are known to bave been saved. According to the fiist wire less message received from the Titanic she struck tbe iceberg at 10:25 Sunday niubt, twelve hundred and forty-eight miles east of Sandy Hook, X. Y. The White Star line offices in New York, while keeping up hope to the lant, were tree to admit there bad been "horrible loss or life." While tbe fate of the majority of the 2,200 persons on board the mammoth vessel still remsin in doubt, and it is feared more than 1,200 were lost, a note of good cheer came from the ocean waya by wireless between 1 and 2 o'clock Tuesday morning. It was in tbe shape of a wire less message from the White Star liner Olympic, one of tbe vessels hovering near the scene of the disaster, flisbiug tbe news that 866 of the Titanic'a passengers, mostly women and children, were being brought to port by the Cunarder Carpa tbia. Other messages later brought con firmatory tidings. Tor key. Two new families bave lately moved into the pleasant village of Minister Finks and Barrs, and tbe strange part of it Is tbsl they live side by side.

Llttlefield and Earl Downey served on tbe election board at Lynch Saturday afternoon, and walked borne af ter the votes were counted, arriving bere close to midnight. Thomas Miller baa erected a new fence around bia lot and it looks fine. He was assisted by Claude LittleQeld. Last week tbe wind caught tbe foot bridge just right and after it soared up toward the sky as far as the wires wonld permit, it came down and tbe strain was too great for the anchor on tbe east side and a ring broke releasing two wire ca bles. This put tbe bridge on its edge snd made it impassable. Our red bout was launched and tbe traffic taken care of until tbe bridge was repaired, two days after the break. Thomas Miller was on the east side when the wind came and was in the act of starting over when tbe bridge soared upward. Claude Litilefield and O. E. Rupe t went to Kellettville Friday night to assist in tbe play "The Prisoner of Auderson ville" by The Msyburg Dramatic Club. They report it a very good play and well rendered by tbe club, which is belug complimented by all who hear It. Tbe Kellettville audience was very much in terested while the play was going on, and tbe club received many congratulations after tbe play. The only drawback waa tbe scarcity of music, between acts, all caused by the pianist being absent and there was no time to get another one in line. There were only a tew of tbe voters at tbe election held at Lynch from this place as all were busy. The younger element are adjusting their fishing tackle to try for the speckled beauties this week. We are hoping that tbey will not take short fish, for exper ience has taugLt us that they are costly. Two of our friends bave been soaked for more tban a hundred dollars within tbe last three years. Verily some of us could not stand a crack like that with potatoes so high. O. E. Rupert went to Blue Jay last Fri day to meet Norman aud Bert Gilbert, two former Gusher boys. "Norm" used to play the violin, with Rupert at the piano, for the natives of that place. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Wolfe, and Mrs. A. Show ers and daughters were there. Tbey all went to tbe residence of D. L. Bean and played the same old tunes ss in Ibe daya of yore. It was fine and look us all back twenty years, when we were all there at Gusher and enjoying life with few cares. Miss Olive Blum Spent Sunday with tbe girls at Kingsley and had a fine visit, coming up in time to take up her studiea on Monday morning. We bave a very good school here this winter, having two moms, thus giving the teachers a better chance to handle so many pupils, which If all were in one room, would make a bad mixture, as tbe teacher would have to miss some classes one day and miss another next in order to handle tbem.
