Armstrong County's Candidate for Congress Nathan L. Strong Seldom has the announce- 52 in the legislative halls. Too ment of any candidate for po litical honors met with the un animous approval and hearty endorsement that have been accorded N. L. Strong, Esq., since it first became known that he would be a candidate for Congress in the 27th Con gressional District, composed of Armstrong, Clarion, Jeffer son and Indiana Counties. Wherever Mr. Strong is ac quainted, he is well and fav orably known. His friends have Tor a long time urged him to become a candidate for Congress, because of the fact that they recognized his ability and knew that he would be a useful representa tive, not alone to the District which elected him, but, on ac count of his broad knowledge of affairs, to the country in general. There is, through out the country today, a feel ing that the best men should respond to the call of duty, that men who can think and do should not be permitted to hide their talents, but should be at Washington in the Legislative Halls aiding and assisting in the success ful management of our gov ernment. It is not the pur pose of this article to dis parage, in the least, the abil ity of either or any of Mr. Strong's opponents for the honor sought by them, nor to cast the slighest imputa tion upon them,' but those who know Mr. Strong best are of the firm belief that the people of this District are to be congratulated on the op portunity they have this spring of naming as their candidate for Congress a man who has risen, by sheer force of character, straight from the ranks, to the position he now occupies, a lawyer of un doubted and unquestioned ability, a business man of keen and accurate judgment, a gentleman who has for years made a careful and crit ical study of the natural re sources of the entire District which he desires to represent, and whose knowledge of such matters is so well known that he has been and is recognized as an expert, and a man who has the universal respect of all those who know him. The; time has now come in this j country when the citizens must awaken and be alive to the fact that it is their fault, and theirs alone, that the best enuipped men to perform legislative functions are not much attention has been giv en to such thoughts at the following, viz, that a Con gressman should have at least two terms, that if one county elects Bie Congress man this term, another of the counties in the District should elect the Congressman for the next term, etc. True it is that there are many Congressmen who should be elected term after term, because of their recognized usefulness, their extraordinary ability, their forensic powers, or other rea sons. But, because there have been such men as these, that is no reason why, simply because a Congressman has had one term, he should be returned to the position. Other men are capable, other men have ability, other men, through their breadth of knowledge in affairs in gen eral, may be better than the ones now occupying these po sitions. Surely, such a thought should not deter any one from voting for the can didate, whether he be a form er Congressman, the present Congressman, or an aspirant for the honor in the new, who best embodies those charac teristics, those ideals which should be controlling in the selection of the proper man for the place. Mr. Strong's well known powers in debate or in argument, his ability to speak not only fluently but with power and to the point on subjects of general import, his business training, his leg al acumen and knowledge, all of these faculties combine to make him in a particular and peculiar way wonderfully well fitted to properly repre sent the 27th District and to be an extremely useful mem ber of Congress. In Arm strong County where, for the past fifteen years, Mr. Strong has been engaged in the de velopment of one of the great as an exprt, and a man who natural resources of the coun ty, his candidacy has met with such popularity, because of the fact that he has had so much to do with the bring ing of wealth and prosperity to the people and with the rapid advances made by the county in recent years, that long before nomination day it will be very unpopular for any citizen to be either open ly or secretly against his nom ination.
