W * ■II"- • -I the Lower House at Harrisburg. As our readers are well aware, Mr. North has, from a stand point of ability and efficiency made an excellent reputation for himself at the State Capi tal and he has for the present session been entr.usted with 3ome of the most important committee work of the House. One of the important assign ments which carne to Mr. North svas the chairmanship of the Appropriations Committee and he has the distinction of being bhe first country member to hold that post. That Mr. North will give a good account of himself is evident from his past service as a committee member. While Taylor North is not making any loud noise about the recognition that has come to him through faithful work in the Legislature, it is nevertheless a fact that he is recognized down at Harris burg as being one of the most influential members of the pres ent session. Mr. North is not only able, through good judg ment and long experience, in the legislative halls to serve his con stituents well, but he is ever on the alert to do things and do them right for the best interests of the wohle State, and Mr. North s past and present attitude has won for him the respect of every officiai and every citizen who appreciates loyal and untir ing honest service. Taylor North may feel justly proud of things he has done at Harrisburg in the interests of his constituents. And the people back home ought to appreciate in Mr. North the best representative they could hope to have.—Brockwayville Republican, March 7, 1913. Congressman North is a can didate for re-nomination for a second term and will appreciate your support. Politicai Advertisement A Business Proposition Politica should be a business proposition. The voters should look at politicai questions from a business and economie stand point. The people should look to their own interests and not to the interests of the candidate or politicai leaders. The can didate should not be owned by any interests whatever. He should not be a politician or a demagogue. He should be a bus iness man and should under stand ali the business interests of the district. Then he should be qualified not only to judge of what is for the best interests in the protec tion, development and building up of the industries and inter ests in the district, but also to formulate laws for that purpose and urge and secure their enact ment. He should have a good legai mind and a knowledge of ìaw. He must be a man of force and character. He must be a man who will look more after the interests of the district than after his own advancement and the vest pocket interests of poli ticai leaders and their henchmen He should be a man of the peo ple and for the people. This applies with special force in the 27th Congressional Dis trict in selecting a candidate for Congress at the coming pri maries. This district wants to get upon the map and be admit ted into the United Sates and have the best interests of the people urged with a vim .Of the entire list of candidates none possess and exemplify the above qualifications as fully as does Nathan L. Strong. He is thor oughly acquainted with the in dustries and interests of the dis trict in a practical way. He will not be owned or controlied by any set of interests and no set of politicians and their hench men will run him. He is a man of force and character. He is an able lawyer and is qualified in every respect.
