BLACK FOR AUDITOR GENERAL WILLIAM T. CREASY FOR SECY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS JOHN J GREEN STATE SENATOR J. HENRY COCHRAN. CONGRESS JOHN G. McHENRY. PRESIDENT JUDGE JOHN G. HARMAN LEGISLATURE R. S. AMMERMAN ASSOCIATE JUDGE LLOYD W. WELLIVER. REGISTRAR AND RECORDER Wm. L. SIDLER. SHERIFF CALVIN BHULTZ. THE ISSUE. At the Democratic primary election Grant Herring carried Montour county. John G. Har man carried Columbia county, thus giving each two conferrees. The same conferrees met in conference a number of times without any result, each set of conferrees voting as per their in structions. Seeing there was no possibility of a nomination tho conference was adjourned without day. The case, after due notice to all tho parties concerned, including the county' chairman of each county, was submitted to the Democratic state executive com mittee, composed of five leading Democrats, selected from dilfor ent parts of the state, as has been the custom for many years—thus settling all questions within the party. At this session each party filed his claims, giving the vote for each candidate cast at tho prima ries. The committee, after hearing all tho facts, took the papers as filed by each, and after full con sideration and finding that Mr. Harman had received a majority of all the votes cast in the two counties, declared unanimously in favor of Mr. Harman. This is the correct situation as it stands today. Mr. Herring thon appealed to a Republican court on technicali ties and said court decided that the executive committee had no power to say which should goon the ticket. Now, we are of the opinion that Mr. Herring's action in this mat ter was not honorable ingoing into said executive committee, submitting his case, then when the result was adverse to him, ac cording to Democratic custom, going into tho Republican court, whoso every interest would be enhanced by declaring the com mittee without power. Wo believe tho Democratic party should settlo questions, as to their nominations, within the party and without opening the door to the opposition to say what shall bo done. The committoes have exercised this privilege with in tho party for many years, and to open the door to outsiders to settle our affairs WAS NOT DEMOCRATIC, and should be frowned down by all who have tho interest of our party at heart. — DEMOCRATS, study the ticket well. — WATCH out for the gangs and the gangsters and vote for the best men. —A e careful about the kind of men who goon the bench, as there is supposed to be a special dignity at tached to the position which makes the occupants almost sacred. Grant Herring is uot the kind of man those who know him best would care to have goon the bench. There are reasons why it should not be so which can be stated if necessary, and it is to be hoped that he will sec the necessity of withdrawing from the contest before those opposed to him take advantage of some unpleasant facts. DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES True Democracy consists in the verdict of the people as expressed at the ballot by a majority of the voters. This is the definition handed down to us by the founders of our great party— the immortal Jefferson and Jackson. John G. Harman had a clear ma jority of the voters of this Judicial District and ratified by the Executive Committee of the Democratic party of the State unanimously—all being our Democratic leaders, who considered the whole matter from the merits of the case, the entire com mittee being disinterested and acting solely under the rules that governed ■ the party for more than thirty years. | A vote for John G, McHenry is a , vote in the interest of the people of all conditions. He is as courteous to the laborer as to the millionaire and as just to the Prince as to the pauper. All true Democrats Will cast their votes for John G. Harman and in re turn will received justice from au able jurist, who will take the oath i without beiug under the influence of any corporation or clique. MINE WORKERS' CHAMPION FOR JOHN G. MCHENRY Secretary-Treasurer of the Great Labor Organization Appeals to: the Voters in I'uhalf of a Worthy Man. W. B. Wilson is the International Secretary-Treasurer of the United Mine Workers of America. In all the great struggles for the rights and in terests of labor in the Anthraeit; Coal ie_;iou lie has been President John Mitchell's "right hand," so to speak. His life, his energy, his splendid ability have been devoted to the cause of labor. He is essentially the faith ful, efficient and conscientious champion of Labor iu Pennsylvania. Appreciating the importance of having the faithful friends of labor in the next Congress, Secretary-Treasurer Wilson is taking an interest in the Congressional contest in this, the Sixteenth district, of this State. He un derstands and appreciates John U. MoHeniy and with characteristic candor appeals to the voters iu his behalf: The following is his address to"the Miners, Farmers and other citizens of the Sixteenth Congressional district of Pennsylvania." 2//iifoq Blossburg, Pa. Oct. 2nd. JLOOC, 190—. To tho Miners. Farmers and other Citizens of tho Sixteenth Congressional District of Pennsylvania. Oentlemen: The Hon. John 0. MoHenry, of Benton, Penna. t has been nominated for Congress in the Sixtoenth Congressional Dlotrlot of Pennsylvania. Ur. MoHenry's past record and hlo offeotive work in' tho interests of the Farmers and wage workers of our oountry should oonnend him to the favorable consideration of every votor in your dietrlot irrespeotive of former politloal affiliations.. 1 trust that the Miners, Farmers, Business Men and. other Citizens of the Sixteenth Distrlot win give him their. eamest_ support at the polls. Respectfully yours, International Secretary-Treasurer of thfr- United Mine Workors of Amerioa. — HAIL, to Harman—our next judge ! SHAUTTHfT GRAFTERS ESCAPE? I That there was from 30 to 50 \yr cent, of graft in pie $9,000,000 "ex tras" for the capitol is charged by State Treasurer Berry. But if the people failed to elect tho anti-gang candidates for state offices and the state legislature there would bo a poor chance of finding out "who got it" or of bringing deserved punish ment upon the guilty. In that case, despite all that Berry has already done in the matter, he would be "up against" the same hard proposition that lie collided against tho other day when Governor Pennypackor, head of, and Auditor General Snyder, member of the board of public grounds and buildings, of which the State Treas urer also is a member, refused point blr.nk to answer any of Berry's prob- . inj; questions Mr. Berr*. therefore, must go around alone, finding out things for himself, ! just as he discovered the cheat in tho cement pavement, or the charge per J cubic foot for the air in the telephone booth, making it cost S3IOO. This booth, Berry says, looks like mahog any, but it is made of steel, and is about six feet square and eight, feet high, and was .paid for at sll per cubic foot, air and all. Berry has found also tliat some of the ceilings have gold strips around raised portions, and this strip, a very narrow thing, was .paid for "by the foot," so as to count in as gold the enclosed space which has no gilt. All such probing in the future, for one man alone —even a man of Berry's experience as a mechanic and in practical business—would take a weary long time, and could not result in the people's knowing all about what grafters have been beneficiaries of the great steal. Whole Graft Must Be Uncovered. But the whole story will conio out If the people defeat every machine candidate from Stuart down to the bottom of the state legislative list on November 6. As to Pennypacker's at tempt to throw dust into the people's eyes by having railroad excursions to see what a fine building the capitol is the anti-machine candidate for Lieu tenant Governor. Jeremiah S. Black, makes the pertinent suggestion that the excursion trains run to the insane asylums in which the unfortunates have been deprived of the commonest necessities and forced to huddle on the corridor floors at night, because tli€ machine wanted the state's millions for the capitol graft. Another object lesson for the excursionists would be in the charitable institutions other than the state Insane hospitals, en 1 out of whose appropriations Penny packer, last year, cut $2,500,000 upon I _— 1 Select Sensi b I eSi 1 vcrwarc 1 I; FOR YOUR I I Holiday or Anniversary Gifts £ B A set of triple plated knives and forks makes a sensible H 3 present, and if they bear this trademark L | I H are as serviceable as they are sensible.

INTERNATIONAL PILVRR CO., Suc««Mor to M KIIII)KN II - the plea, that the state could not spaie the money. "A fine building," says Pennypacker, "But," Berry retorts, "the state did not get what it paid for." Even if the graft expenditures had been legal and ' the people had got what they paid for, it was unreasonable extravagance in j view of the fact that at the same time I when those $0,000,000 were being squandered, the appropriations for the needy hospitals were being v<*toe:l. The caae is now going to trial. The people are engaged in selecting a court and jury. The question is: "Shall we have a court and jury made up of members of the gang which did thin thing, to investigate themselves, oi shall we eliooao them from the rank? , of honept men?"
