POLITICAL.
The official ballot for this year will
contain ten columns, nine of which will
have the usual circles and voting
squares, and the blank column. The
nine parties named are the, Republican,
Democratic. Prohibition, Soc. Labor, Peo
ples, Union, Municipal League, Public
Opinion, Public Ownership; and below
the columns the import of the two pro
posed amendments to the State Consti
tution are indicated and squares pro
vided for a Yes or No vote. Make a X
opposite the Yes in both. The names
of the nominees will be seen on tbe
election proclamation.
At Harrisburg, last Saturday, the
Dauphin Co Court declared the nomina
tion of E. A. Coray for State Treasurer,
by the Democratic State Central Com
mittee to be invalid, for the reason that
the Democratic State Executive Com
mittee that nominated Coray for State
Treasurer was illegally constituted.
Therefore Coray was not legally nomi
nated and his name could not be print
ed in the Democratic column on the of
ficial ballot until he was chosen at a
legally constituted meeting of the Dem
ocratic committee. In anticiption of
this opinion the committee was called
to meet Tnesdav. when Coray was re
nominated. All the Philadelphia dele
gates, who had been expelled, were
present, and voted for Coray.
THIS State has taken the first steps
looking to the introduction of person
al registration in having the Legisla
ture pass, during the last session, the
proposed Constitutional Registration
Amendment that will come before the
people in November for adoption.
Laws requiring personal registration
are in operation in Massachusetts. New
York and other States, and without
exception they are found to work most
satisfactorily. It is only a question of
time when the adoption' of this fcrni of
registering voters will come into gen
eral use. It is in no sense a hardship
and works to the equal advantage of
all political parties.
The proposed amendment, while a
step in this direction, will not compass
the desired reforms in the election
methods of the State. It is merely an
entering wedge to future legislation
that will have to be enacted at sub
sequent sessions in the General Assem
bly. Under the present Constitution,
personal registration is an impossibil
ity, but with the adoption of the amend
ment it opens the way to such laws as
may be enacted regulating the registra
tion of voters.
This is best explained by the laii
gaageof the amendment, which is to
that section of the Constitution deSn
-lUI - n ' e
V—Hull Hfpfesentreads:
"Every male citizen, twenty-one
years of age, possessing the following
qualifications, shall be entitled to vote
at all elections."
As amended the section will read as
follows.
. "Every male citizen, twenty-one
years of age, possessing the following
qualifications, shall be entitled to vote
at all elections, subject, however, to
such laws requiring and regulating the
registration of electors as the General
Assembly may enact*"
The amendment likewise recognizes
the difference between the conditions
in the larger cities and those ot the
country districts. To provide for this
it is proposed to change the following
section.
"All laws regulating the holding of
elections by the citizens or for the
registration of electors shall lie uni
form throughout the State, but no
elector shall be deprived of the priv
ilnge of voting by reason of his name
not being registered.''
As amended this section will read:
"All laws regulating the holding of
elections by the citizens or for the reg
istration of electors shall be uniform
throughout the State, but the laws regu
lating and requiring the registration of
electors may be enacted to apply to
cities only, provided that such laws be
uniform for cities of the same class."
WHILE there has been a disposition
during the early days of the campaign
to ignore the Amendment to the Con
stitution, which will be voted upon at
the November election, it now is being
made one of the issues of the political
contest in the State. The Registration
Amendment is of the greatest import
ance, and it should not be lost sight of
in the bitter factional and partisan con
test which is waging around the elec
tion of State anA county officers. Not
withstanding the prominence given rec
ently to the proposed amendment, there
is a noticeable lack of knowledge on the
part of many persons concerning the
import and effect of the Registration
Amendment. While in itself it does
not provide for personal registration,
yet it places within the hands of the
Legislature power to enact personal
registration laws at such future time
as may be deemed best by the law
making body of the State. This would
be a positive stride in the direction of
reform in the election methods of the
State, and as snch should receive the
nnaninious support of all voters irre
spective of party or factional alliances.
THE proposed amendment to the Con
stitution permitting the General As
sembly to pass laws requiring personal
registration as a qualification for vot
ing, ought to be adopted by the people.
The ballot box is the source of all legit
imate authority in this country, and
every additional safeguard that can be
thrown around it help? to make our lib
erties that much more secure.
THE president of Yale College has
published a little volume on education
in which he emphasizes the fact that
character is f infinitely more value
than talents or brilliancy, and that the
' safety of the State is in the integrity of
its citizens^
THERE arc 7G,30:},!»57 people in the
United States, according to the linal
census report. Contrary to the general
notion, tnere are considerably more
males than females.their preponderance
amounting to 1,815,097. This excess of
males is attributed in large measure to
immigration, which is mostly male.
There are 10,400,085 foreign-born per
sons in the United States, or about ia.7
per cent, of the total. The negroes
number 8,810.799: the Indians, 260,760.
the Chinese 119,050, and the Japanese
80,986. March all the vast population
of this country along in single file, and
every ninth one would be a person of
African descent, with quite an army ot
them left over.
The Constitutional Amendments.
Among the varied interests of the
State campaign, the proposed amend
ments to the Constitution must not be
overlooked. These will not be voted
upon in any column of the general bal
lot. but will call for a distinct expres
sion of opinion from each voter. It is
important, therefore, to keep them in
mind. The adoption of the amendment
concerning registration is almost essen
tial to the making of any changes in tbe
existing laws. It will make possible
the enaction of such laws as the exper
ience of other States has shown to be
desirable
It conld be shown from the debates in
the Constitutional convention, if not
from the Constitution itself, that the
framers of the Constitution did not in
tend to exclude personal registration
when they provided that "all laws re
gulating the holding of elections by the
citizens or for the registration of elec
tors shall be uniform throughout the
State." That was the original form of
the section: but. having already defined
the qualifications of voters, and wishing
to secure the rights of citizens against
the errors and omissions of incompetent
or dishonest officials, they added the pro
visio that "no elector shall be deprived
of the privilege of voting by reason of
his name not being registered.. ' That
is, if his name were fraudulently or
negligently omitted, he still could es
tablish his right to vote.
The section as it stands, while suffi
ciently well adapted to country districts
excludes any law requiring any more
exact indentification of voters in the
large cities, which experience has shown
to be very necessary. The precise form
which a registration law should take is
matter for argument, but such laws
work smoot hlyand satisfactorily in New
York, Massachusetts and other States,
and they should be equally practicable
with ns. The change that is proposed
in the Constitution is simply to substi
tute for the proviso just quoted: "But
laws regulating and requiring the regis
tration of electors may be enaeted to
apply to cities only, provided that snch
laws be uniform for cities of the same
class." and to add to the definition of
the qualifications of electors the words:
"Subjetet, however, to such laws re
quiring and regulating the registration
of electors as the General Assembly
may enact."
The change will not be mandatory,
but only permissive. Any laws requir
ing personal registration must be enact
ed by the Legislature, and all that is
now proposed is to give the Legislature
the necessary power to bring our laws
up to the standard of modern require
ments The other constitutional
amendment proposed at this time, to
enable the Legislature to adopt other
means of secret voting than the ballot,
is also only permissive. It does not re
quire the adoption of any mechanical
device for registering votes but under
the existing provision that "all elections
shall be by ballot," the most perfect ap
paratus could not be adopted or even
used experimentally, as has been done
in some States with satisfactory results.
It is notable that at the State conven
tion of County Commissioners, lately
held at Bellefonte, the prevailing opin
ion was in favor of this modern improve
ment, and a resolution was adopted
urging the ratification of the proposed
amendment.
It will be a great mistake and misfor
tune if these amendments shall not be
ratified. They cannot do harm, as they
R&tflOve -IM»—ect£»ftwird from t-ho fran
chise, and they may prove an important
advantage in making possible the future
adoption of real safeguards that will
effectively protect the freedom and hon
esty of our elections.
THE late "slump" in copper stocks,
which is said to cost the trust or
Amalgamated Copper Co., a hundred
millions of dollars, was caused by a dis
charged sales agent, whose innocent
looking circular stating that the trust
had thirty-six millions of pounds of the
metal on hands and that the demand
for it was diminishing, caused holders
of the stock to offer it for sale. Casey
worded his circular very cutely and
sent it all over the civilized world by
mail, and timed the mailing of it so
that it would be received at all tbe
great business centres of the world on
the same day.

The "Union" Party.
A new party has been born. Who its
parents are does not appear to the cas
ual observer. Its objects howevur are
not concealed, and what it seeks to do
is openly proclaimed. Its sole purpose
is to defeat the Republican candidates,
one and all, and to elect the Democrats
and disgruntled Republicans on the
Democratic ticket, instead. The Dem
ocrats ask the Republicans to help them
to defeat their own candidates. Strip
ped of all its disguises it is as plain as
the noon day sun..
The Democrats under the guise of
Unionists propose a trade, a corrupt
bargain and sale. They say you vote
for our candidate for District Attorney.
Mr. Henninger, and we will vote fo**
Mr. Graham who was defeated on three
different occasions at the Republican
primaries for Clerk of Courts, and
whose name we have now placed on our
ticket.
Mr. Graham, by accepting this place
lias gone over to the Democratic or I n
ion party, which is one and the same on
this occasion, in so far as results are
concerned. The Democrats want Re
publican votes to help elect their candi
dates, but they do not even promise to
vote for a single Republican. They
want the whole hog.
Some good Republicans without con
sidering the insnlting features of the
proposed trade, for a time received the
proposition with some degree of favor,
but upon calm reflection they see the
unfairness ot the proposition and now
decline to lend their aid and assistance
to its consummation
Republicans will do well by voting
for the regularly nominated candidates
of their party when such nominations
have been fairly made, as in the present
instance, and thus uphold the founda
tion principles of the Republican party.
Besides this, all know that the "Un
ion" party is a mushroom growth, to
serve a temporarv purpose, and then
fall into, as it fell out of, the arms of
the Democratic party, where it belongs
and where it will die.
We therefore call upon all Republi
cans to keep clear of all Union or Dem
ocratic party promises, turn your back
upon them and go steadily ahead, keep
ing step to the party of Lincoln, Grant
and McKinley, and thus uphold and en
courage the administration of President
Roosevelt.
You can never mend the moral per
versions 6f a chnrch or a state or politi
cal party by breaking away from it
Independent political movements iu
Pennsylvania have never brought about
any practical results, except to put the
Democratic party in power.
Usually the object of such movements
is one of two things, personal advantage
or revenge. The creed of tbe sham re
former is: Put the other fellow out and
put me in.
Every Republican should go to the
election and vote the straight ticket and
thereby register his confidence in the
principles advocated by his party and
his condemnation of its enemies.
AN OLD REPUBLICAN.
The "Umcs."
MESSRS EDITORS:—In common with
many others I called at the Countj T
Commissioners' office last week to look
at the so-called Union party nomination
papers with a view of learning who the
Republicans are who have deserted the
party to join hands with the democracy.
1 had read in one of the local Democrat
ic papers that a large proportion of tbe
signers were well known Republicans,
and starting with the assumption that
the statement was a campaign lie, I de
termined to learn the facts.
I haye carefully compared the namts
of the persons signing the paper with
the Registry list on file in the Commis
sioners' office for 1901, and with the
poll books of the Republican County
Committee for 1900 and 1901, and have,
found the following PACTS, which I
challenge any person to truthfully ques
tion or disprove.
There are two linndred and twenty
one (221) signatures to this nomination
paper: of this number six of the signers
in their zeal to fcecome "Unies" put
their names down twice, thus redncing
the real number of signers to two hun
dred and fifteen (215). Of this total,
one hundred and nine (109) are known
Democrats and are thus marked on the
poll books. Six of the total are known
Prohibitionists and are thus marked m
•the Jk»ii nook's. Seventy-TCTO Of the
number have been known in the past as
Republicans and are so marked in the
poll books; this makes a total of one
hundred and eighty-seven (187); of tbe
remaining twenty-one names, seven are
not on the registry list or the poll books
of the districts where they purport to
reside and their party politics cannot
therefore lie detennined, and the poli
tics of the remaining fifteen (15) is not
marked in the poll books of 1900 or 1901,
thns clearly showing that these fifteen
persons have in the past been "men
without a party" and have been looked
upon by their neighbors and acquaint
ances as political nothings and nobodys
I also noticed that of the six persons
who in their zeal to become good
"Unies" had signed the paper twice,
five of them are Democrats living in
Butler Boro, who would probably feel
offended if their names were published
for the information of the public
Evidently the "Unies" we.*e some
what scary abont making the affidavits
tiled as required by the Act of Assem
bly because I observed that they were
put to the dire necessity and indelicate
act of calling upon the Democratic can
didate for District Atterney, who is al
so the "Unie" candidate, tt> make the
affidavit nominating himself —his name
so appears on the paper.
This is the "make up'' of the nomina
tion paper that is now held out to the
loyal Repnblicans of Butler county, and
they are asked to desert the party whose
policies have made our Nation the
greatest on earth. They are asked to
repudiate the party of Lincoln, Gar
field and McKinley. and follow the
leadership of Bryan, Gnffy and george
graham.""

MRS. ELIZA S CRAMER.
In Bnifalo township, this county, on
Saturday, October 12, 1901. occurred the
death of Mrs. Eliza S. Cramer, wife of
George W Cramer, Esq.
The subject of this sketch was born
in what was then Buffalo township
(now Clinton) on the farm now owned
and occvvpied by Johu Her
parents were George C. and Nancy Sed
wick. Her father was a brother of
Joshua J*£edwick, formerly of Butler
borough.
bhe was broualit up in the Methodist
faith, to which church she early in life
united, and continued in faithful mem
bership until death. .She ever carried
in her heart the welfare of the chu.ch
and was active to promote its prosper
ity. She was always a regular attend
ant on the means of grace when her
health and family cares would at all
perm i t.
For a long time t-he had been a suf
ferer from a painful disease, cancer of
the stomach, which she endured with
calm submission and Christian forti
tude. All the means which medical
skill could devise or love suggest were
used for her relief.
Her husband, her daughter, the two
sons and their wives were unremitting
in their attention and vied with each
other to do something to alleviate her
suffering. The neighbors, too, were
very attentive.
She fnllv appreciated the- kindness,
but was conscious that all their efforts
to save her life would prove unavailing.
The parting was a sad one. but
"We leave our prayers with Him alone,
Whose will is wiser thau our own."
Mrs. Cramer for several years pre
vious to her marriage was a school
teacher, and a very successful one.
Many of her former pupils, now men
and "women, attended the funeral. It
was pleasant to hear the kind words
spoken of her.
The funeriil services, in the absence of
her pastor, who was iu attendance at
conference, were conducted by Rev.
Laub, of tbe Freeport Lutheran church,
assisted by Rev. Isaac Cramer, a brother
of her husband. They were very im
pressive. The interment was in Sar
versville cemetery. The funeral was
very largely attended. M N. G.

are expected to take stock and sign con
tracts to grow provisions.
Services were conducted in the
Church of God on Sunday eVening by
elder "Geo. M Hulme. Mrs. Hulme
sang at the services; she has a sweet
voice.

Zelienople mill, received a type-written
letter Saturday, mailed at Harmony,
which told him in plain terms of busi
ness transactions which were demanded
of him by Wednesday and H sum of
