PENNYPACKER IN BUTLER.
Notwithstanding the .rain a large
crowd of Republicans went to the P. &
W. station hist Friday evening, waited
for an hour on a delayed train, and then
gave Judge Pennypacker and his party
a hearty welcome to Butler.
They came in from Sharon and Mercer
on the "Bessie," supped at one of our
hotels, and then repaired to the Opera
House, where a large audience had as
sembled to see, hear and greet them.
After music by the band Dr. Leighner
' called the meeting to order, Col. Tbomp
son was elected to preside, and a long
list of V. Ps. and' secretaries named.
Col. Thompson opened with a few
glowing and eloquent remarks on the
prosperity of the Nation, and the glory
of the flag, and then introduced Judge
Pennypacker, who spoke, as follows:
"It is not my purpose to endeavor to
entertain you with a display of wit or
eloquence,but rather to reason with you
and to do what I can to sustain you 111
the support of the principles of the Re
publican party. I propose to discuss
with you for a brief time tonight the
mnch-mooted queetion of ballot reform,
a question to which our worthy oppo
nents seem to devote the most attention.
I am inclined to the belief their interest
in the matter is not so much because of
an effort to better our own condition, as
it is the hope that some device will be
discovered by means of which ma
jority party may have increased difficul
ties in polling their votes and having
them counted so that the minority party
may thus diminish to that extent the
distance between them.
"I am inclined to this belief for the
reason that in a large nuntber of States
in the Nation the Democratic party is in
control, and there the}' do not hesitate
to avow their purpose to prevent a large
proportion of the citizens from voting at
all. And that purpose they have ex
pressed, no 1 , only in legislation, but in
constitutional provisions. I have ob
served that the distinguished gentleman
who leads the opposition party and who
is seeking for an election as Governor,
while spending days and nights in de-
the people of the great State
uu|«un* govern, has no words
V 0 f condemnation or these more pro
nounced efforts in the Democratic
States.
"The existing law upon the subject in
Pennsylvania was devised in the inter
est of reform by others than politicians,
and it was based upon a system which
has been tried in Australia. It was
thought that by placing the names of
all nominees of all parties upon one
ballot; by segregating the voters in
separate booths where each one could
mark privately the names of the nomi
nees for whom he intended to vote, and
by printing the ballot and giving him a
number, fraud could be eliminated, in
fluence be overcome and safety assured.
"The gentleman who was then the
Governor of the State, looking to the in
terests of the Commonwealth as well as
to the interest of the Democratic party,
which he represented, approved of the
bill and under his signature it became a
law. I think it must be admitted that
the plan which was intended to aid in
eliminating indecent yoting has in
practice worked just the other way, not
because the means are not provided, but
because the complications are such that
the ordinary voter will not make the
effort necessary to utilize them. Con
fronted with a huge ballot and numbers
of names and fearful of making a mis
take when left to himself, he escapee
the difficulty by a simple plan of mark
ing a cross mark at the head of the
party ticket. And that is the end of it
In my opinion the out-cry about frauds
at the elections in very much exagger
ating the actual situation.
"I have heard much about it and I
have read the speeches of the distin
guished gentlemen of the opposition
party and I have read the ed ltorials in
their newspapers and that "ia my con
clusion. They are allep ed to occur
mainly in the good, old, b onest Quaker
city of Philadelphia, 'and to be due to
two causes, the padding 0 f the registra
tion lists and the g cuffing of ballot
boxes,
"Now, then, I think that if you are
disposed to look at the matter reason
ably you can aee that there is compar
itively little foundation for the charges
made. At least this is my conclusion.
If at any time on election day 1 fail to
* cast my vote until night some indus
trious man comes to my house, rings
my door bell and asks me to get to the
polls and vote. You have seen out here
in the country districts where these in
dustrious peraens travel for miles to get
the reluctant .voter to cast his ballot.
What would be the use of thf men
doing this if they had the means to stuff
the ballot boxes?
"For 13 years, as a judge of the
Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia
it has been my duty with other judges
to count the votes cast. During all that
time, while instances have been quite
frequent in the mistakes in the papers
the instances of actual fraud have been
exceedingly few and I am satisfied from
my experience and it is also the ex- i
perience of Judges Gordon, Arnold 1
and McCarthy, who represented the
minority party, that this is the case.
If such frauds existed, as has been al
leged, you would certainly have heard
of them.
"It is also said that the assessors had
the registration lists fixed, but if such
was the case there was a remedy in the
. courts for them. In the latest census
* return? it was reported just how many
male citizens and how many naturaliz
ed citizens there were in Philadelphia,
and they numbered 322.5J50. Now the
registration lists made up by the as
sessors numbered 320,422 so that instead
of the assessors having registered a
greater showing by padding of the list,
the number was less than the report of
the census showing the number entitled
to vote.
"At the election of District Attorney
John Weaver last year the number of
yotes cast was 91,000 below the registra
tion. Is it not plain to you that it would
be utterly futile to pad the lists when
there is such a difference between the
registration and the voters who vote.
Why should the lists be padded whon
there was a margin of 01,000 from which
they might have called, and yet failed
to do so V While it does not govern the
whole ground, it amounts to a demon
stration.
"There are people who are properlv
dissatisfied with the ways the reform
ballot law has worked. It is to my in
terest, it is to your interest, and it is to
the interest of every good citizen that
every precaution should be taken upon
this delicate question. It may well be
said that the whole fabric of our govern
ment rests upon getting out the vote of
all citizens, and any measure which is
proper should receive the support of
every man interested in the welfare of
onr government It seeins tj me that
such a question should be settled in a
business-like manner.
"My method would be to select a fore
most lawyer in whom everyone has con
fidence in the ranks of the Republican
party, and likewise one selected from
the ranks of the Democrats and let them
come together and consult with the
practical men of the party, taking ideas
which the latter have gained by prac
tical experience, and then draft a proper
bill to be submitted to the Legislature.
I assure yon that if I am elected the
Governoi such an act. if it fan be paw- !
ed, shall have my support."
He was followed by Hon. William M.
Brown of New Castle, Repulican nomi
nee for Lieut. Governor, who made a
rattling, old-time. Republican speech
on National questions. It was the first
time the majority of that audience had
heard Brown, and they were very great
ly pleased with him.
Then old General Latta fallowed with
some funny stories which k»pt the
audience in a good humor; the meeting
adjourned and Judge Pennypacker went
down on the floor and shook hands with
all who wished to meet him.
Altogether the meeting was a success,
and the Judge made a favorable im
pression on the people here.
Judge Pennypacker and party took a
drive around Butler, Saturday morning
and then took a train for Johnstown.
Cambria county, where Attorney Gen
eral Elkin met them and sat side by
side with the Judge at the meeting that
night.
"The theatre there was packed with
men who sent a solid delegation to
Harrisburg last May to vote for Elkin
and are still smarting over his defeat,
although willing to follow his leader
ship in the war against the Democrats
in the interest of Pennypacker. Elkin
made a declaration of his purpose to
support the ticket and the man who de"
feated him through Quay's influence.
Pennypacker again donned his pug
ilistic clothes and answered Guthrie's
speech of the day before, regarding the
•corruption in the late legislature.
Elkin's speech promising loyalty to
to the Republican party and his intima
tion that he would again enter a simi
lar contest for Governor when the pro
per time arrives caused another tumul
tuous scene.
The party were in Bedford county,
Monday night, and Huntingdon county
Tuesday night. In Bedford county
Pennypacker talked about the tariff:
and Elkin defended the late legislature
for passing the "ripper bill."
CUB RENT EVENTS.
The deaths, lately, of two of the phy
- Bicians of Butler, both of which were
caused by consumption, directed the
attention of this com munity to the
ravages of that disease.
Physicians tell us that it is caused by
a microbe or bacillus; that it is contag
ious, and that, excepting in its last
1 stages.it is curable; and yet statisticians
tell us that one-seventh of the entire
human race die of it.
All over the civilized world its vi c
tims try a change of climate for it. Of
the two doctors referred to one went to
Colorado and the other to Arizona in
the hope of relief; in Euiope the favor
ite resort for consumptives is the Ri
viera; while many English go to the is
land of Madeira. The principal street
of the town of Funchal on that island is
composed of liquor and mourning-goods
stores, which flourish, side by side.
Anthracite coal has .gone tip to S2O a
ton in Philadelphia and New York, the
opt rators yet refuse to arbitrate, law
lessness continues,and more troops have
been sent to the scene.
"For those who want to see the whole
truth," says the Dispatch, "in addition
to the undeniable misdeeds of both
sides, a greater fact is beginning to
loom up through the confusion and dis
pute. We are beginning to discern the
outlines of a power which, created un
der the pretext of facilitating commerce
and indufltry, can bring production and
exchange to a dead stop and confront
the masses with want. Under the old
system such an embargo upon opera
tions -was impossible. Where there
were a hundred or a thousand competi
tors in the work of supplying a public
need the majority were controlled by
the necessity of meeting the public de
mand . Bub here we see the centraliza
tion of control in such degree that with
the prosper t of millions of people being
left withorit fuel for the coming winter
the deadloi ?k goes riuht on, regardlees
of the dire results already impending."
At Was hington, last week, it was
found th*t the President's injury was
not healir g as rapidly as was expected,
and on 8a turday the wound was reopen
ed, which proved the wisdom of his
medical advisors in forbidding hiin to
finish hig western tour. However be
made two notable speeches, one at Cin
cinnati on the trust question, and the
other at Logansport regarding the tar
iff."
"The country by this time has been
fairly well grounded in his views, we
take it. He holds that tariff smashing
woold not cure the trust evil, for the
reason that as a rule trnsts are not mo
nopolies, hence any free listing to harm
trustß would harm in like measure the
independent business in the same line.
He believes thoroughly in publicity.
With publicity -.o innocent citizen
could be victimized, as in the case of
the asphalt conspiracy which is now be
ing aired. It would be impossible for
criminal combinations to cheat the peo
ple, and that is what the people need
protection against, the criminal trusts.
He thinks that much can be done under
existing law, but he seeks a constitu
tional amendment under which the
government would be given a certain
supervision over combinations.
"As for the tariff, the President be
lieves that the schedules should keep
pace with the constantly changing con
ditions. He would not permit a gener
al revision of the tariff, because that
would up-root business, destroy confi
dence and values and plunge the coun
try into disaster. His idea that a per
manent commission should make sug
gestions as to changes from time to time
is a good one. He would have the
whole question taken out of politics.
But that, says the Philadelphia Inquir
er, ia a dream of the future "
In politics Pennypacker and Pattison
and their parties are stomping the
state, and vigorous campaigns are in
progress in several states The New
York Republican convention declared
for Koosevelt. More western railroads
have been consolidated. The situation
in Panama is said to be improved, while
in Venezuela it is worse. The Venezue
lans were "called" some days ago for
making a treacherous use of our flag, as
against the insurgents. Their gunboat
Restaurador, which used to be Jay
Gould's yacht Atlanta, steamed up the
Orinoco river to make a second attempt
at bombarding the city of Cuidad Boli
var In order to disarm suspicion and
to avert attack it hoisted tbe Stars and
Stripes, and in this way proceeded with
out opposition to the Customs House,
from which point it opened fire on the
centre of the city. There was some
consequent loss of life and much dam
age to property in the foreign section of
the town. It is stated that this outrage
was committed in spite of the protests
of the foreign Consuls.
In China the Boxers are not boxing to
any great extent at present, and the
Russians and Englisn have giyen up
possession of the railroad from Pokin
they retained possession of, though
Manchuria is likely to remain indefinite
ly in possesion of the Russians.
..I
The Division of Butler.
At the session of Court, Monday, with
Judges Miller and Greer presiding, the
scheme to divide Butler into election
precincts was consummated. There
was but little objection to the division
of the First and Second wards, except
ing as to the inopportune time, for they
have been polling a large vote for some
years; but as to the Third ward which
has heretofore l>een the smallest in pop
ulation in the town, and into which
there has lately come a large number of
outsiders, negroes and dagoes, strenuous
objections to its division at this time
and to the appointment of strangers on
the boards were made.
On Monday Attorney Vanderlin with
drew the petition as to Butler twp. and
made an argument in favor of dividing
the three wards. He was answered by
Attorney T. C. Campbell who presented
numerously signed petitions of the three
wards in question, protesting against
the division ju6t on the eve of an election,
also a petition signed by 40 members of
the Bar. H. H. Goncher stated that
there were five election booths for each
of the wards, which multiplied by 720
minutes in the voting day, made 3600
minutes, which would allow the legal
allotment. 3 minutes, for 1200 voters,
thus showing the lack of foundation for
Vanderlin's argument. John M.
Thompson, A. M. Christley, R. P. Scott
and A. G. Williams also spoke against
division. But it was evident from the
remarks interspersed by Judge Miller,
that he was bound to divide, and divide
he did
The First and Second wards were di
vided as per the original petitions,
while the Third was divided into three
precincts, as follows:
Ist, all territory south of the creek;
voting place, house of Mary E Covert,
now owned by brewing company;
election officers, judge, W. J. Marks,
inspectors, Geo. C. Beihl and Cnas
Roessing. Second precinct, all territory
north of the creek and east of Sullivan's
run; voting place, court house: election
officers, judge, Joseph J. Elliott, in
spector. George McCandless and Lewis
Sneiririg. Third precinct, west of Sul
livan's run and north of creek: voting
place, George Stain ms house; election
officers, judge. George C. Pillow.
Inspectors were not appointed for the
last named (the Car Works; district and
it remains to be seen whether any
Dunkeys or O'Reilleys from thelord
knowswhere are put on.
This adds four new election districts
to the county at an annual expense of
about S3OO, and at the same session of
Court a petition for the division of the
Fifth ward was presented.
The First Warders will hereafter vote
at Victor Bayonette's store, and at the
old place; the 2d warders at John Flani
gan's carpet weaving shop on Carbon
St. and at the old place; and the 3d
warders at the Court House; the former
Coovert residence on Negley Ave. and
at Geo. Stamin's and an order was made
on the County Commissioners to furnish
booths, duplicate registry lists, etc.
Same day Winfield twp. was divided
as petitioned for; the election place for
the new district to be the house of
Henry Post in West Winfield, with
Craig Smith, Michael Yoe and J. Frank
Ewing as the election board.
A CARD.
BUTLER, PA., Sept. 30, 1901.
To the Editor of the Butler CITIZEN.
My dear sir:—l deem it proper with
your kind permission to express through
the columns of your valued paper my
appreciation of the support the Repub
licans of Butler county have always
given me, and to say that I am pro
foundly grateful.
In the recent contest for the nomina
tion for Congress in the district I did
what I belieyed was for the best inter
ests of the party and county.
After a successful contest in the
Dauphin county Court, in which the
rights of th« county were vindicated. I
was compelled to yield all persoual in
terests and, for the good of the party,
ask my conferees to vote for the nomi
nation of Col. Huff.
Col. Huff refused to meet me in con
ference. His attorneys had advised nan
that no legal nomination could be made;
that the time was too short to convene
the two County Committees to adopt a
rule; that no nomination could be made
without first having a rule; hence there
was no use in our meeting in conference.
He declared his determination to take
out nomination papers.
I had the same right but I knew well
what the usual result is when two Re
publicans are contesting for the s-inie
office —the Democratic opponent gets ir.
I could not force him to meet me.
I did ndt want to see the district lost,
so there was nothing I could honorably
do except to say I would nominate biui.
I told him this on Monday night, the
last night on which a nomination coald
be made. Then his attorneys, instead
of insisting that we could not make a
legal nomination, immediately changed
their tactics and commenced to devise a
plan under which the nomination could
be legally made. I think it due me to
make this statement as the dispatch
froui Greeusburg to the Pittsburg pa
pers and which was copied in the But
ler papers was erroneous. I did not
state to the conference that I had felt
the pulse of the two counties and had
found the sentiment generally for Col.
Huff. Such a statement would have
been false, as I had beyond question of
doubt the sympathy and good wishes
of every loyal Republican in Butler
county. I did state that I was a true
Republican and was desirous of the
election of a Bepublican from the dis
trict and that as the equities were with
Westmoreland I would yield and would
support Col. Huff.
The truth is I had received assuran
ces of support from Westmoreland
county sufficient, in the opiniou of
many, to have warranted me in contin
uing in the race with bright prospects
of success in that county, and of the
honest, hearty, loyal support of Butler
county, I would never permit a doubt.
In conclusion I ask my friends, one
and all, to loyally support the ticket
from top to bottom.
We have a good ticket—every man on
it is deserving of and entitled to the
active support and influence of every
Republican voter. Let us see to it that
they Have it.
Very sincerely your friend,
J. B. SHOWALTER.
