The importance of the coming elec tion in Pennsylvania has been called to the attention of the Republican voters of Butler county 1 number of times and as the day of election approaches the need of active work on the part of eyery Re publican interested in the saccess of the party is apparent. That Butler county will give a big majority for the entire Republican ticket there can be no doubt. The largest majority in the his tory of the county is desired, Pennsyl vania, the strong Republican state of the Union, should show its confidence in the administration of President Roosevelt by giving the entire ticket from the state down a rousing majority. The Republican party of Bntler county stands today undivided and strong for every candidate of the party; but be cause of this fact there is likely to be apathy among many of the Republicans who should be using their efforts to make the majority in Butler county a record breaking one. OCR COUNTY TICKET. The Republicans of Butler county nominated an exceptionally good ticket, this year—one worthy the support of every Republican in the county. They were nominated at a primary at which every member of the party had the opportunity to vote his choice and there should be no faltering now. Sketches of James M. Gal breath, Thomas Hays and A. M. Douthett ap pear on this page, and as to the men who compose the balance of the ticket the following can be truthfully said: M. L. Gibson, Republican nominee for Sheriff, was born in Buffalo twp., and raised in Washington twp., but has lived in But for some years. He follows oil well contracting for a living, and has always been an industrious, hard-working man. He was fairly nominated and is entitled to the full support of his party in the county. * John C. Clark, Republican nominee for Prothonota ry, is a farmer and oil producer of Washington twp., and is a son of Alex ander Clark, dee'd, of same township. He has always been an active Repub lican, is a worthy citizen, fully compe tent of assuming the responsible duties of the office, and will, no doubt, make an obliging and popular officer. "Winfield S. Dixon, Republican nominee for County Treasurer, is a son of James L. Dixon, uee'd., of Allegheny twp., but for many * years has been a farmer and oil produc er of Penn twp. He is an active and in fluencial citizen, and is a trustee of the M. E. church of his neighborhood, and has filled almost every office in the township. He is a careful business man and will make an excellent County Treasurer. J. P. Davis, Republican nominee for Register and Recorder is a man of about 60 years of age. He has been a farmer all his life, and his standing among his neighbors is attested by their almost unanimous vote. His terribly crippled condition has made life a constant trial and struggle fur him, and his nomination wis an em inently proper one. His mind is clear, his capacity undoubted, and his hand steady; and we have no doubt but that he will fill the office of Register and Recorder of Butler county to the full satisfaction of all its people. Kobert McClung, Republican nominee for County Com missioner was born in Oakland twp., but lived for many years in Concord and Fairview, serving for a term or two as Justice of the Peace in the latter. Some ten years ago he moved to But ler twp. and has since resided on his farm on the hill south of town. He is a shrewd, careful, business man: is well acquainted with the affairs of the coun » ty, and will make a good County Com missioner. James L. Patterson, The other Republican nominee for County Commissioner, was born and raised in Jefferson twp. and has lived there all his life. He is a farmer, stands well with his neighbors, is pleasant and courteous, and will, no doubt, make an agreeable County Commissioner. George S. Huselton of Penn twp. a nominee for County Auditor is a young farmer of Penn twp , a bright, responsible man, who has served his township as Tax Collector. H. C. Hazlett, the other nominee for Auditor, is a young painter of But ler, of good family and habits. Both men are fully competent to dis charge the duties of the office. Dr. J. C. At well, nominee for Cor oner, is a well-known physician of But ler, and is now acceptably discharging the duties of that office, by appoinment. Right on top of the speech by At torney General Knox comes announce ment of the formation of the Beef Trust. At present it appears as a modest corporation with a capital of one million dollars, but the understand ing is that there will be an increase to $500,000,000 and that this will include not only the breeders, the feeders and the butchers, but the retail dealers all over the county. This is the greatest proposition of the kind that has been suggested. HON. GEO. F. HUFF, OF GKEEXSBI'RG. fßjg> .mf ■ ' .'3|^Hfc * jrof iii' 1 1 jjßr - s;■ jSt 'jHkt'" ;' r " ''^^P^jjfljlH Republican Nominee for Longress-Butler Westmoreland Col. (ieorge F. Huff will receive the hearty and united support of the Repub licans of this county at the ensuing elec tion. From the Biographical History of Westmoreland County we excerpt the following sketch: Or e of the most energetic and public spirited men in Pennsylvania is ex- Senator (ieorge F. Huff, a remarkably able man and widely known banker, financier and coal operator. He is prominently idehtified with nearly every industry of magnitude or import ance that exists in the county. His paternal ancestry dates back to Baldwin von Hoff, (now Huff), who re sided on the family estates in Bavaria. His parental ancestors were John Fred erick and Susanna (Keim) Huff, both of whom are buried at Huff's Church. Berks county. Pennsylvania, so called because of the donation of land at that place by them for a church site and burial ground. On his maternal side he traces his an cestry back to Berlin, Germany, four generations to Jacob Bayer (now writ ten Boyer). Henry Boyer (grandfather) wis a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature from Berks county from 18:23 to 1827 and also in 1331. He was the founder of Boyertown, now a flourish ing municipality in Berks county. His daughter. Caroline Kreps Boyer, married George Huff (father), who moved in 1851 to Altoona. Pennsylvania, where George F. Huff attended the public schools and at the age of 17 years en tered the shops of the railroad at that place to learn the car finishing trade. After three years of labor he received, without solicitation on his -part, a high recommendation from his railroad em ployers to the banking house of Wm. M. Lloyd <fc Co., the leading bankers of Blair county, who invited him to take a position with them, which he accepted In 180") they sent him to Kbensburg, Pa., to establish a branch of their bank ing house. In that mission he was suc cessful beyond the expectations of all concerned"and in one year was recalled to the home office at Altoona. In 1807 he removed to Greensburg and established the Greensburg Deposit Bank of Lloyd. Huff & Co.. with branches at Latrobe and Irwin, Pa. These banks went out of business in 1873 011 account of the serious financial embarassment of the senior member of the firm, Mr. Wm. M. Lloyd. In 1871 Mr. Huff organized the Farmers National Bank of Greens burg, and was its first president, remain ing at the head of the bank until 1874-, when he took the management of its business as cashier and General Richard Coulter was elected president. Subse quently the officers of the bank procured an Act of Congress, changing its name and location. It then oecame the Fifth National Bank of Pittsburg and upon its removal to that city, Mr. Huff was chosen vice-president, which position he held until 1870, when he resigned In 1874 he helped to organize the Greens burg Banking Company, one of the most solid and substantial banking institu tions of Western Pennsylvania, and few banks in the state maintained so promi nent a position in the confidence of the public and wielded such an influence as this bank. Mr. Huff was its first cashier and remained in that position until 1887 when he resigned. His management of this institution was based upon wise, safe and economical financial principles, which best subserves and largely pro JAMES M. GALBKEATH. HBxk 111riffi MBKH i H ' - J wl H S - - 4HI Republican Nominee for Judge of this District. The sturdy ancestors of the subject of this sketch, whose portrait appears above, first came to Winfield township, this coynty, over a century ago. Four generations of the Oalbreath family were born on tbe same farm. This farmer boy, who is now the Republican nominee for Judge, first saw the light of day fifty years ago on the 27th day of September last. His father having died while James was still quite young he was thus early thrown upon his own resources. He received his primary education in the common schools of his native town ship, ar.d afterward attended Slate Lick Academy, Witherspoon Institute, of Butler, and entered Princeton College in 1870, graduating at the latter in 1880, with an award from the faculty of one of the first honors of the class. Possibly his proudest day was that upon which it was decided he was entitled to, and receiyed, over one hundred dollars in cash, this College's highest prize, to its best debater anil orator. Immediately upon graduating from college he entered the law office of W. D. Brandon, Esq , of Butler, and was admitted to the Bar over twenty years ago. He has been admitted to practice also in the Supreme and Superior Courts of our State, as well as in tbe U. S. District Court and many of the county courts of Western Pennsylvania. He has been in the active practice of his profession from the time of his admission and has a large clientage. An nntiring worker at his desk and a close study of the law, has enabled him to grasp and to become famil iar with every branch of law and praetico. Aside from his profession he is deeply and widely read generally His qualifications for the high office to which he aspires are admitted. He is possessed of the student mind, good judgment, learning, uniformly even temper, excellent disposition. A good listener, of easy approach, sympathetic, painstaking, patient, he is, in fine, thoroughly equipped to meet the interminable call upon the Judge to combine, compare, discriminate, weigh, adopt and reject. Such in brief is the story of the career of our subject who, from a poor fanner boy, has risen to the eminent position which he holds in his profession, due in large measure to a wise use of his time and opportunities, and an indomit able spirit and determination to succeed. In justice to him it may be said that no man in the community has won and retained to a greater degree the confidence and esteem of the whole people. tects the business interests of the coun try. He also took an active and promi nent part in the organization of the Southwest Pennsylvania liailroad Com pany, whose main line passes through the hep.rt of the celebrated Connellsville coke and coal region. This road has been, ever since its organization, one of the l>est paying railroad properties in the United States. Mr. Huff was its treasurer until the offices of that com pany were removed to Philadelphia and since then he has served ns a director. He has been au important factor in the development of the Jo lunette natural gas region and the building of the town of Jeannette. At Burrell, the adjoining station, he and his associates donated several acres of land for a manufacturing site. To the material development of Greens burg no citizen has contributed more than Senator Huff. His '-Rose Fountain Farm." which adjoins the city, with its several miles of drives, handsome groves and springs of pure cold water, has be come a favorite drive and pedestrian re sort Mr. Huff was married in 1871 to Hen rietta Burrell, daughter of the late Jere miah Murray Burrell. formerly President Judge of the Tenth Judicial District of Pennsylvania, and afterwards United States Associate Judge of the Territory of Kansas. Mrs. Huff is active in church and charitable work and interested in her husband's business affairs and coun sels with him in all important . enter prises. Senator Geo. F. lluff is a progressive Republican and can claim a larger per sonal and political following than any other man in his county. His political career commenced in 1880 when he came into national prominer.ee in the Republi can convention at Chicago as one of the "Old Guard" or "Immortal 30<>" in sup port of the "'Groat Commander" for the Presidential nomination. In ISH4 Mr. lluff was the Republican candidate lor State Senator in the 39tli district, com prising Westmoreland county. He was elected and served his constituents of ail parties faithfully for four years. In 1890 he was nominated and elected to Con gress to represent the district comprising the counties of Westmoreland. Indiana, Armstrong and Jefferson. In 1894 he was nominated by the Republican State convention as Congressman at Large. He was elected by a very large majority and served on several important commit tees to the great satisfaction of his con stituents. At the end of this term Mr. Huff announced his desire to retire from politics, his personal interests requiring much of his time. He declined to be a candidate for re-nomination for Congress man-at Large. He was subsequently prominently mentioned in connection with the otlicc of United States Senator. Col. lluff is now the Republican candi date for Congress in the new Westmore land-Butler district, having been urgent ly requested by all factions of the party to become a candidate. He consented with the understanding that he should not be required to contest within his par ty for the nomination at the primaries. He was therefore presented by Westmore land county to the District Convention as her choice for Congress without op position. Subsequently Butler county, through her delegates, after Mr. Showal ter's withdrawal in favor of Mr. Huff, seconded liii nomination, and in the most friendly spirit, made the district nomina tion unanimous, and his election is as sured. CAPTAIN THOMAS HAYS. JGJ I J« WJF Republican Nominee for Assembly. The above is a good likeness of Captain Thomas Hays of Bntler. one of the Republican nominees for Assembly at the ensuing election. He is an excellent citizen and is generally known, throughout the northeastern section or the county particularly. He was a soldier—enlisting at the age of 20 years and serving through the entire war of the Rebellion, having participated in many battles and endured many hardships in the service of his country and defence of its flag. HP cast his first vote for Lincoln in front of Petersburg, Va. The war being over he settled upon a farm in Fairview township, which he still owns. It proved to be an oil farm and this fact contributed much to his success. He has since con ducted it as a st<vck farm. A few years ago he removed to Bntler where lie has since resided. For a time he very successfully conducted the Hotel Waverly. His occupation since has been that of a business man. engaged in a varietv of enterprises. He is conscientious, carefnl and straight forward in all his business enterprises and has been uniformly successful. In brief Capt. Hays is a staunch Republican and has the quallihcations to make a good member of the Assembly. He is in close touch with the people and in his duties at Harrisbnrg will be guided by a wise, conservative iuugment. A. M. DOUTHETT. Republican Nominee for Assembly. Adam M. Dontliett of Brownsdale, Republican nominee for Assembly, is a son of David Douthett, dee d , and was born on the oid homestead in Forward township, in September of I*o4 He received his education at the public schools and at Witherspoon Institute, Butler, and was always noted for his industry. He received a teacher's certificate when but 18 years of age. and subsequently ob tained a Permanent Certificate. He taught school for ten years, and has since been engaged in a general store business at Brownsdale. In this business venture be has been successful and is held in high esteem by his customers and neighbors. The only public office which he has ever held was that of County Auditor which he filled for three vears beginning with the year 188*. He was au efficient Auditor, and filled this office with great credit to himself and to the entire satis faction of the people. His success in a business way kept pace with his advance ment in his former profession. He is classed among the leading business men of our county, and has'succeeded because he has merited snccese. Temperate and correct in hie private life, genial and courteous to all with whom he comes in contact, generous to the needy and unfortunate, deeply in terested in the charitable, educational and business affairs of our county, he has entrenched himself in the esteem of our people. He has won his way thus far through life without external advantages, save those of honorable parentage, good health and good character, and is in every way qualified for the important office to which he aspires. POLITICAL. the Greensburg party, consisting of Col. Huff, Col. Deuu\, tfaj McCormick. the Westmoreland County Chairman and Attorneys Bouch er aud Deuna Og'len, looked at Butler and interviewed Butler Republicans. In the morning a trolly party was givtn by Chairman Leighuer in their , honor. Col. Huff expressed himself as surprised and pleased at Butler s pro gress. At sp. m the Congressional party left for Chicora where a rousing Republican tally was held last night. There was a large and enthusiastic meeting of Republicans at Evans City. Tuesday evening, which was addressed by J D. McJunkin and Dr. Showalter; and also by Col. Huff, Drfnn'i Ogdeu and County Chairman McCormick of Westmoreland county. Chairman Quay of this state aud Chairman Dick of Ohio were called to time by President Roosevelt last Satur day for soliciting campaign subscrip tions from Federal office holders, con trary to the civil service act. which for bids Senators and Represenatives from so doing. The President stated the cases, quot ed the law, and opinious of Attorney General Knox and ex-Attorney Gener al Harmon, and said: "I hereby call the attention of all offi cers and employees in the Federal ser vice to the foregoing opinion, and warn them that the provisions of law as therein construed are to be by them obeyed and enforced. "Any official in the Federal service may without jeopardy to his official standing contribute or not, exactly as he pleases, providing he obeys the sec tions of the civil service act above refer red to. At Harrisbnrg last Friday Judge Simonton filed a decision declaring in valid the certificate purporting to nomi nate E. F. Acheson for Congress in the Twenty-fourth district, composed of Beaver, Lawrence and Washington counties. The decision was quite a sur prise, as it was confidently expected that the Court would support the Ache son certificate. The pivotal point of the case was the conference held in Pittsburg last Febru ary, when a rule was adopted providing for the nomination of a Congressman in the district by a poplar vote. The Court decided that this rule was not binding upon Beaver county, which was uurep resented at the conference, and that the nomination of Acheson, made without the concurrence and consent of Beaver county, cannot stand. The decision leaves the Republicans of that district without a regular candi date. Acheson's name will appear on the ballot, however, by nomination pa pers under the head of "Regular." Cun ningham has filed nomination papers under the title of "Citizen." I THROUGH the vigorous efforts of President Roosevelt the strike in the anthracite coil regions his been settled.
