THE COMING ELECTION.
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.

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

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.

the Greensburg party,
consisting of Col. Huff, Col. Deuu\,
tfaj McCormick. the Westmoreland
County Chairman and Attorneys Bouch

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.

by J D. McJunkin and Dr. Showalter;

Chairman Dick of Ohio were called to

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."
