John Dolan Killed by Lehigh
Valley Train No, 4 at East
Towanda
Lehigh Valley train No. 4
| afternoon, when it ran into and
killed John Dolan at the grade
crossing at East Towanda. Dolan
who lived on the hills near To
wanda was driving a spirited team
of young horses to his home. As
he approached the crossing No. 4
running at a terrific rate of speed
c:me in sight. The fireman saw
Dolan driving toward the crossing
and signalled to bim to stop. The
horses, however, became frightened
and notwithstanding the desperate
efforts of Dolan to hold them the
team dashed on the tracks directs
ly in front of the oncoming train.
Dolan’s body was thrown 75 feet
from the tracks, the wagon was das
molished, one horse crushed to
death, while the other was so badly
injured that it had to be shot,
Remarkable to relate Dolan was
alive when picked up by the train
men, His sko'l was fractured,
however, and there were numerous
bruises about hisbody. Dr. H. S
Fish the company’s surgeon was
immediately sent for and went to
Towandi. He was making prepar-
ations to bring Dolan to the hospi-
tal at this plaice when the injured
man expired. This is the second
man to bs killed by train N»>. 4

Lilley stands on the labor question

Sunshine or Shadow,
Editor The Valley R Record :
Congratulating you on your fearless
ght for the peop's in this eampaigu 1
beg space for a few words on two of the
candidates of the notorious gang who
are masquerading in the garb of Repub-
canlsm,
Candidate Stuar
Mr. Stuart's speech to about 200 peo-
ple in Bayre, mast have been a keen dis-
appointment to the few remaining adhe-
rents of the gang in this valley. Like
the guberpatorial miscarriage, Penny-
packer, of the great capitol scandal. “If
there is anythiog wrong, I'll iavesti.
gate,” From Mr. Stoart's speech we are
bound to infer that he refases to believe
that there has been any wrocg done to
the people of the state in the building
of the capitol. Probably Mr. Stasrt
thinks that the gang can do no wron=.
Bo, Mr. Stuart, you do not consider
anything out of the ordinary in the gang
spending £9,000.000 in mere trimmings
in a building which was completed for
$4,000,000 ?
And, Mr. Staart, you re‘uss to admit
your gang did a wrong thing when they
spent $2,000,000 of the hard earnings of
the people of Pennsylvania for the beg-
garly item of chandeliers.
And, Mr. Stuart, you sea nothiog
wrong ia tha gang squandering vast
sums of the people's money for what was
said to ba magnificent mahozany carv-
ings, whieh in rerlity was nothing bat
putty carved and painted?
And, Mr. Stuart, you can see nothing
wrong in thes gang squandering vast
sums in what they told the people were
magnificent statuary of carved marble,
when they knew it was but miserable
plaster of paris casts?
Now, Mr. S'nart, these are afew only
of ths miserable thefts of the politieal
gang of which you are the choice for
governor. These frauds bave been
clearly proven and the fact repeatedly
published for weeks and yet you come
with your silly if,
And, Mr. Stuart, you strive to make
much of the new primary election law
which the gang was forced by an over-
whelmiog sentiment to prsa. What does
your gang care for a primary law. Are
you not, Mr. Btuart, the very personifi-
cation of the gang's contempt for prim-
ary elections? Mr. Thompson and Mr.
Watres went to the people in the prim-
aries, each received a good vote and
came to the convention with a respect-
able number of instructed delegates.
Your gang simply told them to “go
away each and sit down.” You, Mr
Stuart, did pot bavea vote at the prim-
aries nor an instructed delegate at the
convention, yet the gang handed yon the
romination. And you talk of primary
election laws? The gang ignored the
old law and they will the new and you
know it.
And, Mr. Stuart, you were eloquent in
your promises of reform. Do you thick
the peopls have short memories? Only
last year your home city was engaged
in a death struggle with tha Penrose
MoNichol gang and other allied scoun-
drels. You skulked in your tent and re-
fused to ralse a finger in defense of your
bleeding city. Your reward for this
was the gang's nomination for governor.
And, Mr. Stoart, you were mayor of
Philadelphia during four years of Dave
Martin's reign of terror. He was your
political manager throughout your entire
term. According to Mr. Gibbony, secre
tary of the Law and Order society, and
the man who will be your district attor-
ney, murder was committed, ballot
boxes were stuffed and crime ran un-
bridled in these times. Did ycu cver
attempt to reform tha eity?
Citizen voters cf Pennsylvania, which
will you select as your governor, Mr.
Stoart, the candidate of the robber
gang, this man of straw, or the féarless
and uncompromising man of iron, Lovis
Exery, Jr.
Robert Young
The most gigantic fraud ever perpe-
trated upon an American prople since
the days of King George, is that capitol
steal of $9,009,000.
Rotert Young, the Republican gang
candidate for auditor general, was the
attorney for the commission daring the
time this enormous amount of money
was squandered. Now he asks you and
me to make him auditor general, so that
he may audit and pass upon the same
outrageous bills that he as attorney for
comm!ssion advised or approved:
Is not this preposterons? Will vou
doit? Will you make Robert Young
auditor general and give him the oppor-
tonity to cover up his own tracks?
His opponent, Mr. Creasy, the reform
candidate, has spent his ent're adalt life
fighting this same gang. For twelve
years he has lead the fight in the
assembly against fraud of every kind.
Which of these men do you think will
the more surely lift the lid? Freemen
of Pennsylvania, which will you vote
for’. Cimzex oy Bravronp CoUnTy,

Their “Star’’ Argument
Dear Sir:—1 have not been “‘Invit-
ed” to make any “speeches” in this
campalgn, being too obscure of course
for that; however 1 would like to
make a little “speech” In regard to
the Congressional situation; and al-
though a total stranger to you; would
ask the privilege of making it through |
your columns, with your reader for |
an audience,
Let me premise by saying that I
grievance against
have no personal
Congressman
acquaintance, do a even
by sight; and it is i. prone that he
Is unaware even of y existence;
so that it is not upon thelr personal
discuss the question as
should represent this district in Con-
gress.
As far as | have been able to learn,
neither the Regular Republicans nor
the Republican supporters of Mr. Em-
ery, are disposed to treat this mat-
ter fairly and openly. Some of the
latter seem to have a sneaking desire
to see Mr Lilley re-elected, but have
not the manhood to openly say so;
either through fear of offending their
Democratic allies; to whom they have
otherwise given very little consider
ation in this county; or from lack of
natural moral courage,and many of
the former, while loudly proclaiming
their party regularity, would for per-
sonal reasons, like to see Mr. Lilley
“knifed.”
President Roosevelt has unfurled
the banner of Reform, and upon it
inscribed the breaking of monopolies,
the control of trusts and corporations,
and a “Square Deal” in the interesis
of the “People”, and we are all fa-
miliar with the “hubbub” this policy
created In Congress and the nation
last winter.
It Is now alleged that the President
Is very anxious for the election of a
Republican House; and this is the
“Star” argument of the Republican
spell-binder, In asking for votes for
their Congressional nominee.
Whether this be true I know not;
but if true, so much the more for
Mr. Roosevelt if he then stullifies
himself, it is no reason why you and
I should do so.
It is a fact too notorious to be de-
nied that had the House been solidly
Republican of the same average class
as the Republican majority; the Re-
form measure proposed by the Presi-
dent, would have been received with
scorn and contumely; and he wonid
have been flonted to his face
It was only when the Democratic
minority decided to support those
measures, that it becamo possible for
the President to compel recognition
by the Republican majority, which
making virtue of necessity, gave to
the county such measure of Reform
as the leaders could not by antifice,
trickery and ultimate subservincy of
the President, prevent,
If the President is endeavoring to
have an Republican Congress chosen
along old party lines then he has
sunk the Patriot in the Partizan, and
is to that extent, less entitled to our
respect and support
What we want is a Reform Con-
gress, Not a Republican Congress,
not a Democratic Congress; but Con-
gress that will support reform mea-
sures from conviction, rather than
from party pressure, or fear of the
Presidential “Club.”
So the question now before the
people of this district is not so much
whether Mial E. Lilley or Geo. W
Kipp shall occupy a seat in Washing-
ton, as it is whether “Old Joe Cannon,
that arch “‘stand-patter’’ on all ques-
tions from the Tariff to ‘poker’
shall have the power to block the
wheel of progress and reform by |
means of packed committe and “gag”
rules
If you wish this old political fossil,
this steadfast ally of corporate greed
tines of this great nation through
his almost depotic power as speaker;
a fit messenger to carry your income |
to your political God, "Joe" has given!
a clean “Bill of Health’ to Mial (see
local papers) and Mial has promised |
to “stand Pat” for Joo’; athough |
this “bill of health,” might be like-
ened to a certificate by Judas to Peter
of the latter's faithfulness to Christ
(apologles to Peter and Judas)

to Vote a Split Ballot This
Year.
The Record wishes to sound a
warning to those of its readers who
may have in misd the splitting of
their ticket at the approaching
election. Unless the voter knows
exactly how to do the job, he is apt
tomark the ballot so that it will
be thrown out by the election
board.
Suppose that you desire to vote
for Emery for governor and Kipp
for congress, while your choice for
other offices may be in the Prohis
bition, the Socialist or some cther
party. In such case do not make
a cross mark in the square opposite
the name of any political party in
the first column on the ballot and
then attempt to mark opposite the
name of any candidate. as this will
invalidate your ballot. The proper
way to do will be to make a cross
mark opposite the names of Em-
ery and Kipp and keep out of the
pirly square. The safest way tn
record your vote for Enery and
Kipp is to make a cross mark
opposite the word DEMOCRATIC
in the first column on the ballot
Thus will you vote for Emery and
Kipp, for the legislative candidit:s
who are endorsed by both the Res
publican and Democratic partics,
and for the nominees for state
offices who are endorsed by the
Lincoln party. You will thereby
cast a ballot for good government
in the state, district and county.
Do not make a cross mark in the
¢quare opposite LINCOLN if you
also want to vote for Kipp. Mr.
Kipp is not on the Liccoln party
ticket,
