LAPORTK, PENNA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1898. Political Pointers. Now that people have found in tin cool weather a gratifying relict* from the prostrating effects of the heat and humidity that have steadily prevail ed throughout the summer, their at tention will lie about evenly divided between the fag ends of war news iand the unraveling of political mysteries. The tug of war within ' the political lines is yielding gradu ally to activities of a demonstrative j character over the strong undercur i rent of feeling that prevail. The | matter of State issues are left for j others to wrestle with, —the local ticket is of more importance: It strikes nearer home. t+ t t The candidates whose names are being most discussed, areas follows : 11. \V. Osier, candidate for Sheriff, who has shown a sturdy and 1111- ' swcving devotion to principles of 1 high rank and the advancement of | interests conducive to better citizen ship and pure government in local affairs, and by such fidelity has won |an enviable record and set a bright j example to the weak and teniporiz ' ing; it therefore behooves u< all irre spective of party, on this occasion as we enter upon another campaign to once more step to the front and place the stamp of our approval upon such a candidate as we know worthy of our united support. tt t + It should therefore be resolved by the citizens of Sullivan county to favor for the office of I'rothonotary I that magniiicant type of American ! manhood, \V. .1. Lawrence, who has ; rendered faithful and most efficient service in that station during the present term that is about to end. A man of sterling qualities who will get the large majority that he justly mi rits. tt t t There is a healthy sentiment that seems to be growing in volume as election day advances. It is that of the intelligent citizens awakening to I the needs of an honest, business-like ■ and capable man to represent a pro gressive people at I larrisburg, and heartly endorse the election for office i of Assembly our esteemed and popu lar fellow citizen Dr. .1.1.. Christian : a man of marked ability with truth and fidelity linked with his unstaiu jed record who has the courage to take a prominent and outspoken stand in the campaign, claiming no | allegiance to factions nor to party I dictators whatsoever, and a man whom all citizens favoring honest government can conscientiously lay | their support upon with confidence ; us his integrity has before been tried ! and not found wanting. It is there fore natural that he meets with the ! stamp of approval from every fair-, i minded man throughout the entire | countv. t+ t + Of equal strength .on the ticket is i \V. 11. Wood in. As candidate for Congress he is a most formidable opponent,and is causing loss of much ! sleep to his adversaries. Mr. Wood ■ ill's record is an enviable one. lie I entered his father's car shop in the : capacity of an ordinary workman cleaning castings, after leaving col lege where his record was one of brilliance. He worked his way up ! from the bottom, learning the details of the business by practical exped ience, and his close application to business soon caused his advance i nient until he reached the head of the establishment which he entered in its humblest capacity. ll*' is a i prominent light in political affairs, iand the idol of the I,(> 00 men over which he reigns with generosity. And, figuring high, as he does, in church societies, organizations of various kinds, his social life in Ber wick figures with great prominence. : It will, therefore, be seen that Mr. i Woodin carries with him not alone a political following of unusual sig nificance, but his popularity extends i into every walk of social or public j life, making him a dangerous candi- 1 : date for his adversaries. t t t As a public officer some men are ; worth more than others and some I are wortli-less.
