"ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE OF LIBERTY."
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.
