Godeharles has narrowed down to a point of silliness. lie imag ines that Mr. Godeharles is search ing for a wife and has commenced to part his hair in the middle and quotes what he might have said. Seouten's reputation for truth is such that he only wastes his news paper space in such buffoonery. Mr. Godeharles has been tried and proved his ability as a legislator, lie assisted all labor organizations in their demands before the last legislature. He has been endorsed by the two leading labor organiza tions of the State —The United Mine Workers and the Railroad Employees Union. They have rec ommended him to the people, is it necessary to investigate further? If a laboring man wants laws to protect him and his interest which the capitalists are always clamoring for, he must use his vote (regard less of party) to send his champion to the halls of Congress. Let us view the other side of the question. In Mr. Dickerman we find a Trust Magnate of the blue blood order. This information comes from many of the most respected citizens of Milton. It is known that it will be very pleasing to Mr. Dickerman to get his family into Washington society. He also has a cold million of dollars invested in iron indus tries hitched up to the Trust that must be looked after when the President begins his operation on them. We are reliably informed that he does not even reside in this district except a few weeks in the summer nor has he any of his great wealth invested in the district he hopes to represent. In fact the only thing of apparent interest to Mr. Dickerman in this district is to gel the scale of wages for a laboring man down to 89c a day. Do you propose voting to have such representation in Congress. We do not, nor could any party lines of influences hold us to it. See to it that the name of Fred. A. Godeharles is marked on the ticket you vote in November. Seouten commenced his campaign against A. L. Dyer with a Judas kisn. On the 27 of August he as sumed the role of a friend, and said to readers of the Herald : "If you are a friend to Mr. Dyer vote against him." In that article was made to appear that Mr. Dyer was a very good man himself, but he had been over-persuaided by Dr. Christian and others to be a candi date. Now note the change in his tune. On the Bth of October he said : "Be not deceived by A. L. Dyer, he will deceive you if you are not acquainted with him and he will deceive you if you are acquaint ed with him, unless you keep both eyes wide open. If that is what the News Item calls a good man, A. L. Dyer is IT." Slanderous imputations. These are unsupport ed by facts and may properly be ailed SCOUTKN-MANIA. i'h. X.nv.-s Item is certainly much obliged to Seouten for publishing his supplement, printing the text of the franchise bills and correctly quoting Rogers vote on these measures 'and I the amendments. We are obliged first because lie furnishes proof that every word we have said about the vote of Rogers is true, and secondly because any one 011 reading the two bills will see that they were passed in the interest of corporations. We sincerely hope that Seouten will place one of these supplements in the hands of every voter. House Bills 502 and 503 are the bills which Seouten himself said "were the most villianous legisla tion ever passed in this country;" they are the hills which Pattison and Guthrie ;are condemning in their speeches every day and night; they are the bills which lkeler, Guthrie, the Philadelphia Record and North American say were passed by brib ery; they are the bills of which Guthrie says that Democrats who voted for them "have forfeited all claims to public, confidence." and further that "every intelligent citi izen believes that bribery was used to pass, and that they are inexplicable 011 every other theory." Now Scout en's supplement shows that Rogers voted for the first two amendments ottered for the purpose of killing the bill; that he was absent when the third amendment was voted upon; that he voted against the other amendments and voted "yea" 011 the final passage of both bills. Now we have said nothing harsh about Mr. Rogers. We felt and feel that his vote 011 those bills called for an explanation, especially so as he was a democrat and his party was opposing the bills and more particu larly as he had first voted for two amendments to kill the bill. We have asked him to explain why he changed his mind, to tell us who he saw and what was said to cause him to vote for these corporation bills, aginst his fellow democrats and in deed with their {speaker in his ears calling them all kind of names. It is Pattison, Guthrie, lkeler, Crea sy, Dixon and Mayne who have said the harsh things. True we have printed some of the columns they have uttered in public, but in this we only do what other papers are do ing. It is Pattison, Guthrie A- Co. who say the bills were vile, that they were passed by bribery and corrupt ion, and that every Democrat who voted for it has lost his right to pub lic confidence. Seouten in his little supplement shows that Rogers was one of those Democrats and all we ask is for Rogers to explain his vote and tell us who he saw and what in duced him to change his mind and vote for such boodle bills. Is that abusing him? We confidently reck on not. Hut if he doesn't answer our demand 110 doubt the people will be heard from in November. In the little speech which E. G Rogers read to the Democratic Con vention he said, "During the sess ion we had a number of bills before the House very materially affecting the interests of farming, and also a number affecting mines, miners, la bor etc. all of which received my careful consideration and approval or disapproval, as appeared tome to be consistent with the wishes of the ma jority of those most interested." When Mr. Rogers made this state ment, it seems not to have occured to him that bound volumes of the Leg islative Record would get into this county. His approval or disapproval has no weight 011 two hundred and fifty five bills 011 which he cast no vote. Many of these legislated bills did affect the interests of farming, mining, laborers etc. We have more than once asked, "where was Rog ers when these bills were 011 their final passage, and echo answers Where? "There s a great common ground on which we all ought to stand; a ground upon which we all can stand cosnistently, and that is to oppose all political bosses; all political rings, and every form of policies oppress ion wherever it may be found." so said E. (J. Rogers in the late Dem ocratic Convention, and we heartily wish he was sincere in saying it, and would act accordingly. Consistency is a jewel. Are there no bosses in the Democratic party? Was it not by the aid of bosses that E. G. Rogers obtained his nomina tion? Was it not the bosses that caused Henry Ilichlin to withdraw? It is well known to the Dem >crats themselves that their party in this county is controlled by bosses, and without the help of the bosses no John D.

Year af ter year the Republicans in every township send their delegates to the county convention and after free con sultation they nominate men for candidates. There is no possibil ity of dictation. It is impossible for any organization to be more free from bosses and political rings than the Republican party. "The gang organ at Laporte will doubtless call attention to many oth er bills upon which the action of Mr. Rogers was exceedingly obnoxious to them. The fact that he seems to have displeased them in everything is the strongest evidence of his vir tue." So far as we recollect we have ex pressed our displeasure at Mr. Rog ers vote for the Rapid Transit Fran chise bill, because the Philadelphia Record and other papers say it was a "boodle bill" and he was originally opposed to it and then changed his mind. We also regretted his vote against the bill to prevent the pollu tion of streams, because if that bill had passed it would have been a good thing for the county. We also have expressed our surprise that he was absent and not voting on two hundred and fifty-five bills, some of which were of the greatest impor tance to the people of this county. We fancy that Mr. Rogers action on the matters above quoted are quite as obnoxious to the people of Sulli van county generally as they are to us. Seouten has a good deal to say about a statement made by Mr. Dy er to the effect that lie was not going to spend his money this Fall to pur chase votes. This remark, if made at all, Seouten twists by saying Dyer is going to spend "old Mat Quay's money" instead of his own. The truth is that Mr. Dyer has not a dol lar of his own or any other man's to spend for buying votes. He has enough of his own to pay his legit imate campaign expenses. Albert Dyer lias always been able to pay his honest debts and living expenses. He is no millionaire but he does not have to be sued to collect anything he owes. If elected Representative he will start in with a clean bill of health and will not have to vote for corporations to recoup himself. The Dickerman pay car passed through this Borough Monthly on its way to Dushore. It is not likely that the "stick to the ticket all the time" democrat will even get 8!) cts. out of the pay car. Hut the Demo cratic bosses beginning with Scout en and going 011 down the line will "scrape grease" enough to make things run smoothly even if Dicker man is defeated. A Democrat who is not ladled out at least $2"» from the Dickerman pay car is not looked upon as worth while. Vote for Ulysses Hird for Treasur er. His integrity and honesty are never questioned, his word is his bond, and backed by a fine educa tion he is thoroughly capable and will conduct his own affairs if elect ed. lie will place no deputy in the office. You will know exactly who will be found at the office when you go there to do business. He should be supported by every voter. It is said on pretty good authority that r. Dickerman before he was a candidate for congress thought B!)cts. a day good wages for a workingman. Since he is a candidate he is said to have changed his mind and he now thinks a workingman should get a higher rate of wages. Being a can didate has enlarged his ideas appar ently.

Drown, candidate for lieutenant governor, has always been the friend of labor. Ho Is a self-made man himself, having been a sheep herder on the plains when he was 15 years of age. On March 11 1897 (while a member of the senate), on the discussion of the resolution to Investigate the Indus trial conditions In the bituminous coal region. Senator Brown offered the fol lowing amendment: "That a committee of three of the house and two of the senate be ap pointed to Investigate the anthracite coal reglous under ine resolution, and a committee of three of the house and two of the senate be appointed to in vestigate the bituminous coal region, with the recommendation that mem bers of both houses be selected from the standing committees of both houses on mines and mining." Later, in tho discussion on the same resolution, Mr. Drown said: "Mr. Presi dent. I stated yesterday, when this resolution was referred to the commit tee on mines and mining, that I was in favor of the resolution. I was in favor of the investigation. I meant what I said then. I mean it now. If these people want investigation, I am per fectly willing to give it to them in a business way. 1 desire to disclaim any factional idea as controlling this im portant question. This affects the homes and interests of labor classes in this comonwealth. I do not wish to pose as a demagogue, but if anything can be done in any way to alleviate any suffering, or correct any evils that uiay arise, I believe that it should be done." v TO TIIH IIETUS AND DRVISKKS OF JOHN H.
