There Is a spectacular campaign be
ing waged by a few malcontents
against tiie local Republican ticket,
with the aid of the Wananiaker news
papers.
The fact that all of the independent
newspapers are this time refusing to
foster the schemes of the Van Valken

chagrin to the old-time Insurgents.

the Philadelphia bar, and he has filled
the position as a member ot one of our
courts for the past seven years; a
young man of undoubted ability and
integrity, and a man, to my mind, who
will make one of the greatest jurists
ot this commonwealth. By reason of
hip position as a candidate for the su
preme court of Pennsylvania, he will
not he hpre tonight."
lie then paid a tribute to each of
the local candidates, nnd in present

the meeting, lie was very felicitous

was a great demonstration given in

This was undoubtedly ihe greatest

Senator A E Sisson, candidate for
auditor general, and former Senator
Jeremiah A Stober, the party's choice
for state treasurer, are ali men of high
standing and command the respect of
all who know them.
While the election of ail of them Is
conceded, there Is a demand from
those who have studied the situation
from a broad standpoint for the exer
else of special vigilance to guard
aeainst the dangers of over-confidence
or indifference in the matter of getting
out the party vote
While this is what ordinarily would
be classed as "an off year." it is ii
fact, a very important year it tin- jv
litlcal history of Pennsylvania
With the tariff revisionists already
opening their < amp.v - ti cat ya res
jorlty of the next congress even if It
shall be necessary to do so with the
cid of Democratic votes it behooves
Republicans, who believe that thf
present tariff Is going to greatly ben
tfit all branches of industry, to b>
their votes enter ati early protest
against any and all schemes to reopen
the tariff discussion, with the destruc
tion of business interests tl.at would
inevitably follow.

xne puniic roads in central Kansas
are such that a touring car can lie tal;
eu out almost any time. Mud cuts no
figure with the farmer, and tills is one
feature that makes bis car of such
value to him The town man will not
run his machine in the mud. but tlx
farmer doesn't care much Howevi :•
the farmers are talking good road
now more than they ever did before
and this Is one reform the motor cat
has brought about. Already In many
of the public roads the little gullio.-
have been tilled up and the little knot
have been cut down. More than 11
year ago the Salina motor club tiegai
the advocacy of good roads. The farm
ers were uot in general sympathy with
the motorists, and they were slow to
take hold of the scheme, arguing that
the roads In central Kansas were tioi
80 bad. They knew the object was to
make It easier riding for motorists
and especially for the tourists from
eastern cities, who desired to spend
the summer In Colorado, making the
trip overland.
Tho farmer, as a rule, laughed at
the idea then, but now he is right in
line. If he doesn't owu a car now lie
expects to some day, and he is in
hopes the roads will be made better
before his machine arrives on his
farm.
More roads were dragged last year
than ever before in the history of Sn
Una county, and it is safe to say that
the present year will be a record
breaker In this line of work.
