LAPORTE, SULLIVAN COUNTY PA. THURSDAY OCTOBER 28,1909. ANDREWS SOUNDS NOTE OF WARNING Republicans Told of Danger of Over-Confldonco. DEMOCRATS ON STILL HUNT Seeking Complimentary Votes For Nominee For Supreme Bench and Banking Upon a Small Poll by Ma jority Party. LSpeclal Correspondence.] Philadelphia. Oct. 26. Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, chair man of the Republican state commit tee, today sounded a note ef warning to the Republicans of Pennsylvania. He made it clear that he expects every Republican votw in this state to do his duty on Nov. 2. With election day only about one week off the state chairman lnslata that there must be a lining up of the Republican farces 1H every county if the Republican ticket is to be elected, as it ought to be, by an overwhelming majority. Since early in September Chairman Andrews, from the head quarters of the Republican state com mittee in this city, has been directing an aggressive campaign. Not fch&t the Republican ticket is in danger; it la not. But many Republicans of Penn sylvania frequently ta'ke Republican success for granted and make no espe cial effort togo to the polls. It was this danger of over-confidence that Colonel Andrews had in mind to day. "Pennsylvania is the banner Repub lican state; we have the votes, and to poll the right kind of majority it is Dn-ly necessary for the voters to cast their ballots," Raid the chairman. "Many Republicans In an off-year like this, when there is no particular ex citement, proceed upon the theory that the rest of the party will vote and thus insure the election of the ticket. Now It is an axiom of, warfare array must constantly be on guard. I want to warn the Republicans of this state against the 'last card' in politics. They should see that Democratic ef fort does not threaten Republican suc cess. "The Republican party has a splen did ticket. A better one has never been offered the people of Pennsylva nia. A. E. Slsson and J. A. Stober are able and experienced men; they have records that commend them to the people, and they are public spirited citizens. They will contribute their full share to a continuance of good government in this commonwealth. The Judicial Canvass. "Judge Robert von Moschzlsker will make a great supreme court justice. He has a splendid record as a com mon pleas pudge; he Is known to the lawyers of the state as one of the ablest members of the Pennsylvania bar, and he has the confidence of all of the people. Not a syllable has been uttered against him since his nomination. His qualifications for the supreme bench are conceded by every body. He ought to be elected by a tremendous majority. His Democratic opponent, Mr. Munson, is presenting this state with a spectacle it lias never before witnessed. He is the only ean didate for a high judicial office, who. In his eagerness for elect: ;n has so far overlooked the proprieties as to make a personal and compromising campaign for votes. He Is now on a campaign tour, meeting the vo'.era and making what are nothing more nor leps than ordinary stump speeches. In Williamsport he maintains a large lit erary bureau, which has sent out Uiousands of documents and letter*, in which he asks the voters to sup port him as a non-partisan candidate. He lias adopted the endless chain sys tem of letter writing and by this means hopes to reach every voter In the state. "The old-fashioned Idea that judi cial office should seek the man and not the man seek the office manifestly has no place in the Democratic candidate's plan of politics. Ido not believe many Republicans will entertain for a mo ment the proposition that they vote for a Democratic candidate for the su preme court. "Mr. Munson's conduct in the cam paign illustrates his conception of.the dlgrlty of the highest judicial tribunal In this commonwealth. Judge von Moschzisker has taken no part what ever in the campaign. He has asked no one to voto for him. He will take his seat on the supreme bench with out havhig violated its sacred tradi tions. National and Btate Issues. "As I have repeatedly said, the elections in Pennsylvania this year are of national Importance. A failure of the Republicans of the Keyatone State to score a handsome majority would be accepted by the low tariff revision ists of the middle wejt as evidence that our people are not particularly in terested In the protective system. "A reduced majority will furnish an impetus to agitation for a lowering of the tariff rates. Pennsylvania is sat isfied with the new tariff law because It is bringing prosperity. It should be the first .state to record Its indorse ment of that legislation. "There is another and very sound reason why the Republicans of the Keystone State should poll an unpre cedented off-year majority at the com tag election. Next year we must elect Governor Stuart'B successor and other itate officials, a new legislature that KTill elect Senator Oliver's successor, ind a congressional delegation. A re duced majority in November would aot only be a backward step; it *tould ancourage the Democracy and Inspire It with hope of success in 1910. "The Republican party in Pennsyl rania has never been In better con- j lltlon than It is today. But, as I have ' laid, it is necessary that every Re- j publican do his duty on Nov. 2." A Worthy Candidate for District Attor ney. *F, \V. Meylert is this week calling upon the voters of the eastern section of the county in behalf of his candid acy for the office of District At torney. After nine years faithful service as County Superintendent of Schools Mr. Meylert needs no rcc commendation to the people of Sul livan county. The boys who were then in the schools and profited by his earnest work in the cause of edu cation are now his strongest support ers. His qualifications for the position of District Attorney are beyond que; - tion and his electiou will insure a continuation of the same careful and successful conduct that this office has received under the present in cumbent. Spelling Contest. These names are taken from the reports of teachers. As many of the teachers are tardy with their reports it is possible that other names should appear.

Prof. F. O. Exceil of Chicago led a choir of 150 voices. Bishop Darlington welcomed the convention in the name of the city jof Ilarrisburg, Though many de nominations represented, we can all I get together in study of God's word j and in Philanthropic and civic work, i Two great things we as ail organiz ation must do; tight intemperance and the desecration of the Lord's Day. Pres. Heinze responded; "Sun day school is not a failure but pays largest dividends." One of the most conspicuous fea tures of the convention, was the par ade of the Adult Bible classes com posed of between 7000 and 8000 men accompanied by 28 bands. The bands played and the men sang such songs as Onward Christian Soldiers, The King's Business and kindred hymus. At market Square was sus pended a large cross and crown em bltm, illuminated with yellow and white lights while all the buildings along the line of march were light ed brilliantly. Now and then large search lights were flashed on the capitol dome. The procession was headed by a platoon of police otticers on foot followed by mounted aides. Lebanon Co. had 1300 in line while the city of Beading sent 800 men. Many of the men carried the em blem of the class, a red ring with a white center, on canes and even the horses were decorated with the same. Some b Miners displayed ,the follow ing: Where men lead -boys' follow, The world for Christ, Every man a member, Our Aim—The World for Christ, e»e. The fourth division was supposed to be composed ex clusively of colored men but there were many other classes in the rear, after the parade a mass meeting was held in the Auditorium for men only.

On Friday afternoon the children of the city paraded, it was estimat ed that this parade equalled the former in numbers. It too, was accompaniod by a platoon of police and two bands.

Elmer Temple, 12-year old son (if David Temple, proprietor of the Glen Mawr hotel, was accidentally shot through thechest by his older broth er Friday morning and was in a critical condition at his home. 'I he bullet entered the boy's back and came out his chest, completely pene trating his body. The lad with his brother, about two years older, left their home Karly Friday morning to take their fathers cows to pasture. Their route lay along Hock llun, a favorite ground for hunters and the boys took with them their target rifle, a birthday gift, thinking to gel a squirrel on their homeward trip. The accident occured about a mile from the town. Elmer the younger was walking ahead driving the cows and the older brother was following with the gun and keeping a sharp lookout on either side of the road, in some manner the older boy's thumb slipped from the hammer of the rifle, the guu was discharged and the bullet entered the back of young Elmer, walking about ten feet in front of the gun barrel. The older brother callnl for help and the injured lad was picked up and carried to the house of John Buyer nearby. J>r. t.'ooner of this place was called, and investi gation revealed the fact that the bul let had completely penetrated the ! boy's right side, coming out the breast. Dr. C'oont r stated that if the bullet had entered a few inch's to the left death would probably have been instantaneous, Perils ol the Woods. Being shot in mistake for a chip munk or some other animal is not the only peril which besets the hunt er who ventures into the forests of Lycoming county. While the vo racious wolf and the ferocious pan ther no longer roam the wilds of that section, there are other bvastsof prey which lurk in the fastnesses of the forests which are ready to pounce upon and destroy those hum iu be ings who trespasse upon their nat -1 ural preserves. 'These wild beasts have been known to scare even the I boldest hunters from the woods and | their presence in the mountains has I deterred many amateur hunters from venturing far from the habi tation of man in their search for game. First is the dingmaul. This terri ble beast, which is a cross between the catamount anil a hyena, has his habitation in the Black Forest re. gion. The "Old Hick" who fre quents the peaceful village of Slate Hun occasionally will tell the hunt, er all about this animal. Although few persons have seen the dingmaul his tracks have been discovered in the marshes in the vicinity of (lie pump station, and his unearthly screeches at night have been heard in the lumber camps in Nigger Hol low." The ding nuul lives in a cave and has been known to travel many I miles in his search for birds and rab bits, although not objecting when hungry, to slay bears and deer. Then there is the wabbergoo, an other tierce and savage beast, which may be found—if the hunter be bold enough—in thtl wilds of Loyal sock Creek. This animal travels at night and therefore it is hard to describe it, but it is said by members of Ibe Neesmuck camping party that the wabergoo is an animal some ten teet long, with horns, cloven feet and a head resembling a bulldog. Xo hu man being has ever shot a wabergoo, and that they are ferocious is cer tain, as they have been known to eat a good-sized calf in one night- These two beasts are a menace to all hunters, hence city chaps who contemplate a trip into the above regins will do well togo prepared for trouble. —Williamsport News.
