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. If your name belongs ip
this list and does not appear ask
your teacher to forward her report.
As these reports are received other
names will be published,
The excellent showing made this
month by Colley Townehip pupils
shows what can be done when the
teachers take the interest we desire
them to take. Parents is your dis
trict as well represented here as it
should be? If not ask the teacher to
take more interest in this matter.
Let us see which district can get the
largest number on the Holl in pro
poition to the school jtopulation ol
the district.
Teachers get your reports in more
promptly. As scon as the contest is
held forward the result. Do this in
the space provided in the regular
monthly report.

guided them to their lodging places.

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

pended a large cross and crown em
bltm, illuminated with yellow and
white lights while all the buildings

Sad Fate lo Son of David Temple.
Picture Rucks,—Oct. 22. 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.
