LAPORTE, SULLIVAN COUNTY PA. FRIDAY, AUGUST, 18 1911. fc *& s il fy2ffi£^j2fc' C> V" "*&* * ■$* 5 * y *s• *" > V^^- "& " **s -*sm \ !j A4RI^ jlw Slate Makers. We have information that a formal meeting of the Republican Slate makers was held at La Porte on Thursday evening at the Court House. What was agreed upon we do not know, but it is rumored that the slate was rearranged, and a nearly new set of men agreed up on for the county offices whose names will be announced when it is proper for the public to be in formed. The News Item, under its new management is a Republican paper, but Independent, meaning we are not dependent on the bosses, big or little. We belive that candidates for local offices should be known long enough before the primaries to give voters an opportunity to make inquires, and fix upon their choice with care and deliberation. The people of Sullivan County are really more interested in who coin pose the next Board of Com missioners than they are what party controls it. The local Democrats are better favored than the Re publicans in having ample time to canvaßS the merits of their cand idates. The News Item favors honest, clean, intelligent and able men for county offices, Republican prefer red when they fill the requirements. HILLSGROVE.

John has been until quite recently employed 011 the Mirror, so we know all about his qualities and qualifications. 11 is worst fault is in being so young, but if people will be patient and give him a chance, he will remedy that.
