A
Story of the Career of Republican
Nominee for State Treasurer.
S FARMER AND WOODSMAN
from An Humble Boyhood He Hat
Risen to a Position of Prominence
and Influence His Loyalty to Party
Has Merited Recognition Given Him.
Philadelphia, Sept. 24 As the cam
paign progresses Interest racreoses In
the personality of each of the candi
dates on the Republican state ticket.
The Republican nominee for state
treasurer, Hop. Frank O. Harris, of
OerSeld, is perhaps the best known,
on account of his activity In public
.lfe and his official career as a member
of the general assembly. Mr. Harris
will probably be called upon to take
the stump later In the canvass, but
his colleague on the Republican ticket,
HON. FRANK 0. HARRIS,
Republican Nominee for State
Treaaurer.
Justice W. P. Potter, of Allegheny, on
account of his occupying a seat on the
supreme bench, to which ho aaplres to
election by the people, will make no
speeches, and will not otherwise take
any pRrt In the campaign.
Mr. Harris was born at Karthaus,
Clearfield county. Pa., November 6,
1845. He Is the second son of John
Harris, a native of the dty of Glasgow,
Scotland, who came to America In 1840,
nnd settled in Clearfield county and
worked as a miner and furnaceman.
His mother was Eleanor Graham, who
waa born in Centre county. The
mother died when Prank was but 3
years old, and was buried at Poik Fur-,
nace, i larion county, ra.
At the death of his mother the home
was broken up and the boys found
a home among friends. Frank G. Har
ris, the subject of this sketch was taken
Into the home of Samuel C. Patchln,
who married his aunt, Hotty Graham,
where he lived and grew to manhood.
John Harris, the father of Frank G.
Harris, was married a second time, his
second wlfo being Eliza Scott, of
Brookvllle, Pa., where the father died
In 1855. Frank G. Harris and his
younger brother, Bruco, are all that
remain of the family. From the time
he was 12 years of age, when his early
school life ended, Frank worked on the
farm in the summer and in the winter
worked In the lumber woods and on
a saw mill, and became u practical
farmer and lumberman. At the age of
16 he made his first trip down Uio Sus
quehanna as a raftsman, and at 20 he
was one of the best pilots on the river.
Frank G. Harris oarly inherited his
Republicanism from the Patchins and
from George Atcheaon, a stalwart Irish
Abolitionist, who lived a neighbor to
the Patchins, and who kept a Btatlon
on the underground railway for runa
way slaves and often employer! young
Harris to drive his team, at night, to
Sammy Rank's in Indiana county,
where the escaping slaves were turned
over to Hank to be hurried on to the
next station.
AS SCHOOLMASTER AMI LAWYER.
At the age of 24, Frank G. Harris
entered Dickinson Seminary at Wll
llamsport, Pn., from which he waa
graduated in June, 1873. In Septem
ber, 1873 he entered Itfuyette College
at Easton, and graduated from that in
I stltutlon In the famous class of 1876.
In the fall of 1876 he was elected prin
cipal of the Clearfield grammar schools,
I which position he filled until 1881. On
' January 14, 1879, he was admitted to
i the Clearfield county bar as a student
of Murray ft Gordon, nnd on April 15,
1879, he married Elizabeth F. Balrd,
daughter of Benjamin Balrd, of Clinton
county, Pa., his wife having been a
teacher in the seminary where he met
her when a student. For 23 years Mr.
Harria haa been a successful practi
tioner at the Clearfield bar, and during
all his life he has been a stalwart
Republican, serving his party as chair
man, as delegate to state conventions
and upon the stump faithfully and well.
Much of the credit of turning a Dem
ocratic majority of 2,500 into a Repub
lican majority of 1,500, and making
Clearfield county a stalwart Republl-
! can county, Is due to the able leader
j ship of Frank G. Harris. In 1896, Mr.
Harris was urged to become a candi
date for the legislature, to which he
was elected by 1.400 majority. He was
re-elected in 1898 and again in 1900.
In 1899 he served on the judiciary gen
eral committee, and other important
committees, nnd as chairman of the
committee on fish and game, nnd was
tho author of the game law of 1897.
During the session of 1899 Mr. Har-
ris served ap chairman of the judi
ciary general committee, the most lav
. portant legitilative committee in the
i house, and because of his fairness and
ability he was reappointed chairman,
of the same committee for the session
-f 1901. In 1901 he was a candidate
for the speakership, but withdrew in
the Interest of harmony and sepported
Hon. W. T. Marshall for that place.
BELIEVES IN MAJORITY RULE.
Believing In thi principle of the
right of the majority to rule, Mr. Har
ris voted- for Hon. Roles Penrose for
United States senator In 1897, and for
Hon. M. S. Quay In 1898 and In 1901.
Many of the most important bills that
have become laws since 1891 were In
troduced and supported by Frank G.
Harris; and the famous anti-oleomargarine
law of 1901 In the Interest of
the Pennsylvania farmers was Intro
duced Into the house and supported
by him. The whole legislative career
of Frank G. Harris has been fair, up
right and honorable, and his ability
and Integrity are unquestioned.
Hon. W. O. Smith, of the Punxsu
tawney Spirit, who has known Mr.
Harris for many years, and who
served with him in the legislature,
says: "Frank G. Harris, our neighbor
from Clearfield, who received the nom
ination for state treasurer. Is a man
of sterling qualities, who will per
form the duties of that office In a
manner that will reflect credit upon
his party and upon the state. He la a
man for whom everybody who admires
pluck and perseverance should take
pleasure In voting. Loft an orphan
boy In early childhood, he struggled
up through poverty and toll to an hon
orable position among men. Mr. Kel-
ley, in placing him in nomination, said
he had known Frank Harria from child
hood, and had never known hlra to do
a dishonorable act. Men are true to
their characters, and a man who has
kept his Integrity for more than 50
years and won the confidence and es
teem of his neighbors, la a safe man
to trust."
A DEMOCRATIC TRIBUTE.
And Matt Savage, of the Public
Spirit, the leading Democratic paper
of Clearfield, Mr. Harris' home, says:
"Mr. Harris Is known at home and
abroad as a man of high character.
I strictest Integrity, undoubted honesty
and unquestioned ability." For 30 years
Mr. Harris has been an acceptable
member of the Methodist Episcopal
church. He Is a member of Clearfield
Lodge, F. and A. M.; past high priest
of Clearfield Chapter, Royal Arch Ma
sons; past eminent commander of
Moshannon Commandery, Knights
Templar, and a member of Zem Zem
Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles
of the Mystic Shrine, at Erie, Pa.
A I
Republican Nominee for Supreme
Court Has a Brilliant Record.
THE STORY OF HIS CAREER
A Hard and Devoted Student and a
Successful and Popular Member of
a
the Bar, Who Has Won the Respeot
and Admiration of the People.
The Republican candidate for Asso
ciate Justice of the supreme court of
Pennsylvania, Hon. William Plumer
Potter, of Allegheny county, has had
nn Interesting career. He will not be
present at any of the political pather
ings during the campaign, but the ora
tors will have an opportunity to speak
for him and In his behalf, and they
can point with pride to his brilliant
record as n member of the bar and a
justice on the supreme bench. Justice
Potter Is a man whoso instincts cm!
HON. WILLIAM P. POTTER,
Republican Nominee for Supreme
Court Justice.
training combined give him especial
qualifications for the supreme bench.
When his name was first mentioned
In connection with the supreme Judge
ship the bench and bar of Allegheny
county were of one accord in acknowl
edging his possession of that even
tempered nature and broad and gener
ous culture which are so essential to
the judge In the minds of all who cher
ish high Ideals In government With
potential friends In nearly every craft
and calling in the community, the sat
isfaction over his appointment to the
supreme bench in September, 1901, was
universal In the community In which
he has resided and Is so widely known.
Justice Potter was born In Iowa
April 27, 1857, being a son of James
H. Pottor, a Presbyterian clergyman.
He Is of Scotch-Irish ancestry, his
great grandfather, Henry Potter, hav
ing emigrated from the north of Ire
land about the year 1800, and settled
near Pittsburg, where the subject of
this sketch now resides with hlB wife
and two daughters, he having married
Miss Jessie Deacon, of Des Moines,
Iowa, in 1884.
His early life revealed an ambition
to accomplish something In the world
and that youthful restlessness so com
mon to the majority of ambitious youn,,
men, Induced him to leave Lafayette
College, at Easton, before his course
tad been completed In order to accept
a .position in a bank and earn bis own
livelihood.
His love for books, however, con-
Jill
tinned to assert Itself and a strong
predilection for the law final, j led him
to enter upon a course of legal studies,
as a result of which he was admitted
to the Iowa bar in 1SS0. In the fol-
lowing year he returned to Pittsburg.
where he devoted himself to an addl
tlonal and thorough course of study,
qualifying himself for a rigid exam!-
nation for admjsslon to the Allegheny
couniy oar, or wmch he Became a
member In 1883. After six years' prac
tice he formed a partnership with Wil
liam A. Stone, then a member of con
gress and at present Governor of Penn
sylvania. SECRET OF HIS ADVANCEMENT.
From the date of his admission to
the Pennsylvania bar he made ateady
and substantial progress, and If the
query were asked, what haa been the
secret of that advancement the answer
would be this:
Eighteen years of unremitting toil
over books and briefs; 18 years ef bat
tles with the most astute adversaries
of the profession from all of which
struggles he emerged with honor and
from most of which he emerged With
victory; 18 years of determination to
win the esteem of his contemporaries
by keeping abreast with the progres
sive thinkers and workers of his time.
His practice at the bar while touch
ing almoet every branch of the law
has been principally directed to com-
merclal causes. His widely known de-
votlon to the law, his skill In the con-
duct of critical cases and his marked
fledllty to the Interests of his clients
broui-lit him an enormous practice, an
idea of the extent of which may be 1
gleaned from the fact that during the
tWO years immediately preceding his
appOlntmsnt to the supreme bench he
tried more coses than any other of the
MO members of the Allegheny county
bar.. His direct examination of wit- I
nesses was always concise, clear, and '
thorough, bringing out all the pertl- '
j nent facts In an orderly manner en-
ablins the lurv to fin-nan nvprv defnll
IB croes-exanilnatlon he excelled, and
I during the latter years of his practice
! he was regarded by the bar as one of
I the leading authorities oa medical
I Jurisprudence.
ALWAYS COPRTEOUS; ALWAYS
CLEVER.
Invariably courteous to witnesses
and opposing counsel, he succeded In
j developing his own case and weaken-
lng the force of adverso testimony,
while retaining tho good will of even
his opponent. While Invective formed
no part of his nature, ho could still
be sufficiently severe with a dishonest
or untruthful witness to break the
force of his testimony before the court
and Jury. His questions, though they
came like thunderbolts, were so evi
dently fair that they aroused no pre
judice against him.
Uniformly considerate of his brother
lawyers, he retained their good will
oven after the hardest fought legal
battle. While not afraid to antagonize
the positicn of the court If need be,
his denu. i r towards the bench waa
always m"-: profoundly respectful and
his arguments were always listened to
with the most careful attention.
One of the most effective testimo
nials to his high standing at tho bar
is to be found in the fact that In pre
senting petitions and documents for
tho signature of the judges, Mr. Pot
ter's brief verbal statement of their
contents seemed always siifllrlent to
secure tbe proper action without fur
ther scrutiny by the court lis tc what
the papers containe d. This confidence
in him on tho part of the court, as In
all other eases, was gained only by
years of the strictest adherence to
truth in all his dealings with the bench
and bar.
His oarly association with banking
developed a taste for economics, and
he has been for many years a careful
student of finance and kindred sub
jects and has acquired a reputation in
that field. His intimate knowledge of
corporation and fiscal matters give
hlra a leadership in a community in
which lie organized and developed to
successful operation a number of finan
cial Institutions. Trust companies, na-
tienal banks, state banks, insurance
companies and corporations of a gen-
at the erase of a long practice at tho
lished, and by his ability piloted to
' prosperity. In many of these he was
a director, and for all of them he was
counsel.
A HARD AND DEVOTED STUDENT.
He is a hard student In the very
broadest sense, having acquired a fine
library covering the very widest range '
01 scientinc Btuay; no ib, moreover, a
devoted student of current history and
keeps thoroughly informed of all the
passing problems of any moment.
As the best key to a man's real char
acter ls always the reputation he en
Joys among those with whom he comes
in dally contact, it would gratify any
citizen of the commonwealth Interest
ed in the supreme bench to hear the
unvaried expressions of members of
the legal profession and others 'who
are familiar with the character and
ability of Mr. Justice Potter. His
whole life has been characterized by
Industry and Integrity of the highest
order. His standing and success as a
citizen, a business man and a law
yer form the basis of thai firm con
fidence which the community at large
has in his future, as one of those Into
whoso keeping has fallen the most
sacred trust of tbe commonwealths
Viewed from she standpoint of the
lawyer, ln that cold, unsympathetic
light under which the legal profes
sion BcruUiiizfcs the judge, he is a
reliable and substantial figure. In
brief, lie ls a man who
abounds ln thone sturdy
nature ,

and look askance upon ehanj c: 1 so
phistry. He brought, to Ms present, position
a broad general equipment ar. 1 r. doop

a most valuable acquisition to the
bench
FIRM AND COURAGEOUS.
While possessing a demeanor that Is
' rtmpie and unaffected and a modesty
that Is native, his bearing is such
as always to bespeak that dignity
i which la so becoming the exalted posi
; tlon to which he has attained.
Justice Potter, while firm and coura
geous In his convictions, is of a kindly,
chivalrous disposition, and with a
charming magnetism of person that
makes lasting friendships, and it was
these characteristics that enabled him,

employ the utmost limit of Inslstance
with his brother attorneys and the

aside the weapons of forensic strife,
and take with him the respect and
hearty good will of his late opponents
at the bar.
Justice Potter Is a stauneh Repub

always took an active interest, believ
ing that the good citizen should enlarge

Wanamakerizfid Newspapers Ro
sponsible For His Bolting
His Party,
HE IS
STILL VERY AMBITIOUS
Story of How the Democrats of the
Quaker City Refused to Be Driven to
the Nomination of An Insurgent Re
publicanNamed a Straight Ticket.
(Speetnl Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Sept. 24. Former Gov
ernor Pattison's complete surrender
to the Wanamakerized newspapers of
Philadelphia was the political sensa
tlon of the last week.
When Pattlson started out to reor-1
ganlze the Democracy of Philadelphia'
he made no secret of his plans to get i
the Democratic party in fighting trim
bo as to bring about the nomination of j
a Btraight Democratic ticket, and he'
planned to have the insurgent Repub
U. ,,- t ,j t
u auu s,-.c,t iUe ueinocra.s tnat they cou,d ot eheck the deman,,
In order to get revenge upon the regu- for ft straight Democratic ticket, and
lar Republicans. Tattlson preached the j tho outcome was the selection of for
doctrine of straight Democracy, and It mer Postmaster William Wllklns Carr
was generally believed that he waa 1 for district attorney by a vote of lit
aiming to strengthen his party so that i for Carr t0 1 for Rothermel. Mr. Carr
he could be In line for the Democratic ls one of tne be8t lnowl an,i most r"'
nomination for governor next year. He 1 Bpectod Democrats ln Philadelphia. A
went to the Democratic state conven
tion and resisted all the efforts of the
Wanamaker-Oordon-McCliire sympathi
zers to interfere with the leadership of
Messrs. Donnelly and Ryan, whose
freindS were and still are in absolute
control of the Democratic organization
of Philadelphia.
Pattlson took the floor In the state
convention and opposed the scheme to
oust the Philadelphia delegates. He
went back to tho Quaker City and
made a tour of the wards lasting for
several weeks. All went swimmingly
until the Wanamaker-aordon McClure
Bomlilnation started to pull the wires
on PnttiBon. They had their heuch
men lead him up Into the mountains
ami tell him of the possibilities of the
future. They pointed out that the
newspapers carrying the Wanamaker
advertisements were all ln favor of
Wanamnker's private counsel, P. P.
Rothermel, for district attorney of
Philadelphia, and that they would op
pose any politicians or political inter
ests that were Inimical to Rothennel'a
candidacy.
THE NEWSPAPER COMBINE.
Despite his previous advocacy of a
straight Democratic ticket, Pattlson,
looking to his own Interests and seek-
1 ing the support of the Wanimakerized
newspapers in his candidacy for gover-
nor, began to weaken In his ardor for
I a Democratic nomination for district
1
attorney. Later on he was summoned
to an editorial council at the Conti
nental Hotel, ln Philadelphia, where
he met a number of editors employed
on newspapers carrying the Wana
maker advertisements, which mean a
matter of about half a million annually
to the business offices of the several
newspapera. All of these editors were
gotten to talk up fusion to Pattison
and to lead him to bellevo that any
party leader who would oppose fusion
and the indorsement by the Demo
cratic convention of Rothermel for dis
trict attorney would be denounced In
all these newspapers, and that the
popular sen'iment wiilch would thua
be created would da-in the political
ambitions of any man who antagon
ized It.
Pattison was sonn a captive In the
Wanwstker-Qordon-McCIure camp.
He began irftlmnting the desirability
of the Democr.-itlc party putting Roth-
ermel on their ticket. Colonel Guffey,

I the Democratic organization of the
I state conclude to unhorse him.
Guffey and Pattlson got their heads
together and were soon In consultation
1 with the Wanamaker agents in Phila
delphia. They Issued an edict that the
Philadelphia Democratic county con-
I ventlon must place Rothermel on the
Democratic ticket, and that no terms
! or conditions must be exacted from the
Insurgent Republicans
THE DEMOCRATS ASSERT THEM
SELVES. The Democratic voters went to the
primary elections and elected their
delegates. There was an overwhelm
ing sentiment In favor of the nomina
tion of a straight Democratic ticket.

That very night Pattlson resigned
the chairmanship of the Democratic
city committee, and the following day
he announced that there would be an
Independent Democratic convention
called to name a ticket led by Rother
mel, and to have put upon it the names
of such Democrats and Republicans as
would be agreed upon by tho inde
pendent Republicans and Pattison's
personal followers.
PATTISON MADE A BLUNDER
Pattison's course has been roundly
denounced by active Democrats In
every ward In the city. It Is eonccdel
that he has ended his political career
aa far as the Democrats of Philadel
phia are concerned. He has placed
himself ln the hands of former Judge
Gordon, who so bitterly fought Patti
son's election to the mayoralty after
ho had received the nomination for
that office from the Democratic con
vention. Pattison's statement that he
will start out to form a complete
Democratic organization ls ridiculed,
as he could get few Democrats outside
of the pronounced Gordon men to take
part In any such organization. Guffey's
alleged intention to support Pattison
in this move ls not taken seriously, as
such a play on Guffey's part would load
to revolution throughout Pennsylvania
against his state leadership. It is
known that Guffey has but a sUkM
hold r.pon the Democratic organization
In his home county of Allegheny, which
ls, at best, but a shell, and he may soon
find that he will be kept busy at homo
looking after his own fences and will
have little time to work up a Demo
cratic annex to the Wanamaker Insur
gent machine in the Quaker City or
elsewhere.
