A
WHICH IS THE G. 0. P.?
. Invited ‘Back to the Party, Wonders
Where to go.
From Sunday's North American.
Almost daily we see something in
‘the papers about getting the Pro-
. gressives back into the Republican | time now. It brngs more pleasure to
party. Where shall we go? we can
well ask what is the Republican party
in this state, is it Governor Brum-
baugh or is it Senator Penrose? it
would seem that it is one or the other.
To my mind there is no good rea-
son why the Progressives should ally
themselves with either of the factions
of the Republicans; many have done
so I admit and now find themselves
lined up with one or the other of the
factional leaders who is first of all,
striving for personal interest or pol-
itical advantage.
At the same time they say concil-
jate, compromise, harmonize with the
Progressives in order to beat the
Democrate. Some of the country Re-
publican papers say to those who
. came back: as you are a renegade, a
bolter and a seceder. you can vote
only for such delegates and candidates
as we designate.
Well, well, only think, conciliate
the Progressives when they them-
selves are quarreling at daggers’
points. No self-respecting man or
would go into a neighbor’s house, in-
vited or unvited, when the family jar
was on and the furniture flying in all
directions. What a love feast the Pro-
gressives are invited to.
If either of the factions of the Re-
publicas in this state believe in, as
they profess to believe in, the princi-
ples of the Progressive party, as en-
unciated in 1912, let them come out
from among the wicked, and let the
progressive who mistakenly went
into the Republican party come back,
.into a decent party. :
If the honor of this nation is to be
restored among the nations of the
earth and the citizenship of the Unit-
ed States is to be protector on land
and sea the policies of Theodore
Rossevelt must be carried out, and
there is no one so well qualified as
he to carry them out.
This ‘is apparent to the colonel’s
severest critic as well as to his warm-
~ept friend. 1 am for “Teddy.”

primary to the high school is shown

DECIDES TO BE A CANDIDATE.
W. Curtis Truxal, Esq., of Somerset
was a caller in Meyersdale yesterday
attending to business matters. Mr.
hos finally decided that he will be
a candidate for the General Assem-
bly at Harrisburg on the Republican
ticket. He was holding the matter off
for some weeks because of pressing
' business affairs and further because
he is an officer of the National Guard
| being First Lieutenant, Co. C. 10th.
| Pa. Inf. and he was rather expect-
ing that his regiment might be call-
ed into service.
Mr. Truxal is a young man who is
| wide-a-wake to the interests of the
! community in which he lives and for
| for the county as a whole. He is ag-
| gressive and would make a strong de-
| fender in a deliberative body and
| Somerset County needs men to rep-
! resent them who can say more than
| “yea” or “nay” upon question of pub-
'1jc interest when brought upon for
consideration in the legislature.

The shadow of exaggeration is
cast on an ad when
the appellation ‘‘Per-
fection’’ is applied to
the product; at least
that is our version of it.
So when we tell you
of HIGH ART
CLOTHES, we will
say what is our sincere
conviction — that they
are as near perfect as
modern manufactur-
ing methods, alert
designing and fair-play
business policy can
make them.
Young men will find a
host of good-looking models
to select from and their
seniors will be sure to find their
suit made in a model in con-
formity with their dignity and
correct in every detail. Their
price is moderate when their
value is considered.
