A vote for Berk- ley is a vote for a traitor to the Demo- cratic party and a carpet-bagger in the lepublican ranks for revenue only. Tie state machine Z supportod by the Scull ring cut the school appropriation $100,000,000. This will necessitate heav- ier taxation upon the people, and the people will soon begin to feel it severe- iy. Think of these things when about to vote at the Republican primary on April 21st. = ——— i Tar Scull ring campaign liar is abroad, circulating the old stereotyped lie that Koontz and Kendall voted for the seven-months school bill. They both opposed the bill in the House by their votes, and in another column will be found the speech made by Mr. dall against the bill. = i i H. Kooxrz chr nail the brib- crs out of the lobbies at larrisburg, last winter, and that is one reason why 1-e should be re-elected. W. H. Koontz is one of nature’s noblemen—broad- minded, brainy, honest, fearless and true to the interests and welfare of the peopie. lle truly man, and he is the best and most cred- Ken- Hox. W. common is a great itable representative Someiset county ever had in the Legislature. —-— W. H. Saxxer, one of the Scull ring candidates for Assembly, voted for the bill that was passed in 1897 in the in- terest of the Whisky trust, thereby aid- ing in closing the little country distil leries in the interest of the big city gin mills. He also voted for the bill to pay $35,000 wasted on Grace church. No honest man in Somerset county owes his vote to W. lI. Sanner. The last time he bobbed up for office he was overwhelmingly defeated jand the peo- ple of Somerset county should repeat the dose on April 21st. = eo Fren Rowe, one of the Scull candidates for Assembly, England about 40 years now in the coal business with Ehlen Bros., and he is the operator of the big company store in Meyersdale known as the Meyersdale Supply Company. Of course all miners who like to be com- pelled to deal at company stores will vote for Mr. Rowe, but those who like to deal where they please after they have twice earned their money, will be more apt to vote for Koontz and Ken- dall, who are plain American born citi- zens and are not in the company store business. ring was born in He is ago. Tire Somerset Democrat in speaking of United States Senators, last week said: “Senator Teller is still vigorous with his 20th birthday rapidly ap- proaching.” It will no doubt be news to many to learn that Senator Teller is a callow youth of less than twenty summers, and they will no doubt won- der hoy one so young ever got into the | United States Senate.

When Giteau shot Gar- | field he boasted of his republicanism, saying: “I am a stalwart of the stal- | warts.” The old Scull paper, the Som- | erset Herald, liked the term so wells | because it was invented by a murderer | who shot a President that refused to | be controlled by Bosses Platt, that the silly old thing applied | the name to that class of Republicans | in Somerset county who delight to wear the Seull ring collar. ~~ Geo. R. ScuLL, or “Timmie” as he is commonly ¢ alled, is working the Census | Snumerator gold brick business for all | | it is worth. Many appointments have | been promised, and there are many She will soon realize how cleverly they have been gold bricked.

Therefore, it will be plain that all the enumerators have been appointed. The successful appli- cants have been notified of their ap- pointment, but the matter will be kept dark until after the primhry elections. You see, “Timmie” wants to have as many dupes doing political work for him as possible, promising all of them political plums; but all the fellows who are after census jobs and have not yet received notice of their appointment, can rest assured that they have been buncoed, and that the plums have fall- en into the laps of others. ~~ Tire song birds are peginning to re- turn from the south. which is evidence that Spring, with her ethereal mildness, is at hand. The feathered songsters make glad the heart of man, and they fill the earth with cheer. Nevertheless some hard-hearted wretches find sport in killing the innocent and useful song birds, and every one so offending should be punished as the law provides for. livery man or boy who kills an innocent song bird, commits a far greatcr crime than killing a game bird out of season, for the song birds are of much more value to mankind than the game birds. Were it not for the fact that the song birds destroy billions of harmful in- sects annually, crops would be a failure and human life would soon become ex- tinct. Therefore, spare the birds, and prosecute all the bird murderers you can get suflicient evidence against to convict. And furthermore, let us have a law against the murder of birds to supply the milliners’ art—a law that will not only punish the bird murder- ers, but one that will make it a misde- meanor, punishable by a heavy fine, for any woman to wear a stuffed bird or bird’s wing on her hat. | | | must : mi “Tiare” and his old pol-parrot who presides over the Meyersdale Scull or- ganette will keep very quiet this week about the fact that the anti-Quay forces gained ten assembly voces as a result of last Saturday’s Bepuiilior in primary in Aliegheny county. “Timmie” and his old pol-parrot are very fond of pro- claiming Quay victories in order to bolster up their losing cause, but peo- ple who read the daily newspapers of the state are not deceived by their lying | political claptrap.

Inthe last fourteen of the twenty members from Allegheny participated in the Quay machine caucus, and until the concluding days of the long dead- lock voted for Quay for Renator. is a clear gain of ten votes for the anti- Quayites in the single county of Alle- gheny.
