Weller. Frank P. Saylor. U. M. Housel. Ira G. Lambert. Charles Williams. Daniel E. Keller. Norman D. Shaffer. Chas. H. Weimer. Elwood Swank. The above named men are all candidates and ask the Re- publican voters of Somerset county to vote for them at the Re- publican primary election to be held on Saturday, June 7, 1902. But these men are simply running on their “gall.” There is not one good reason why any true Republican should vote for a single one of them, while there are all kinds of reasons why every mother’s son of them should be defeated by an overwhel- ming majority. Not one of them is a straight Republican, every one of them having voted the whole Democratic county ticket, last fall. Un- der the rules and regulations governing the Republican’ primary elections in Somerset county, not one of these men has a right to vote at our primaries, much less to announce for office at a Re- publican primary. : The Republican county chairman was not bound to announce them, as they well know, but he did so anyhow, just to let the Republican voters of the county have a “whack” at them. They all belong to the Scull ring, the very follows who made our party rules when they were yet in power ; but here they are, the first to break them, the first to go over to the Democrats at a general election. : : Yet they have the “gall” to ask loyal Republicans to vote for them at the coming primary ; and if nominated, they will ask Republicans to be loyal and support them at the general election, the very thing they refused to do themselves, last fall, for the regularly nominated candidates. Oh, haven’t they got gall? Are party traitors to be rewarded? Are party wreckers, bolters and soreheads to be given Republican support, the very thing these boltors refused to give to loyal Republicans at the last general election? Fellow citizens, we think not, as that would be establishing a policy very ruinous to the grand old party, the party of Lin- The above named gentle- men should go to the Democrats for votes, the people théy heifer- ed around with last fall. John C. Weller, Frank P. Saylor, Jacob S. Koontz, Samuel M. Saylor and Edward Hoover have all held public office in their time, and they were all elected by the Republican party. Many Republicans think they have had enough of a good thing, and especially so since they and all the rest in the list have shown their unworthiness and their disregard for party principle and party loyalty by bolting the Republican ticket last fall. When they were yet in good standing in the party, the party was loyal to them ; but since they tried to rend the party asunder, the duty of every true blue Republican is very plain. Every true Republican will vote for the opponents of these men, for their oppanents are all men of honor and ability, as well as loyal and true Republicans. : No quarter and no office for bolters should be the watch- words of all true Republicans, Saturday, June 7th. That is the only safe policy, if our grand old party is to remain in power and the country to keep up its present prosperity. Jacob S. Koontz. Samuel M. Saylor. Robert E. Lohr. 1C. A. Rhoads.

During the past few weeks there was much speculation as to who would be candidates for Congress at the coming Republican primary, During the past week it has developed that the candi- dates for that office are Harvey M. Berkley and J. A. Berkey. The name of the former appears in bold type on this page, among a lot of men of his own kind, while the name of the latter appears on another page with a lot of solid and loyal Republicans like him- self. For years Mr. J. A. Berkey has given his time, his influence and his active support to the Republican party, and last fall he was especially vigilant, loy- al and active, when Harvey M. Berkley and others of his class were traveling over the county and urging Republi: cans to support the Democratic ticket. Therefore, the contest for Congress is between a loyal and true Republican and a man who under the rules of our party really has no right to participate in its primaries. All true Republicans should rally around the Republican standard and give J. A. Berkey their loyal and utmost support. It is the duty of every sincere Re- publican who espoused the cause of Linzoln, supported Grant, Garfield, Hayes, Blaine and McKinley to rebuke party treachery ;to rebuke party wreck- ers; to rebuke party bolters; to re- buke the men who bolted at the gener- al election, last fall. During the entire campaign, last fall, J. A. Berkey was out working for Republican success, while Harvey M. Berkly traveled over the county with a knife in his hand, seeking to dismem- ber the grand old party. Harvey now asks you to give him the highest office on the ticket. Will you reward him with such a gift after his attempt to overthrow the Republican party? Will you give your vote to him, or will you give it to J. A. Berkey, who hag always been regular and loyal to the grand old party? Rebuke every party wrecker who asks for your support. Can the party live and reward men with office who bolt whenever they have an imaginary grievance? No, verily no! It was a gloFlods victory last fail, That victory makes the Republican nominations in the future safe. provid- ed that you now remind the unfaithful that no man shall enjoy the emolu- ments and benefits of the party until he has again come back and put him- self in good standing. J. A. Berkey is a true blue Republican; Harvey M. Berkley is a Democratic ally. J. A. Berkey was born and reared on a farm in Somerset township. He per- formed all kinds of hard manus] labor in his time, as his parents were com- paratively poor. He was a reat stu- dent, however, and began to teach school in 1878. following that profession until 1887, but during that time also spent several years at school. He graduated at the Southwestern State Normal School in 1884. When princi- pal of the Somerset borough schools, he turned out the first graduating class that ever graduated from an public school in Somerset county. He was elected District Attorney in 1892 and filled that office with great credit to himself and to the county. He was elected Chairman of the Republican County Committee in 1899, and was a member of the Republican State Cen- tral Committee in 1898. Kor the last two years he has been a member of the Executive Board of the Republican County Committee. He is a trustee of the Southwestern State Normal School, having been twice appointed by Dr. Schaeffer, the State Superintendent, who recognizes in him a man of mark- ed ability and honor. In addition to all this, J. A. Berkey has for the last ten years been one of the foremost lawyers of the Somerset Bar. He is a good public speaker, and above all, he is every inch a Republi- can and a gentleman. He has voted the full Republican ticket ever since he is a voter. A vote cast for J. A. Berkey will be a vote cast for a most honorable, able and trustworthy Republican. It would be nothing more than a just reward to give him the nomination he seeks, and it would be nothing more than a just punishment to Harvey M. Berkley to be defeated. If bolters are to be sup- ported, than a nomination in the future will not be secure. ——— What Thin Folks Need is a greater power of digesting and as- similating food.

And furth- ermore, you are the rumorist, as well as somewhat of a humorist, for you are real funny. You insinuate that about twenty directors were approached with money. Why, bless your soul, more than that number were approached with Saylor money alone. The fact that not enough votes could be bought to elect Saylor is all that grinds you. All you are doing now is trying to ereate campaign thundé€r out of noth- ing; but it won’t work, and after the primary nothing more will be heard about the investigation you speak of. “Timmie” is like his royal ancestor, the devil. “When the devil was sick, the devil a saint would be; but when the devil was well, the devil a saint was he.” Has Changed Position. “No man who did not vote the Re- publican ticket at the last geueral election ean legally vote at the pri- mary. No man who will not cheerful- ly pledge himself to support the entire Republican ticket at the fall election should be allowed to be a candidate at the primary.”—Somerset Herald, May 9. The above was the position of the editor of the Herald a few years ago. Where would he and some of his can- didates be, in view of their bolt last fall, if the Chairman should place such an interpretation upon the rules? When the Herald made the above statement, the Scull machine was then in the sad- dle, with Harvey M. Berkley as county chairman. Mr. Berkley conducted things with a high hand. He even de- nied the Republican voters of Somer- set county the right to hold a primary in 1897. He called a primary and then called it off again, the latter act being entirely contrary to the rules and reg- ulations governing the Republican pri- maries in Somerset county. Hesimply slated a set of “Timmie’”? Scull’s favor- ite henchmen and had them printed on the official b.llot. He refused ta ac- cept the announgoment fees of other candidates who applied to him In prop: er form and time, tendering him the announcement fees which the rules provide for. By trickery and political rascality he forced Scull’s candidates on the people, but in spite of his high- handed proceedings, the anti-Scull faction did not bolt. A few voters here and there did not vote the Republican ticket in the fall, because they had no voice in making the ticket, the right to Lold a primary having been denied to them. But the next spring the Herald boldly asserted that none who refused to support Mr. Scull’s slate the year before, should be allowed to vote with- out first making affidavit that the; would support all the Republican nom- inees in the fall. And the oath was administered. too, in some cases, and some were even required to swear that they voted for Mr. Scull’s slated can- didates the year before, although his candidates had not been nominated by the Republican voters of the county. But mark how inconsistent the Herald is now. Note how inconsistently it changes its position as set forth in its editorial of May 9th, 1898, which is re- produced in the outstart of this article. Last fall practically the whole Scull faction bolted the nomination of Judge Kooser, although that gentleman vas nominated by a majority of over 1,000 votes at a primary that all Republican voters participated in. Now, in spite of their outrageous and uncalled for bolt, the Herald and all its followers think they should have a right to par- ticipate in the coming primaries with- out being asked a question or any promises being exacted from them. They even have the gall to trot ou: bolters and party wreckers for office and expect loyal Republicans to vote for them. So far as this paper and its editor are concerned, we do not care whether they run for office and participate in the primary or not. We have confi- dence enough in Somerset county Re- publicanism to believe that every bolter will be defeated, as he should be. But we repeat it, Where would the Herald and its fellow bolters be if the rules were enforced?
