It may be, Mr. Farmer, that you will need some new

purchase in that line.

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.

The Candidates for Congressional
Honors.
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.

“TimyIe” Scuin .doesn’t say it’s a
fact, but in this week’s Herald he says
“rumor has it that parties backing the
proposed investigation of the recent
election of a County Superintendent
have employed Coffroth & Ruppel as
counsel.” Yes, “Timmie,” rumor is a
good word to use in this case, and
rumor is all there is tooit. 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?
Wants Others to Know.
“I have used DeWitt’s Little Early
Risers for constipation and torpid liver.
and they are all right. I am glad to
indorse them, for I think when we find
a good thing we ought to let others
know it,” writes Alfred Heinze, Quincy.
