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. Ir you want to vote for a man for congress who is a Republican when it suits, and a Democrat when things do not go his way, then vote for Harvey M. Berkley. But if you want to vote for a man who under all circumstances is a straight Republican, vote for J. A. Berkey.—Meyersdale Republican. Our old friend “Timmie” Scull this week devotes about one-half of his pa- per to J. A. Berkey. “Timmie” sees a hand writing the doom of his slated bolters on the wall, and now he is be- coming desperate. The Herald’s entire tirade against Mr. Berkey could be ap- propriately labeled with a word con- taining only four letters. The word “rot” does not quite fit “Timmie’s” rub- bish, but there’s another word with only one letter more that would; but the appropriate word would not look well in print. BERKEY buttons are very popular throughout the county. In the center, where some candidates have their photographs printed, Mr. Berkey has the words “I Never Bolt.” We heard a man ask, theother day, why Mr. Berkey hasn’t got his face on his buttons as some of the ether candidates have. We guess it’s because Mr. Berkey never traveled on his face. He has a straight Republican record to travel on, while his opponent, bolter Harvey M. Berk- ley, has nothing but his face and gall to travel on. / mat met Ams mt. . Nor a word does the Somerset Herald say this week about the “proposed in- vestigation” of the election of Prof. D. W. Seibert to the County Superintend- ency of public schools. ersdale Republican has offered to pro- duce sworn testimony of school direc- tors who were offered money to vote for O. O. Saylor, the Scuil candidate, the Herald has evidently come to the conclusion that it is time to shut up on that score and cast about for some new scheme to fool people with and create campaign sympathy. Tre SoMmerser HERALD shows this week that the Sculls are also displeas- ed with “Bennie” Morgan, candidate for delegate to the State convention. Of course they are, for the reason that Mr. Morgan is a straight Republican, one of the kind that never bolt. Mr. Morgan was the best worker the Sculls ever had in Meyersdale, but he is an honest and conscientious man, as well as a loyal Republican, and when the Sculls tarned traitors to their party, Since the Mey- | “Jimmie CoveEoYSTER,” or whatever his name is, is now sending large por- traits of his measly physiognomy all over the county, announcing that he is a candidate for the nomination of State Senator. Doesn't it jar you when such things are set up for that office? A well bred monkey would be just as fit for the office. “Jimmie” Coveoyster is the same “Jimmie” that was fake coun- ty chairman, a few years ago. He imagined that he was the real thing until Senator Quay and the State or- ganization reminded him that -the Scull gapg and their fake county com- mittee could not be recognized. Then, and not; till then did little “Jimmie Jaybird”eome off the perch and crawl into the hole where he and the rest of the Scull gang remained until last fall, when they came out and traveled all over the county, advising Republicans to vote the Democratic ticket. *“Jim- mie Coveoyster” never had much poli- tical strength to begin with, even when the party was yet united. He made three runs before he was elected Re- corder, and when he did finally succeed, it was only by the skin of his teeth. “Jimmie” is an arrogant, obstreperous little “cuss” with about a thimbleful of brains, that is, of course, a very small thimbleful. He would make a real nice “dummy” for a clothing store, but for a State Senator—oh; ye gods what a spectacle! Poor little “Jim,” of body and mild so flimsy and slim! The voters will do a plenty to him. Poor, little, squeaky-voiced “Coveoyster Jim!” — — ap Gas Reveals a Great Secret.

CHS “TOR BSSENBLY SOMETHING CONGERNING THE MAN AND HIS PLATFORM WARN FRIEND OF THE NINERS. In less than two weeks the coming Republican primary will be a thing of the past. Candidates are now all on the home stretch, making their final round-up. Just who the winners will be, remains to be seen; but we firmly believe, and all indications seem to point out that the winners will nearly or quite all be found among the list of loyal Republicans whose announce- ments appear on our 4th page. Every name in that column is the name of a loyal and steadfast Republi- can. Every man in that column stood solidly for every man on the Republi- can ticket, last fall, when every man whose name appears on the bolters’ list, on 1st page, was out trying to rend the party asunder and elect a Demo- cratic Judge. Every candidate whose name appears in the list on 4th page is not only a loyal Republican, but all of them are good and honorable citizens. We are not here to discriminate be- tween good Republicans and good all- around men, but we are here to remind you that in the entire list of candidates there is but one among them from Windber, the magic city in the north of the county. Windber is the largest town in the county, although it is only about five years old. With its teeming thousands of busy workmen; its large number of hustling business men; its many heavy tax-payers; and above all, its enormous- ly large and loyal Republican vote, it is indeed strange that the big coal town has not put in the field a larger number of candidates. But Windber is modest, having but one candidate ir, the fleld. Surely Windber Is entitled to recog- nition, and as the big coal town has but one candidate, the first it has ever had to come forward and ask the peo- ple of Somerset county for their votes, it is but just to say that the town’s one candidate is entitled to nomination. The name of Windber’s candidate is S. 8S. Crissman, who is after a nomina- tion and election to our State Assem- bly or Legislature. Mr. Crissman is a Republican of the old school, one of the kind that never bolt. He has been an active party worker ever since he is a voter, always advocating fair play and the best interests of the Republi- can party. But he has never asked for office until now. Mr. Crissman is one of the many ac- tive and progressive merchants of Windber. He is a good talker and a man of splendid business capacity. If sent to the Legislature he will be an able representative, and there is no doubt that he will do all in his power for the best interests of Somerset county. He is a warm friend of the miners and the toiling masses in general, and if elected he will do all in his power to have a public hospital established in Somerset county, where disabled min- ers and sick people of every walk in life can be taken and get the benefit of the most skillful nursing and medical and surgical treatment. Surely Mr. Crissman has a strong claim on the Republican voters of Som- erset county, as has also the town in which he resides. Mark our word, he will come out of Windber and Paint township with a majority so large as to completely overwhelm the Scull boito- cratic candidates, Weller and Rowe. We know of a certainty that he stands well with his home people and that the precincts aforesaid will be almost a unit for him, there is very little doubt. In his personality Mr. Crissman is one of these warm-hearted, open-handed men that make friends wherever they go. No matter what one may think of him as a campaigner, all who come in contact with him admit that he is very full of energy and is “a hale fellow well met.” There are people right here in this vicinity who have known him in Clearfield county, and they all say he is a royal good fellow and one who is ever true to his friends. When casting your ballot on Satur- day, June 7th, as loyal Republicans keep in mind the loyalty of Windber and her only candidate for the whole Republican ticket, last fall, when party treason and party treachery were at work trying to disrupt our grand old party. Windber is surely entitled to recognition. TO DECEIVE VOTERS. The Scull Bolters and Party Trait- ors Circulate Bogus Tickets, On Wednesday John Scott, the Som- erset pettifogger, was in Salisbury on a campaign mission. Of course “Scottie” had his elastic conscience with him, and his mission seemed to be to hand out campaign boodle and circulate bogus tickets ta debauch and deceive voters. We have been handed one of his bogus tickets, which consists of a strip of cardboard, printed on both sides. One side is headed ‘‘Staight Re- publican Ticket,” and under the de- ceptive heading follow the names of Harvey M. Berkley, James M. Cover, Fred. Rowe, John C. Weller, Chas. H. Weimer, Ira G. Lambert, Robt. W. Lohr, Daniel E. Keller, Charles Will- iams, Freeman J. Hoffman, Samuel M. Saylor, Jacob Koontz. C. A. Rhoads, Abraham Trexel, Josiah Good, Br. C. J. Hemminger, E. L. Swank, U. M. Housel, N. D. Shaffer, F. P. Saylor and Edward Hoover. The other side of the card is headed, “J. A. Berkey’s Ticket,” and under that heading is found another list of names. But the whole scheme is a very flimsy game of decept- ion. The list headed “Straight Re- publican Ticket” is made up almost entirely of Scull bolters, soreheads and party-wreckers, men who last fall voted the entire Democratic county ticket. Freeman J. Hoffman, and Charles Will- iams are about the only straight Re- publicans in “Scottie’s” list, while the ist labeled “J. A. Berkey’s Ticket” con- tains no other names than those of the very best and truest Republicans. But John R. Scott is noted for such- dirty and deceptive capers. However, Scott’s little game will avail the bolt- ers nothing, for true Republicans are on the allert and will give Mr. Scott to understand that they are capable of marking their own ballots. They need no instructions from a professional Somerset trickster. They knew the Scull slate and will smash it about properly, in spite of all the attempts made to sail it under the Republican colors. The Way Fayette County Republi- eans Look at Harvey M. Berkley’s Candidacy. From the Fayette Republican. The Meyersdale Republican is au- thority for the following: ‘Last fall Harvey M. Berkley canvassed Somer- sat county in the interest of the Demo- cratic party, urging Republicans to bolt the regular Republican nominee and vote for W. H. Ruppel for judge. Now he is canvassing the county ask- ing Republicans to honor him by nomi- nating him for Congress. If he is de- feated, as he will be, he will this fall canvass the county in the interest of the Democratic nominee for Congress.” “If our Som:rset county friends want such a Republican (?) sent to Congress, is it any wonder that Fayette county should object to their choice? Fayette county Republicans are true to the party whos¢ name Hinata over the mast: head of this paper; nnd have ne time fo. holters and soreheads ffom Somer- set county or any place. No such per- son as Editor Bishop speaks of could have his candidacy considered either by Fayette county Republicans or Fay- ette county Democrats. We will pre- sent a candidate who has always been true to his party's best interests, and when his claims are presented against a Somerset county bolier, fusionist and party wrecker, our brethren east of waurell Hill would do well to “go way back and sit down.” -— Appropriate Questions for Harvey Berkley. If Harvey M. Berkley, who is ordi- narily a man of very selfish and un- sociable disposition, calls on you and smilingly asks you to vote for him at the coming Republican primary, you should ask him a few questions about as follows: Did you vote the whole Republican ticket, last fall? Why did you vote against and work against the Republican candidate for President Judge, last fall? What excuse have you, if you claim to be a Republican, for not supporting all the Republicans nominated at the last primary, a primary which you par- ticipated in yourself? Mr. Berkley, if you should hear a man in your precinct say that he in- tends to vote at the Republican pri- mary, but would vote against you in the fall if you should be nominated for Congress, would you not try to stop his vote at the primary? Mr. Berkley, if you should be nomi- nated at the primary, would you expect true and loyal Republicans to support you at the general election? If so, then why were you not loyal to the Republican ticket, last year?, It your’ friend Judge Longenecker had defeated Judge Kooser at our last primary, and then Judge Kooser would have taken the field to defeat his suc- cessful rival at the general election. would you not have condemned such a course as dishonorable and disloyal to your party? You know you would, Mr. Berkley. and knowing that you did the very thing yourself that you would condemn in others, what just claim has a party traitor like you on any true and loyal Republican? The same kind of questions should also be put to John C. Weller, Frank P. Saylor, U. M. Housel, Ira G. Lam- bert, Daniel E. Keller, Charles H. Weimer, Jacob 8. Koontz, Samuel M. Saylor, Robert W. Lohr, C. A. Rhoads, Edward Hoover, Norman D. Shaffer and Elwood Swank. All of these men are bolters and voted and worked for the Democratic county ticket, last fall. They have no claim on true and loyal Republicans, and if you ask them the questions suggested. you will see them turn red, squirm and give all sorts of evasive answers,
