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. /

. 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!”

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,
