| Seull Ring Hires a Copperhead
| Democrat to Traduce Loyal and
Honest Republicans.
| Straws show which way the wind
| blows, and it is plain to an observing
| man that the Scull ring realizes that
| its slated bolters are doomed to igno-
minious defeat at the coming primary.
| The leaders see the hand writing on
| the wall, and last week they became
| so desperate that they hired W. B.
Akin, editor of the Windber Era, to get
out a special edition of his dirty sheet to
traduce J. A. Berkey and other straight
Republicans, and at the same time
laud and praise Harvey M. Berkley,
the bolter and party-wrecker.
W. B. Akin is a Copperhead Demo-
crat of the most virulent type, and he
came to Windber from Indiana only a
few months ago. He does not know a
| thing concerning the personality of any
| of the candidates, and he knows very
little of anything else. except doing
dirty work and publishing political rot
for the defunt gang of Scull bolters and
party wreckers. But for that kind of
| work Mr, Akin seems te he achin’ all
over. Then, too, the Scull bolicrs see
ing that sure defeat is staring them in
the face, they are achin’ to vent their
spleens; and as no Republican paper
in the county can be hired to print
their rot, they go to Windber and hire
a Copperhead Democrat from the
Hoosier state. Their course is enough
to draw myrthful tears from a grind-
stone, but it illustrates the old saying
that birds of a feather flock together.
But let the Indiana jackass bray, for
he is getting a good price for it, and he
even does not need to do much of the
writing. Harvey M. Berkley, Timmic
Scull and a few other scavengers at- |!
tend to that. All Akin needs to do is
to daddy the bastard brand of politics
and draw the pay. Harvey and Tim-
mie can easily pay the freight, and, af-
ter all, that’s all the Indiana Copper-
head is after.
Besides, the Era is not Windber’s
representative and official paper, any-
way. That honor belongs to the Wind-
ber Journal, and the Journal is warmly
in favor of J. A. Berkey for Congress.
The dirty policy of the Era has render-
ed it so unpopular that comparatively
few people care to patronize it. It was
at first published at the rate of $1.00 per
year, but as very few people would pay
that price for such a dirty rag, its edi-
tor has for some time been advertising
the fact that if he can’t get a dollar
for a year’s subscription he will send it
a year for 50 cents. ,
Ye gods, what a spectacle! The
Scull ring is evidently in sore distress
when it has to subsidize a50-cent paper
published by a 10-cent Copperhead
Democrat.
Soon the battle will be over,
And the fog envelop Cover,
And poor Berkley feeling sick, I ween,
And poor Akin, he’ll be shakin’,
And his bones will be a-bakin’
When he’s sizzling in the soup tureen.

Was Wasting Away.
The following letter from Robert R.
Watts, of Salem, Mo., is instructive. “I
{have been troubled with kidney dis-
{ ease for the last five years. I lost flesh
| and never felt well and doctored with
| leading physicians and tried all reme-
| dies suggested without relief. Finally
I tried Foley’s Kidney Cure and less
than two bottles completely cured me
and I am now sound and well.” KE. H.

By the way, isn’t the silence of
“Timmie” and “Lucifer” really monot-
onous on the School Superintendency?
What has become of that threatened
investigation of the charges of bribing
directors? Didn’t the Meyersdale Re-
publican shut them up guick, theogh?
When the Republican offered to pro-
duce the names of a goodly number of di-
rectors who would make oath that they
were offered money to vote for Saylor,
then the canting hypocrites did not want
an investigation. They knew that an
investigation would hurt Saylor instead
of Seibert, and Saylor wasn’t the man
BERKEY AND BERKLEY.
Size-up of the Two
Men.
The Republican primary campaign of
this county for the year 1902, will go
down into history as a very notable af-
fair. One of the peculiar things about
the campaign is the fact that two
young men are striving for the Con-
gressional nomination whose names
are almost identically the same. In
one name there is an “1” and in the
other there is not. This seems to be a
small thing, but it makes an “1” of a
difference to the voters, and the differ-
ence seems to be in favor of the man
who hasn’t got the “1” in his name.
We believe the political record of the
two men is sufficiently well known to
need but little mention here, J. A.
Berkey being well known as an active,
earnest and loyal Republican, while
Harvey M. Berkley is equally well
known as a bolter, party-wrecker and
a mere tool in the hands of Geo. R.
Scull, the dethroned boss and Demo-
cratic ally.
But let us look at the personality of
the two men. J. A. Berkey was born
of poor parentage, in a little log house
on a rugged little farm. His father
An Impartial
| labored hard at farming, carpentering
and sawmilling by turns, and at the
latter occupation was unfortunate
enough to lose a leg. The son was
therefore reared amid hardships, and
he learned early in life to rely on him-
self and depend on his own resources.
By perseverance, pluck and ambition
to be admired by all men, he not only
managed to get a fine education, but
by his own exertions has made himself
one of the foremost citizens and law-
yers of the county, at the age of about
42 years. He is now a man of consid-
erable means, although not wealthy,
for he has ever been a most liberal,
whole-souled and open-handed person,
always ready. to help the poor and
needy. His acts of charity and benevo-
lence are many, and he is every inch a
man to be admired, respected and hon-
ored.
His opponent, Harvey M. Berkley,
was also born on a farm, but the estate
of his parents was one of the largest
and most valuable in all Somerset
county. His parents were wealthy,
and, according to the old saying, Har-
vey was born with a golden spoon in his
mouth. He never knew a hardship,
and the education he obtained was
paid for with inherited money, of
which Harvey never earned a dollar,
Like his opponent, Mr. Berkley also
read law and was admitted to the bar.
But the profession never suited him.
He lacked the dash, the eloquence and
the hustle found in his competitor, but
like Shylock of old, he always liked to
handle the coin of the realm. This
being the case, he practically abandon-
ed the legal profession and became a
heavy stockholder in the Xir3{ Nation:
al Bank of Somerset; cf which he iz the
cashier, He is a mah cf rather pleas-
| ant address, but wofully lacking in
scciubility, except to his most intimate
and wealthy friends. Being a usurer,
a money lender and a dollar squeezer,
he naturally possesses no generosity
and very liitle of the charitable and
the benevolent. Like Shylock he is a
“stickler” for his pound of flesh, and it
matters little to him whether it is
wrung from the widow.the orphan or
the invalid. He is the owner of lots of
wealth, but, politically he is owned and
controlled by George R. Scull, in whose
hands he is a mere tool.
This is a conservative aud imp .riial
size-up of he {0 men. While there
is an “1” of a difference in their names,
there should also be an “1” of a differ-
ence in the number of votes cast for
them, and the diffrence should. and we
believe will be, a large majority for
John Albert Berkey.

Wants to ‘“‘Larn ’em How fer to
Vote.”
The Copperhead editor of the Wind-
ber Era, who is but a tenderfoot in that
town and landed there from Indiana
but a few months ago, is a very smart
man in his own estimation. But he evi-
dently thinks the Republicans of Wind-
ber are a very ignorant and benighted
class of people. Last week he got off
the following in his 50-cent paper:
“At the Republican primary election
to be held on June 7th the voters will
be called upon to express a preference
for a Congressional candidate and in
order to assist the voters of Windber
and vicinity to make a proper selection
the Era avails itself of the opportunity
to say a few words in behalf of Ilarvey
M. Berkley. Esq.”
The verdant Hoosier is exercising
quite a lot of gall, and he’s going to
“larn ’em how fer to vote” in true “In-
dianny” style. That is, he thinks hes;
but most people think the Windber Re-
publicans need no instructions from a
green and conceited Democrat from
the Hoosier state, who wants a Demo-
cratic ally elected to Congress. Demo-
crats and Democratic allies are more
popular in old “Indianny” than they
are in Pennsylvania. Get yourself a
little discretion, Mr. Akin, and “git a
plenty while you're a gittin, says 1.”

THE GENERAL NOT SORE.
General Koontz Interviewed—In-
terview Shows That Some
People are Liars.
The Democratic Windber Era was
subsidized last week and filled full to
overflowing with campaign rot by
Harvey M. Berkley, Geo. R. Scull and
others. The matter was prepared in
Somerset, printed in Windber, sent
back to Somerset and mailed out from
Scull headquarters. Among other lies
that wre printed in the Era, last week,
at 25 cents a line, was the following:
“General Koontz, the Insurgent lead-
er of the county, has openly avowed his
preference for Pennypacker for Gover-
nor. He says that Berkey has named
a ticket, now let him nominate it.”
Tue STAR at once wrote to General
Koontz, asking him whether he ever
made any such statement. The Gen-
eral promptly replied as follows:
“In reply to your letter of the 30th
inst., I would say that I have this
morning given an interview to the
Standard covering several matters be-
sides those inquired of by you. He
will send you proof of it in time for
publication in your paper.”
Following we give Editor Lambert’s
interview in full, together with his
comments, and it will show you how
hard Harvey M. Berkley and his fellow
bolters are pressed for votes when they
misrepresent men like General Koontz
to gain sympathy and votes from his
friends. The General and his friends
are for J. A. Berkey.
ing interview.
A form of campaigning that is usual-
ly employed in the last days of a ean-
vass preceding a Republican primary
election in this ¢ounty is the cireula-
tion of false reports intended to appeal
to the sympathies of certain classes of
voters, and we now find the Bolter
press of the county boldly circulating
a report that certain former political
friends of General W. H. Koontz have
treated him badly, and that he is re-
senting the treatment. This is for the
purpose of inducing friends of General
Koontz throughout the county to take
up such resentment at the primary next
Saturday by voting against candidates
who have ever been and are now his
true friends.
In order that the voters might be
given the truth in this matter, a repre-
sentative of the Standard called upon
General Koontz on Monday, and the
following interview is the result of that
call. We found the General preparing
to take a train to spend a few days at
Atlantic City, and had to ga at onge to
the purpose of our call,
We asked: “General, the Bolter
press of the county has asserted that
you decided to stand as a candidate
for re-elegtion at the eaming primary,
and that J, A. Berkey juformed you
Read the follow-
that there waz nc #oom for youl on the
i ticket, and pushed you aside. Is thers
any {ruth in that assertion?”
“There is absolu'¢ly no truth in the
! statement,” said (Lc General emphatie-
ally. “I was very carnestly solicited
to be a candidate for Congress, and am
informed that Mr. Berkey expressed a
| willingness to give that field to me. I
| was also solicited by o laige number of
people to be a candidate for the Legis-
laLczc, vat it was my own voluntary
action in deciding not to be a candidate
for either office.”
“General, it has further been stated
by the Bolter press that you have open-
ly avowed for Pennypacker for Gov-
ernce.” :
“In .aswer to that I would say that
I have never openly, nor privately to
my most intimate friends sv expressed
myself.”
“According to one of thie Bolter pa-
pers, General, you said, ‘Berkey has
named a ticket, now let him noninate
it.” How is that?”
“I never made any such expression.
I have never known that Mr. Berkey
named a ticket.” =~
