Since last Saturday’s election, cer- tain malicious persons who are sore over their defeat, have been circulating the report that the “Scullwart” ticket would have gotten a bigger vote in this borough if it hand’t been for Pete Livengood going to the election house and liquoring up the election board. Well, that’s a good one; but it hap- pens that one of the election board tried to liquor up Pete. It happened in this way: John nie Wagner, two very good Republican citizen’s, went to the polls to cast their ballots. (we believe by Dr. Whangdoodle De- lozier and “Daddy” John Ringler), and immediately there was music in the air. The committeeman was willing to issue ballots to both, but old “Daddy” John just stood there and swore by the great horn spoon and sundry and divers other things that Morton and Wag- ner had no right to vote and that the committeceman, who was his son, did not dare to let them vote. The chief objection seemed to be the fact that Morton and Wagner wanted to vote the Republican ticket instead of the bolters’ ticket. As the affair soon wax- ed very hot, others soon took a hand in the “cussing” match. Even Stewart Simpkins and Pete Livengood, both of whom were never known to swear, lost their tempers and swore for the first time in their lives. Stewart called Pete a G. D. old leatherhead, and Pete replied with something just as compli- mentary, and Delozier lauged and swore by turns. The people down in West Salisbury heard it and thought a terriftic eyclone was approaching. But in the meantime “Daddy” Ringler went after legal advice, and it wasn’t long until he returned as meek as a lamb. With a sweet smile playing all over his face, he announced that he was wrong and that Berkey Republicans could vote at the Republican primary as well as Ruppel Democrats. Then, after quiet was restored, Inspector Simpkins, like a true patriot should do after he has to yield, took a bottle of whisky from his coat pocket, and after first taking a drink himself, handed the bottle over to Pete ; not necessarily to drink. bat to show his willingness to effect a reconciliation. But Pete. fenr- ing that the election board might get drunk and cheat his old friend and chum, “Congressman” Harvey M. Berk- ley, out of some votes, took the bottle and smashed it over the guard rail, thus doing an act that ought to entitle him to the next Prohibition nomina- tion for Governor. And thus was the election board saved from the corrupt- ing influence of its own whisky, and Pete, poor fellow, was cheated out of his drink, for the breaking of the bottle was purely accidental. * Afflictions do not come singly, for lo! when a man is deprived of a drink ten- dered to him by election oflicer then the slanderer riseth up and smiteth -him yet with his venomous tongue. Alas ‘twas ever thus! an < —— Was Wasting Away. The following letter from Robert RR.

Charles Weimer isn’t much of a climber, bu: that man Coleman is a ragular old-timer. James M. Cover is a poor, homeless rover, while Endsley’s the man who's now in the clover. The Republicans of Somerset county have given a strong verdict against bolting party nominees. J. A. Berkey never was intended to be snowed under through the efforts of banks and bauk cashiers. Itis now in order for the Windber guttersnipe to publish a column of Harvey M. Berkley punctures. It is now in order for Editor Akin to wriie another batch of rot concerning “the much abused liquor dealers.” Didn’t old Pritts give Hoover the | fits. We guess that’s the proper word, but there are others that would do. Charles Weimer may be a very swift horse-shoer, but as a runner for Sheriff, he is as slow as the seven-year itch. | | | | The Indiana copperhead doubtless knows by this time that he can’t run the politics of Somerset county. Poor thing! Harvey M. Berkley couldn’t cheat us out of a primary as he did in 1897. And there’s no Barker’s Liniment” in sight, either. Poor Fred Rowe is under the snow, and to Harrisburg he’s not going to go. Not this year, Ifeddie; some other year—perhaps. Did anybody see Adam Fogle or Dr. DelLozier since the primary? It’s some- what strange that the doctor wasn’t around to laugh this time. To Harvey M, Berkley: You cannot keep a good man down; ’tis truth be- yond assail; ‘twas proven many years ago by Jonah and the whale. “The Berkey ticket is a dead one)’ said the Windber guttersnip before the primary. Well, for a corpse it proved to be an exceedingly lively one. Little Jimmie Coveoyster should have remained in his shell. The people don’t want a clam or a coveoyster for “Senatah.” Do you hear, Jimmie, dear? Jolly Joe Ilorner sits in a corner, winking his other eye. The returns he does sum, and he’s landed the, plum, and it’s “Hurrah for Poorbaugh | and I.” It may have given Chas. Weimer and | Daniel E. Keller an enormous lift when they subscribed for Mr. Akin’s Wind- | ber guttersnipe, but the returns fail to show it. Angel Ilarvey M. Berkley had a nice | pair of wings sprouted before the elec- tion, but they have been properly clip- ped. Angels of the “Timmie” Scull va- riety never soar very high. It’s a good thing that Charles Weim- er can now go back to his shop and re- | sume horse-shoeing.

There are a few Democratic ward politicians in this borough who will get The Repub-- licans used to elect them to office, but that error will not be committed again. . Abraham Lincoln Lowry rode all’ over Elk Lick township in the intsrest of the Scullwart bolters. Abe carried’ a good deal of “swag” with him and! looked exceedingly wise, but the towns- ship went against him, as usual. Even the “aleck” who presides over the Somerset Democrat sets up a howl at the downfall of Scull bolters. But Alex. admits that the loudest ery of fraud always comes from the defeated. faction, because they are defeated. The Meyersdale Commercial last: week announced that Jacob Koontz’s title for a second term in the Commis- sioners’ ollice was clear. No doubt it’ was, before the election; but since the- election he has a clear title to remain: at home. Isn’t it amusing to hear the Scull” bolters erying “boodle and fraud?” For every dollar of Republican money that came into this borough, the Scull: bolters put in three. Anyone that doesn’t know it, is either very innocent: or very ignorant. Lucifer Smith’s several columns of appeal to the miners and mechanics to vote against J. A. Berkey, fell very fiat. The working men are onto old Lucifer,. and his influence among them amounts. to no more than these cat tms that grow in swamps. It is a noticeable fact that in the localities where the dirty Meyersdale Commercial and the dirty Windber Era were circulated the thickest, the anti-Scull majorities were the largest. It never pays to circulate campaign. canards for a boodle. The Somerset Herald prophesied that Windber would skin Berkey alive and. hang his hide on the fence to dry. Well, he was defeated in that borough by only 7 votes. That was only knock- ing off a little of his cuticle, and Berkey. | will soon get that back, Lefore the primary, the Scull organs | all praised Chairman Ogle for his fair- uess in conducting the campaign. Bug now, since the bolters are knocked. clean out, the blame is all on the chair- man. Gentlemen, it was the Republi-- cans who fixed your clock. If there was so much fraud at ithe primary, it’s a wonder some one does not try to scoop in those big rewards {ulfered by the Herald and the Commes-- cial. Talk is cheap when a fellow gets. licked at the polls, but to produce eyi- | dence is quite another thing. Recorder John Shaffer discharged his brother Charles. who was his clerk: - | because he refused to vote the Demo- cratic ticket, last fall. Well, Johnny | has heard from the people, and he has been soundly rebuked for his rascally treatment toward his erippled brother. At any rate Harvey M.

There is crape on the | door and an old cadaver on the inside. The night that Bob Scull. and Virgil | Saylor were in town ‘before the elee- tion, some men were aroused from their slambers at the midnight hour (and given from $10 to $15 to vote for Harvey M.

What would be-- come of his chances of: clection if Judge Kooser and all his friends would vote against Weller, next fall? Good tepublicans never bolt, Mr. Weller, and it’s mighty good for you, too, that they don’t. Wonder why Lucifer Smith’s “judge up a tree” didn’t hand something down this week. Guess he didn’t like to hand down what he has been see- ing and hearing since last Saturday He is no longer a judge up a tree, but he is i a jackass in a hole, same as mie and Lucifer.
