NOW IN THE S00P.
Dean Blow To Plot Against
Repudlcan Ticks.
THE BOLTERS AND THE
DEMOCARTS IN A DEAL.
They Turn Out a Mongrel Ticket
that Won’t Fool Anybody.
From the Somerset Standard.
The two weeks just passed have been
weeks of ups and dows for the aggre-
gation that has been plotting to defeat
the Republican ticket in this county.
The aggregation referred to is compos-
ed of the Scull gang, and the few Demo-
crats who assume the power to throw
the Democratic party into any deal
whose maw may be open.
The ignominious failure of the bolt
led by this same Scull gang last fall is
a matter of history. In that bolt these
Sculloerats abandoned every right to
membership in the Republiean party,
and turned their combined influence
to the support of the Democratic party.
Last spring these Scullocrats pretend-
ed to be Republicans again long enough
to put up a ticket at the Republican
primary and see it overwhelmingly de-
feated. From that day to this they
have been plotting to defeat the ticket
then nominated. Their organ, the
Bolters’ Bazoo, sometimes called “Her-
ald,” has persistently refused to recog-
nize the ticket nominated at the Re-
publican primary, and its gang have as
persistently, ‘as a matter of business,”
conspired to overthrow that ticket
or force it into a “business deal.” They
have not done and cannot do either.
When the time came to gather up
the threads of the weeks of plotting
these Scullocrats had indulged in, and
crystalize them in a ticket of opposi-
tion to the Republican ticket, they felt
the necessity of a candidate of unques-
tioned character upon whom to build
their bolters’ ticket, and in their dire
extremity they were driven to seek
such in the person of one who had with
entire consistency opposed their tricky
methods through a score of years, and
in one whom they had maligned with
their every political breath and pen
throughout that period.
The Scallites didn’t dare to approach
General Koontz with such a monstrous
propositirn, but they dared to send
their emissaries. With the stealth of a
cunningly conceived plan they first in-
spired certain bolters and Democrats
of Bedford county with their plot in
order that the initial solicitation might
come from abroad. These Bedford
emissaries of the Scullites played their
part well, and then the Scull heelers at
home began their approaches, and for
days and weeks they and certain Demo-
crats were frequent callers at General
Koontz’s office. They persistently im-
portuned him to become an independ-
ent candidate for the State Senate.
They did not intimate to him that
their plot included the building of an
entire bolters’ county ticket upon his
candidacy. They knew that such an
intimation would thwart their plans.
But they assured him that he was to
run alone, and that not only they, but
the Bolters’ Bazoo, would efface the
venomous past with a coat of loyalty
and roll up support for him in great
pundles. Finally, when this sort of
importunity had become almost un-
bearable, General Koontz agreed to
become a candidate, with the under-
standing that he was to run alone.
The next morning the gang was
hilarious. In order that the editor of
the Bolters’ Bazoo might shirk respon-
sibility, as he always does, the office of
John R. Scott was made headquarters.
There nomination papers under the
name “Citizens’ Party” were drawn up,
and the heelers sent out to bring in
signers. J. Calvin Lowry, who “didn’t
approve of the bolt,” obeyed orders and
took papers to Elk Lick for signaturs;
Harvey M. Berkley, who has cut about
as many political didos in his brief
career as one man could cut, was sent
to Meyersdale with papers, and others
were sent elsewhere.
The Bolters, the trading Democrats
and the single individual who com-
poses the Union party of this county
were in high feather. They had been
successful in the first point in their con-
spiracy and they chuckled with broad
faces. Their visions of a split in the
ranks of organization Republicans and
of the Standard’s guns spiked, lifted
them to a state of joy that seldom
illusion lasted. They secured the re-
quired number of signatures, in one
way or other, and hustled their papers
off to Harrisburg.
Then they took up the task of form-
ing a county ticket, but it was up hill
work. It was bard ito find men who
were willing to lend themselves to the
schemers to the extent of becoming
candidates on a bolters’ ticket.
Then came the Bolters’ Bazoo, with
its tale of a “Political Bomb Exploded,”
but the gay old deceiver was hiding be-
hind a “leader of the Citizens’ party
with whom the Bazoo reporter talked
yesterday morning.” Aithough the
Bolters’ Bazoo crowd were the origina-
tors of this bolters’ movement they
didn’t have the courage to father the
thing in the Bazoo. Fearing that the
thing might yet spring a leak, the Ba-
zoo wanted to keep within reach of a
life preserver, regardless of what might
happen to its emissaries. It was a
piece of cowardly journalism that must
have revealed to the heelers not the
explosion of political bomb, but the ex-
plosion of a knavish trick, in which the
chief knaves were taking pretty good
care of their own hides.
The turn of the tide came soon
enough, and showed that the man at
bellows of the Bazoo, though a shirker,
is yet shrewder than his servants. The
Standard came out with its guns not
spiked, and Republicans came up with
a solid front to fight for their ticket
against any assault the boiters might
make upon it. Then came the depress-
ing news from Harrisburg that the
Scull emissaries in Bedford had made
a fizzle of their nomination paper. This
took the wind from the sails of the
gang and the extension of their faces
promptly changed from a horizontal to
perpendicular. Each member of the
gang looked as if he had swallowed a
political bomb that was likely to ex-
plode at any moment. The Bazoo’s
boast that the gang would get up a
bolters’ county ticket, and the efforts
of the gang to do so, brought to Gen-
eral Koontz the truth of the deception
that had been practiced upon him, and
he promptly notified the gang of the
withdrawal of his name as a candidate.
Thus was the bubble of the gang
bursted. Their brief joy had fled, and
a more lantern-jawed set of political
plotters never sauntered about the
streets of, Somerset. They were the
weary possessors of a scheme loose at
both ends and threatening to rip in
the middle at any minute. They didn’t
know whether they were going or com-
ing, and didn’t seem to care. The
heelers, not wanting to wait till the re-
porter of the Bolters’ Bazoo again in-
terviewed *‘a leader of the Citizens’
party in the morning,” sought “Scot-
tie’s” office, where they hoped “Scottie”
and “Your Uncle Aleck” would be able
to tell them where they “were at.”
They were the most bilious-looking
set of Seullelicks one could see in a
month’s travel.
“Scottie” and “Your Uncle Aleck,”
who are experts in the manufacture of
inspiration, assured the depressed heel-
ers that all was not lost; that they
would have the chief bolter (though he
must be kept under cover), appeal to
Boss Flinn, of Pittsburg, to send his
man Weller up to patch up the rents
in the “busted” plot. The appeal was
made, Weller came, and the gang held
its breath. After the arrival of the
evening train, Monday, members of
the gang and Democrats who are in
the plot hurried to the hotel to give
the Pittsburg emissary the glad hand.
With this inspiration he hied himself
to the office of the Bolters’ Bazoo for
final instructions, and then to the office
of General Koontz, where his pleadings
ran far into the night. But the Gener-
al was firm in his determination to
withdraw from the scheme into which
the gang had deceived him. He de-
clared that he would not be a party to
any scheme that would oppose the reg-
ular Republican county ticket ; that he
would only agree to be a candidate un-
der his origiaal agreement, which was
that he should run alone; or that the
remainder of the ticket should be the
entire Republican ticket—State, dis-
trict and county. This, of course, rob-
bed the Scullelicks of their entire plot,
and their wind was again gone; and
after the passing of the morning train
Weller was gone, too.
The very meat of the Scullelick plot
was the formation of a county ticket
upon which the Scull gang and the
Aleck Democrats could unite. Al-
though the Democrats of the county,
through their represencatives in coun-
ty convention last spring, nominated a
full county ticket, the bosses who have
‘| 50e. and $1.
crats and Republicans, for the Dense
cratic ticket and the so-called “Cite -
zens’ ” ticket are now identical.
There are some glaring incongom-
ties in this mongrel ticket. For am
stance, on the ticket dished up for thes
Democrats there are two alleged Be
publicans for the State Assembly. Just
how Democrats will get these Alesk-
coated pills down remains to be seen.
“Your Uncle Aleck” must think the
Democrats of the county ina high states
of biliousness to prescribe such a dos=.
On the other band the Scuil ticket didi
es up Democrats for the offices of Poe
thonotary, Register of Wiils, Clerk of
Courts, Treasurer, Commissioner, As
ditor, County Surveyor and Coroner.
Voters who have delighted in calling
themselves “Stalwart Repulicans” wilt
hardly be able to get this concoctimm
down without a generous accompami-
ment of Timmie sauce.
Hey, diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
Uncle Aleck jumped over the moon,
Little Aleck laughed to see such sport
And Timmie ran away with the spoon.

THe latest is that one J. Calvin Low=
ry is to run for State Senator on the
mongrel ticket, since General Koontz
has refused to accept the empty dis
honor. Well, it won’t hurt J. Calvie
much to get another good licking. He's
used to it, you know.
TaAT old deflated bladder, Lou Smith,
has again served notice on the Republi-
can organization of Somerset county
that he once more has a good licking i®
reserve for the Republican ticket.
“Lucifer” has been serving notice te
that effect for several years, but the
licking has never materialized. The
lash always descends upon his owm
back, where it does the most good, and
that’s where it will land this year
Poor old “Lucifer!” “Whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad.”
Last week the Meyersdale Commer-
cial was supporting General Koontz
for State Senate, although the Generaf
had withdrawn from the mongrel ticket
nearly a week before the Commercial
was issued. Just who the Commercial
will support this week, we have not
learned at this writing. Perhaps i
will be “Mans” Baughman, H. Clay
McKinley or “Lobster-nosed Gabe”™
Lichty. The Commercial was first for
Miller, then for Koontz, and next i
will be for any old thing, if “Timmie™
Scull does not keep “Lucifer” posted
better. If “Lucifer” can’t keep om
sucking the hind teat he will suck the
old Scull-Coffroth cow’s tail. This will
be hard on the old political cow, for
she needs her tail to keep the flies off
of her poor old carcass.
Tur Cambria county Unionists haye
withdrawn their ticket and the leaders
of the movement have instructed their
followers to vote the Republican tickes.
This insures the re-election of Con
gressman Evans. As old Somerset is
no longer in the old 20th congressionsl
district with Cambria, Blair and Bed-
ford, we are naturally not as mueh in-
terested in the politics of that distriet
as we used to be. Nevertheless, we
are glad to know that Congressmam
Evans has such excellent prospects for
re-election. His official record thus
far has been excellent, and we do net
think his district could well afford te
turn him down. We used to have
great confidence in the republicanism
of his opponent, Joseph E. Thropp, bat
since Mr. Thropp has decided to run cm
a fusion ticket, he has shown that he is
any old thing for Mr. Thropp and aa
office for himself. No Republican cem
afford to go outside of his party to vote
for Mr. Thropp or any other fusionist.
The sly Joseph has adopted the tactics
of Geo. R. Scull, Harvey M. Berkley
and other soreheads in our own coun
ty, who are also in the fusion business
this year. They are all in the sam=
dirty business—trying to ruin the Re-
publican party because they ca
rule it. All of the fusionists na
owe the Republican party a great de
been in the plot with the Scull gang, in
order to complete their part of the deal,
retired several of the candidates nomi-
nated in convention to make room for
comes to such tricksters. They did not
know how unreal the visions were, but
they drank deeply of the joy while the
the bolters set up by the Scull gang,
thus forming a ticket that ought to,
and probably will, disgust both Demo-
gro
but the and old party owes thes
nothing but a most severe and bli:
ing rebuke. Here's hoping ths
Evans will be elected by an overwhelos-
ing majority, and we are glad to know
| that the fusion movement in Cambria
| has been abandoned.
