There is no doubt in the mind of any
one at all familiar with political condi-
tions in this senatorial district as to the
election of Hon. Wm. C. Miller as State
Senator on the 4th day of November.
The voters in the district know him.
They know he is an unfaltering Repub-
lican. They know he is an experienced
legislator. They know he is a safe man.
They know he is a man who under-
stands their interests and wiil devote
his time to serving them. No man
who ever served in the Legislature
from this section has a better record for
careful and persistent attention to the
personal and general interest of the
constituencies they were chosen to rep-
resent. He is systematic and indefat-
igble. When he says he will do any-
thing he does it, and he has the ability
of knowing how to do things for the
people he represents. He can be de-
pended upon—absolutely. He has been
tried and never failed. The more the
voters learn of him the more they ad-
mire him. The people of Bedford
county know him and believe in him
and vote for him, as the flattering ma-
jorities he has always received when a
candidate for any public office will
show. The Republicans of the district
will know more of him before eleetion
day and their votes will elect him.

fie 010 Scull are ond Ine
Treg Asses, or vie Re:
Suit of Fusion.
Once upon a time there was a mare
of the Scull breed that had been well
fed for many years at a crib filled by
the general public. The mare for many
years was well groomed and had free
access to the crib, to the exclusion of
all.other horses ’mongst the hills 0’
Somerset. For a number of years the
equine lady behaved herself fairly well
and during all that time she had enough
to eat and a great deal to spare. But
there were other faithful old work
horses that had worked far harder
than this particular mare and had done
much more effective work for the pub-
lic good than the one that was growing
fatter and fatter each year at the pub-
lic crib; but they had to hustle for
their provender and get it the best way
they could. In the meantime the Scull
mare was not only waxing fatter, but
also began to develop a very insolent
and lazy disposition. She would kick
at those who for years had been feed-
ing her, and frequently she would lay
back her ears and bite them in the
back.
This state of affairs lasted until the
Scull mare’s conduct became intolera-
ble, and on several occasions the other
horses turned in and gave her a com-
plete wallopping. In fact they chased
her away from the public crib and took
possession of it themselves. They,
however, were more kind to the old
Scull mare than she deserved, and they
made all sorts of reasonable overtures
to her, telling her that there was
enough in the public erib for all, and
that if she would only do what was
right, peace and harmony would pre-
vail and all her past sins would be for-
given. But the old Scull mare nour-
ished her wrath to keep it warm, and
she vowed that she would either have
exclusive access to the crib or kick it
to pieces and destroy the contents.
Seeing that nothing else would do,
the other horses ran her out of the pub-
lic pasture and a considerable distance
from the crib. Then seeing that noth-
ing else could be done, and that the
old “critter” was up against the real
thing, the old Scull mare walked up
and down the public highway, feeding
on thistles and plotting revenge. How-
ever, no one came to her assistance un-
til one day two worthless asses came
down the turnpike doing a good deal
of braying and laying all sorts of jack-
assical plans to get at the publié¢ crib
themselves. One of these asses was a
large grizzled old fellow named
Aleck Sr., while the other was a degen-
erated donkey bearing the name of
Aleck Jr. They made all sorts of fool-
ish assertions, and talked very glibly
and lovingly with the old Seull mare.
A wise mare, of course would have
laughed to scorn the overtures made
to her by the two asses, but the old
Scull mare felt a good deal like thirty
cents herself and was just as foolish as
the two Aleck asses, and she readily
agreed to form family relations with
the asses, with the understanding that
as soon as they could rear a family
strong enough, they would marshal
their forces, attack the faithful horses
at the public crib, drive them away and
?take possession of it themselves.
In due course of time a new offspring
was born to the unnatural union, and
that offspring was indeed a spectacle
for gods and men. Its ears were as
extensive as the gall of John R. Scott,
while its brain was as small as that of
Lou A. Smith. It was a horrible look-
ing creature, and even the old Scull
mare was ashamed of it.
Now it happened that another ass
named Lucifer had been admitted to
the family before the new offspring had
been born, but he generally had to
stand back and simply obey orders.
But the ass named Lucifer was present
at the bornin’, and he was standing
there watching the old Scull mare as
she was sizing up her new-born off-
spring. Well, there they all stood,
looking at the mongrel creature that
had just been born, and as the old
mare watched the young thing floun-
dering about trying to get on its feet,
she expressed her disgust at the ap-
pearance of the offspring.
Then the little Lucifer ass pricked
his long ears, saucily shook his little
tail and said: “Well, you can’t hold
me responsiple for the mongrel ‘erit-
| ter’, for you know I am only a little,
old, shriveled-up gelding. You must
scold yourself and the two Aleck asses.”
Hearing what the Lucifer ass had said,
the two Aleck asses began to quarrel,
and each tried to shirk all responsi-
bility. The old grizzled fellow said:
“I am tooold to father anything, and
it’s real mean to attempt to hold me re-
sponsible.” Then Aleck Jr. began to
bray and declare that he was entirely
innocent, whereupon the old Scull mare
said: “Well, I don’t know which of
you asses to blame the most for this
disgusting freak, but it is evident that
the mongrel and silly looking thing is
.| the result of fusion and I am disgraced
for life. We'll never get back to the
public crib and we do not, ‘deserve to.
Fusion has ereated that stupid, worth-
less creature, and I should have known
better than to have anything todo with
any of you. Look at the weak,stagger-
ing thing! It will never be able to
walk, much less make: a run for the
public crib, and we haven’t a drop of
Barker’s liniment to apply to its un-
steady legs.”
So saying, the old Scull mare grabbed
the Lucifer ass by the ear with her
teeth and flung him high ircto a treetop,
where he was held fast by an ear that
caught fast in the fork of two limbs.
And it was a case where the cat never
came back. Then, after the old Scull
mare had kicked all the wind out of
Aleck Sr. she kicked Aleck Jr. through
a rail fence, knocked down six rods of
the same, pawed up the dust and ex-
pired, leaving the mongrel offspring to
die for want of succor.
The thoroughbred horses viewed the
scene from the other side of the fence,
laughed a horse laugh and are still
keeping it up. After Nov. 4th they
will laugh all the more.

Endorsement of Speer’s Wines by

Tue Commercial says: ‘Clean poli-
tics and decent political methods are
bound to win.” “Betcher” life, old man,
that’s why the whole Republican ticket
is bound to be elected by sweeping ma-
jorities. ‘
“Lucirer” SMITH said last week that
bouquets are coming his way. Yes, we
know they are, but most of them smell
like Limberger cheese or decaying
Sculls. That’s the way old “Lucifer”
and his politics smell.
On, yes, “Lucifer,” we’ll elect Co oper
Don’t fret about that. We will also
elect all the rest of the Republican
ticket. “The Frosty Sons of Thunder”
are built that way, but as to the old
Scull mare—well, we’ll coop ’er for all
time to come, and you’ll be shut up in
the coop with her. You are fit only to
dwell in a mare’s nest, anyway.
Ix his speech at Clearfield the other
night State Treasurer Harris said:
“During the next 60 days every dollar
of debt in the way of appropriations to
schools, hospitals and every dollar of
debt with the exception of the bonded
debt will be paid by the State Treasur-
er, and even after that is done Penn-
sylvania will have more money in her
treasury than any other state in the
Union.”

Lou SMITH says he has seen and talk-
ed with many, and he declares that the
bolters and soreheads are growing in
numbers right along. You have seen,
have you? What nonsense! What rot!
What bosh! Why, you poor old jade,
at best you never could see after four
o'clock, and politically you have always
been stone blind. Growing in num-
bers? Yes, to be sure, but the num-
bers are growing smaller, the same as
you are doing with your cooing and
boohooing.

Isn't it about time for J. Calyin Low-
ry to write another letter to “Billy”
Daugherty, telling what his influence
and power did when he was yet an ob-
scure law student, and threaten what
he will do since he is a full-fledged law-
yer, if “Billy” refuses to support him?
Just ask Mr. Daugherty about the let-
ter he once received from J. Calvin. It
was the softest piece of brow-beating
that ever came down the political pike
and turned many people
Calvin for all time to come.
Tuar selfish interests are at the bot-
tom of the opposition to the county
ticket is proved by the fact that those
who would see it defeated have turned
front completely in their attitude to-
ward Senator Quay and the state Re-
publican organization. It’s the county
printing some of the newspapers seek,
and that’s the whole of it. It would
seem strange if the voters of this coun-
ty can be led from the paths of recti-
tude by the mercenary motive of coun-
ty organs.—Rockwood Gazette.
a
GENERAL KooNTz has never appeared
to better advantange than in declining
to stand as a candidate for State Sena-
tor on a ticket that had for its single
purpose the defeat of the regularly-
nominated Republican ticket of our
county. General Koontz having be-
come convinced that the promoters of
his candidacy wished to make use of
him to encompass the defeat of the
county ticket, with characteristic brav-
ery and sturdy honesty. the General
declined to stand against his friends,
his party and his conscience. The bun-
combe that comes from the opposition
press this week to the effect that Gen-
eral Koontz has been bulldozed off the
ticket by the regular organization, and
that he is either a knave or a fool, will
be resented by all true Republicans of
the: county as a cruel wrong and a
wanton insult to a man whose intelli-
gence, integrity and popularity have
made him a commanding figure in
State and National affairs.—Rockwood
Gazette. ;
THE GAZETTE, under its present man-
agement will not get down to the acri-
monious discussions that appear to be
the stock in trade of many Somerset
county politicians and newspapers, and
all effort to drag the editor into the
slime will fail. We are a Republican.
We voted at the Republican primaries
last June and thereby pledged support
of the ticket nominated, and we shall
abide by the consequences. Why should
not all other Republicans do likewise?
Is there a candidate on the ticket who
is not worthy and well qualified to fill
the position he seeks? Was not the
June primary as honestly conducted as
other primaries have been? Admitting
corruption unknown to us in any previ-
ous political experience, was not there
as much corruption with the de-
‘feated faction as with the victorious?
And have not these deplorable methods
been fosced upon the dominant faction
by that once-victorious organization.
whose corruption has brought its re-
ward? This is all to be deplored, and
it will never be righted by “the pot
calling the kettle black,” when both
need scouring. Republicans should
vote their ticket, and do the scouring
at leisure. Surely, they can hope for
nothing better in following a bolt into
the ranks of the common enemy, and
the Gazette does not believe any con-
siderable number will do it.—Rock-
wood Gazette.
He Learned a Great Truth,
It is said of John Wesley that he
once said to Mistress Wesley: “Why
do you tell that child the same thing
over and over again?’ “John Wesley,
because once telling is not enough.” It
is for this same reason that you are told
again and again that Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy cures colds and grip;
that it counteracts any tendency of
these diseases to result in pneumonia,
and that it is pleasant and safe to take.

Isn’t He an Innocent Guy, Though?
As a matter of fact, the editor of the
Herald had nothing whatever to do
with either Mr. Koontz’s proposed can-
didacy or withdrawal. Personally it
was a matter of supreme indifference
to him whether Mr. Koontz went to
the State Senate or to oblivion; but
when it comes to making him responsi-
ble for the wobbling political actions of
Mr. Koontz the Herald begs leave to
enter a disclaimer.—Somerset Herald.
“Timmie” Scull is vePy innocent of
fusion since his attempted deception of
General Koontz came to grief. Since
the General refused to serve as a dupe
for Mr. Scull, the arch party traitor,
“Timmie,” would now see him in ob-
livion.' Like Uriah Heep, “Timmie” is
now so “umble,” and back of his sneak-
ing countenance his modest blush casts
a reflection like one of these old-fash-
ioned fat lamps that our grandmothers
used to have. As some of Mr. Scull’s
most faithful benchmen are following
the Fusion Will o’ the Whisp, are we
to believe that “Timmie” has lost his
influence with them?
