SoME of the Prohibitionists are act- ing the wet dog with one of their can- didates for Commissioner. They are supporting Donges, a Democrat, along with Zimmerman. Tho other man on the Prohibition ticket for Commission- er,the one who is running strictly on his own party ticket, is getting tired of being knifed in the house of his friends, and he and his friends will be doing some knifing, too, on election day. THERE was a time when a good many people could be deceived by the silly political twaddle the old Somerset Herald belched forth, but the old pre- varicating Scull family organ doesn’t seem to realize that that day has gone by. The poor old faking Herald’s po- litical ranting falls very flat with people who know the thrifty organ of $567 election proclamation graft. Oh, no, the old Herald can’t get back to the public crib just yet a while. SEVERAL of the Orphans have been in town the past week soliciting alms in the shape of vote-pledges for the No- vember election, but since they don’t seem to consider pledges binding, they will hardly dare to rely on even the few pledges they may have gotten, if any. The philosophy of the fatherless candidates seems to be that it is wrong to ask for a pledge because it destroys the liberty of the voter, but that it is perfectly right to break a pledge, if you think you can win by doing so. Of course, with such an elastic creed, such candidates will not really expect those who promise to vote for them, to keep their promises, and, of course, they will not complain when they find after the election how few voters really took their candidacy seriously. They were a very discouraged looking lot of men when we last saw them, and so far as a newspaper probe can discover, they had plenty of good reason for being dis- couraged with the situation in Conflu- ence.—Confluence News.

Walker, all of whom are now candidates on the Citizens’ Union and Orphans’ tickets in this county, and that the original pledges are now in my possession. I further certify that I am a duly regis= tered elector of Somerset borough, Somerset county, Pennsylvania. CHas. C. SHAFER, Ex-Chairman. Somerset, Pa., Oct. 21, 1905. . COMMENT. Voters, what do you think of the shameless Ananiases now going up and down the county begging for votes, with nothing better than broken pledges to recommend them? Any man who will go back on a signed pledge, his most sacred word, is a very small “po- tato.” Any man who regards his word as lightly as that should nat be trusted. The pledge-breakers are telling people that their pledges were not sworn to, hence not binding. By the same logic and code of morals, then no man’s word should be believed unless it is sworn to, and if that is the case, then it is about time for Gabriel to blow his trumpet and the general invoice and house-cleaning of the universe to take place. However, most people will in- sist that a pledge should not be broken for the mere sake of trying to get pub- lic office or to stir up discord in a po- litical party, no matter whether the pledge is sworn to or not. When a man’s pledged word cannot be believed, we would not give much for his oath. THERE’S NO MORAL DIFFERENCE, The Connellsville Courier, one of the foremost Republican papers of Fayette county, has the following to say in ref- erence to the pledges taken and broken by some of the professed Somerset county Republicans who have joined the Orphans’ party: “The Meyersdale Republican thinks a pledge ought to be as‘ binding upon an honest man as his oath. And so it should. Thereis no moral difference between the pledge and the oath, save a matter of form, which matter of form carries with it amenity to the law. A man may break his pledge, and he can- not be liable any further, if at all, than for damage in a civil action. If he swear falsely, however, he is liable to criminal prosecution and punishment.” The pledge-breakers were fairly beat- en at the Republican primary, and they should follow the good example of that sturdy Republican, Wm. Deeter, and take their defeat gracefully. Deeter came much nearer being nominated than any of the pledge-breakers came to it, and if it hadn't been for the dirty sell-out engineered by an old bloated shyster over at Boswell, Mr. Deeter would have been nominated. Yet, in the face of it all, Deeter took his de- feat manfully, and he promptly wrote his successful opponent a letter of con- gratulation and assured him of his loyal support. That is what we call good Republicanism, and we admire a candidate who respects the will of the majority of his party. If the pledge-breakers would have been nominated, they would expect the support of those who opposed them at the primary; but, being defeated, they are showing themselves to be very un- fair, narrow-minded and unwilling to give the support they would expect if they had been nominated. Vote the whole Republican ticket, and give the pledge-breakers and sore- heads the rebuke they deserve. NEW CURE FOR CANCER.

The Somerset Herald is great on making assertions and charges, but it ir very short on truth. Ina longwind- ed calamity howl in its issue of this week, it winds up its tirade of falsehood with the following absurd and lying statement: “The Orphans’ party is made up of Republicans, whose sole object is to save Somerset county from the hands of those who have brought reproach upon her fame in order tha they might personally profit.” Let us analyze the statement made by the Herald and see how much truth there is in it. To begin with, the can- didates of the Orphans’ party must be recognized as the head of that party. And who are the candidates? We will tell. Begley, their candidate for Sheriff, is a Republican who was duly nominated at the last Republican primary. He heads the Republican county ticket as well as the Orphans’ ticket, but he says he did not seek the Orphans’ nomina- tion, and that he will not support a single man on their ticket. On the contrary, he has told Republican Coun- ty Chairman Forney, that if the Chair- man wished him to, he would go with him to any part of Somerset county to electioneer for the whole Republican ticket and against the entire Orphans’ ticket. The Orphans’ candidate for Prothon- otary is Clinton C. Wagner. Aside from being a pledge-breaker, an ex-Re- publican and a gosling weighing about 145 pounds, he is nothing, and devilish little of that. Their eandidate for Recorder is “Ed- wie” Werner, a man whom the Herald characterized as a political trickster and shyster for years. “Edwie” voted for Bryan and free silver twice, and he hasn’t been a Republican for the last ten years. He is also a pledge-breaker. William A. Weaver, for Clerk of Courts, is a mugwump and sorehead. E. A. Walker, for Register of Wills, ditto. He is only punk and another pledge-breaker. For County Commissioners the Or- phane’ candidates are George Donges and Chas. Zimmerman. The former is a dyed-in-the-#ool Democrat and was defeated at the last Democratic pri- mary. Zimmerman is a dyed-in-the- wool Prohibitionist. Calvin M. Ankeny, for Treasurer, is another pledge-breaker, defeated can- didate, mugwump and sorehead. For Auditors, the Orphans’ candi- dates are Chas. C. Streng and Geo. Steinbaugh. Streng is a Democrat-So- cialist and is a portion of the rubbish that the Socialists and semi-anarchists tried to elect to the Legislature, last fall. Steinbaugh is a man that can’t tell what his politics are, but it wouldn’t take him long to’ tell all he knows. For Poor Director, Josiah M. Bow- man would make as poor a director as we know of. He doesn’t know what his politics are, and he doesn’t know much of anything else. For County Surveyor, Albert E. Ray- man is a Republican, and is also the Republican candidate for the office to which he aspires. He did not seek the nomination on the Orphans’ ticket. George May, Orphans’ candidate for Coroner, is one of the Socialist crowd that last fall came within one vote of carrying Elk Lick township against President Roosevelt. He is also a lead- ing spirit in the corrupt aggregation that the Republicans and Democrats of Elk Lick township had to combine against at the last Township election in order to keep the township offices out of the hands and from under the baleful influence of the most vicious and illiterate element that ever cursed this garden spot of good old Somerset county. 2 The Herald must think its readers are a very ignorant lot to try to palm such a mongrel, socialistic, anarchistic, sorehead aggregation off on them as “Republicans.” If the Herald sue- ceeds in fooling many people, then there are more fools in Somerset coun= ty than we believe there are. Begley and Rayman are the only worthy can- didates on the Orphans’ ticket, and they are also on the Republican ticket. FAITH NOT NECESSARY.
