PLURER DEFEATED FOR STNTE TREASURER, BUT BALANCE OF REPUBLICAN STATE TICK- ET ELECTED BY LARGE MAJORITY. SOMERSET COUNTY GIVES ANOTH- ER STINGING REBUKE TO THE SCULL BOLTERS AND FUSIONISTS. Entire Republican County Ticket Elected, but Fusionists Defeat Democrats for Minority Com- missioner and Auditor. As a result of last Tuesday’s election, J. Lee Plummer, the Republican .can- didate for Treasurer of Pennsylvania, is a badly defeated man, but the bal- ance of the Republican State ticket is elected by large majorities. While we regret to see a single Republican de- feated, and while we gave vigorous support to the entire Republican ticket, we nevertheless feel no regret over Mr. Plummer’s defeat in one respect, viz: He voted for the Press Muzzle bill, which lost him the support of many influential Republicans and Republican newspapers. So far as the office of State treasurer is concerned, we be- lieve he would have filled it with honor and credit to himself and the common- wealth, and we do not believe anything has been gained to the state by the election of Berry, the successful Fusion candidate. In Philadelphia the Fusionists defeat- ed the Republican State and County tickets by majorities of about 50,000. The old organization in that city was doubtless corrupt enough, but it is not likely that the new gang in control will prove any better after once being thoroughly entrenched in power. In good old Somerset county, the home of the “Frosty Sons of Thunder,” there was a great pretense of reform by a lot of sham reformers headed by the defunct Scull ring, but it made a miserable showing at the polls, for the honest, self-respecting voters know that no political reform is needed in this county. The entire Republican ticket received handsome majorities in Som- erset county, but the fusionists defeat- ed the Democratic candidates for mi- nority Commissioner and minority Au- ditor, which, of course, is no funeral of the Republicans’ and very little satis- faction to the fusionists. Plummer carried Somerset county by a pluralty of 960. Following are most of the county pluralities of the Repub- lican candidates: Begley, for Sheriff, who was on the Republican, Orphans’ and Citizens’ Union tickets, 3903 ; Chas. C. Shafer, for Prothonotary, 1188; Boose, for Recorder, M. H. Fike, for Clerk of Cook, for Clerk of Orp d Register of Wills, 1543; Specht, for Commission- er, 551; Augustine, for Commissioner, 268; Hoffman, for Treasurer, 1144; Brant, for Poor Director, 1385. For minority Commissioner, Zimmer- man, Fusionist, beat Miller, Democrat, by 979. Miller also ran behind Donges, Fusionist, 381 votes. At the hour of going to press we do not have the official vote for Auditors, County Surveyor and Coroner, but the Republican candidates are all elected, while Steinbaugh, Fusionist, has beaten Kretchman, Democrat, for minority Auditor. Salisbury borough was carried by Berry by two votes, but the Republican candidates carried it for the other of- fices, except that Donges, Fusionist, tied Specht, Republican, for Commissioner, and defeated the other candidates for that office by small majorities. Elk Lick township was carried by the Fusioniste for their entire ticket. RESULT IN OTHER STATES. The Democrats carried Ohio, electing their man for Governor, but in Mary- land the Republicans had the best of the battle, defeating Gorman’s Poe amendment by a large majority. EVERY OUNCE YOU EAT.

ArTER all “Edwie” only bad a bad case of worms when he imagined he saw a court house anaconda. WaEN the pledge-breakers repledged themselves to the voters of Somerset county, their pledges were taken at their real value, which depreciated greatly since the last Republican pri- mary.

All honor to good old Stonycreek. Boss-MADE nominations hatched in the back office of the Meyersdale Com- mercial do not seem to be very popu- lar. Not enough of the people can be fooled on a sham reform scheme as transparent as that to make it win. tlm Republicans of the right stripe. Inthe late battle they walloped the Demo- crats, Scullocrats, Prohibitionists, Or- phans, Citizens’ Union, Socialists, An- archists and every other old party and thing you ever heard of. _“Epwig,” “Clintie” and Ankeny are still orphans, poor silly things. “Ed- wie,” in his great speech, made mention of a coming deluge, but he didn’t think that deluges are usually sent for just such “lomixes” as he is. Well, it got him, and for once “Edwie” had to take water. Wira a full quota of Republican county officials elected by big majori- ties, last Tuesday, the Somerset Herald and Meyersdale Commercial can see at a glance that the public crib is securely locked to them for at least three years more. That is indeed good news to the taxpayers of Somerset county. THE “Frosty Sons of Thunder” are not yet ready to let the Sculls and old Lou Smith reform the county and re- turn to their $567-election proclama- tion graft. Clean politics and clean business in the county offices cannot be expected from the dirty and defunct Scull gang, and the people have given the gang to understand that no more Scullism is wanted. IT was truly amusing to see J. Calvin Lowry hugging “Edwie” to his bosom during the latter’s late court house an- aconda campaign. In years agone, J. Calvin used to refer to “Edwie” as the dish-nosed s. of a b.,, forgetting, of course, that his own nc s cut over the same pattern, and t got it a THE “Frosty Sons of Thunder” are | little more dished every time he stuck it into the political arena. They’re a great pair of dish-nosed rag babies, “Edwie” and J. Calvin, and they always get beat to the tune of ragtime music. THE STAR is requested to state that Colonel “Edwie” Werner will offer the following named property at public sale, at the residence purchased for him by his wife, in Somerset borough, on the Steenth day of Vemnober, to- wit :—1 Court House Anaconda; 1,000,- 000 Threadbare Campaign Lies; 1 Cam- paign Literary Bureau containing a quantity of Campaign Chestnuts; 1 Imaginary Political Machine marked by a trail of human blood; 1 Real Po- litical Machine (Scull make) somewhat damaged and bulging with a choice as- sortment of Campaign Lies; several Imaginary Political Slates without a crack or break ; several broken Politi- cal Pledges. also some shattered Po- litical Hopes and Aspirations: 100 copies of Colonel “Edwie’s” Speeches and other Political Rubbish too numer- ous to mention. Terms will be made known on day of sale. The auctioneer will be that celebrated would-be poli- tician, Roscoe Conkling Welfley, and the clerk the renowned Abraham Lin- coln Lowry, of bonded-warehouse fame. Edwie” may also try to induce his wife to sell the home. owing to the fact that it was bought a few years ago for $1,000, has only increased in walue about $4,000 during that time, while the taxation thereon has increased the outrageous amount of $1.20. “Ed- wie” can’t stand such oppression, hence he would like to sell out, root and branch, and go to the nearest orphan asylum or some quiet resort where po- litical lunatics are kept in out of the wet. Free lunch, consisting of crow soup served a la Scull, will be supplied in liberal quantities to all who care to attend the sale. Our old friend Par- soli Gilbert will be on hand to keep order. Tre farmers of Elk Lick township made a big mistake, last Tuesday, when they remained at home and allowed the old Coal Run and Boynton Socialist gang to run the election to suit them- selves. We know of a few sorehead farmers of the Scull persuasion that actually helped the old Socialist gang masquerading under the false name of Citizens’ Union, and one, in particular, who told the editor of this paper that he could not vote for any man who had not voted for Roosevelt, was at the polls electioneering for Donges, a sore- head Democrat who did all he could to prevent the election of President Roosevelt. Consistency, thou art a jewel, but Scullocrat soreheads know not what consistency is. Abraham Lincoln Lowry was out in full feather doing all he could to help the Socialist serpent, and while everybody knew that it didn’t matter a particle how Elk Lick voted, so far as the general result in the county was concerned, yet the work of Sorehead Abraham and other foolish fellows will greatly strengthen the nerve of the old Soeci- alist gang, and at the next township election Abraham will again have to turn in and help vo kill the Socialist serpent, just as he did last February. Sorehead Abraham has no use for the Socialist gang at township elections, but be likes to use them to gratify his own personal hatred for the Republi- can county organization, at the general elections in November. It will require the combined forces of the Republicans and Democrats to keep the irrespon- sible and incompetent Socialist gang from gaining control of all the town- ship offices, at the next township elec- tion, and even then it may be impossi- ble to keep them out. Should the So- cialist gang win, next February, which is by no means impossible, the farmers and heavy taxpayers would deserve no sympathy whatever. It would serve them right for not exercising their right and duty of suffrage. Things have indeed reached a deplorable con- dition of carelessness in old Elk Lick, a township having over 600 registered voters, when only 264 people turn out to vote, as at last Tuesday’s election, and a majority of that number people who own little or no property, pay scarcely any tax, and who believe in the hateful doctrine that people who by thrift and economy have accumu- lated property and money sare all rascals and thieves.

Upon the stage in the auditorium of the Hotel Rudolf, at Atlantic City, there was led a big, weak, stumbling, whining dog, from whose eyes misery looked out upon the attendants at the convention of the International Stew- ards Association. “This animal” said Prof. Eugene Girard, of Niagara Falls, the chemist of the association. “has been fed for the last two weeks upon foods colored with coal tar dyes in exactly the same pro- portions with which jams, jellies, cat- sups, candies and other human foods are colored. “He reproduces perfectly all the symptons and effects of human dyspep- sia. Melancholy, distrustful, sleeping bat little, all his organs in chaotic re- volt, he affords an example of the aw- ful injuries inflicted upon humanity by thieving, life-wrecking food adultera- tions. “The dog has been given all that he will eat of bread, meat, dog biscuits and other normal foods, but all of these have been mixed with the same dyes that American men, women and chil dren swallow daily by the ton. Can you wonder now that dyspepsia and its at- tendants, Bright's disease, tubercu- losie—in fact, all the deseases of malna- trition—have fastened themselves upon modern society? “The menace is growing. Efforts by individual States check it temporarily, but do not kill it. The people of Amer- ica must look higher for rescue from these avaricious, murderous food pois- oners. “They must appeal to that brave man and foremost American, Theodore Roosevelt, and to Congress, if a perma- nent check to this health-wrecking in- dustry is to be made. “Food poisoning,” said Prof. Girard . in the course of his talk; “is the crime of the epoch. It goes unpunished, and the men who have grown rich and are growing richer in the awful trade, are counted respectable members of so- ciety. Itis time that the branding iron of law and public opinion should be put upon them, and that they should get some portion of the punishment they have merited so richly.” MAN’S UNREASONABLENESS is often as great as woman’s. But Thos. 8. Austin, Mgr. of the “Republi- can,” of Leavenworth, Ind., was not un- reasonable, when he refused to allow the doctors to operate on his wife, for female trouble, “Instead,” he says, “we concluded to try Electric Bitters. My wife was then so sick, she could hardly leave her bed, and five (5) physicians had failed to relieve her. After taking Electric Bitters, she was perfectly cured, and can now perform all her household duties.” Guaranteed by E. H. Miller, druggist, price 50c. 12-1 The Newspaper Man. The following article which sums up the qualities of the newspaper man is from the Pittsburg Dispatch: “There are so many, many people in the world, intelligent people at that, who have such an utterly warped im. pression of the newspaper man that it is only fair to that servant of the public to tell of a few of the things he some- times does for the good of the public. He is the man in the world who is ex- pected to work all of the time that he is awake, be an obsolete machine, be at the same time an intelligent being, with a fair knowledge of almost every- thing that has ever transpired, be po- lite, patient, entirely impersonal and fair, be energetic and up to date, en- thusiastic and a little more ambitious than his fellows, must get all of the news for his own paper first and at the same time be the storehouse for the secrets and confidence of some of the leading men of the country. “His ear must always be patient, his hand steady and his eye lighted to catch a glance of everything that goes’ on. In addition he must know news when he sees it, dig out the libel with- out question, expurgate that portion which will give offense, and do it all in the twinkling of an eye. If one were to pick out a big steel manufacturer, or wealthy banker, and tell those things about him, he would be regarded as a remarkable man, but in the case of the newspaper man, it is expected of him. And how many people think of this when they endeavor to snub or ig- nore?” NATURE NEEDS BUT LITTLE.
