Rockwoun, Pa., May 7th, 19086.
To Ture REPUBLICAN VOTERS: —
of the
county my candidacy for Congress.
I announce to the voters
I am the first person not a resident
of the county-seat to ask the endorse-
ment of the people for this high office.
For about one hundred years the
residents of Somerset borough have
been signally honored by théir fellows.
I beg to solicit your vote for one who
was born on the farm, educated in the
public schools, and has spent the great-
er portion of his life as a merchant.
I shall seek your endorsement and
the district nomination by every hon-
if elected, shall
deal for every
orable means, and
stand for a “square
man.”
I shall advocate a pension for every
soldier who has rendered his country
service in any of the wars, no matter
as to the term of service.
I shall stand for federal legislation
abolishing all railroad passes, and for a
uniform passenger fare of two cents
per mile.
I shall favor a naturalization law re-
quiring all aliens desiring to become
citizens to read and write the English
language.
I hope to be able to meet many of
the voters personally before the day
fixed for the Republican Primary Elee-
tion, which will be held on Saturday
afternoon, May 26th.
I earnestly solicit your vote and sup-
port. Iam,
Your obedient servant,
E. D. MILLER.

Tuk Somerset Democrat intimates
that gentlemen may be tempted to an-
ger because it tells the truth, and the
Connellsville Courier adds that Editor
Grof must contemplate a departure
from the faith. ‘Nothing makes a Dem-
ocrat so mad as the truth. Most Dem-
ocrats know what a mess they have
made of it these ten years back, but
they don’t like to be told in public.
Tue danger of a strike in the an-
thracite region has passed, and, the
country is to be congratulated. Presi-
dent Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers, acted wisely in backing down
and not calling the miners out. A
strike in the anthracite region at this
time could mean but one thing, and
that would be the utter uprooting of
the organization in that region, and
perhaps its death blow in the nation.
We think Mitchell foresaw, it, too.

THERE is little reason to believe that
the state police will do violence to any
law-abiding citizen. Should they ex-
ceed their authority it will be a com-
paratively easy matter to bring them
to justice. The violent opposition to
the constabulary by certain labor or-
ganizations, and the heated demand for
the repeal of the law creating the force,
goes far to justify the contention of
those who insist that the miners’ union
is eager to encourage violence. That
is a fatal attude for any man or any
organization to assume in Pennsyl-
vania.—Somerset Democrat.
The proclamation addressed by Gov-
ernor Pennypacker to the anthracite
miners is senisble and to the point.
Boiled down it just means this: ‘‘Be
idle if you prefer, but let others work
if they want to.” That is in line with
the doctrine of personal liberty that
this great country is founded upon, but
it is the very doctrine that the labor
trust, the most senseless and oppressive
of all trusts, is trying the hardest to
overthrow. If the dreams of the labor
trust are ever realized, the new system
will soon break down under the weight
of its own arrogance and rottenness.

THE old family organ of ‘graft, the
Somerset Herald, is still butting into
the affairs of the Republican party.
The Herald ought to be attending to
the affairs of its own party—the Or-
phans. The editor of the Herald will be
unable to vote at the coming primary,
and not being eligible to vote with the
party he has forsaken. it is not likely
that many voters will be governed by
the dictating he is attempting to do
for a party of which he is no longer a
member. The Herald and the Meyers-
dale Commercial led an open revolt
against the Republican party. last fall,
now let them remain with the party
they founded.

Iris n pleasant task that meets the
Sentinel to announce that our friend
and former neighbor, Mr. E. D. Miller,
of Rockwood, as a candidate for repre-
sentative in Congress from this dis-
trict at the Republican primary, to be
held May 26. Mr. Miller served this
county efficiently and faithfully two
terms in the Assembly, and for sev-
eral years has been special agent of
the State agricultural department, the
onerous duties of which position he has
performed with conspicuous ability
and characteristic fidelity. Mr. Miller
is a high type of the Christian gentle-
man, and, we believe, is worthy and
well qualified to satisfactorily fillfithe
high office with which his many friends
in Somerset county and the congress-
ional district seek to honor him.—Que-
mahoning Sentinel.

Tae officials of the B. & O. railroad
made a tour of inspection over the
Salisbury branch, Monday, in a special
train of three handsome coaches. It is
said that the president of the road was
with the party. The B. & O. ought to
give Salisbury a passenger train when
their new schedule goes into effect,
this month. It’s a shame, a burning
shame, that the B. & O. has been giv-
ing no passenger service to Salisbury, a
town of 1,500 inhabitants, and a com-
munity that within a radius of five
miles has at least 4,500 people. Surely
we have just cause for complaint,
especially as the Salisbury branch is
one of the best paying roads for its
length that the B. & O. owns. It is
about time that the business men of
this town force the B. & O. to either
give us some accommodation or yield
up its charter. We can force the com-
pany to do either one thing or the
other.

D.J. HorNER, candidate for Assembly,
was in town yesterday morning. He
made THE STAr a pleasant call, as he
has always been one of this paper’s
staunch friends and patrons. Klse-
where in this issue he tells where he
stands on the vaccination question,
and while we have not promised to
support him, we nevertheless do not
hesitate to say that Mr. Horner is a
first rate fellow, and his position on the
present obnoxious vaccination law
suits us to a “t.”” So far as we know,
all of the Somerset county Legislative
candidates are in favor of the repeal of
the present vaccination law, but some
of them have not yet openly declared
their positions. Compulsory vaccina-
tion must go, and it is but right and
proper for the people to demand of the
candidates where they stand. It is
time to throw off the oppressive yoke
of medical graft and doctorcraft, and
at the coming elections the sturdy,
liberty-loving “Frosty Sons of Thun-
der” intend to strike a vigorous blow
for their God-given rights. We
wouldn't even vote for a brother who
would countenance or stand for Penn-
sylvania’s present hideous and dam-
nable vaccination law.

AGAINST VACCINATION LAW.
Candidate Daniel J. Horner De-
clares in Favor of its Repeal.
There is much complaint against the
present vaccination law of Pennsyl-
vania, and as a candidate for Assembly
I am frequently asked to work for its
repeal, if elected to the office I seek. I
hereby promise that if I am elected I
will put forth my best effort for the re-
peal of said law.

To the Republicans of Somerset
County.
1 beg to infom my many friends that
I shall not be a candidate for the Leg-
islature at the Primary election.
It has been a custom in this county,
with few exceptions, to accord to mem-
bers of the Assembly two eonsecutive
terms. 1 have enjoyed this privilege.
I deem it well not to disturb this un-
written law.
Thanking the Republicans of the
county for their many' kindnesses
shown me, I am,
Your obedient servant,
A L. C. LAMBERT.

UNION MINERS IN POLITICS.
This paper has, during the past few
years, been the unrelenting foe of a
certain brand of organized labor. But
it has never been opposed to decent,.
law-abiding, reasonable organized la-
bor. We have, however, bitterly op-
posed, and still oppose the arbitrary,
incendiary, murderous, law-defying
and senseless brand of organized labor
that for a few years had gained a
strong foothold in the Elk Lick coal
region. That brand of unionism we
shall continue to oppose as long as we
have life left to fight with. We have
no use for a brand of unionism that
makes watchmen necessary to guard
coal company property ; or that makes
a non-union man unsafe in going to' or
from his work ; or that wants to dictate
to people whom they shall speak to or
refuse to speak to, where they shall buy
and where they shall not buy, or that
will defend a brother regardless as to
whether he is in the right or wrong;
that becomes enraged when officers do
their sworn duty and enforce the law;
that employs big-mouthed, unprinci-
pled, rum-soaked villains and loafers of
unsavory reputation to act as organ-
izers, etc.
For peaceful, sensible, law-abiding
unionism we have all due respect, and
we endorse every word of the follow-
ing from the Connellsville Courier:
“The striking miners contemplate
carrying their fight into politics. The
plan is for influential union leaders to
become candidates for State Senate
and the Legislature. It is not desired
to form a separate organization, but to
secure nominations from the dominant
political parties, and if elected to fight
the battles for better working con-
ditions in the Legislature.
There can be no objection to this
plan. It is peaceful and constitutional
and altogether commendable. In fact,
so long as the union miners fight their
battles within the letter and the spirit
of the law, they will have the sympathy
and respect of the people, and oftimes
their moral and material support.
Disorder and defiance of law too of-
ten takes the place of peaceful and or-
derly plans, and the doom of defeat is
invariably upon strikes managed after
these methods. The American people
will not endorse anything that savors
of revolution and anarchy. No provo-
cation is great enough in their eyes to
justify such means. But they fre-
quently applaud and assist by their
ballots all efforts to right wrong by the
peaceful and orderly method of rem-
edial legislation.
By all means let the union labor
leaders enter politics ; and, if possible,
secure places in the Legislature, and
there improve by legislation the work-
ingmen’s conditions. Inthe meantime,
let them show their respect for the
law by observing it strictly, unswerv-
ingly and loyally, bearing always in
mind the fact that the man who does
not respect the law is an unfit person
to make it.”
POSTMASTER ROBBED.
G. W. Fouts, Postmaster at Riverton,
Ia., nearly lost his life and was robbed
of ali comfort, according to his letter,
which says: “For 20 years I had
chronic liver complaint, which led to
such a severe case of jaundice that
even my finger nails turned yellow;
when my doctor prescribed Electric
Bitters ; which cured me and have kept
me well for eleven years.” Sure cure
