LOYAL WINDBER.
A LOYAL REPUBLICAN TOWN
AND IT§ LOYAL REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE.
Why the People of the Big
Goal Town in the Norm Are
for 6. J. Duncan for Assem-
bly. Read and Reflect.
I Next Saturday the Re-
publicans of Somerset
county will go to their
respective polling places
and place men in nomi-
nation for the various
|
|
; | offices to be voted for at
the election next fall.
Four good men are trying to be nominated for Assembly, but as this county
is entitled to only two members in the House, only two can be nominated, and
the people of Windber think that their only candidate, Mr. C. J. Duncan, should
be one of them, for the following reasons:
Windber is the largest town in the county, although it is only about nine
years old. With its teeming thousands of busy workmen; its large number of
hustling business men; its many heavy tax-payers ; and above all, its enormous-
ly large and loyal Republican vote, it is indeed strange that the big coal town
has not put in the field a larger number of condidates. But Windber is modest,
having but one candidate in the field.
Surely Windber is entitled to recognition, and as the big coal town has but
one candidate, it is but just to say that the town’s one candidate is entitled to
nomination.
Mr. Duncan is a Republican of the old school, one of the kind thai never
bolt. He has been an active party worker ever since he is a voter, always ad-
voecating fair play and the best interests of the Republican party. But he has
never asked for office until now. True, ke is now a member of the Windber
Town Council, an office without a salary, but that honor came unsolicited, and
as president of the Windber Borough Council, Mr. Duncan is serving his fellow
townsmen with signal ability and credic to himself and to the town.
Mr. Duncan is a man of independent spirit, a good talker and a man of
splendid business capacity. If sent to the Pealintion he will be an able repre-
sentative. and there is no doubt that he will do all in his power for the best in-
terests of this county, and the commonwealth. He is a warm friend of the toil-
ing masses and the common people in general, and surely he has a strong claim
on the Republican voters of Somerset county, as has also the town in which he
resides.
Windber has very sensibly stood aloof from factional quarrels within the
Republican party, and her loyalty has on several occasions stood the good old
party well in hand when at general elections there was danger of defeat.
In his personality Mr. Duncan is one of those warm-hearted, open-handed
men that make friends wherever they go, and when you cast your ballot, next
Saturday. as loyal Republicans you should keep in mind the loyalty of Windber
and her only candidate, Mr. C. J. Duncan. A vote cast for him will be a vote
that you will never have cause to regret. :

RELIEF IS POSSIBLE.
It is possible to obtain relief from
chronic indigestion and dyspepsia by
FORTUNATE MISSOURIANS.
“When I was a druggist, at Livonia,
Mo., writes T. J. Dwyer, now of Grays-
ville, Mo., “three of my customers were
permanently cured of consumption by
Dr. King’s New Discovery. and are well
and strong today. One was trying to
sell his property and move to Arizona,
but after using New Discovery a short
time he found it unnecessary to do so.

the most wonderful medicine in_exist-
ence.” Surest Cough and Cold cure

Some of the most hopeless cases of long

you to digest the food you eat and ex-

SoMERSET county has had only four
judges that hail from the good old hills
of Somerset. Two of them were uncles
of *Our-family-in-Congress—forever
Ogle,” one his father-in-law and the
other his brother-in-law. Don’t you
think this family has been sufficiently
honored ?—Berlin Record.
THE coming September term of court
will likely be held in the new court
house. Carry the news to “Timmie”
and “Bobbie,” and just watch them
shed crocodile tears for the oid court
house that for years handed out to the
Scull family the great political steal-
ings that made the Sculls rich.
ArrorNey Ernest O. Kooser, of Som-
erset, son of Judge Francis J. Kooser,
of the Somerset County bench, ie prom-
inently mentioned as a candidate on
the Democratic ticket for Congress
from the Twenty-third District. Judge
Kooser is a Republican, and his son a
strong Democrat.—Connellsville News.
A
Om, no, fellow citizens, a man who
votes for Democrats. Socialists, Prohi-
bitionists and Mugwumps at the gen-
eral election in the fall, can’t vote at
the Republican primariesin the spring.
The rules won’t permit it, and com-
mitteemen who regard their oaths just
ean’t allow it. Republican primaries
are for Republicans only.
Wuar has become of. “Timmie”
Scull’s “Linkum” Club? Perhaps Ed-
wie Werner's court house anaconda
has swallowed it. Koonz & Ogle,
“Timmie,” “Edwie” and his anaconda
all occupy the same bed, these days,
and “Danny” Horner is strongly sus-
pected of sleeping in a trundle-bed
near by. Strange bed-fellows, indeed.
Ix speaking of the candidacy of J.
W. Thompson for Governor, which we
also favor, the Somerset Herald makes
much capital out of the fact that Mr.
Thompson is interested in the Wabash
and the having of it built through Som-
erset county, but it fails to state that
J. G. Ogle, the Sculls’ choice for Con-
gress, and his law partner, Wm. H.
Koontz, represent the B. & O. in this
county and are working to keep the
Wabash out. But then, that’s the
Scull gang consistency, and it is to be
expected.—Berlin Record.
Jorn G. OgLk stated in THE STAR of-
fice, last week, that he had Clinton C.
Wagner “fired” from the office of
Koontz & Ogle, whose stenographer he
was, for coming out on the Orphans’
and Citizens’ Union tickets for Pro-
thonotary, last fall, after being defeat-
ed at the Republican primary in the
spring. Yet John G. Ogle is going
about begging for the votes of the peo-
ple that supported Wagner on the
mongrel ticket. Wouldn't such con-
sistency jar you? The better any man
becomes acquainted with John G. Ogle,
the less stock he will take in the little,
cold. clammy swellhead.
Tur claims of Windber’s candidate
for Assembly are strongly set forth in
an advertisement on this page. How-
ever, Mr. Duncan does not state what
his platform is. Messrs. Knepper and
Endsley have openly declared them-
selves for a 2-cent-per-mile railroad
passenger rate, also a law that will
give trolley roads the right to carry
freight and express, and the repeal of
the compulsary vaccination law. In
short Knepper and Endsley are for the
reforms the people and the State Super-
intendent of Public Instruction are
clamoring for, and we believe they will
both be nominated and elecied.
IN mentioning the various candidates
to be voted for at the Republican pri-
mary election to be held May 26th, the
non-partisan Windber Era has the fol-
lowing to say concerning Hon. J. W.
Endsley: “Among the candidates com-
ing before the voters of Somerset coun-
ty for endorsement, there is perhaps
none more worthy than Hon. J. W.
Endsley. Mr. Endsley is well known
to many of his constituents, and has
gerved faithfully the trust imposed
upon him in the last Legislature—Al-
ways conscious of the high trust of the
office, he has striven to do his duty, and
he is therefore popular for the stand he
has taken in the past on matters that
concern the common people.
ee
CanpIDATES for the Legislature will
be pledged over the entire state to re-
peal the vaccination law, as it affects
the public schools of the state. Vac-
cination may be all right in its proper
enforcement—if it can be properly en-
forced ; but it is a cowardly indefen-
‘sible policy to deprive a child of the
privilege of a public education because
its parents refuse to have it vaccinated
on account of natural parental solici-
tude for its well being. Medical rec-
ords teem with the innocent little vie-
tims of bungling vaccination, which is
sufficient cause for parental solicitude
and parental objection to such a deadly
prophylactic treatment as is vaccina-
tion. Down and out with the vaccina-
tion cranks.—Rockwood Leader.
It was the late Colonel Edward Scull
who said of his nephew, John G. Ogle,
that he was the degenerated son of an
illustrious sire. That saying, because
of its great truth, made Colonel Ed-
ward Scull famous over all Somerset
county. The only thing little “Johnny”
has to run on is his ancestry, and while
prominent ancestry is a good thing to
have, a candidate ought to have some
redeeming features of his own, all of
which John G. Ogle has not. He wants
to get there by clinging to the judicial
ermine of his brother-in-law, Judge
Kooser, and by the shades of his de-
parted relatives. But Kooser and the
shades of the departed will avail him
nothing. Kooser came near going down
to defeat himself, and the people who
helped him into a high-salaried job
feel that they have done about enough
for the blue-blooded aristocracy of
which Mr. Ogle boasts so much. Al-
though this paper supported Judge
Kooser, it ix not over-proud of the facet,
and we draw the line at supportiog
Ogle, the brother-in-law of Kooser.
ABour all the Somerset Herald ean
do during this campaign is to resume
its tirade of abuse against J. A. Berkey.
but like water on a duck’s back. it just
rolls off and doesn’t hurt anybody. Be~
sides, J. A. Berkey is not a candidate
in this campaign, but if he were, he
would “get there” more easily with the
Herald’s condemnation than with its
praise. J. A. Berkey rose from the
ranks of the common people. and by
his own efforts has already risen higher
than the editors of the Herald, who
were born and reared in luxury, can
ever hope to rise, for they lack the
Berkey ability, honor and comma
sense. J. A. Berkey is most liked aad
respected by those who know him best.
except by a few who are envious eof
him, and by a few others who have
reaped and are still trying to reap the
reward of his untiring political aad
personal labors. No man in Somerset
county has done more for his political
friends than J. A. Berkey, and no mam
has been more shamefully treated than
he has been treated by some who
reached the goal of their political am-
bitions only through and by his gal-
lant and able leadership. But Berkey
will take care of himself in spite of fit-
tle “Jack” Ogle and a few other ia-
grates that have been trying all mao-
ner of dastardly schemes to ruin him
both politically and .personsally. The
world admires an honest and manly
fighter, and that’s what Berkey is,
every inch of him.
QUITE A DIFFERENCE.
‘Mr. Voter, Draw Your Own Coneclu-
sion in this Case.
Hon. E. D. Miller has made a clean
and honorable canvass for Congress in
this campaign, while his opponent has
done nothing but make wry faces, per-
vert the truth. indulge in personalities
and try to deceive voters.
MILLER’S PLATFORM.
Furthermore, Mr. Miller is runni
on a very desirable and substantial
plat form—a platform calculated to bea-
efit the common people. Here is what
he says:
“I shall seek your endorsement and
the district nomination by every hon-
orable means, and if elected, shall
stand for a ‘square deal for every
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
# 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.”
OGLE’S PLATEORM.
Mr. Ogle remains silent as to what
he will do if elected. He promises noth-
ing to the old soldiers, because he con-
sideres the old soldier beneath his dig-
nity. He is a cold, clammy aristocrat,
you know.
He is not in favor of a uniform pas-
senger fare of 2 cents per mile, because
he is a minion of the B. & O. railroad,
one of its attorneys, and he “dassen’t”
go contrary to the wishes of the B. &
O. He and his law partner, W. H.
Koontz, are also hired to do all in their
power to keep the Wabash railroad out
of Somerset county.
Neither is Mr. Ogle promising to do
anything to restrict foreign immigra-
tion. He is a corporation attorney,
you know, and he ‘“dassen’t” do any-
thing against the kind of people that
the corporations need to keep wages
down.
Mr. Ogle is simply running on his
family pride, and because he alleges
that some one promised him the office,
also because his father and grand-
father, were in Congress, his father-io-
law and brother-in-law on the Judge's
bench, ete., ete.
He meows, frets, scolds, fusses and
tumes, makes ugly faces at Miller, and
generally speaking, makes a blamed
fool of himself. But maybe he can’t
help it, for his uncle, the late Colonel
Edward Scull, declared him a degener-
ate son of an illustrious sire.
Mr. Voter, take your choice, but don’t
forget that John G. Ogle will never go
to Congress, for there are not fools
enough in Somerset county to nomi-
nate him.
A CANDIDATE CHALLENGED.
Ogle’s Bluff Called—What Lie Will
He Spring Next?
SoMERSET COUNTY, S88 :—
E. D. Miller being qualified accord-
ing to law says the statement made re-
peatedly by his opponent that he, E. D.
Miller, is a candidate for Congress in
the interest of Allen F. Cooper, of
Fayette county, is an untruth. Affiant
says he is a candidate in his own in-
terest, and has no arrangement with
Mr. Cooper or any other person, either
directly or indirectly, to give the nom-
ination to Mr. Cooper or any other per-
son should affiant be successful in se-
curing the endorsement for Congress
in Somerset county. Affiant challenges
Mr. Ogle to make affidavit to the alle-
gations he has made. KE. D. MILLER.
