ELK LICK POSTOFFICE. PA.. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1906. NO. 42. Harvey Hay may be a whole-souled, good-natured fellow in a general way, as the saying goes, but you should have better reasons than that to give a man your vote, and in Harvey’s case there are no other reasons. Vote to regain your own rights, which you are deprived of as long as the compulsory vaccination law is on our statute books, where it will remain for all time if such men as Harvey Hay and his brother- in-law, Dr. Lichty, have their way about it. Tur immaculate “reform” candidates continue to travel about the state. But, according to latest reports, Berry has been borrowing public money for “|'private use; Emery has been taking refates from the railroads which he is denouncing, and Black collected a fee of about $20,000 from York county for recovering $72,000 that a Democratic official had stolen. Only the amiable Creasy has gone through the campaign thus far with a clean bill of health.— Altoona Tribune. WaILE State Treasurer Berry is trav- eling over the state attacking the State administration, of which he is a part, his department on Capitol Hill is com- monly reported to be limping along with the aid and assistance of the more competent Republican clerks in other departments. These are frequently called upon to help the Treasury force out of their troubles, although Mr. Berry would have the people believe that never before was the department of which he is the head so efficiently managed. —Harrisburg Telegraph. Ir Harvey Hay could cast 1000 votes, and 1000 of the best and cleanest Re- publicans in Somerset county were candidates for the Legislature, against 1000 of the meanest and most worth- less Democrats, not one of the Repub- licans would get a vote from Harvey Hay. No Republican of the correct kind will vote for that kind of a Demo- erat, Harvey is one of the kind of Democrats that will take all the Re- publican favors he can get and give none in return. He is pretty near a port a single one of the easy Republi- cans that will support him. Tre miners who waged a strike in this region lasting sixteen long months can now see what kind of friend the Meyersdale Commercial was to them. All through the strike the Commercial denounced Judge Kooser for issuing injunctions at the request of Corpora- tion Attorney W. H. Koontz, decrying such action as tyranny and oppression of the highest order. Now the same Commercial has the impudence and gall to ask the miners to vote for the same Wm. H. Koontz and the Demo- cratic free trade son of the same Francis Injunction Kooser. Such miners’ friends as the Commercial can be picked up anywhere, but they are never worth having, Nerraer Hay, Saylor nor Koontz would place themselves on record in the public prints against compulsory vaccination. yet all of them have been invited te do so, in order that parents demanding their rights could know who their friends are. Well, by the re- fusal of Hay, Saylor and Koontz, all parents who oppose this hateful and damnable compulsory vaccination law should be able to see that their only salvation is in voting for Endsley, Knepper and Miller. Down with the fakirs and dodgers who would give the State power to prescribe a medical creed for its citizens and compel them to obey it. That is tyranny most out- rageous, and no true man will stand for it. Tue Somerset Herald says that “General” Koontz cannot be bribed. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company did not bribe him for absenting him- self from the legislative session in 1901 to fight the case of J. C. Begley against the P. R. R.Co. No indeed, they just merely compensated his for doing it, and a | VOL. XIT. § © now in Call and see our fine new stock. {§ 8 Lick Supply oF OF SALISBURY. i : = Capital paid in, $560,000.

Matter of vital importance was before the Assembly at that time, viz., the division of the Somerset-Bedford judicial district. Instead of staying at Harrisburg, where he was paid for be- ing, Koontz came to Somerset and re- mained all week, allowing the interests of Somerset and Bedford counties to go to the dogs,so far as he was con- cerned. That wasn’t bribery, was it, Bob? Oh, no! HONESTLY now, can any sane man reasonably expect General Koontz to support a measure for a uniform rail- way passenger rate of 2 cents per mile, if elected to the State Senate, or to fa- vor a law giving trolley roads the right to carry freight and express, being a railroad attorney as well as a director and stockholder of the B. & O.? In Rebel Democrat, and he wouldn't sup- | other words, could you expect General Koontz to vote against his own finan- cial interests? Would he do it? No, not on your life, and he has not and will not promise to do so. Dr. Wm. C. Miller is neither a corporationattorney nor a railway stockholder, and he is pledged to the reforms the people are demanding—the reforms that General Koontz would not dare to support. The voter’s duty is plain. Vote for Miller and the whole Republican ticket. THE North American now offers to duplicate the metal furniture in the new State Capitol for $1,000,000, for which the state paid $2,000,000. The North American is perfectly safe in making that kind of a bluff, knowing that the state has no need for and will not purchase a duplicate set of metal furniture. When bids for the furniture and other Capitol contracts were ad- vertised for in the Philadelphia, Har- risburg, Pittsburg and other newspa- pers, the North American had an op- portunity to bid and secure the con- tract. Why did it not do so and save the state the vast sums of money it claims has been squandered. The North American is now making a cheap bid for votes, and is using mere bun- combe to get them for a set of fake re- formers. A YEAR OF BLOOD. The year of 1903 will long be remem- bered in the home of F. N. Tacket, of Alliance, Ky., as a year of blood ; which flowed so copiously from Mr. Tacket’s lungs that death seemed very near. He writes: “Severe bleeding from the lungs and a frightful cough had brought me at death’s door, when I began tak- ing Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con- sumption, with the astonishing result that after taking four bottles I was completely restored, and as time has proven, permanently cured.” Guaran- teed for Sore Lungs, Coughs and Colds, at E. H. Miller’s drug store. Price 50c. and $1.00. Trial bottle free. 12-1 SENATOR MILLER. He Declares Against Compulsory © Vaceination. Dr. Wm. C. Miller, our State Senator, who is a candidate for re-election, has authorized THE STAR to state that he is opposed to compulsory vaccination, and if re-elected will use his influence for the repeal of our present odious vac- cination law. Dr. Miller says it isn’t long ago that he removed from the arm of a Bedford county patient a cancerous tumor as large as an egg, which formed on the spot where she had been vaccinated, and which was the direct outgrowth of the vaccination. Mr. Voter, your duty is plain. Vote for Miller, Endsley and Knepper, the Republican candidates for the Senate and lower house of Representatives. They are all pledged for the repeal of compulsory vaccination, while their opponents, Koontz, Saylor and Hay all dodge the issue and refuse to come out on the side of common sense and ths people on this important question. They that are not for the people in this matter, but are for medical graft and the blood-poisoning of the innocents. Down with such shysters as Koontz, Saylor and Hay! THAT STATE CAPITOL JOB. The hue and cry raised by politicians (other than Republicans) throughout the state about the cost of the new Capitol and its furnishings is intended to throw dust in the eyes of voters, Evidence is forthcoming every day in- dicating that all the work done on the Capitol and all the “furnishment” the apposition cries about so loudly was done and furnished in the regular way all such work is undertaken—under the law. It was all contract work for which proposals were advertised in the daily newspapers and the bids were taken on specifications. All these bids and specifications are on file at Har- risburg ; they are public property and can be seen. In fact,the Governor has asked representative people to come to Harrisburg and examine all the papers. Nothing seems to have been hidden, and if an investigation is made the ma- terial is at hand for the inspection of the committee. The Attorney-General of the state is the man to inyestigate the matter if it be necessary, and the Republican party will welcome an ex- amination into the whole matter.—Me- Keesport Times.

Miller's drug store. 12-1 GOOD OFFICIAL RECORD. That’s What J. W. Endsley Has to His Credit, Even According to the North American. The Democratic State committee re- cently attacked the official record of Hon. J. W. Endsley, through its yel- low journals in Somerset county, and as is usually the case with attacks com- ing from Democratic and Fusion soure- es, Mr. Endsley’s defamers resorted to all manner of untruth and misrepre- sentation. Among other things in the attack against Mr. Endsley’s official record, it is alleged that he voted against a cer- tain pet resolution offered by Mr. Creasy at the Monday evening session of the Legislature on Jan. 30th, 1905. The fact is that Mr. Endsley was not present at the aforesaid session, having missed train connections at Johnstown, owing to the late arrival of the train on the 8. & C. branch, on which Mr. Ends- ley was a passenger on his way to Har- risburg. Creasy’s resolution was a trivial matter, anyway, and was only an attempt to steal Republican ideas and gain some applause that he was not entitled to. NORTH AMERICAN’S SIZE-UP. The Philadelphia North American is the acknowledged leader of the Fusion newspapers, ag well as the most influ- ential of them, and at the close of the last regular session of the Legislature: it had much to say concerning the good records of some of the members, and the bad records of others. The North American printed a picture of J. W. Endsley and twenty-one other Repub- lican members who had made good records, in its issue of Sunday, April 26th, 1905, and made the following com- ment concerning them: “These twenty-two Republican mem- bers of the House of Representatives were foremost in opposing bad legisla- tion, much of which was defeated by the country members. They stood out against the Puhl and Ehrhardt vice- protecting bills, went on record in favor of allowing trolley roads to carry freight, and voted against the George T. Oliver bill, which the Gang backed, to further limit the freedom of the press. A large proportion of the other Republican country legislators and the fifteen Democrats in the House were with them at times, varying their sup- port on different bills. Not one of the above twenty-two can be accused of doing anything against the interests of the Republican party. In fact, they showed much more genuine Republi- canism than the Gang whose steals and evil schemes they blocked.” Now then, what’s the matter with Endsley, when such fine compliments are passed concerning his record by the very foremost of the Fusion news- papers? Endsley is all right, and in this issue of TT STAR he authorizes us to reiterate the pledges he made to the voters at last spring’s Republican pri- mary, viz: A uniform 2c. passenger fare on all steam railroads in this state. Repeal of the compulsory vaccination law. Trolley roads to have the right to carry freight and express. Mr. Endsley also renews to our bor- ough high school his offer of a free, but very elaborate and valuable collection from the Commercial Museum of Phil- adelphia. The collection is the same as that in- stalled in all the other high schools of Somerset county, and is worth at least a thousand dollars to any school. But doubtless owing to political reasons, the school board of this borough has so far denied the benefit of this free and valuable collection to our schools, not- withstanding the fact that Mr. Endsley offered the collection not less than three times during the last three years. It is a shame that our high school must be kept in the lowest ranks of the high schools of Somerset county, for no other apparent reason than that about two or three of the directors want to play politics instead of doing the best they can for the schools. Card of Thanks. I take this means of returning thanks to the kind and generous persons em- ployed at the Meager mine for the sub- stantial financial aid rendered me and my fatherless children since the death of my beloved husband. I am most grateful and thankful for the liberal aid, and may a kind Providence reward you one and all for your kindness and generosity. Mgrs. J. PRYNN. FIRST AID TO BEAUTY.

Every time lewis Emery, Jr., ad- dresses an audience in the state of Pennsylvania he prefaces his remarks with the statement that he is and al- ways has been a Republican, and that he is an ardent admirer and supporter of Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Emery is a candidate on the Lincoln and Demo- cratic party tickets. There is a wide discrepancy between being a supporter of Roosevelt and a candidate on the Democratic ticket if the alleged supporter of Roosevelt pro- claims himself to be standing on the platform adopted by the Democratie State convention. In this Democratic State platform there is a clause which reads: We congratulate the country on the fact that the special prominence which the Republican administration has attained has been achieved by the “feeble and pretended application of the principles enunciated by Mr. William Jennings Bryan, the great Democratic common- er, who is now regarded as the certain successor of Theodore Roosevelt to the Presidency.” Does Mr. Emery stand on the Demo- cratic platform? Is he a professing friend of Roosevelt and yet willing te see him rebuked? The answer is clear- ly found in his speech to an audience at Schuylkill Haven, Schuylkill county, delivered on October 17th. Mr. Emery plainly showed that he was not a friend of Theodore Roosevelt, and that he cared nothing for the Roosevelt doc- trines or Mr. Roosevelt’s party. Here is what he said: “I am here to-day as your candidate on a platform of right. The Lincoln Party platform is right. The Democratic platform is right. There 18 no discrepancy between the platforms, and we are standing on them both.” It 'is therefore established on Mr, Emery’s own statement that he regards the admirable work completed by Theo- dore Roosevelt to be merely “a feeble and pretended applfcation of the prin- ciples enunciated by William Jennings Bryan.” : Mr. Emery declares himself to be & Lincoln Republican. Over in the State of New York a man named William R. Hearst is running for Governor against the Republican candidate. Hearst alse says he is a Lincoln Republican. In a recent speech the high priest of yellow journalism, demagoguery and class agi- tation said: “I am a Jeffersonian Democrat, and a Jeffersonian Democrat is the same thing as a Lincoln Repub- lican ; therefore, I am a Lincoln Re- publican.” What a remarkable similarity in men, methods, aims and deceit. Both claim to be Lincoln Republicans. Botk seek to appeal to the people by declar- ing they are not enemies of Theodore Roosevelt, and yet the election of both of them means a justification of the Democratic statement that Mr. Roose- velt’s masterful battle for better laws and a more equitable adjustment of public affairs is merely “a feeble and pretended application of the principles enunciated by William Jennings Bry- an.” P. 8. And the so-called Generel Koontz is a fakir of the same class as Emery and Hearst. EMERY, GORDON & CO. On November 6th the workingmen of Pennsylvania will be called upon te vote for a man to succeed the Hon. Samuel W. Pennypacker as Governor of the state. It is absolutely necessary in this connection that most careful consideration be given to the preten- sions of the Fusion candidate, Lewis Emery, Jr., by the workingmen of the state, inasmuch as he is masquerading as labor’s friend, while being its most bitter enemy. We can only judge men by their acts, and the public acts of this gentleman all tend toward rivet- ing the chains more firmly arouud the limbs of those who toil. * * * Mr Emery’s nomination was brought about through the influence of ex-Judge Gor- don, who, while on the bench, was anti- labor to an extent that caused union men to look upon him with horror. while recognizing him as a tool of the corporations. Emery is Gordon’s man.” * * x Tor about ten years Mr. Emery was a member of the Legisla- ture of Pennsylvania, during which time many bills were introduced in the interest of the men, women and chil- dren who toil ; and they had either his direct opposition or he practised the methods of the artful dodger and avoid- ed putting himself on record. * * = When Gorden, Emery & Company fail- ed to enthuse the voters and induce them to rally around the: fusion ticket in a manner that portrayed success. they adopted the scheme of falsifying and throwing mud at their opponents. by attacking tha expenditures and con- tracts made for the construction of the new State Capitol. It is on this issue —the only one left—that the fusionists hope to place Gordon’s man, Emery, in the office of Governor.—Knights of La- bor Journal,
