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

he accepted the proposition. That was
all. 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,

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.
FAMOUS STRIKE BREAKERS.
The most famous strike breakers in
the land are Dr. King’s New Life Pills.
When liver and bowels go on strike,
they quickly settle the trouble, and the
purifying work goes right on. Best
cure for constipation, headache and

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.
Nothing is more certain to benefit
your complexion than a 25 cent box of
Laxakola tablets. They freshen the
skin, give color to the cheeks, cure
constipation, and give you a clear, rosy,
healthful complexion. E, H. Miller.

EMERY AND BRYAN.
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,
