Today the Anti-Saloon League com- mittee met at the Rockwood House, in Rockwood, to select two men from the ranks of the Republican candidates for Assembly, on which to center the strength of the league at the coming primary election, to be held April 11th. Letters had been sent out by the committee to all of the eight Republi- can candidates, asking them if they would pledge themselves to support local option legislation, if nominated and elected. The candidates were also asked whether they would submit their candidacy to the committee, and agree Herbert Spencer, the eminent philoso- pher; Prof. A. R. Wallace, the great English scientist; W.

A For RECORDER oF DEEDS, said candidate has demonstrated that he is a practical political economist, and he has evidently concealed noth- ing. The Connellsville Courier says: “While he engaged disseminators of in- formation, he is careful to itemize just what the dissemination consisted of, thereby disarming criticiem ; and while he confesses to the use of beer and to- bacco, it is evident that he bought them in great moderation, thus making a pretty fair straddle of the liquor issue.” bert intends to withdraw or not. for us, our staunchest friends are strongly urging us to remain in the race, and it is our purpose to do so.
