Republican Standing Committee Pre
paring for Spring Elections.
A NEW PRIMARY SYSTEM.
The Crawford County Hules Have Bern
Adopted and They Will Be Enforced
at tlie Coming .Primaries.
Ax tln-ri' sjem to be a disposition on the
part of the Republicans ot town to mako
nneiirly beginning for the spring elections
the Stnndliig Committee of the parly met
hut night to arrange their part ot the
preliminaries and provide for, the enforce
ment ot the Crawford county system of
primaries, as requested by the voters at
tue Citizens' primaries last spring.
This year's Standing Committee is com
posed ot Adam More, Flint ward; W. J.
Wutklns, Second wnrdj A. 1J. Lamb,
Third ward; Thomas Hutts, Fourth ward,
and John L. Hnssler, Fifth ward. Messrs.
Wntklus and Hasslerare new members,
the former being elected by the com
mittee to fill II. C. Boyer's place during
his illness and Mr. Hnssler was elected to
succeed Jeremiah Itoxby, who -recently
moved from town.
The changes lu membership required n
re-orgaulzatlou of the committee and it
was accomplished by the election of W.
J. Watkins as chairman; A. 13. Ltmb,
secretary, and John L. Hastier, treasurer.
After some discussion as to the merits
of the Crawford county system and the
cost ot printtng material to lutroduce It,
the figures for the latter being nomiual,
the committee decided to adopt the re
quests made at last spring's primaries nnd
the primaries of this year will be hel.luu
der the new system.
Among the rules adopted for the y
tern are the following: The committee
will furnish all blanks anil ballots for
use at the primaries and defray the cost
of printing from the assessments made
upon people announcing themselves as
candidates. A candidate for High Con
stablo will be assessed $1.50; for Borough
Auditor, $1; all candidates f or. ward office
50 cents each. The assessments must be
paid before the committee will place the
names of candidates on the primary
tlckots. The name of each candidate
must be placed with the committee at
least three days before the date llxed for
holding the primary.
As there will be no election for Chief
Burgess or Receiver of Taxes this year
no assessments were llxed for these olllces.
No time was fixed for holding the prima
ries. This will be considered when the
committee meets again, on January 15th
It is believed that the new system for
holding the primaries will give better
satisfaction in all quarters. It will give
the voters of the respective wards u chance
to learu who the candidates are before
the primaries are held and no "snap"
tickets can be sprung on a primary. The
names of all candidates in the
respective wards will be placed on
one printed ticket, the name of each
voter will be recorded and a tally sheet
showing the result will be posted at each
polling place. By the recording of voters
it is hoped to deter Democrats from tak
lng au active part in both the Republican
and Democratic primaries In one year.
The new system will also do away with
the uncertainties attending the conven
tions held by conferees and hereafter
the people will voto direct for their
candidates for the borough offices.
The candidates for these offices receiving
the majority of the votes cast at the pri
maries of the five wards will be declared
the nominees of the party. The candidates
will And good features in the system by
having their names placed properly be
fore the people at a nomiual cost ami be
ing exempt from the "striking" and "bell
ing" system which has often been in
dulged in by conferees.

Mr. Edwards a Candidate.
EDITolt HEltALD; I notice that a warm
contest has already been precipitated in
the Third ward for the Republican noml
nation for School Director. It Is gratify
lug to sea 'the Republicans of the ward
take n u early Interest in the approaching
election, but why there should be a spirit
of coiuesttfor that particular office I am
ut loss to understand. There has been In
the Held for several weeks a gentleman of
undoubted intelligence, integrity .and
ability. That gentleman is Mr. T. R.
Edwards. As one of the citizens ot that
ward I was Instrumental lu inducing Mr.
Edwurds to become a candidate and that
step was taken after it had been under
stood from Mr. R. A. Davenport, whose
term Is expiring, that he would not be a
candidate for re-election and that he
would lend his influence to Mr. Edwards.
The latter gentleman I know was op
posed to becoming a candidate and that
he is one is not due to any voluntary
action on his part. In view ot these cir
cumstances l cannot refrain Iroux ex
pressing surprise nt finding that Mr.
Davenport is now making an active can
vass for a re-nomination.

Scanlan In Luck.
Tax Collector Scaulan made a double
collectlonof taxes yesterday by apeculiar
combination of circumstances. Joseph
Goblinskl and his family were nt the
Lehigh Valley depot ready to take a trln
for New York. Goblinskl had seut his
brother to Mahiuoy City via the
electric railway with Instructions to
meet the train. Scanlan happened to
come along and asked Joe for his tax
receipt. One for 1S93 was shown, but
Scanlan wanted to bee one for 1S!1I
Goblin.ki didn't have it, but he very
cheerfully paid the taxes and then beard
ed tae train with his family. Simultane
ous with this Scanlan received a message
that a Polish fellow from Shenandoah
was waiting nt Mahanoy City. Scanlan
also boarded the train. Arriving nt the
neighboring town th? collector alighted
and accosted a Pole who was about
leaving. Joe Goblinskl shouted through
a car winilow, "Dats my brudder.'
Scanlan demanded taxes and Joe again
said, "Yes, p'ay him taxes ; he's nil right.'
The amount was paid by the brother, who
hurriedly took his chango nnd jumped on
the train before the receipt could be given
him. Scanlan says he never strnck better
luck since he has been tax collector.
