For Lieutenant Governor JOHN M. REYNOLDS. Secretary of Internal Affairs HENRY HOUCK. State Treasurer CHAS. P. WRIGHT. For Congress, C. C. PRATT. For State Senator, WINFRED D. LEWIS. COUNTY. Representative, H. G. JACKSON. If we could get everything wo want by praying for It, nobody would want to work. It is always the political party that Is out of office that views things with alarm. Two men go through the same door one to success, the other to defeat. What had the door to do with It? The people of Germany are finding fault with the horse meat the United States are shipping them. Do they suppose we aro going to send them the young and tender colts? ClIAULKH C. PRATT. C. C. Pratt has served half a term In Congress. His olllcinl record shows Hint on every bill effecting the interests of tho people of his dis trict, he was present nnd his vote stands out as being cast for tho best Interests of his people. He stood for tho paBsngo or every tnensuro that would benefit the work- liiRninn. On tho class schedulo ho was Insistent on having the cut glnss and glass blowing Interests protected from tho cheap wnro nnd cheap lab or of Europe. On agricultural mat tors, being on tho Committee on Ag riculture, ho was "Johnny on tho spot, working tooth and nail to see that the farmer and dairyman ana nil their interests had a fair squaro deal. For tho old veterans ho did moro in his half term than Kipp did In a full term. Ho Introduced nnd hnd passed 15 special pension bills. Prntt has measured up to tho high standard of a faithful Congressman. His private life Is above reproach. His business life Is as "clean as a hound's tooth," not a syllable has been uttered against him. A mnn or excellent habits, morally clean, and In busi ness, square as a die. As a citizen he has been foremost In every public work that called for tlmo or money. He has never shirked any duty or any tax placed upon him; he pays on every dollar he has at Interest which is $40,000, and evory obligation of civic life has been squarely met. In social life he Is genial and com panionable, although ho has never drank liquor, or used tobacco, yet to meet him Is to like him, and It mat ters not whether a man is a ditch SICOR(2E W. KIPP. George W. Klpp, who Is tho candi date on the Democratic ticket for Congress and has managed to get on tho Keystone ticket, although ho lias nono of tho qualifications tliat tho Koystonors claim is necessary. Klpp was Congressman one term nnd was absent 147 times nnd nlwnys when he was needed by tho peoplo of his district to protect their Interests. Ho shirked every tlmo when needed. As n commissioner of Wayne county in 1S83, ho was a party to exhausting tho county treasury to such an ex tent that his own party leaders held a mnss meeting to call a halt on the lavish squandering of county money. Tho result of this meeting wns $1, 000 was returned to tho county treas urer by legal process, and what was lost to the county could only be esti mated. Klpp has been a success as a business man in making money. He is worth at least ? 1,000,000, but a recent examination of tho records of Bradford county show that he has never paid one cent of taxation only on his occupation, one cow and one horse. On his millions Invested In bonds, stocks and money nt Inter est, he has dodged the taxes for years, and yet he asks us to voto for him to represent us In Congress. digger or a bank president, to Char ley Pratt ho Is a fellow man, and the same glad hand of fellowship Is ex tended not only before election, but after and always. Droad-mlndcd, big hearted, C. C. Pratt is a man al ways, everywhero, and to everyone, and a voto for him. is a voto you will never cause to regret. In tho approaching political cam palgn, there is going to be an oppor tunity for a good many people to lose their heads, and possibly do a great deal of injustice to some people, and Injury to the country. Study your men; don't lose your head. Edwin S. Stuart was vllllfled by tho same papers and men who aro now vllllfy ing John K. Tener. Four years from now they will turn their batteries of mud upon the man whom the Re publican party will nominate. Wash ington, Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and every Republicari who has been a standard bearer has "had to pass through the same ordeal. Why aro tho Democratic papers silent as to tho character of their candidates? The Democratic papers of Monroe hardly mention Harvey Huffman's name. What did Harvey do when counsel for the county com missioners? Old-fashioned Demo crats don't like a lawyer who will represent both sides of a case for his own greed. Why don't tho Her ald speak about George W. Kipp's valuablo services to Wayne county? Tho editor, Mr. Stocker, knows all about the indignation meeting call ed by the citizens of Wayne com pany to compell George and his as sociates to disgorge some of the ill gottened money that was squandered by Kipp and his associates. The editor of tho Herald was one of the men who signed the call for this in dignation meeting and helped to get back into the county treasury $1,000 of the plunder. "Klpp is tho same old Klpp." We aro surprised at the lack of enthusiasm of the Herald for their Representative. They are not very strenously supporting Mr. Fuerth this year of our Lord. WINFRED 1). LEWIS. Winfred D. Lewis is the Republi can candidate for State Sonator. The nomination came to him unsolicited. It was a case of the nomination seek ing the man and not the man seek ing tho nomination. He has never held office, although eminently fitted to All any office of trust or responsi bility. He Is a young man 31 years of age, began life as a breaker boy around the mines, received a good common school education; then earned money for a college course, working even ings to pay for his tuition, after Wards entered Dickinson law school, graduated with -high honors, built up a law practice in his native town and county and by straight-forward, man ly business methods has won the re spect and confidence of all who know him in every walk of life. He en tered this race for Senator wltlv re luctance but at the earnest solicita tion of his many friends In both par ties. He has started bis canvass and so warmly has his cause been ex poused by Democrats and Republi cans that It Is confidently expected he will be elected. His own county will give a rousing majority. Monroe county Democrats, disgusted at the antics' of Huffman, who Is thorough ly unreliable, are outspoken In their disapproval of Huffman's attempt to get on the Keystone, Prohibition and Socialist tickets and will either not vote for Senator or vote for Lewis. LEWIS VKRSUS HUFFMAN. HARVliY HUFFMAN. Harvey Huffman was nominated at the June primaries by a judicious use of boodle and lots of promise made to the Wayne county element. He extended tho glad hand to the saloon men here In Wayne county and was a "halo fellow well met" while going the rounds. In Monroe county whore he thought he had a cinch, he cajoled the Keystoners until he got their nomination, only to be thrown off the ticket when they got on to his curves. He then managed to sneak In on the Prohibition ticket and his name was sent in and nearly all of the Wayne county ballots were print ed with his name under the Prohibi tion circle. This was discovered and the Secretary of the Commonwdalth telegraphed Sheriff Braman to cut him off the Prohibition and put him on the Socialist ticket where ho be longs. There is a big cloud hov ering over Harvey's record in Monroe county and although It was no bigger than a man's hand a few weeks ago, it will be tornado size before election day. Harvey was counsel to the com missioners at one time and he was counsel for some other peoplo at the same time and, it is said, he mixed his advice up In such a way that Harvey didn't lose anything, but the county can t say they didn't. Mon roe Democrats are noted for their drawing the line on honesty in olll cial business. Lookout for a land slide in Monroe county. STUART'S INDORSEMENT OF TENER. For nearly four years Edwin S. Stuart has conducted tho affairs of Pennsylvania as Its chief executive. In tho campaign of 1000 ho wns tho Republican cnndldnto for Governor. Rarely has there been a political battlo such as that was. Mr. Stuart hnd led an llonorablo life, but that fact did not prevent tho vllllflers of Pennsylvania and tho llbolers of Philadelphia and tho agitators from nssnlllng him on tho stump. The peoplo woro told thnt if cMected tho state would go to tho dogs; that ho did not own himself; that ho wns the candidate of "bosses," and as such must bow to them. All sorts of evils woro prodlcted. Not only was ho tho target for tho coterie of political highwaymen In Philadelphia and for tho hypocrites in politics everywhero to flro at, but men entirely honest In their opin ions mistaken, but honest argued and voted ngnlnst him. Rudolph Blnnkenburg was one of those who stumped tho stato and did his best to defeat Stuart. William H. Berry was active In his denunciations. What happened? Tho majority of tho r)eop!o wcro not to bo fooled. They supported Stuart and he was elected. And thcro has followed an administration that has proved to bo a model. There Is, and can be no Just criticism of the Stuart ad ministration. On the contrary, it is admitted oven by his former fierce opponents that tho Republican admin istration of the afralrs of Pennsylva nia stands without a blemish. Today another Republican candi date, pledged to carry out the Stuart policies Is before the people, and once moro tho satno agitation Is heard throughout tho state. Tenor cannot own himself, they tell us, Just as they said of Stuart when the latter was tho candidate. Governor Stuart has won by splen did service the right to bo consider ed a straightforward and level-head ed man. Ho, knows Just what estl mate to placo upon the political frothlngs of men with an Itch to seize upon -the government of Penn sylvania. He knows how mistaken honest men may be. He Is in a post tlon, through actual experience, to slzo up the present situation. When Govornor Stuart speaks, he speaks with sincerity, ana when he pro sides over a Republican meeting, as he did over the tremendous ovation to Tener, which aroused all Harris burg on Monday of last week, he pre sides because he believes that It Is the right and honest thing to do. When ho says of Tener, as he did in his presentation speech, "I am satis fied that he will do what he promises you he will do, and I say that with all sincerity," he means precisely that. Governor Stuart has confidence in Tener. And so have we. Philadel phla Inquirer. THE GLOBE! Special for Ten Days Splendid money-saving opportunity in evety department.

One week more will end the po litical campaign and we shall then know whether the policies of the Re publican administration at Washing ton are to be continued or whether wo may look for a Democratic Presi dent to succeed Taft. Let no mistake bo made about this. It is easy to think of tho Pres idential struggle as two years off, and to repeat that one cannot cross a bridge until he arrives at It. As a matter of fact we have arrived prac tically at that bridge today. This election throughout the Nation Is pre liminary to the great contest just ahead. It Is proposed by tho Demo crats and their sympathizers to cap ture right now tho House of Ropre sentatlves at Washington; to control enough legislatures to win tho Senate of the United States, or at least to so reduce tho Republican majority In tho Senate as to make victory easy In another two years; to run a Wil son or a Harmon or a Gaynor for President, In caso a triumph next week, and thus placo the Democratic party in power. And this triumph can bo brought about, but only with tho consent of Republican voters. Let all Republi cans consider that. Let tlionnpormlt great Republican states to bo turned over to the Democrats next week and they will quickly find that their chances for redeeming the country In 1912 and electing a Republican President are exceedingly slim. II. C. JACKSON. H. C. Jackson is a Wayne county man by birth, by education and a life long residence with us. Can you mention any better recommend for a man, whom you wish to represent you? He Is a farmer and a success ful o'ne, and as a farmer he repre sents the very best element of county life for It is the farmer who digs the money out of mother earth in the shape of vegetables, fruit, grain, etc. He Is the biggest manufacturer with NATURE as a silent partner that the world has. Do away with the farmer and we would all die of starvation. The farmers of Wayne county raise Crops from the soil, turn them into money, bring tlio money to the Honesdale banks, so that tho mer chants and manufacturers can go to tho bank, borrow tho farmers' money to pay wages to the workingmen, clerks, etc. Now the farmers of Wayne county have nominated Farm er Jackson of Tyler Hill as tho man whom thai' want to represent this county at Harrisburg. Now "Honest Injun don t you think, Mr. Store keeper, Mr. Worklngman and Mr. Manufacturer that Its a square deal to grant them this wish, especially as they have not had a representative for so many years that it has escaped the memory of man. This man Jack son has had a valuablo experience In mercantile life; ho has been success ful In his own business, pays his debts, and is one of tho most respect ed cjtizens In this section of the county. There aro a lot of ques tions concerning agricultural pur suits that will come up In this next legislature . Wo presume you know that tho cost of living has gone up; If you don't you ought to. Woll, tho only way to cut down the cost of living LEOPOLD FUERTH. Leopold Fuerth has been to Har risburg four times; this Is the fifth time he has tried for the position. A great many people think he has been elected as many times as he ought to be. He promised some people he would not run anymore, but would try for Stato Senator, but Joel Hill got the whip hand of him In that deal and so he comes back for an other trial as Representative. Leo pold Is a real good fellow In many respects but ho has got It In to his head, that tho legislature of Pennsyl vania actually needs him In order to make the laws of this state. Leo pold's paper which ho had published in Scranton proudly points to his rec ord and It actually insinuates that Fuerth was the whole shooting match when at Harrisburg; that all the vir tue that grew at Harrisburg was planted by him. Is to make old Mother Earth deliver more goods; the supply must equal the demand and we wnnt somo farm ers in tho legislature to steer tho lawyers and other fellows In tho right road. Tho legislature will take up tho question of Intensified farming next session, and mark what wo say "old Wayne in five years will bo pro ducing products that will bring dol lars where they only bring cents now," and it will not bo through raising prices but by raising a hun dred fold moro vegetables and fruits, Jackson has reached an age where ho Is ripe for counsel and advice and he has a store house full of farmers lore. Ho is conservative, energetic. faithful, and has all tho qualifications for an Ideal repreesntatlvo. Don't mak any mistake but get In a vote for Jackson. SOUTH CANAAN. Special to Tho Citizen.

THE GL0BE Jadwin block. HONESDALE, PA. Election Bets LETTER FROM MONROE COUNTV, We read a piece In our county pa per written by somebody up in the north part of your county praising Harvey Huffman, and recommending him for State Senator. The man who wrote it must have met Harvey on one of his trips. Harvey Is smooth and oily all right. Here in Monroe county where he lives we have him down pat and the reason why the Democrats are going to voto for Lewis Is, we know both Huffman and Lewis and while it "goes agin the grain" to vote for a Republican, yet of tho two evils we must choose tho least. Lewis Is clean, honest, reliable and capable. Anybody who is honest and knows Harvey Huffman can't say that he has any of the above qualifications. Ho is as slippery as they make them. He Is a liquor man to the liquor dealer, a local option man to tho Keystoners, a prohibition ist to the temperance crowd, and now he is on the Socialist ticket and to them he claims he Is out for an equal division of everything under the sun. Monroe county Democrats will not stand for any such monkey- shine business and will voto for Lewis who has won tho respect of those who know him. Huffman's record as counsel for tho County Commissioners Is about all Monroe county can stand. JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRAT.
