H. Madison, representative in congress

Representative Madison was one of
the striking features In the strenuous
light over the rules in the last con
gress, which resulted in the curtail
ment of the speaker's powers and rad
ical changes in the code governing the
house. Madison and Murdock of Kan
sas, Hayes of California nnd other
progressive Republicans, under the
leadership of Nortis of Nebraska in the
closing hours of the sixty-first con
gress, waged and won the battle for
reorganization of the house methods.

prepared to raise an indemnity fund
to reimburse James White, the pro
moter of the fight between Jack John

The Pall Mall Gazette says the Rev.

lous. His public prayers for the con
version of Johnson and Wells, Mr. As

The contest, says the paper, is unob

such a notable one In South Africa.

MINOR BROWN,

CANDIDATE for PROTHONOTARY.
JOHN N. Sn.UlPSTEEN.
To the Republicans ot Wayne Co.:
I take this means of announcing
myself as a candidate for the nomi
nation of Prothonotary at the pri
maries, Sept. 30, 1911.
To most of you I am known per
sonally. During my seventeen years
of service as a clerk in the Hones
dale postolflce my efforts have been
to perform my duties faithfully and
courteously to the patrons of the of
fice and the public generally.
To the voters with whom I am not
personally acquainted 1 would say
that, since a severe injury sustain
ed by my father a few years before
his accidental death when I was six
teen years old I have tried to make
an honest living. My birthplace was
in Texas township, district No. 4,
Wayne county. My school days
were limited to the district school
and the Honesdale High school. As
a boy of eleven years 1 spent my
summers slate picking on tho Dela
ware & Hudson dock and attended
school during the winter. I also
spent several summers working on a
farm in Cherry Ridge.
After school I entered the office
of the Honesdale Iron Works, known
now as the Guerney Electric Elevator
Co.,. where I stayed a number of
years and later entered the Hones
dale postofftce serving two years un
der William F. Brlggs. I then went
to the Carbondale Lumber company
as a bookkeeper, remaining with
them until the appointment "as post
master or Miss Mary E. Gerety, who
later became tho wife of Hon. C. A.
McCarty. In June, 1896, I returned
to the Honesdale postofflco where I
have been employed over since. In
coming before tho people and asking
their assistance and vote at the com
ing primaries, let me say that I am
no tool of any boss or bosses. I
simply desire in common with every
American citizen to better my condi
tion. Your support will be appre
elated and If nominated and elected
I will devote all my time and atten
tion to the duties of the office to
which I aspire and will resign my
present position.
As tho son of the late Newton
Sharpsteen, veteran of the Civil
war, I have an interest In and sym
pathy with all veterans.
Most cordially yours,
J. N. Sharpsteen.
