The Republican candidates were nomi

voters of the County without any influence
except that of the candidates themselves,
and if elected will have no political debts to
pay. Not a single candidate on the Republi

ment of any kind or nature whatsoever, save
only this, that he, if elected, will perform the
duties of his office to the best of his ability
and in the interest of the people of Wayne

JUDGE SEARLK'S SPEECH.
Chairman AVebber introduced
Judge Alonzo T. Searle, who, with a
brief speech, opened the meeting.
Among other things, he said:
" I am not one of the speakers of the
evening nor was I put down for a regular
sneech. 1
"You know wi have been trying, for
a numper ot years. 10 eei a congressman
In Wayne county, 'and this year we again
had our choice In that man whom all
Wayne county loves and whom we wish
ed to honor, Mr. Homer Greene. (Ap
plause). It seems, however, the Fates
were against us, and Mr. Alney, of Sua- I
?uehanna county, was nominated. My
rlend. Mr. Greene, however, like the 1
good, true Republican he always Is, after
the contest Is over, Is found In the first 1
ranks of the Republican party. He Is nl-1
ways with the boys and ever ready to do
niH iuu uuty.
" If wo could not nominate Mr. Greene,
I know of no one whom I would more pre
fer to see upon the ticket than Mr. Alney,
I have known Mr. Alney for many years,
as a lawyer and as a man. He Is a
sound lawyer and a grand man. Ha has
tried several cases before me In Susque
hanna county and as p. lawyer there are
few better In Northeastern Pennsylvania.
He Is a representative, active, publlc
Bplrlted citizen of his county, always In
terested In public matters and true to
the principles and lntorests of the Re
publican party. He will make one of
the best Congressmen this district has
ever had. 1
" One of the best tickets ever nominat
ed In Wayne county has been selected.
From Alney down to the auditors, there
Is, not a single man wno Is not worthy
of the office and who does not stand for
clean, honest politics."
Speaking of his own candidacy, Judge
Searle said: "I am fully conscious of th
responsibilities ot the high office to which
I have the honor to be nominated. We
are all making a clean campaign and If
elected, I shall not be a Democratic or a
Republican Judge but a Judge of all the
people, and shall endeavor to deal fairly,
impartially and squarely with all, with
out regard to person or party before me,
aiming simply to be a good Judge of all
tho people of Wayne county, without
fear, favor ,or partiality, and to adminis
ter Justice .according to the very best of
my ability and Judgment. (Applause).
" There will be no dishonest nor dis
honorable means used In obtaining my
election! only square moans and fair
means that shall fit' the high' office of
Judge of Wayne county. 1 do not pro
pose to allow tho judicial ermine to ba
dragged In the mire. Tho campaign will
be clean, honest and honorable so far
as I am concerned."
Judge Searle then 'spoke. In a general
way, compllmentarily of the several can
didates, declaring they wero all compe
tent and good men, whom we all know.
He also stated that he was pleaBed to
see that there Vas the utmost harmony
In the Republican party. " Wo are all
friends together," he said, ' and I trust
this district will elect the Republican
candidate for Congress and I trust that
these men (pointing to the candidates
who were seated on the stage) will be
found In the purt House after January
1st " -iWreat.Mjplausje).
' JJtlRSlMONS' SPEECH.
Coun Chairman M. E. Simons,
candidate for District Attorney, was
introduced and spoke as follows:
"Gentlemen of the Republican Club of
wmiu nuns; 11 uiiorua me great pleasure
to be here once moro to see you. I
didn't come here to make a speech, but
to see you once more. I feel very much
at homo with you. I am a frequent vis
itor hero. I'm glad to be here to-night.
I promise to be shorter than I was last
time. I'm not going to forget myself
this evening.
" I'm not going to say anything against
the Democratic party because they treat
ed me o very generously, so I couldn't
have very much to say against them.
" When Itufus Choate was a young
lawyer he had a case In court where the
evidence brought In was very much
against his client. FortSnately after the
evidence was all In, Court adjourned, so
he consulted with an old attorney of New
York, told him tbo circumstances, and
asked him what to do. ' Go back and
holler,' said the attorney. ' What's that?'
4 Make up In noise, what you lack In
argument.' It worked pretty well. So
when our Domocratlo friends haven't
much of an argument they make a hol
ler, and expect tho voters to take holler
for noise.
"I heard Dr. Rockwell speak several
nights ago. He QDneared tn hn n. vrv
nice sort of an old gentleman. Personal
ly, nothing corld be said against him.
He said I was born a Republican. I
Uvea a Republican as long I could con
sistently remain a member of that party,
and when I couldn't any longer I got out
of It.' That was the right thing for htm
to do. Now ha Is coming to you asking
the support of the Republican party in
ii.a wuvuaa. auu is mat ino way
canumaie ougnt to do to get your
votes? Ho left because he couldn't main
tain his respectability In It.
" Senator Dolllver, a year ago last
June, In the Senate said: 'I am a Re
publican. I am going to stay a Repub
lican notwithstanding that some of my
old trlends would like to see me get out
of the party. I will not? do so even to
oblige some of my best friends.' And yet
Berry and Rockwell would like to be
ciunseu wun men iikq uolllver.
' I thought that this man, Dr. P.ock
well, who couldn't stay In the IlemihH
can party, and wouldn't go to the Demo
cratic party Oh, no, ho was too good for
that the Democratic party was too
good for Rockwell, ana yet he comes
here nnd nsks for the support of both
too good for either one, and yet not good
enough to stay In his own party, and
If It needs to be reformed to bring it
up to where It belongs.
" If ho believes In the principles of that
party. It was his place to be one of the
leaders to bring It up to tho standard he
has for his own Ideal. Instead of that
he gets out. Do you want to send men
01 mai Kinu 10 represent you at Wash
ington, or do you want men of the
Btamp and style of Senator Dolllver?.
, "There's a good deal for you at stake
In AVhlte Mills whether you have the
right kind of renresentatlve at WaRhlnir.
ton or not You need some one who will
rightly represent you.
"We got one of the best local tickets
ever presented to the nennln nf Wnvno
county, starting with our candidate for
Congress, Mr. Alney. Judge Searle told
you something about him. Wo believe
that he will mnlntaln the standard set
by Galusha A. Grow and David Wllmot.
And then for our Judge Searle. A
man whom I have known for many years
whom I have met as an antagonist In
court practice, practiced before as our
Judge. I have known him Intimately for
25 years. And I dare say It without the
least reservation, I never knew him to
do a mean or unwnrthv nnt in liin Ufa.
I always knew him to be upright, fair
niu luuiiirimi. jj'tur, impartial ana un
biased in his rulings In Court. Just such
a man as we need to preside over our
cuun. uuu arai out justice ana equity,
who will maintain the high standard
we ve had In Wavnn ennntv fnr vmm.
And when we go to Court wa know Jus-
u win ne Humimsierea,
we nave no doubt that you as voters
in AVayne county win ratify tho nominal
tlon made on the 80th of September and
elect him to the highest office In Waynt
county.
" You know Barnes Is qualified for the
office to which he aspires. He will oJ-'
cunv that nfflM with th mrna ntTnhlllrv
and courtesy as lias been maintained py
the man who now occupies that office.
It will continue to be filled with a roan
wiioui you an nurture, ana you are usea
iu uui Kina 01 a man mere.
(Continued on Page Four).
We are authorized by E. 0, Mumford, Esq., to announce that he will
support the whole Republican ticket and that he earnestly desires hie
many "friends to do the same.
It Is peculiarly gratifying (p tho Citizen to make this announcement
because it Bhows, as Mn". Homor&Jreene In a speech nt White Mills Friday-
evening said that neyer-'bas theJRep Ublican party worked more harmoni
ously together than ids' atthe present time.
A good (oser always commands respect and admiration and The Citi
zen hastens to pay Its tribute of respect to tho man who, after losing a.
good fight, turns aroiihd ,and works for the ticket;.
THE 1IERALD IS AVRONG AGAIN.
Facts are stubborn' things. For Instance, when the present Board of
County Commissioners wont Into office the amount of the county Indebted
ness 'was ?37,000, Instead 'of JIB, 000 as our esteemed Democratic contem
porary alleges. The present Board was immediately obliged to borrow
$12,000 to meet some' of tho outstanding obligations. As It Is the Re
publican Board has reduced 'ithe Indebtedness to about ?26,000, 1 iT addition
to tho large number of roads, and bridges they constructed.
The claims against the county in 1905 when tho Democratic Board
went out of ofllce were $26,000 Instead of $15,000 as tho Herald alleges.
Itemized, these accounts, were'as follows:

organ would make them out to be?
WILLIAM D II. AINEY FOIt CONGUESS.
The campaign for 19Uls drawing to a close. The managers of the
Keystone-Democratic aggregation, seeing the handwriting on the wall, in
desperation, brought a National celebrity to this Fourteenth Congression
al District, to annunciate Its policies and If Tosslble, create some enthu
siasm and rally Its fast diminishing forces, AVoodrow AVIlson Is In many
respects a wonderful man; but he is Intoxicated 'with the adulation and
prominence which has been given him, and this flattery combined with
his presidential aspirations are cogent reasons why he Is willing to pose
In the spotlight. To be sure, AVoodrow AA'llson wants a Democratic con
gressman; otherwise, ho would not have traveled several hundred miles,
leaving his official duties to take care of themselves,
The personal fitness of Captain AVm. D. B. Alney, of Montrose, Is a
subject which needs no embolllshmest on our part. A young man ot
about 45 years, polished and industrious, he Is tho acknowledged leader
ot the Bar of SuBquehanna county. His methods are direct, open and
abgve board. 'He Is a clean-man personally and Is the happy -possessor of
a responsive temperament which qualifies him as an Ideal repersontatlvo
of the people His Ideas are advanced Ideas, and wo believe that such
men are to-day termed progressive. He Is naturally, a Republican, and
as such hopes for better things; believes In better things and will work
for bettor things. Mr. Alney Is a thinking' and far-seeing man; he real
izes the needs ot tho people In this district, and "he can best servo those
whom Tie best knows."
Republicans who are abreast of the times can make no mistake In
giving their hearty support to Mr. Alney. His views are T)road and
liberal; he is not bound down by sentiment and tradition, but Is awake
to present and future needs.
Republicans In his own county are pledging Mr. Alney their united
