A FEW LETTERS READ THEM.
Alonzo T. Searlo was appointed Judge of Wayne county two years ago
by Governor Edwin S. Stuart. Mis appointment was made upon a petition
from the Republican members of the Wayne County Bar, the acquiescence
of the Democratic members of the bar and personal letters from seventy
four representative men of the county , urging his appointment. He was
the choice of the people for the appointment as he is to-day the choice of
the peoole for the election.
We publish below a few of the letters which were sent to the Governor
at that time:
Honesdale, Pa., Sept. 13, 1909.
Edwin S. Stuart, Governor.
Dear Sir:
I wish to take only a minute of your time In order to recommend the
appointment of A. T. Searle to the vacant judgeship of this county, Wayne.
As T am pastor In this place for over thirty years and have known Mr.
Searle for that length of time, I can assure you that the appointment will
be a credit to you and your administration.

My Dear Sir:
I avail mysolf the opportunity of addressing you in Togard to tho all
important duty doVolving upon you at this timo to appoint a person quali
fied and in overy way competent to fill tho exalted position as judge of
Wayne county. I feel glad at this time, however, that I can recommend
such a one for your consideration, A. T. Searle, of Honesdale. I have
known him ever since he was a law student. He has been continually
climbing tho ladder of fame and Is now considered tho most able attorney
In tho county.
I fully realize the responsibility of even recommending an officer for
such an important and exalted position as judgo and would under no cir
cumstanco bring to youi' notlco the name of Mr. Searle If I did not think him
competent and in every way qualified and worthy of the appointment.
Furthermore, I wish to say while I own and operate a farm near the county
seat my duties as secretary of Wayne County Pomona Grange and County
Orchard Inspector, under the supervision of tho State of Pennsylvania, this
brings mo In constant touch with the rural population and I know tho senti
ment of tho people In these districts as well or perhaps bettor than any one
In the county. It was a common saying and is yet that Mr. Searlo will be
our next judge and-I hope that this saying wlllbe verified.
Mr. Searle is a member of my home Grange of which I am Master and
I feel proud to have such an able and noted man connected with the order.
Ho has a fine appearance and Is one of our very test speakers. I have
yet to hear" the first word that would in any way reflect upon his untarnished
character.
I have here stated a few plain facts which I consider worthy of your
careful consideration. I am not writing tHls letter for any personal benefit
whatever, savo for the best interests of tho people of Wayne county.
Very respectfully yours,
W. H. BULLOCK.

To His Excellency Edwin S. Stuart,
Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
Sir: A. T. Searle has for many years been a prominent member of the
Wayne County Bar, and on account of his acknowledged integrity, his
educational qualifications, his ability as a lawyer, and his wide experience
in 'his practice In the state and United States courts pre-eminently fits him
for the position of Judge of our local courts. ' I .therefore cheerfully rec
ommend his appointment to fill the vacancy In the office of President
Judge of the 22nd Judicial district of Pennsylvania, caused by the death
of Geo. S. Purdy.
M. 'E. SIMONS,
Chairman of the Rep. County Committee and District Attorney of Wayne
County.
Honesdale, Pa., Sept. 11, 1909.
Hon. Edwin S. Stuart,
Harrlsburg, Pa.
Dear Sir:
For nine years I was prothonotary of Wayne county, and deputy pro
thonotary for nearly five years longer. I am now retired. During the time
I was In office Alonzo T. Searlo had by far the largest practice before the
courts and the largest office practice. I also know him as a man, a citizen,
and a neighbor. In overy respect I consider him eminently fitted for a
judge and am sure it will give general satisfaction to every interest In
Wayne county to have him appointed Judge to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Judge Purdy.
Most respectfully yours,
W. A. GAYLORD.
Honesdale, Pa., Sept. 10, 1909.
Hon. Edwin S. Stuart,
Governor of Pennsylvania,
Harrlsburg, Pa.
Dear Sir:
A vacancy in the president judgeship of the judicial district (the
twenty-second), having occurred by reason of the death of Judge Purdy,
as the oldest member of the bar. of this county I take tho liberty of writ
ing you recommending the appointment of A. T. Searle to fill the vacancy.
I havo Known Mr. Searle as a lawyer over since his admission to the
bar on October 22, 1882. I have frequently been associated with him
and frequently opposed to him in the trial of causes, and thus havo ample
opportunity of testing his legal attainments. 'From an Intimate knowledge
of his professional and personal character, I can vouch for his fitness for
the bench, and I believe that his appointment would be highly satisfactory
to a largo majority of the people of the district.
Very truly yours,
H. WILSON,
Pres. Wayne County Bar Association.
Honesdale, Pa., Sept. 8, 1909.
Governor Edwin S. Stuart,
Harrlsburg, Pa.
My Dear Governor:
As you are probably awaro there Is a vacancy on the bench of this dis
trict because of the death of G. S. Purdy. I am, as a Christian minister,
deeply Interested In the appointment of a successor, and want to commend
to your notice A. T. Searle, whom I havo known intimately for twenty-five
years. Mr. 'Searle by college training and the hardest kind of work since
he was admitted to the bar (and he has the largest practice of any lawyer
here, is recognized as tho leading lawyer) 13 in every way qualified for the
position of judge. Ho is a gentleman as well as a scholar, a member of the
board of trustees of our church (the First Presbyterian) and popular
throughout the county. He is the first choice of .his party, and 'will reflect
credit upon tho position. My best judgment, as well as my warmest inter-
I am sure you will mako no mistake In appoint
Searle. With great personal regard, I am
Sincerely yours,

Governor of Pennsylvania,

Dear Sir:
My father was a Republican, and for the past twenty-five years I have
been actively connected with Republican politics In Wayne county, having
been a member of the county committee, member of the state committee,
and for many years heen upon the executive committee of the county com
mittee, and was secretary of the last county convention under the delegato
system.
During all these years, I havo been very well acquainted with Alonzo
T. Soarlo. I was secretary of tho town council a number of years while Mr.
Searle was solicitor for the board. He has always been a consistent Re
publican, has had a large practice in tho civil and criminal courts, which
has extended outside of tho limits of Wayne county. He has always been
connected with any public enterprise, been a member of the echool board
for many years and is now president of that board. At one time,, lie was
the only Republican member of the hoard.
By ability, experience and 'health, I would consider him eminently
qualified for the position of judge. I am informed that he Intends to be
a candidate before the people and I believo he will be nominated and elect
ed; and his appointment to the Judgeship made vacant by the death of
Judgo Purdy, I know will give very general satisfaction among the Repub
licans as well as the Democrats of Wayne county.
Very truly yours,
MARTIN CAUFIELD.

VOTERS, make no mistake on
election day vote for Male and
Rockwell for county commissioners.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
W. B. Lesher, Republican candi
date for Register and Recorder, Is
well fitted for that office and his
election would not only place an effi
cient man In the court houso, but
would help elect a representative
ticket.
Vote for W. D. B. Ainey for Congressman.
Male and Rockwell were the free
selection of a majority of tho voters
at the primaries and in their candi
dacy they represent the voice of tho
people.
Veterans, .Attention! .Comrade
W. W. Wood, whom you undoubted
ly know, Is a candidate for County
Treasurer on tho Republican ticket.
Stand by the flag, what it represents
and support him on election day.
He was on the firing lino during tho
war and now an opportunity is given
you to help him win in the battle of
the ballots. Mr. Voter, give him
your hearty support. You will nev
er regret it.
That buzzing sound heard in the
streets and around the county Is not
an auto or motor cycle. It is the
campaign of Candidate T. J. Boyd

Elect capable men to office. Tho
office of Prothonotary is an import
ant one and one which requires
mucn. attention. 'Wallace J. Barnes'
business interests havo qualified him
for the office and ho should receive
the election by a nice majority.
Male and Rockwell are competent
men. Be sure that you cast your bal
lot for both.
T. Y. Boyd is not ony -fortunate

A more popular and efficient can

for this office.

Vote for Neville Holgate for com

Efficiency in office require practi
cal men men who understand when

Earl Rockwell, Lake township, for
County Commissioner, means a vote
for a practical man.
Rockwell and Male are both farm
ers. Give them your hearty support
and they will give you a "square

Everybody knows Brock Lesher.
If the fine vote ho received at tho
primaries Is any indication of what
the vote on Nov. 7 will be, he will
go Into tho office of Register and
Recorder "with bells on."
Yes, tho best. Wallace J. Barnes,
of Berlin, is the very best man for

him as an office holder.
