I cannot recall a single day's ses
sion of ever looking back to his seat

nis duties and to your Interests.
Ho was held In high oseom by the

BY CANDIDATES
II. Clark Jackson and F. C. Heichcn
lincker Decluro Their Willingness
to Support SulTrago Bill in

Llda Stokes Adams, chairman of
tho Legislative committee of Penn
sylvania Woman Suffrago Associa
tion has been doing great work
among the candidates for office and
present members of tho stato legisla
ture In tho furtherance of tho work
of extending tho franchise to women.
Circular letters have been sent to
them by tho association to ascertain
whether or not they aro In favor of

tions put to them Is, If elected,
would you support a bill In tho leg
islature providing for tho referen
dum for a constitutional amendment
granting full suffrago to women
upon tho same terms upon which It
Is now given to man?
From Wayne county, II. Clark
Jackson, of Tyler Hill, and Fred C.
Relchenbacker, of Honcsdale, have
signified tliolr willingness to support
a bill extending tho franchise to
women of Pennsylvania. Tho inove
luent In this direction In tho stato
Is rapidly gaining ground and as
Justlco David J. Brower of tho U. S
Supremo Court says: " Fomalo suf
frage will come. Not fully at once,
but by varying steps. Woman's
broader education, hor Increasing
familiarity with business and public
affairs, will lead to It. And why
not?
"Tho chief reply Is tho homo. God
forbid that It should bo jeopardized.
But female suffrago will not debase
tho homo or lessen its power and in
fluenco. On tho other hand It will
introduco a refining and uplifting
power Into our political life."

"Tho Keystone State" Subject of
Speech.
Governor John K. Tenor was tho
guest of honor at tho annual dinner
of tho Wllkcs-Barro Chamber of
Commerco on Tuesday evening. Ills
subject was tho stato of Pennsylva
nia, to which iho paid proper tribute.
Tho governor said that Pennsyl
vania takes rank as the foremost
stato In tho union In material p re
pressiveness and In Its pursuance of
practical statesmanship. Tho last
but one, of tho original thirteen
states, it started out with a strong
er framework of government than
nny of them an dhas always been
tho state of greatest peaco and of
greatest prosperity.
Not only, said tho Governor, is
Pennsylvania freo from debt, but
GOVERNOR JOHN K. TENEIt.
with the single exception of high
ways It has public Improvements In
a measure greater than most other
states. In the matter of Improved
roads, he said, the legislature may
bo relied on to take such action as
will Keep us abreast with the times.
Governor Tenor's speech was time
ly, In admlrablo taste, and a proper
rebuke to the many who have been
decrying Pennsylvania because of
some misfortunes and defects which
feature conduct of public affairs
everywhere. Pennsylvania does not
claim to liavo attained perfection,
but it has reason to feel elated, when
Its industrial, financial, commercial
and governmental affairs are con
trasted with those of other states of
the union. Governor Tener Is mak
ing that fact clear.
