Has a Good Record.
Grant Scbeafnocker, candidate for
the Republican nomination for county
-treasurer, comes before the people with
-a record of having filled the office of
Sheriff in a manner that has caused
much comment, and In all his official
duties he has- been both obliging and
competent. In recognition of his ef
ficient service he has won hundreds
of staunch supporters in his fight for
, county treasurer, and is recognized
as one of the strongest candidates in
the field.
Their are many conscientious voters

' will quietly vote for Mr. Scbeafnocker

THE SENATORIAL FIGHT.
T. M. Kurtz, of Punxsutawney, Seeking
the Support of All Good Republicans.
As the time draws near for holding
primary elections throughout the state,
tbe fight for the nomination of a Re
publican candidate for th" office o' sena
tor In the Thirty-seventh district, com
prising Joffurson and Indiana counth t,
becomes mora and more Intorextltis?,
and the friends of T. M. Kurtz of Punx
sutawney, aud in fact all Republicans
who are bolievers In fair play, are work
ing hard for his Interests.
As all good Republicans In the dis
trict know Mr. Kurtz has been one i f
the most Influential workers and mot
promlslug candidates for this ullloa for
tbe past four years, and It has long been
understood that at tho expiration of
Benator Fisher's second term he would
be Jefferson county's choice.
When the present campaign opem d
it looked for a time as though Mr.
Kurtz would be given tbu nomination
without opposition, since the word came
from Indiana that that county, would
not place a candidate in the field. Rut
to complicate the situation, two other
announcements have appeared in Ji IT r
son county for the office, namely, Hon.
S. T. North and Hon. Henry I. Wilson,
both of whom have been before the
people several times for publlo office and
have been pretty thoroughly taken care
of. Mr. North is one of the present
representatives in tho General Assem
bly at Hnrrlisburgt having served two
regular and one special term, throe
terms In all, and Mr. Wilson has al.so
served a term In the L9glslature, be
sides filling numerous offices to which
be has been appointed.
Although Kurtz has been In politics
all his life and has established consider
able of a reputation as a loider, this is
his firat request for office, and this re
quest was made long enough ayo that
both his opponents, for the sake of
party harmony at least, should have
arranged their political plans different
ly. Kurtz was one of North's most en
thusiastic supporters when bo (North)
made his campaigns for Assembly, and
used his best efforts to win for him both
tbe nomination and election. Mr.
North knew at that time that Mr.
Kurtz was to 6e a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for senator In 1 !K)8,
and now repays that service, which vas
rendered at a lime when it was thor
oughly needed, by coming out against
him. It has been said that there Is n
such thing as fairness and gratitude In
politics and it looks very much as
though that is Mr. North's conception
of the game.
Indiana county has conceded Jeffer
son county's right to name the next
Benator and has agreed to stand b.v Mr.
Kurtz, as a matter of principle and fair
play.
The Republican voters of this county
will, we hope, do the same. Mr. Kurtz
has merited the honor he seeks and Is
in every way qualified to represent his
Constituents in a competent and Intel
ligent manner. All Republicans who
belleye In fair play an 3 a "square deal"
Bhould support him. Punxsutawney

Lockard for Treasurer.
Probably the most popular candidate
In the field for the treasuryshlp among
tbe Republicans this spring is James S.
Lockard, of Llndsey. He has always
been a Republican and a worker for his
party. He Is a steady, reliable, right
kind of a man himself and besides has
eminent qualifications for tbia office.
There Is something In experience In
this line and while Mr. Lockard has not
been In this office, he has had training
that goes far to make him ready to take
up this now work at once and carry It
to success. He was burgess of Clay vllle
two terms and made a good record In
this position. This is not an easy po
sition to many, but that be was fearless,
impartial and successful Is greatly to
his credit as a successful executive. He
has been tax collcotor now for two
terms, Is rounding ogt his fifth year In
this position and is reputed, even by
his political opponents, to be one of tbe
best in tbe county. He is particularly
strong In his offloe work, having sys
tematized and simplified It until It is a
model of neatness, dispatch, as to bus
iness use. rxecllunt, superior for such
work. Thwe years of experience show
a tiuiess that would go far to make him
one of tho best treasurers the county
ever possessed. Thetw. with other ad
mirable qualities render him a very for-
j mldablo candidate and one well-worthy,
as It would se-m. of the Support of the
I party April 11th He has already re
I eelved great enoouragpment. and, al
though he has a lot of cither good men
after him in this mo i. he expects to
show them a pair of clean heels In a
fairly won race for this position Big

North's Record in the Legislature.
Tbe Punxsutawney Ribublicrtn in
last week's Issue referring to tbe
Senatorial fight says: ''North is at
present an office holder and could
have been re-eleotod to the state legis
lature over any other man in the
county." In tbis day of greed and graft
this Is certainly very complimentary
to Mr. North's record and onu of the
best reasons for advancing him to
the Senate. The experience he has
gainid during the past three sessions
will certainly be of great advantage to
his constituents.
North's Interest and attitude on all
measures was on the side of right, fair
play, and a "square deal" to all, with
out fear or favor. At the extra session
(1900) there was no member of the
House worked harder and did more
to secure a legislative apportionment
act than North, whereby Jefferson
county gained ber just representation
of two members, wblob right had been
denied our county for the past nineteen
years.
During the last session (1907) North
personally presented five "bills" four
of which were approved by Governor
Staurt, the fifth was "killed" in the
Senate a bill giving the qualified elec
tors In the state the right to express
their choice at tbe polls as to
who should represent them in the
United States Senate. Among other
"bills" .North voted for the two-cent
rate law, the miners' liability law, the
law giving trolley lines the right of
eminent domain and tbe right to carry
freight, the fostering and protection
of the sheep industry, amending the
yacclnatlon law, whereby pupils might
be relieved of compulsory vaccination
except In certain contingencies; be
also voted to place all bills on tbe
"Calendar" for the purpose of giving
the people an opportunity to be heard
on any and all publlo questions where
by .they demand a hearing. Punxsu

He expects to move bis family to some

Some of our wide awake farmer are
fast waking up to the fact that the

is not the most profitable way. A little

Is a scene of marvelous beauty to view

Many of us bave attended farmers'
institute this year and have come away
enthused with the desire to try some
of the methods there discussed for en

satisfied until we have put into prac
tice some of the new ideas.

IS MAJOR BEALE
MAKING GOOD
IN CONGRESS?
When Major Beale is asking to be
returned to Congress, the above ques
tion is naturally suggested. The fair
est way to answer it is by comparison.
His predecessor, Mr. Smith, was In
Congress four years. In the first two
he secured the passage of four bills and
three In the last, making seven bills in
all In his four years of service. In the
first three months of Major Beale's first
term be has put seven bills through the
House and has two more reported out of
committee, making a total of nine bills
acted on thus far. Two of these have
passed the Senate and sigued by the
President, the five still pending in the
Senate will be passed in a few days, we
are assured by our Senator.
Mr. Qourley for Treasurer.
Mr. Ezra C. Gourley, candidate for
tbe Republican nomination for county
treasurer at the primary eleotion on
April llth, was In Brookvllle last week
looking after his political interests.
Mr. Gourley is rated with the sub
stantial farmers of the county, and he
is a lust-class business roan, eminently
qualified for tbe position which be
seeks. He is a native born citizen of
the county, having been born and
raised on the farm adjoining the one
he now owns. As a farmer Mr. Gour
loy's work has been marked by pro
gresslveness of spirit, and he hasalwnys
taken an active Interest In the citizen's
duties as a citizen. He has been allied
with those who were striving for the
best interests of his home community,
and his influenoe has been felt in all
theclrolesof activity in which he has
figured. In farmer's institutes be has
taken an active part, demonstrating
In his disousslons such a broad knowl
edge as to mark him a capable and
correct thinking citizen. This is Mr.
Gourley's first contest for county offloe,
and he has such a host of friends who
are actively enlisted in bis behalf, and
who believe that his claims for political
preferment at this time are well
grounded. The family from which he
springs have been heavy taxpayers for
many years, and feel that they are
justly entitled to representation in
tbe county's official roster. Brookvllle

As an. Indiana County Editor Sees Him.
We clip the following from the issue
of March 20, 1908, of the Blairsvllle
Courier, under the heading: "A Pleas
ing Personality; A Candidate Who
Makes Hosts of Friends Wherever be
Goes."
Among the many candidates who have
visited Blairsvllle during tho present
campaign none has made a more pleas
ing impression than Hon. Henry I. Wil
son, of Big Run, 'candidate for state
onator. In spite of his extensive and
varied experience In public -life. Mr.
Wilson is still a young man, tho kind of
man who will always be young. He Is
of a genial and kindly disposition, a
first class raconteur, polite and defer
entlal in bis manner, with no trucking,
howeyer, and every Inch a gentleman.
He seems to be as sharp as the proverb
ial steel taok, and is possessed, appar
ently, of a broad and liberal education.
He pleases at first sight and grows upon
acquaintance and it would be a safe bet
to wager that If Mr. Wilson could per
sonally see every voter In the district
he would be nominated by a large ma
jority. Mr. Wilson strikes the observer
as a man very much in earnest aud that
his principles are such as all good men
can subscribe to. He claims that he la
not tied to clique or faction, Is making
no promiscuous pledges or promises, is
ready to deal fairly and squarely with
all questions as they from time to time '
arise. His real platform soema to be a
willingness to carry out tbe wishes of
his oonxtituents and to have his ear to
the ground, as it were, listening to
their demands. He seems to believe
that law makers should be exceedingly
careful to seo to it that the making of
laws Is not overdone and that special .
rights and privileges Bhould be abolish
ed. Should Mr. Wilson be made sena
tor there is no doubt but that be will be
heard from and that, too, In the right
way. Take htm all In all he seems four
square and honest and as far romcved
from the -time-serving and grafting
politicians as the heavens ftp? from the
earth,
