Briehof, the respec tive candidates for poor director and poor auditor on the Democratic ticket, are touring the poor district. Mr. Beine man some years ago served a9 a poor director and has as clean, a record as any man who ever held that important position.

The leaders are confident of victory. Luzorne county next fall will elect a judge, district attorney, clerk of courts, prothonotary and congressman. A state senator and*a representative from each legislative district will also be elected. A. H.
