The Party Leaders Predict Sweeping Majorities for Ail the Candidates—Re- publican Money in Town The Democratic leaders in Luzerne county have no doubt of the result of tomorrow's election, if the Democrats are true to their candidates. The party in this county was never better organiz ed nor in better condition to conduct a winning fight, and unless ail signs fail every candidate on the ticket will be swept Into oflice by majorities which will be figured by the thousands. As stated in Friday's issue the Repub lican leaders, those on the inside of tint present campaign, have abandoned hope of the county ticket, and the Quay lieutenants are now confining their attention solely to the state candidates. To keep Yerkes' and Corny's majorities down as low as possible is now the aim of the machine. Failing to drive the independent Re publicans into line for Potter and Harris, the Quay contingent in Luzerne are now working upon the Democrats, upon tho following lines: They offer to trade any man on the county ticket, except Ilolcomb, for a vote for Harris. They are spreading broadcast lies about Coray's record in the legislature. They are attempting to inject religious bitterness into the campaign, in the hope of injuring Coray. They are offering Democratic watchers money to betray Yerkes and Coray by voting men who are unable to read for Potter and Harris. In Freeland borough and Foster township tho above moves were dis covered yesterday, and the men who made them are known and will be watched more closer than ever before until the voting is finished tomorrow evening. Never before in any campaign have the local upholders of the state machine bccomo so brazen in their efforts to win Democratic support. They have un limited money to spend to keep down tho Democratic-Fnion vote, but every move made so far and every offer to buy or bribe Democrats is known and will be checkmated. Friends of certain candidates on the Republican county ticket have been supplied with money to use in helping their individual aspirations among our foreign-bom citizens. Former residents of the lower end who now hold petty clerkships in the courthouse brought the money to town and distributed some of it. In more than one instance they mis took their men, and the Democratic workers wero immediately notified of tho schemes. There is money and influences at work in Freeland to obtain Democratic votes for Nichoils. No Democrat need be afraid to vote for Freas. He is an able lawyer and will make an honest judge. There are Republicans at work among the Democrats to secure complimentary votes for Dick. George McLean comes from an honored faintly of Democrats and no good Democrat will cut him. Holcomb, as second in con)maud of the Quay machine in Luzerne, will be cut by thousands of anti-Quay Republi cans. To overcome this defection money has been poured into the Fourth district to capture votes from Jim Bar rett. So barefaced have Ilolcomb's friends boeome witli their money that somebody Is likely to land in jail for bribery before tomorrow night. Even Jacobs, tho Democratic nominee for sheriff, has not escaped becoming a target of the Republican boodlers. In Foster township and the Fifth ward of Freeland men were approached yester day and offered money to work against him. Jacobs is worthy of every Demo cratic vote in Freeland and the man who falls to do his duty tomorrow must expect to reap the harvest which comes to all traitors. t The Republican state ticket nor tho Republican county ticket cannot win without Democratic votes. Why should either he given help tomorrow? Why should Freeland and Foster Democrats bo faithless when the party elsewhere is a unit against Quayistn? Refute the impression among the Quay boodlers und bulldozers that your votes can be swayed against your ticket by money or other Influences. Campaign Lie Nailed. The Quay machine as a last political FREELAND, PA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1901. card have sent to every liquor dealer in the state a bill which E. A. Coray presented in tho legislature, while a member of that body, at the request of some of his constituents. The machine is trying to make the saloon men believe that Corav is a Prohibitionist, but the attempt will fail. Coray presented the measure because it was his duty. An honest representative will present any and all measures which the people who elected him ask for. Further than the formal act of introducing the hill, Coray made no attempt to injure the men in the saloon business. If the Quay machine loves the liquor dealer as they pretend, why did they raise the price of the license to a figure which is nearly equal to prohibition? If they wanted to enlighten the people why didn't they send out the labor measures which Coray proposed and which wore defeated by the machine at the dictation of corporate interests? Foster School Board, The regular monthly meeting of the Foster township school board was held Saturday evening with ail members present. Tax Collector Lent/, was present and turned over §3,203.44 building tax and $3,229.31 school tax, a total of 86.432.75. It was decided that all school children in the township must be vaccinated and 1.500 certificates were ordered priuted by t he Tribune.

Furniture was ordered procured for Eckley and Highland buildings. Pupils were reported attending the schools from other districts. It was decided to render bills to the districts for the actual cost of tuition. It was decided to open night schools the first Monday in December for dis tricts from which petitions are present- A vote of thanks was tendered Mrs. Eckley B. Coxe for kindness toward pupils and the district at Eckley. The report of the county superinten dent showed all teachers were in attend ance at all sessions of the Institute.

Pardee was a witness, as were Thomas Duffy, president of the Mine Workers' Union; Peter Flabagan and Jacob Struck, miners, and Manager Wilde, of the Pardee Company. Argument followed, Attorneys Wil helm and Carr opening for the cotnmon wealth and Congressman Olmsted for the corporations. Attorney General Elkin closed for tho commonwealth. In some of the cases it was agreed that further testliuany might be offered by either side. It was also agreed that some other should bo argued on Tuesday, November 15. The eourt took all the papers and will probably render no decision until after all the cases have been fully heard and argued. Judge Simonton intimated from the bench that the language of the statute was confusing and the object not clear ly expressed, but otherwise gave no in timation as to the views of the court upon the various points argued. Want County Bridges. Sixty-live petitions for bridges wore presented to the grand jury last week. Among tho bridges recommended are the following: Butler township—Bridge over Kern p's run, §2OO.
