POLITICS IN
THE COUNTY
Democrats Have Ho Doubt
of Tomorrow's Result.
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 township school board was held

Wilde, of the Pardee Company.

helm and Carr opening for the cotnmon
wealth and Congressman Olmsted for
the corporations. Attorney General

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.

bench that the language of the statute
was confusing and the object not clear
ly expressed, but otherwise gave no in
