The issues are of sufficient import to claim the attention of citizens, voters and parties. President Hoover was swept into the presidency on a definite platform. The redemption of these pledges to the country depends on backing him with support in congress. The presi- dent is a Depublican, was elected by Republicans and needs the support of Repukblicans to carry out his policies. The tariff is one of the important planks in the platform of the Republi- can, party. The party stands for a policy that means the protection of American labor, American business and American products. There is no hope of such protection in the election of a Democrat to Congress. President Hoover cannot look for any help in the redemption of his party pledges if Democrats are named to legislate in the House of Representatives or the Senate. The success of the Hoovel administration demands the backing o1 Hoover. The only safe and sane way to back Hoover is to elect Republicans to Congress. A protective tariff, such as Hoover and the party stands for is a safe- guard to the industrial prosperity of Luzerne county. This county is mainly industrial. Its principal pro- duct is coal. ‘When the coal market slumps, when the mines are idle all branches of activity feel it. The an- thracite industry is in a critical state. The last big strike all but ruined the market. Hard coal is in competition with many substitutes, fighting for its very life. In addition, it has the com- petition of Russian and Welsh coal, which is pouring into this country in great shiploads. Foreign coal is the product of cheap labor. It is finding its way into the old anthracite mar- ket and is threatening to kill the mar- ket for Luzerne’s own product. The only way to protect the home product and safeguard the industry is a pro- tective tariff. That js what Republi- cans are working for; that is what the party has pledged. Democrats are op- posed, to such a tariff. They want to open wide the gate of entry so that Europe’s cheap labor may send its products here to ruin our own products and our own markets. The worker, the farmer, the business man, the merchant then have a common bond of interest in Republican. policies. Dr. C. Murray Turpin is the nominee of the Republican party in Luzerne county for congressman. He 45" a thorough Republican and always has been. He is pledged to all the planks in the Republican platform by which Herbert Hoover became the choice of the nation. He is pledged to back Hoover with his vote and his support. He is pledged to a protective tariff, to the protection of our own industrial activities and development. No Demo- ‘crat can make a like pledge for the eDmocratic . party is opposed to such policies. J Republicans will have the opportun- ity on June 4 of sending a Republican to Congress. Luzerne county is the only congressional district in the State that elected a Democrat to Congress in the last general election. The na- tion and the State have their eyes on Luzerne just now. There is the hope elect Dr. Turpin as the representative of this overwhelming Republican dis- trict in the special sesion of Congress now convened. ; —AN INTERESTED CITIZEN. ete eet -Alderson- —_—O— In spite of the wet weather Con- tractor Coons has started to lay cement on the Wardan Place-Alderson road.

We wonder what his next cap- ture will be. Hope it won't be that black and white striped member of the cat family.

Up- on hearing the policeman’s whistle at West Wyoming Corners he immediately put on speed and endeavored to run away from the officer. ; Upon being apprehended, he told the officer that the reason he attempted to run away was that he was informed by a police officer near Dallas that in case of an automobile arrest, if the offender could reach the limits of anothier municipality he would be immune from arrest. Told by the West Wyoming officer that he could pay a nice fine of $14.50, the young man is now sadder but wiser. , The Congressional Fight Due to the death of Congressman Mr. John, J. Casey, on Tuesday, June 4, we will elect a congressman. to repre- sent this district. The' people of this district were almost unanimous for the Republican nominee at the last election and me- thinks that they will turn out just as strong or at least stronger and en- deavor once again to put the new nominee, 'C. Murray Turpin, across as the winner. : Receives Donation It was reported ‘down town this week ‘that the Republican <Conrgress has passed an appropriation in favor of Mrs. John Casey, widow of the late congressman, the full sallary of the entire term. This action of congress should be commended. Baseball Agitation We have heard guite a bit about the local base ball team and we are one hundred per cent in favor of it. Now that the ball is rolling, lets keep it going. Firemen Dance On account of going to press we do not have a story on the firemen’s dance. However we attended and a good crowd was there. Thomas Higgins was very active in making the affair a success and so were all of the active boys in the company. . Political Pot Commencing To Boil The local political pot is starting to boil around the corner. We hear that there is a movement on foot to trot out a new candidate for burgess, one that not been mentioned heretofore. Several persons are insisting that Burgess Anderson aspire for reelection. At this writing however the burgess has shown no inclination to run. Harold Rood seems to be the only avowed candidate at this time. For School Director While not having been spoken to by the writer nor having shown any in- clination to aspire for school director, we feel that we have the best interests of the town at heart when we suggest the name of our townsman, A. L. Tur- ner for school director. Mr. Turner is an attorney of ability and a good business man anl that is what we need on our schocl board. We know that Mr. Turner turned down the proposition the last time he was approached and he will probably do the same thing again. Nevertheless we feel that he could be of great help to the school district if he would consent to run for the office, ~-Meeker— Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sarber have moved to Easton, where they will re- main for four years.
