Lehman \ a co CONTEMPTIBLE TYPE CAMPAIGN : Jespecially apt and to the point at this time and in this section is the editorial in the Wilkes-Barre Record for August 15. It speaks so well and SO emphatically not only the sentiments of the Post but of every just--minded citizen, that we quote it in full: y ; “As far as we can find out, the type of trickery exhibited in the filing of nomination papers for persons whose names are the same as those of bona fide candidates, or nearly the same, originated in Luzerne County. The ruse was never more brazenly employed or in as many instances as in this pre- primaries campaign. At the last :moment for filing nomination papers numerous surprises were sprung in the discovery of papers beaing the namesf pe-- ‘sons who had not been mentioned for the offices but similar to the names of persons who had been mentioned for weeks prior to the last day for filing. 1 “The purpose in all or in most instances is to confuse the voters. If Mar- tin Durland is a bona fide candidate and on the last day papers bearing the ‘name of Martin Dorland, and M. J. Darland are filed, many citizens will vote for the latter in mistake for the candidate. There may be honest similarity of names in occasional instances, but it is well known that this form of trickery is resorted to for the sole purpose of defeating bona fide can- : ‘didates. » i ; “It is a vicious, foul, dirty method of campaigning. It cannot be stopped unless corruptp methods in inducing fake candidates to enter a contest are dis- i covered. 3 real } But people can make diligent inquiry where similarity of names appears and find out who are the real candidates and who are under | suspicion as, being the stools of political crooks. That should ‘be done in this campaign.” THE WEATHER—HOW PECULIAR The rain over the week-end and following, answered the praVer of some The fanous back-yar vegetable gardener, the | | and brought despair to others. dahlia enthusiasts and the farmers with yellowing--green corn fields all Sans a joyful sonz of praise and thanksgiving to the little rain-drops. 0A But, the road superviscrs almost tore their hair in dissappointedment, and) started in to repair as rapidly as possible the damage these same rain-drops had done to Nerton avenue. chagrin of the Dallas nine out on the new diamond. \ game an unknown quantity the shower paused long enough to give the teams time to finish the fifth inning, thus making it a game and Dallas’ loss.
