Dear Editor; Would greatly appreciate it if you would publish the following statement and oblige. G. Harold Wagner. To my friends and neighbors of Dal- las Borough. Considerable has been said both pro and con in regard to an indepen- dent ticket in Dallas Borough at the coming election, especially that of Burgess for which my name has fig- ured quite prominently. I am greatly appreciative of the dacy on an independent ticket if I would care to run, and am really quite surprised at the frank statements of several who admitted their lack ot voting and even a few who confessed to have voted against me due to mis- understandings, rumors and stories that were circulated against me. These attacks were of the most imaginative nature, some borgering on the ridicu- lous. However, I stated in the columns of The Dallas Post some two weeks be- fore the primaries that I did not care to embroil myself in a mud slinging campaign and I think Burgess Ander- son also refrained and I do not hold it against him that certain defama- tory stories circulated about town by these certain small-iry politicians who were personally afraid to come out in the open. Enough for that. Now in regard to an independent candidacy of myself. As stated above, these offers of support are very grati- fying but I decline to run, only be- cause I am wa Republican and have been a Republican since of voting age. . An Independent in politics, I take great pleasure in the fact that I was the youngest Republican District Chairman ever selected to this respon- sible party position in the Sixth Leg- islative District, of Luzerne County and I believe ever elected in Luzerne County in any Legislative District, and I fully expect, having the optimism of youth, at some later date, to aspire for office. On Primary day I approached Bur- to aspire for the office that I even allowed the use of my name. be a credit allow nimself to be swayed by any persons or group of persons having ul- terior motives contrary to the best | interests of Dallas. G. Harold Wagner. he Sr Ar mires Howard Risley, Dallas, Pa. My Dear Editor:— used against me extensively through- in a bona-fide issue, a coterie of lo- cal politicians, in attacking one of the county Republican factions, classed me as ‘a member of that faction. I wish to explain that I have had if any interest in county poli- tics for many years. If there is such a faction to-day as the Old Guard, I am not aligned with it. If there is such a contingent as the Fine-Langan faction, I am not a member of it. I have never asked favors of the latter faction, so am in no way obligated to it. I do not intend to ask any favors of it. In making these statements I am not attacking either of the big so- called factions. Their differences are matters of their-own. I am making these explanations simply because they are the truth, and as a vindication of many friends who worked for my <lection on the as- sumption that politically I was inde- pendent, As in the case with the false charge that I was factionally entangled, cer- tain local politicians have injected oth- er silly and irrelevant issues. Some of these I may possibly specify at a later date — sometime when I have nothing else to do. I do not take seriously the threat of any political youngsters te smoke me out on any issue vital to the good people of Dal- las. I have lived here and watcher the development of the place for near- ly half a century. For nearly thirty- five years I stayed on one job that of publishing a newspaper. If I have been a success or a failure in helping many offers of support to my candi- out the campaign.

And now that we are all agreed that there is nothing too good for Dallas, and that our hope of getting an ade- quate supply of good water for all the people of Dallas is practically assured through the action of the taxpayers’ association, what are the local poli- ticians going to bring up next? Some of the youngsters do not want muni- cipal ownership of the water plant. But they are wrong in their deduc- tions. Municipal ownership of the water utility in Dallas borough will come in due time, make no mistake about that. The old town is entitled to plenty of good mountain spring water without any political coloring, and at the lowest possible cost, and, God be praised, we are going to get this very thing without going to Huntsville for it.

Dallas township travels to Exeter, and Kingston town- ship is to play St. Nicholas at Wilkes- Barre, while Dallas borough is host to Lehman. . - = The ‘Dallas township games are in the nature of “warmup” games for { the bigger and stronger Exeter and St. Nicholas teams. This, of ‘course, gives rise to the oft-discussed question as to the wisdom of smaller and ligh- ter teams providing gridiron fodder for larger teams who need practice. * * * The Borough-Lehman game holds the spotlight as far as local interest is concerned since the participants are bitter rivals. This, coupled with the fact that there has been an unusually good influx of mmaterial high this year, assures a hard fought and closely contested battle this af- ternoon. We wouldn't be a bit sur- prised if the visitors should prove dis- courteous enough to hand their guests a defeat. > - -. = In a resume of last week's games we find several outstanding upsets. Nobody expected the small Hanover squad to nose out the hefty Nanticoke football team 6 to 0. It was also tak- en for granted that Plymouth would come out on the long of the score ‘with Edwardsville, At its best Plymouth was only able to hold Edwardsville on even terms until an 80-yard run by Simonwich, through most of the Ply- mouth team, won the game for Ed- wardsville, * # * Hazleton, taking on Luzerne for a practice game found that they had a Tartar on their hands, and much to their dismay found themselves on the short end of a 6 to 0 score, - = * Much to the consternation of its followers, the highly touted Pitt team was held to a 9 to 0 score by an in- spired Washington and Jefferson crew of hardy football warriors. The Pan- thers were actually outfought and held scoreless for three quarters of the game, and it was only in the last five minutes of play that the feline tribe was able to push over a touch- down, and kick a field goal, which was made by Weinstock of Wilkes- Barre. ® i . West Wyoming served notice to whomever will take heed that it in- tends to go places on the gridiron this fall when it held the higher rated Forty Fort team to a scoreless tie which amounted to more than a mere moral victory for the twin ‘“W” team. * kx * West Wyoming was defeated twice last year by the Dallas borough grid- ders. This year, however, they are not on the borough’s football schedule though Forty Fort is. It is an inter esting speculation as to how the bor- ough team will fare when they meet the Forty Fort squad. * % 0% Few rabid baseball fans venture far from the loudspeaker during these days while the World Series is being played off. * - .
