make cranking a little less difficult.
A new coat of paint, a little brass
license
plates will make it as good as new.
The machine . . which must
have cost about $900, 30 years ago,
is built along lofty, aristocratic lines.
Its squared tipped fenders are a
good three feet from the road, above
spindly carriage wheels with 3-inch
tires, and the leather top, which
comes to a peak above the rear
seat, is as high as a good man can
reach with up-stretched arms.
The hood, which houses a com-
pact little four-cylinder engine, is
shaped like a pentagon, and is front-
ed with headlamps that look like the
binnacles of an old square rigger.
These are fed with Prestolite from
a tank on the right running board,
and have to be lighted by hand.
The rear light is a separate unit
and has a handy little fish-oil tank
above the reflector. The wind-
shield is as big as the average
small store display window, and in
one corner is the remains of an
American flag sticker which may
have been pasted on it back in 1917,
The car is a trifle rusty from dis-
use, having been housed in a barn
since 1928, but Mr. Cooke figures a
good scraping and a coat of paint
will care for that. The brass work
on the hood and lights is slightly
tarnished, but a polishing rag will
make it shine bravely as ever.
In order to run it at night, Mr.
Cooke will have to install electric
lights . . . but aside from that the
machine should pass inspection
beautifully. The Ford, says Mr.
Cooke, is not for sale . . . but if any-
one is interested in a fairly new
Chevrolet, he has one sitting out in
his side yard.

THE LISTENING POST
By THE VETERAN
Two “Union Now” movements
suffered severe set-backs from the
impact of blows delivered directly in
politics and in fraternal circles as-
sociated with politics of recent days.
The Junior O. U. A. M. whose chief
officer is a brother-in-law of Gover-
nor Arthur H. James made national
rejection of the proposal that the
United States unite with England.
The Republican Party of Luzerne
followed a national rejection of final
union with the James Administra-
tion,
Ralph Morris, of the James
household, may be considered as a
maker of policy for the Juniors.
That patriotic fraternity, raised
Morris to high highest office only
after he became a key-man of the
James Administration. So, the trend
toward support of England is not as
sweeping a movement as might have
been supposed; not if the Juniors
are rightly credited with being one
of the most influential of patriotic
fraternities. In their resolution of
rejection they plainly said that
“Union Now” would reduce Amer-
ica to the status of a British colony.
In the second phase of discussion
there can be no doubt that the
James wish to nominate Judge An-
drew Hourigan for Orphans Court
| was fulfilled through the Primary
balloting, but finally it is known
that the favor for Hourigan was not
so much a tender to James as it
was to the publishers of Wilkes-
Barre’s daily press, to Percy A.
Brown and Sixth District Chairman
Peter D. Clark... Even so, in Clark’s
home district Tom Lewis was able to
catch up with and overcome Judge
Hourigan.
Straws In The Wind
But the real story came out this
week. It was found between the
lines that scored the majority bal-
lots given Earl V. Compton against
Justice William Parker of the Penn-
sylvania Supreme Court. Compton
defeated Justice Parker in Luzerne
County. And Parker was appoint-
ed from the Superior Court to be-
come a Supreme Justice. Governor
James wanted him nominated.
When the vote in Luzerne County
showed rejection there was check of
the vote in other counties and dis-
covery that excepting for the fol-
lowing James had with the Manu-
facturers Association, Joe Pew, Joe
Grundy and others in the most pop-
ulous counties, Parker would have
been defeated and Earl Compton
nominated.
Who is Earl Compton? =A mere
assistant to the District Attorney of
Dauphin County. But, he finally
turns out to be the stalking horse
of United States Senator James J.
Davis, a test runner to give Davis an
idea of what he may be able to do
next year in a race for Governor.
Senator Davis is amply satisfied.
The nod for Compton was given as
late as the day before the Primary.
Its direct meaning was that if the
Senator Davis endorsement of an
assistant district attorney of obscure
political status could endanger the
safety of a Justice of the Supreme
Court, then Senator Davis himself as
» sponsor could take the gubernatorial
nomination next year.
You may as well get used to the

idea. Davis, if he survives, and if
the political system survives, will be
Republican nominee for Governor.
Moreover, Luzerne County, by act-
ually smothering Justice Parker un-
der an avalanche of Primary votes,
will be back in place as a political
bailiwick that will dictate the choice
of the Davis running-mate.
Flannery Popular With Miners
The Flannery-Bonin ticket receiv-
ed fresh impetus toward success in
the general election by action at the
United Mine Workers convention.
For the most part the action was
either unreported in the press or
garbled by word-of-mouth circula-
tion. The story most heard, in Re-
publican circles, was that Flannery
had been rejected as a judicial can-
didate. The true story is given this
commentator by no one other than
the presiding officer of the conven-
tion, First District President Michael
J. Kosik. Here's what Kosik has to
say:
‘J. Harold Flannery received from
the miners’ convention the greatest
ovation ever given a political figure
since President Roosevelt himself
was guest of the union workers. The
applause was deafening, By unani-
mous vote the senior partner of the
Flannery-Bonin ticket was named
the best friend the common man
and the average American have had
in the history of Luzerne County.
“There was no formal endorse-
ment of the Flannery-Bonin: ticket.
There couldn’t be a. formal endorse-
ment. That is against the rules of
the union. It is opposed by the con-
stitution and by-laws. But, so far as
the public could be advised, the
Flannery campaign for the judiciary
in Luzerne County was given God-
speed. If an endorsement had been
permissable, it would have been
given but in its absence it is the
proud belief of the working people,
the majority people including those
who mark the trend of good govern-
ment, that the ticket with J. Har-
old Flannery will sweep the county
elections.”
The minutes of the mine workers
meeting can be seen. There is no
need to doubt the truth or to be
misled by partisan falsehoods.
Boom In Mining Machinery
A mighty surge of machinery buy-
ing is prevalent among the contract-
ors in Luzerne County, especially
those who have business associa-
tion with the production of anthra-
cite. The general belief that men
are turning away from the mines,
that immigration has petered out
and no fresh common labor is to be
had, can be taken as cause of grad-
ual transition of anthracite opera-
tions toward mechanical production
to replace absent manual resources.

tion through the then almost im-
passable Back Mountain territory.
The four sons of Fred Franklin
were all prominent and well-liked
men in this section, but none of
them, for some reason or another,
took to the land as did their father
. though Jim was a laborer on
John Ryman’s place for a year or
so after his marriage. Jim is the
last of the boys, with Wililam O.,
Asa Packer and Harry Mackey
Franklin now but friendly memories
to the local people who knew them
years ago.
Jim and his wife, the former Em-
ma DeMond, after whose people the
Demunds section was named, were
married in Dallas on December 17,
1892. Their first home was the
house on Mill street now occupied
by Mrs. E. Van Horn, but when
Mr. Franklin's father passed away in
1915, they moved to their present
home on Franklin street. It was, in-
cidentally, the first house to be built
in that section.
Their three children were born
and raised ‘here, and still live near
the old family home. Mrs. Anna
Kinsman is the elder . . . and lives
the farthest from home, down in
Trucksville. William J. Franklin
lives on Cemetery street and Arthur
B. Franklin on Elizabeth street, in
the Parrish Heights section. Jim
and his wife have five grandchil-
dren, too, and even a great grand-
son: The grandchildren are Mrs.
Ruth Bytheway of Trucksville, Mrs.
Thomas Landon of Kunkle, Sergeant
Charles Kinsman, stationed at Fort
Benning, Georgia, James G. and
William Clayton Franklin, both of
Dallas, and the great grandson is
Charles George ' Bytheway of
Trucksville. When all of them get
together . . . as they frequently do
. they make a fine and happy
family group; the fourth generation
member usually sits’ on Jim's knee,
making him feel very aged, but also
very pleased with himself.
Though Jim has always been a

Woman Is Buried
Mrs. Emma Alden, mother of Mrs.
Henry Elston of Chase and Mrs.
Charles Ayres, former resident of
Trucksville, was buried in Shawnee
Cemetery, Plymouth, Wednesday af-
ternoon following funeral services at
the home of Mrs. Elston. Rev. G.
H. Bucher, pastor of Plymouth Pres-
byterian Church, officiated.
Mrs. Alden passed away of natural
causes Sunday night in Chase,
where she had made her home for
the past three years. She was 70
years old.
Born in Plainsville, the deceased
spent most of her life in Plymouth,
and was a member of the First Pres-
byterian Church of that community.
When her husband, the late John
Alden of Plymouth, passed away
several years ago, she came to live
in Trucksville with her daughter,
Mrs. Ayres, and moved to Chase in
1938.
In her years here she made many
friends, to whom her death was a
deep bereavement.
She is survived by the following
daughters, Mrs. Elston, Mrs. Ayres,
now of Newark, N. J., Mrs. Ethel
Jones, also of Newark, and Mrs.
Jennie Kirkham of Plainfield, N. J.,
two sisters, Mrs, Mary Kerschner of
Kingston and Mrs. Laura Scott of
Philadelphia, and four grandchil-
dren, among them Robert Elston of
Chase.
Roller Skating Party
Mrs. George Metz, chairman of
Dallas District Girl Scouts, announc-
es a roller skating party for all girl
scouts and friends at the Sandy
Beach rink, Harvey’s Lake, on Sat-
urday afternoon, September 27th, at
2 o'clock. Girls will contact their
leaders or committee chairlady re-
garding transportation. Miss Flor-
ence. Hausch is chairman of the
party.
Announces Engagement
Mr. and Mrs. Stephen L. Ward of
Alderson have announced the en-
gagement of their daughter, Lillian
Louise, to Sgt. Richard O. Huddy,
son of Mr. and Mrs. R. Huddy of
John street, Kingston. Sgt. Huddy is
stationed at Fort Belvoir, Va. No
date has been set for the wedding.
ley, and expects to stick with his
job for years to come.
Jim is a great joiner. Now one
of the oldest members of Oneida
Lodge No. 371 . . , of which he has
been secretary for the past 31 years
. he has also belonged to many |»
other fraternal groups, among them
the Schelmar of Wilkes-Barre and
the former Dallas Lodge 281, Jr. O.
U. A. M. He was a great bandsman
in his day, and played the bass horn
in the old Dallas band for many
years. After 25 years of bass horn
work, however, he left music when
he had to get false teeth, believing
the plates would mar his perform-
ance. f
Jim has a consuming interest in|
church work and is one of the more
prominent and active members of
Dallas Methodist Church. He teaches
the Ladies’ Bible Class, was once a
trustee of the church and for many
years sang in its choir.
He has had two terms as a Coun-
cilman, and last election he polled
more votes than any other candi-
date has ever amassed in the history
of the borough. While he is retir-
ing from Council this year for good,
he still holds his position as presi-
dent of the Board of Health and
hopes to continue to serve his com-
munity in that respect for many
years to come.
Frequently, Jim’s boys have tried
to convince him that he’s too old to
work and ought to retire. But Jim
says that kind of talk is plain fool-
ishness. “Why should I quit work-
ing,” he says, “when I feel too good
to just sit around?”
