TT mr re RR i eee | { | | A Sey Clark Naméd Treasurer Of Luzerne County « (Continued from Page One) entrenched greed and power. He aspired for a seat on Dallas Borough Council and along with other “in- dependent” candidates for school board and borough offices was swept into office by an aroused electorate. Since that time he has been con- tinued on Council, serving several terms as chairman. In 1938, re- buked and unrecognized = by the county heads of the Republican party, he defeated the organization candidate for the chairmanship of the Sixth Legislative District. He was reelected in 1940 and again in 1942. Not primarily a politician, but a businessman and citizen in- terested first of all in the welfare of his home community, he has been carried further and further into pol- itics by the opposition of the county machine. Being a fighter he has sometimes played the game with the same pawns, winning where less determined men have been snowed under or sacrificed personal honor in a compromise. If his appoint- ment means harmony in the Re- publican party it is because the county organization recognizes the need of men like Pete Clark on its ticket, not because he has sacrificed any of the basic principals that have carried him through many dirty fights. As one man summed it up when he heard of the appointment, “Some folks will call ‘Pete’ a politician now, but if he is, it is because the American system has made him so. I was with him when he started and I'm back of him now. Maybe both of us have lost something on the way, but neither of us has lost our belief in the fundamental right of Americans to govern themselves.” Editorial Comment The Wilkes-Barre Record said of the appointment: “As to the politi- cal implications . . . assurances were given that it (the appointment) was intended to promote harmony and not factionalism. Governor Martin is said to have made it clear before the vacancy was filled that he was interested in a strong party for the purposes of the fall elec- tions with a view to the presidential elections next year. Therefore the Clark appointment has been re- ceived by the politically minded as a sign that opposing Republican | slates, representing State and local organizations, will not be project- ed in Luzerne country this fall . . . the Governor emphasized to county leaders that it would not be the beginning of an independent state slate.” The Times-Leader said: “ ... he will discharge his duties to the sat- isfaction of the public and with credit to himself. Young, intelli- gent, forceful, Mr. Clark has all the earmarks of an excellent treasurer.” In its March 12th issue the Dallas Post said editorially: One of the cleanest cut leaders this region has produced is Peter D. Clark . .. we'd like to see him screw up the cour- age to go after it (a county office) . . . We know the community will back him.” NOXEN Alice Rundell spent two weeks in New York City.
