that the record should be exposed,
mainly to refute erroneous Impressions,
and, incidentally, that the Taxpayers
may see ~ who represented their in

Mr.. Frost several very pertinent
questions which couple of Cumber-
land lawyers can't answer.

Mr.. Brace must go to Oder and Car
roll to have them verify the correct.
ness of certain statements concerning
his record on the ventilation act. The
reagon is--Mr. Brace seems to have
more confidence ia their records than
in his own.
Common Sense" calls it "demo-
cratic ventilation" Is it because the
State is democratic and the Legisla-
ture democratic? If SO, how does he
expect to get republican ventilation
from such political dispensaries?
A correspondent intimates very

"sledge," writing from Eckhart
says "Clearfeld is 500,000 tons short
of last year." On the contrary, Clear
field is over 100000 tons ahead.
However, we will give ten dollars for
the first Photographic copy of the
scene wherein Mr.. Brace figures as
an expounder of IS cents per ton in
Clearfeld and West Virginia.
So far as Democrats" criticism in
the Homecoming Review refers to us

DoN'T believe single word you
hear against the JOURNAL editor be-

Any report, current or undercur-

Braces friends it is political life or
death for him; this is the turning
point; his success means the compile

it serves their purpose.
Remember, if he is elected his
grandest triumph will be over pow

cruel SANDER Of the democratic
nominee will secure and promote
that triumph his henchrnen will re-

Voting miners, friends of the JOUR-

All we ask is-don't believe them,
and vote accordingly.
WITH respect to the Fuller-Braoe
expose elsewhere printed, it is proper
to state that Gel tain omissions, in3i-
