The Candidate Named.

hlISA bOnSAht5 hhAO II ICY A
ocratic heather in this Commonwealth
the Democracy turned up candidate
for the office of State Treasurer, at
Harrisburg last Wednesday. The
name of the candidate is Conrad B.
Day, Philadelphian by birth He
was born in 1882; was educated III
the common and high schools of the
city of Brotherly Love. He learned
the saddlery and carriage material
trade, and has been in the business
all his life He is looked upon as a
successful business man. His politics
has always been Democratic and the
High Priests of the Democratic State
Convention pointed with pride to the
fact that be had been one OF the
straightest of the straight of the
faithful. The Philadelphia ring that
has placed Mr.. Day in nomination
did it in a skillful manner. His was
the only name that was presented to
the convention for the office and of
course he was nominated without
dissenting vote. 1t was one of the
finest set up jobs that has taken place
in politics these many days. The
Philadelphia ring have captured the
state Democratic politicians in the
interest of Day, and now it is expect
ed that Day will capture large per-
centage of the business men, and as
he has had extensive business rela-
tions throughout the Commonwealth
with saddlers and hardware men, it is
expected that the saddlers and har-
ness men, and harness hardware
dealers out of business friendship,
will wheel into line and pin on the
Day badge and vote the Day ticket.
1t would not, however, be the first
time that men have counted without
their host ii they would vote for the
other candidate-Quay-Again Day
has been an active and prominent
member among the Masons and has
been among the fraternity in many !
of the counties of the state, which |
fact is believed will help him at the
poles. Taking all in all Day is look
ed upon by the Democracy as the
coming Treasurer. There is not a
great deal of difference between the
sound of the name Day and Quay,
but there is enough of difference in
other particulars to cause the people |
next November at tine poles to SO
vote that when the result of the vote
is counted it will not be Day but be
Quay.
