The Republican Senate will inves
tigate the Auditor General and Stat
Treasurer and that takes the win,
out OF Governor Pattison's politica
campaign sail
If there is anything crooked il
the management of the Auditor Gen
eral and State Treasurer departments
the republicans are as anxious tc
have it revealed as any other people
JOIN D. ROCKEFELLER, who has the
largest annual income of any man il
America has spent the summer work
ing on his Ohio farm, just as if he was
common laborer, and doing quite as
much labor as any of his hired men.
He has done it in the pursuit of
health"
Now boys, don't all start for Lin.
coin, Kan, to propose marriage when
you are told that one of the most
productive farms near that city is
titled by Miss Hannah Baker, daugh-
ter of Congressman Baker. Miss
Baker wears trousers like O man,
plows, sows and reaps, and, with the
aid OF another woman, does all the
field work on her 14O acre farm
which she owns free of debt. She
Is but "a years old, and has been
farmer four years.
PREVIOUS to the opinion of the
Supreme Court reversing Judge
Bucher in the MIflintown bridge
case, a good deal of unfair election
eering had been done against Mr..
Lyons. An effort WAS made to have it
appear that it was his fault that such
a large verdict was obtained against
the county for the bridge. Judge
Paxton's opinion however proves that
such was not the case, for his op-
inion states that Judge Bucher was
reversed because he would not admit
the sworen statement of the bridge
officers as to the value of the bridge
stock 1t WAS Mr.. Lyons who want
ed to present the statement of the
officers of the bridge company as to
the value of the stock as evidence to
base a verdict on, but he was ruled
out by Buoher. No the boot is on |
the other leg. If the evidence that
Mr. Lyons proposed toi offer and
"H'a 'hs ".'.-: ....:on of the Supreme !
Court clearly shows that he was cor
rect in offering, had been accepted
by Bucher the verdict would have
been different and Bucher would not
nave Deen reversed.
MUCtuar clubs are being organiz-
ed in Snyder, Union and Miffiin
counties by republicans as means
to present Judge Bucher from run
ming away with the district the third
time. Judge Bucher's fine spun
theory Of a non PARTISAN campaign
means that everybody that it is pos
sible to influence shall be worked in
to voting for the Democratic ticket.
In the judges mind that is a good
thing when it is to elect democrats
to Office, but it is dreadful thing
when it is to be applied to the cleo
tion of Republicans. The Republi-
cans of the district are in a majority
and outside of the district it is !
matter of general wonder that they !,
have permitted Bucher to take them
by their political nose and lead |
them into the de2ocretic fold Just
every time it suits him to do 80. |
But within the past ten days the
Republicans have changed their
minds and they are now going into
the contest like men of courage.
Juniata Republicans are always cour-
ageous. but just now they may get
some inspiration from the manner in
which the Bucher district republi-
osns are going into the contest.
The Republicans in Juniata have a
number one ticket and the thing to
do is TO battle for IFS election
