The Republicans OF Lehighton are to be com.
mended for presenting ticket % the people to
be voted for at next Tuesdays election which
business tack and ability, and is fully worthy
OF the support of every honest. conscientious
taxpayer who desires good honest government
OF local affairs. The New LehlghtOn, now in

is placed In the hands OF men who have the
proper spirit, push and Wins and who possess
qualifications necessary 10 correctly cQnduct lis
affairs TO the best Interests Of each and every
taxpayer without special privileges TO any set or
class Of individual property holders. 1t IS ndis-
putable that the partisan government OF the
