DR.. L. H. Harris generally objects to
being interviewed, but in this case freely
said: 'The Hon. John Dalzel needs no
certificate Of character to entitle him to any
position within the gift of the people of
Western Pennsylvania His record both
in public or private life has never been
questioned
"He Is an intelligent and profound
thinker, brilliant and entertaining writer,
fluent and forcible speaker, and always on
the alert for the interests of his constituents.
He is generally correct in his diagnosis of q
case, and thorough in the course of treat
ment prescribed to remedy the ills from
which any constituent suffers He is man
Of exceptionally rare ability and of peculiar
fitness to represent this Commonwealth in
the United States Senate. and if an election
thereto depended upon the votes of the bust
ness men in this city he would be assured of
an overwhelming majority. The selection
of men of questionable character for promi-
nent positions has alienated many votes
from the Republican party, mine among the
number, and such votes can only be regained
by recognizing ability and fitness in party
nominations. 1t is we'll enough to say
principles not men, but equally well to
recognize the fact that men should embody
principles worthy Of support"
sound on All Questions.
W. II. Keech. the furniture and carpet
dealer, an active Republican and an earnest
advocate of John Dalzell's election to the
Senate, said:
II am heartily in favor of Mr.. Dalzell for
United States Senator, for the following rea-
sons:
"First-He is man endowed with all the
attributes of thorough statesman
sSecoDd-Ha has tho moral oo,1rooo -,
stand defeat rather than do wrong.
''Third-He is sound on all questions DO
litically concerning the welfare of our
State.
'tFourth-He has served his constituents
in an able, honorable way, that justifies
him in asking their support for higher Of
fee.
'sFifth-He is gentleman of high moral
standing in the community where his career
as citizen, a lawyer and statesman has
few equals and no superiors"
Ranks With Leading Statesmen.
Prot. W. J. White, Secretary of Duffss
Business College, said: 'T regard the
Hon. John Dalzell as the Chevalier Bayard
in the present political history of Pennsyl-
vania-swithout reproach. Conscientious
in the discharge of every duty, and under
all circumstances. His pre-eminent ability
is well known throughout our State. Since
he entered Congress he has been winning
national reputation faster than any man
who ever preceded him. He ranks TODAY
as one of our leading statesmen. He be-
heves that every citizen owes this Govern
ment q certain amount of service and should
contribute share of his time and talents to
its proper maintenance, as a Government of
the people, by the people and for the
people 1 know he sacrificed highly
profitable legal practice to represent
the people of this district in the
Lower House. He has done this so ably
and with SO much credit to himself and his
constituents that he has demonstrated his
fitness for seat in the Upper House. Now
that he has consented to be candidate for
the United States Senate, it cannot be ex-
pected of him to make an unseemly scramble
for the position. People who can and do
appreciate him at his proper worth must
show it by assisting in creating popular
movement in his behalf When such man
is willing to devote himself to the service
of his State and community, believe it is
the duty Of every citizen to take deep per-
sonal interest in his success, to endorse
him openly and fearlessly and to use all
honorable means to secure his election.
The triumph of such men as Mr.. Dalzell
tends to elevate and purify our entire polit-
ical system and to make it the ideal one of
the civilized world"
Clean, True, Fair and Worthy.
Rev. Richard s. Holmes, L. L. D., of the
Shadyside Presbyterian Church, in speak
ing of Mr. Dalzell, says: "T can only say
my sympathy is with every effort made to
present Hon. John Dalzell as a worthy rep
resentative of the interests of this great
in the Senate of the United
States My acquaintance with Mr.. Dalzell
is not of long standing, but of such knowl-
edge as I can get of him and his record in
with the administration of pub
lie affairs, I am satisfied he is clean, true,
fair and worthy. 1t is my purpose to vote
for no man for State Legislature who will |
not 60 on record as to his action in the Leg |
islature as to Mr.. Dalzell's candidacy for
United States Senator. As lifelong Re- |
publican I infinitely prefer Democrat in |
the Senate to any man who will be likely |
TO continue the political methods which |
have made Pennsylvania politics stencil |
in the notrils of honesty. sincerely hope |
success may crown the work, and such in |
auence as may legitimately WELD in con-
nection with a life outside of political en-
I shall exert most cheerful1y |
in behalf of Hon. John Dalzell."
A Champion OF Industry.

lc over the prospect of securing q represen-
ative such as he would make He is bright, |
courageous, and above all an earnest cham |
oion Of the various interests that go to make
his the greatest State in the union. John |
Dalzell should have the solid delegation

,itizens of this county in honor to them
elves should see that he gets it,
