VOTE FoR YOUR INTERESTS

Next Tuesday will be election day,
Ahd the intelligent voters of Carbon
county will be called upon to decide
Hwho shall represent them in the next
session of the state Legislature. There
are three candidates, William T.. BieTy,
Democratic; John w. Heller, Prohibi-
tion; and Benz. J. Kuntz, Republicau
Whilst we believe that Mr.. Heller, who
is an estimable gentleman, will poll
nice complimentary vote, yet there is
no possibility of his election, and the
contest is practically between w. r.
Biery and B. ]. Kuntz. Which of the q
two will he elected ? If the election is
honest w. F. Biery will be elected
Our Republican friends however u.g
unscruplous; money probably will pe
used plentifully. The prize is worth
fighting for and it is said that duriug
the last days Doodle will be thrown iu-
to'eeVeral districts where it will do the
most good; disreputable voters are 90
crowd the booths 10 delay the voting
Of the intelligent Democrats aud Re
Publicans, and thus, by the pursuit Of
methods that are questionable and dis
honest they hope TO insure the election
of Benz Kuntz who is cutting very
sorry figure in his poise as the friend
OF the down trodden laborer But Mr.
huntz will not be elected, these dis
honest methods will not prevail aud
Mr.. Biery, the Democratic candidate,
who is the poor mans candidate iu
fact, will be handsomely elected by hc
old time party majority. The people
can not be fooled; they know that ir
Ben Kuntz is elected he will vote for
Matt Quay and then alas for the com
mon people. Matt Quay is % heavy
Reading stockholder and it is even
limited that Mr.. Kuntz has also IA num-
Der of the famous Reading shares in
his possession. Ben must vote for
Quay and they will of course both look
) after the interests Of the Reading Com
pany. Both men must be defeated.
IL the common people know their in
terests they will vote to a unit for Mr..
VIM. F. Biery who is pledged 10 vote
against any and all measures that will
likely come up to legalize the Reading
railroad deal. He will also use his eff
forts to have a law adopted TO compel
railroads in this state to adopt "A uni
form method of coupling cars, he viii
champion law to prevent Sunday
work on railroads; he will urge the
passage of bill that will prevent rail
road companies from working their
employees more than a certain num-
ber Of hours without a reasonable
amount Of rest; Mr., Biery is no hypo
critic, he can be depended ON TO act in
the interests Of the common people as
whole and not in bigoted PARTISAN
D-'1TaRre-. Closely identified with the
masses, be feels and knows their in
tsrests and will be their champion in
the halls Of the Legislature, where he
can do the most good If you as a
~YOter, are awake 10 the necessity of re-
form In the state and national admins
tration YOU viii certainly vote for Mr.
Blery for the legislature because he is
your friend; he is honesti he is intelli-
cent: he is capable and is positively
seaipst the corrupt methods Of the
notorious Matt Quay. There is no de-
cit IN Mr. Biery's views on any issues
nov before the people. He is with the
common people, not because he is a
y csn5i5ote mt because he is awake to
