GETTING INTERESTED.
The Political Situation Has Become very
Warm.

The Political situation HAS Become very
Warm.
The stand the Polish and Lithuanian
people have taken in the political campaign
has made the Democrats exceedingly uncom'
Portable They have pretended to be in
different over the actions Of these people, but
it is clear that they see they have lost con.
ground. Within the last few days
they have taken desperate measures to regain
what has slipped from them and to do this
they are appealing to every trick that can be
devised to raise prejudice. To tell the truth
they are at their wits end for some plausible
argument to stem the tide of Polish and
Lithuanian votes, but it is hardly probable
that any scheme they can device will avail
anything The Poles and Lithuanian say
they have been fooled long enough and come
what may they will stand by the Republican
ticket this fall.
One of the most aggressive Democrats of
the town yesterday admitted that its party is
more frightened this year than in any county
campaign for years
The Mulholland and Toole people seem to
be the hardest workers in this section. They
have been working day and night for the
past week and it is quite evident from their
actions that they are still by no means
confident. They are nervous, and it is said
that everything is being sacrificed to save
Mulholand and ToOle.
There is no doubt that seltzer is among the
most popular of all the candidates. When
the polls close next Tuesday night the re-
turns will surprise the people who thought
Mr., Settlers candidacy was waste of time.
Severn, Decher, Deegan and Bierstein are
also showing up in excellent shape and it
would not be surprising to those who have
watched the progress of the campaign if
they should run ahead of the ticket north OF
the mountain.
One thing can be relied upon. The full
Republican ticket will receive the almost
entire Polish and Lithuanian vote. The
leaders of these people are not wasting time
making idle boasts or building castles in the
air; they are hard at work among theil
people and when approached they say to the
Democrats, ''No, we can't support you this
year" This they have stated privately and
publicly time and again to soliciting candi
dates and even the most rosy promises of fat
borough officers for several prominent Poles
and Lithuanians next spring have failed t.
change this decision.
The Democrats realize this, but have moi
given up hope and almost their entire strength
is being turned to "tatfying" the Poles ant
Lithuanians of this town And while they
are engaged i'm this work the Republicans ar,
pulling down fences put up in other quarters
which will not be realized until it is too late
to repair the damage.
1t does not require prophet or son Of {
prophet to see that Rentz and Allen will b,
members of the new board of County Com
missioners.
Heretofore all the Democratic candidate
having been travelling over the county in
body in greatest-show. on.earth STYLE bu
since the true situation has dawned upol
them the show has cancelled all dates an,
now every candidate is for himself
If the Republicans do their duty mex
Tuesday they will be in a position to carr.
this county every fall hereafter.
The news from below the mountain is jus
as encouraging as that which comes from al
parts of the upper district. Pottsville will
give a Republican majority Of from 500 t
1000.
Republicans should take no stock in tn
false spirit of confidence shown by some O
the Democratic leaders. When they smil
and tell you you're not in it," make u
your mind they are trying to hide their owl
nervousness. Vote for the full Republica
ticket and be on the winning side.
