ALLEN CRAIG IS THE MAN FOR JUDoI


To the Editor Of the CARBON ADVOCATE:
It gives me much pleasure to note
that the CARBON ADVOCATE has been
such warm friend and advocate of
the election Of Hon. Allen Craig for
Judge Of the Carbon.--Monroe District
Il Is greatly to the ADVOCATES credit
that Il stands so squarely by the Carbon
candidate, as we'll on the score of
home pride, as it is for the especial fit
ness OF the nominee that was so unani-
mously named by the regular Demo
cratic County Convention. Keep up
this good fight, friend Mortimer, aud
/ firmly believe that on Tuesday next
will see the election of Allen Craig as
Judge Of the above mentioned District.
Every voter in Carbon county who
values a non-partisian Judge, in all
that the term implies, as well as for the
brilliant legal attainments and the high
personal honesty of the candidate,
will certainly cast a vote for Allen
Craig, for he comes under these es-
peciaI qualifications have just named.
No man likes to see a Judge on the
bench who is guilty of the low political
soheming that the appointed Judge
the Hon. John b. Storm, has given
evidence Of to the people at large, by
the way he euchered MIR. Craig out of
his proper place on the Democratic
ticket, and compelled him to go before
the people on "nominatlon papers"
1t was trick too, that the legal author
tiles at the State Capital should be
as hamed of, and as Democrat l must
say It was a mighty small piece of bust
ness for Cassidy or Pattison, or who
ever it was that did it, to be engaged in.
It was not square deal and in their
secret hearts they know it.
Both Craig and Storm stood equally
before the people in this matter, neither
4 had been able to have their conferees
agree, each had received the nomina.
tion Of their party in their respective
counties. But, as your manv intel-i.
gent readers are aware Of this slight of
hand game on the part of Judge Storm
and his backer, / shall not go into the
details.
The election Of Mr.. Craig should be
an assured fact if the voters Of Carbon
county do their duty, irrespective Of
party; for not only has it more voters
than Monroe, but home pride in so
a candidate as Mr. Craig should
ce every mau in his own county to
Tor him.
Republican candidate, while a
man in many respects, seems to
een put up on the promise Of
m a certain Democratic faction.
B by this time doubtless been
nnding out that their promises were a
delusion and a snare. Hence voters in
his lHeydt's) party will do their candi-
date good turn by throwing their
support to Mr.. Crrig, as he has prim-
arlly the most supporters in the county
and better prospect of election as
between Mr.. Craig and Mr. Heydt. If
they do not they will probably have the
pleasure Of sesing Judge Storm on the
Bench, which from all accounts not a
aingls Republican or good Democrat
IN Carbon county desires. Don't throw
vote away on any candidate, 60 it
straight for Allen Craig.
The election, therefore, Of Allen
Craig would give Carbon county its
nrat Judge since it was formed almost
atty years ago. This home pride in a
candidate who was born aud grows up
10 the county where he practiced his
profession, has been potent factor in
the election Of men IN other places
and why should 1t not be so in Carbon
county on Tuesday nextg think il
win be, because as an old Mauch
Chunker, where was born and raised
have seen men who stand by one an,
other regardless Of politics, the more
Especially If he is so able, honest and
worthy a citizen as the Hon Allen
Craig.
Vote honestly, vote with care, vote
next Tuesday so you get Mr. Craig
l1ht there Respectfully,
FRANK +. HUMMEL,
Editor of Dover IN j 4 Index
