POLITICAL
POT-POURRI.
A Melange Of Topics on Local POlit-
ical Affairs.
OFFICE SEEKERS PLENTY.
BerthS at POttSville, Schuylkill Haven,
Harrisburg and Washington Are in
Great Demand.

There are at least two of our Republic
can townsmen who are shaping affairs
so that they may succeed Postmaster
Mellet two years hence. This is certainly
taking time by the torelock.
One of our young Republicans is most
confident that he will be appointed clerk
to Congressman Brumm, but if he is wise
he will seek nest elsewhere. Mr.. Brumm
will not have a clerk, unless he should be
made chairman of some committee, and
| am led to believe that is not probable.
William Neiswender has made a good
member of the Republican executive com.
mittee. Fortunately his path during the
campaign was a comparatively smooth
one, and he met with but few cranks.
1t is hoped the scores OF men who are
| out for political appointments will exer-
else good sense and not imagine that the
men elected last week have been given
Offices for the sole purpose of giving GER
tain people berths. There is no objection
to everybody in the land seeking Office,
when the seeker is a man who can take
disappointment as one of the elements of
the natural course of events.
The last campaign brought to the front
number of new and energetic RepuO
can workers. Let them keep up the good
work and theirs will be the reward of
the faithful.
The local Republican workers are given
| pointer that the jobs of Inspector Mona.
CHAN and Interpreter Radziewicz will not
be declared vacant until a Republican
President is elected. This pointer is given
with advice to the men who are already
seeking them that fidelity TO the success
full party from now until after the next
| Presidential election will determine to "a
great extent who shall fill the shoes
Senator,elect Coyle and Representative
elect Wyatt are besieged by applicants
Tor positions at Harrisburg As matter
of fact these two men will have very
little, if any, patronage to distribute foi
some time to come. What they may
possibly control will not oe worth bother
ing about.
One Of our young Republicans is seek,
| ing a position in the public ms ructiou
department at Harrisburg. He may get
there, since he has many very influential
| friends below the mountain to back him
"Beu Hur" read number OF Republi
cans out of the part ia last weeks sun
day News, but as ne is not "tho power be
hind the throne" the edict will not ego. d
Such a step would be very foolish. Had
the riot act been read to men in the Re
publican ranks in years past there would
not be enough of the party left in Schuyi-
Kill county to-day to form corporal's
| guard. The result of the election showed
that the Republicans of JhIs county who
we're on the wrong side Of the fence were
very few, and it would be policy to leave
well enough alone.
Honest John 7. Shoener is deserving OF
much credit for his work during the last
campaign. He is not sulker. Immedi
ately after his defeat in the nomination
for Congress he, like Hon. Elias Davis
put on his working clothes and did yoe
man service for the whole ticket.
Constable Thomas Tosh, who is an
appl cant for a deputyship under Sheriff
elect Scott, was another Republican who
did not sulk. When beaten in the fight
for the Republican nomination for JURY
Commissioner he worked like a Trojan
for the ticket nominated.
P. w. Bierstein, the bright young Lith
uanian politician of town, did royal ser
vice for the Republicans in the last cleo
tion. He held the Lincoln Lithuanian
Club solidly for the ticket Heretofore it
has been difficult to get most of the people
who are now members of the organiza
tion to take a defined stand in politics
| but through the efforts of Mr.. Bierstein
they have been brought to realization
of where their true interest lies, and the
! Lincoln Club will become one of the most
| influential Republican organizations in
this section of the state.
b. JEFF Yost, of the County Clerks
Office, remarked after giving the writer
a dig in the ribs, 1t was a glorious vic
tory. l expected it, but it took hard
work. 1t is funny how some of the luke.
warm fellows are coming to the front and
claiming that they did it ALL" jeff. is a
hard worker and covers a great deal OF
ground when he starts out.
The Democratic party of this county is
to have new leaders. Our own Wana.
maker James J. Franey, and M, P, Quinn
of Pottsville, are among those mentioned
as likely to be installed as Governor en-
eral Either woald make leader in
whom confidence the party could be re
/ posed with the assurance that clean poll
! tics would prevail.
