PoTTsvILLE, April There is a ring in
this county which is undertaking to foist
certain men upon the Republican party.
This ring is composed of some of the
most corrupt ringsters in the county who,
il they are not holding office, are drawing
pay in some other capacity. They are
not leaders, strictly speaking but sharp,
shrewd men who keep themselves well
posted on the ins and outs of county poll
tics. In other words, they are OF the
tricky kind who have no character to lose
They cannot secure nominations for them
selves and want to put up candidates
they can control, but it will not work
this year. The intelligent Republicans
have their eyes opened and propose to
keep them open until after the nomina-
tions are made.
No honest Republican will find fault
with any nominee of the party if the
nomination is made legitimately, and
a majority voting intelligently cannot
make a mistake 1t is the rrickery of the
manipulation under the guise of "paria-
mentary rules and dishonest convention
officers, not taking into consideration the
use of whislSey, that is responsible for bad
nominations and it is to these mischief
breeding elements that the Repub-
lican party should give the strctest
attention when making up its ticket for
next fall
The Republicans must put upa clean
ticket if they want to win in this county.
They cannot afford to take things easy
under the impression that the present
state of the country will naturally enable
their party to sweep everything in sight,
no matter who may be on the ticket We
can trust the rank and file of the party,
but sharp eye must be kept on the ma
Brumm's boom for Congress has been
pushed for allit is worth since | wrote
last. Brumm is in for fight and will use
all his famed magnetism to set hot pace
for his competitors.
Shoener's chances are just as bright, If
not brighter than ever, Notwithstanding
the activity shown by the others in the
field and there is nothing within view to
warrant loss of hope on the part of his
supporters, but his friends are not taking
any chances.
The city papers are working Losch's
boom. Sam has way of getting in with
the newspaper men in the large cities
and they always have good word to say
for him.
The Senatorial fight in the 3Oth district
takes up considerable talking time of the
people IN this district. The suggestion
IudI lue democrats ask Daniel ShepD to
make the fight in that field has aroused
their interest. 1t has also stirred up the
Democrats who were at sea in connection
with the Senatorial part of their ticket.
! doubt very much that Mr.. Shepp will
run. He isn't much of politician and is
very adverse to notoriety which will GER
tainly be his lot should he become the
standard bearer Of the party. He is also a
very sensitive man and defeat will be a
severe blow to him, 50 if he were to accept
he nomination it would only be upon
almost guarantee of election.
Many of his friends know that there is
a certain element that will bitterly oppose
his election.
1t is more than likely that Frank p
Spiese will be the Democratic candidate
for Senator.
Hon. Elias Davis, the workingman's s
| friend. is making a vigorous fight for
Sheriff and if he does not make the nomi-
nation he will be badly disappointed and
have but little faith in human nature
after the conventions
The Fourth district legislative fight con
| tinues lively one, but | cannot detect
any change in the situation W. E. Har-
| ing is still in the lead and there is little
doubt that he will be one of the three
nominees Earl Whitman is still confident
| that he will be one of the other nominees.
