Vote for John X. Jones.

There is no position in the county
government which so largely invites
the aggressive traits that are almost
indispensable in the district attorney
ship. Into this Office center, as into
the central station Of telegraph or
telephone system, all the various
threads of crime and evidence which
comprise the bulk Of the growing bus
mess of our county courts. Not only
must the ideal district attorney be, as
an attorney, thoroughly in touch with
every moving phase of that eXacting
and progressive profession, but he
must be, in addition, shrewd student
of human nature, ready Judge of fact
and fiction, and a man fired with the
ambition to excel which lies at the
bottom Of all true industry.
In our own county with its shifting
and composite population, the best re
suits in the district attorneyship are
to be obtained only by one who is in
daily contact with the people, who is
in ready and instant sympathy with
all law-abiding citizens, regardless OF
race, class or creed, and who has had
years of experience in the ferreting out
of crime and in the detailed business
of criminal litigation. The greater the
energies of the man, the better for the
people; for if he be but moderately dill
igent and only partially awake, the
opportunity for unnecessary expenses
and needlessly crowded criminal
dockets will almost certainly be i'm
proved.
AS against the present courteous but
ordinary official, the Republicans Of
Lackawanna county have nominated,
in John r. Jones, a man whose name
is the synonym for energy and enter
prise. He is known to every man
woman aud child, almost, within the
county's borders. There is not, in al
the county, a person who doubts tina
if elected, he would invest the Office
of district attorney with new force
and new meaning. The vim, deter
: mination and varied resources which h
, has shown as private practitioner a
the bar, in difficult cases his handling
of which has given him state repu
1 tation, would stimulate that depart
. ment of the county government wit
new life, new activity and new useful
e ness to the people.
+ A vote for John r. Jones will be
t discriminating ballot, which the vote
t will not afterward regret.

Mr.. STRAUs, Tammany's decoy can
didate for mayor, is not objected to by
any decent man because he is He
brew in race or a Jew in religion. The
objection to him is that he, consciously
or unconsciously, is being made the
good tool of an evil purpose. Under
meath the mantle of hls benevolence
Tammany hides designs too vile for
utterance; and if he persist in main
tanning an incongruous alliance, he
must prepare himself to accept the
consequences.

JUDGE ARCHIBALD has been one of
the most conservative court officials
of northeastern Pennsylvania during
his career on the bench. The expert
ence of one term, as well as a residence
in Lackawanna county the greater
portion of his life, has given Hon. R.
w. Archibald knowledge of the affairs
of this section of the state that cannot
be obtained at glance. Laying all
partisan questions aside, Judge Arch
bald is by experience and by faithful
service in the administration of justice
entitled to a reelection.

MODERATE BUT evenly distributed

An Ideal Servant

The ability, experience and integrity
Of Clarence Il. Pryor have long been
conceded, even by his political oppon-

gave evidence of their appreciation Of
Mr.. Pryor's strength.

THE ARGUMENT that this or that
follower of the free trade element
should be supported for local office
because he is a "good fellow" should
have no weight with an intelligent
Republican voter. An opportunity is
at hand to again teach the ''good fel.
lows" that they are in bad company.
