date. The stard.ng aspirant III that coun-
ty. Major klotz. has died since the last
election for congressman.
The Mcntrose. Republican announces
that Tommy kilrow. of Susquehanna
county, has received an appointment in
one OF the departments at Washington.
This announcement naturally suggests the
inquiry how SO loud a Republican as Kill

office. and that is one reason why he is
being urged to serve this constituency.
