-"Uncle Josey" Field, of Mlddletown,
celebrated his 103d birthday on Sunday.
Many friends and relatives called to offer
their congratulations to the centenarian,
who lives on farm at Hedden's Corners.
Mr.. Fields ancestors were English and
settled ON Long Island. He is farmer,
as his father was before him, and by fru-
gality and judicious Investments has ac-
cumulsted fortune of $125,0O0. Uncle
Josey" remained a bachelor until he
reached the advanced age of rs. Then
he did what many an old man has done
before-married a woman fifty years his
junior. Three children were the result
of this union. Mrs. Field died twenty
four years ago. The old man does not
use tobacco in any form. However, he is
great believer in the stimulating and
tonic effects of homemade appleiack,
which he has drunk in moderation all his
life. Mr.. Field enjoys the distinction Of
having lived under the administration OF
every President. He was strong Wing,
and has been Republican since the for
nation of that party.

SOME STEPS should be taken whereby
primaries for delegates to Republican con-
ventlons may be conducted in different
manner from those recently held. The
plan in vogue in other substantially
Ohio-where the people vote directly for
their choice of candidates, is highly pre-
ferable to our system of half-hour sessions
where there is rush and scramble with.
out satisfactory results. If no other
change Is made the county executive com.
mittee could formulate a rule whereby
nominations for delegates must be made
a certain number of days prior to their
election, and on the latter day the polls
should be open a certain number
of hours, say from two to eight
O'Clock P. M. The name of every
voter and his residence should be regis
tered and nobody should be allowed to
cast his ballot unless a Republican be.
yond doubt. This plan would not entail
extra expense, as the Republican MEM
bers of the township election boards
would undoubtedly be willing to serve.
This system would prevent trickery such
as has shown itself in more than one in
stance. By compelling deleg ates to an
nounce their inten tions in advance there
would be no chan ce to run in set, after
promises of no contest, at moment when
it was too late for the choice of the people
to secure recognition. There are many
other points that could be named where
in great improvements could be made in
the holding of primaries.

DEMOCRATIC papers, hard pressed for
material with which to attack the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, are work
ing the local option story for its full value.
Not word can they say that will in any
way reflect upon John W. Griggs, and
they fully realize that they must appeal
to certain prejudices TO weaken his can
vass. His great strength Is admitted by
all the papers in the state, and such Dem
ocratic journals as the Philadelphia Times,
Philadelphia Record, New York World and
New York Sun, say that Mr.. Griggs is un-
doubtedly strong, with clean record, and
that his great danger lies not in the cam
paign stories which may be sprung on
him, but in the over-confdence of the
Republican party. They also admit that
he is a candidate of the people. having at
his back many independent voters who
are always willing and anxious to recog-
nize and reward manliness, honesty and
independence.

DEMOCRATIC Inconsistency is strongly
shown in this campaign. In New jersey
the Democrats are opposing our candidate
for Governor because he favored loca
option, while in New York one of tbs
main planks of the Democratic platform
favors local option. Again New Jersey
Democrats loudly proclaimed that Griggl
was weak candidate. Just the man they

BECAUSE he favored the local option bill

ton and ballot-box stuffiug are not vel
forgotten. Both of these actions have
been rebuked by the people, and because
our candidate for Governor dared to dc

people to forsake him now.

til it is decided whether he has been

given for this decision is said to be that
there is much business on the calendar

we are not mistaken the contest over the
will of H. B. Smith has been in his pos
