A Few Words to Voters.

The last days of the campaign are
upon us, and those voters, if there are
any, who are vet undecided as to how
they will mark their ballots. should earn
estly consider the responsibility which
rests upon every citizen at this election.
On the ballot which each voter will take
into the booth are many names, but
ont of the hundreds that appear thereon
there are none which can appeal with
greater force to the laboring classes and
business men than those which are
printed in the second column.
Underneath the word Democratic"
will be found the names Of Bryan and
Sewall, followed by the thirty-two candi-
dates for electors who are pledged to
support these men in the electoral col
legc. A mark in the large square at
the right of the names Of Bryan and
Sewal will vote for each and all OF their
electors. Republicans who intend to
vote the national ticket should rcmcm-
Der this, as it is Il convenience which
was not possible in the last presidential
election, when Il separate mark after
each electors name was required
The fact that PENNSYLVANIA is conccd-
ed to the Republicans should not deter
the Independent voter from voting for
Bryan and SewaIl. The principles they
represent appeal to the common sense
of every man who desires to see America
free from foreign dictation in monetary
H,,i,
in government business by those Amer-
cans who are throttlmg every privilege
Of the masses and making voters sui r.
Went to the will Of plutocracy and
monopoly. a vote for Bryan and
Scwall in Pennsylvania is not vote
lost 1t is a protest against the system
Of governing which has made pennsyl-
vania the home of thousands Of paupcrs
Dewitt c. Dewitt and jerome T. Ali
man are the candidates for rcongrcsSmcn-
at-largc. They stand upon platform
which endorses Bryan and Sewall and
the Chicago declaration of indcpen-
dcncc, and they are worthy Of the vote
Of every citizen in the state.
John NJ. Garmau, the congressional
candidate, is next ON the ballot, and is
the first on the list Of those whose cleo
tion is not only possible, but very prob
able A vote for Mr., Garman is more
than a protest, uasmuch as one vote
may decide who will represent Luzcrnc
in the legislative halls Of the nation.
and let il not be said that Luzernc this
citizen would feel ashamed Of. Mr..
Garman would be a credit to the district,
and would work honestly and sincerely
for the best interests of all his consttu
cnts. He believes. like his leader, in
1.-The greatest good to the greatest num-
Der" which is the true principle of
craftsmanship.
Our townsmau. d. j. Mccarthy, fol-
lows, and local pride alone should insure
for him a rousing majority in FrccIand
and surrounding polls. He is an aspiraut
for an Office which, next to congress
man. is the most important in the
county. The territory covered by the
twenty-iirst senatorial district has been
selected specially to make Democrats
election almost impossible, as it goes
beyond the county for Republican town
ships and omits Democratic sections
within the county. In spite of this
gerrymandcr he has voluntarily taken
up the cause Of the people, and no man
in Pennsylvania has done more to on
tighten the voters Of Luzcrme on the
financial question than our townsman.
His honesty Of purpose is undoubted
and that he will make good senator
is conceded by even his opponents.
For county treasurer the nominee is
Rudolph c. IIilchlcr a man who has
lately risen from good machinist 10
