The political meeting in Lancas-
ter Oct. u and % should command
the attention and attendance of every
voter who wishes to hear good sense
and fair arguments from able men.
Mr. Adams is well known in the state
as practical man and one well able to
expound political doctrine. He is
labor and food commissioner for the
state. 1t was he that presented Mr..
LaFollette's name before the state con-
vention in an address that won the
warmest applause from all elements
of that great gathering. OF Mr..
Hazelton it is needless to speak. His
fame as an orator is national. Come
to both meetings.
John Bryan, VIM. Smith AMI
Hughey Schneider. who a few days
ago finished ten days Imprisonment
in the county Jail, are back on the

or else they are looking for a place to
stay during the winter. Hard labor
would cure their meanness better than
