The Republicans will not have candi-
date for represent ativo in tho fifth district

fuses to run. This is an oversight On the
part of the party managers, as Mr.. Stewart
had sguifled his willingness to be can

and then Mr.. Stewart dropped out Of the
fight. Now that Mr.. Pyle has refused 1t

L. Hoisler Ball, chairman of the county
executive committee, yesterday expressed
In no uncertain language He said
the report circulated around that there
wei Q more votes cast in Mill Creek hun
dred than there were Republican voters,
was not true. If those who havo been DIR

get the voters registered as the men In
Mill Creek hundred 1t would roll Up tho
Republican majority In the county.

Ing 200 Republicans voter. registered end
out of that number. 80 were democrats, all
but 40 of the Republicans registered at the
l nination election OH Saturday last
Tho Doctor was provoked and we'll may
he have been at tho aspersion that had
been cast on the election officers Of Mill
Creek hundred. Shame on the men who
call themselves Republicans who could
circulate such reports Their Republican,
ism has surely sunk to a low ebb.
$Thcre was supper served In the office
Of prominent public official on last Sat-

The people can not always DO fooled but |
they can DO sometimes and this fact was
shown on Saturday last. Thoy pulled the |

Ing their way. But politics is like the
tide, 1t GIBBS and flows.
. Every man when running for Office can
not expect to lie successful. The defeated
onos should cease to kick and take things
for there Is another day.
3 he ats tude of tho Republicans at the
resent time does not bode any good to
Ilc future success of the party. They
must all pull together and enlist tho SYM
pathes OF tho Republican voters so that
hey will take enough interest IN the
Darty's success to come out and vote an
