are running has as yet not resulted
in any demand that they be rugged
out with tenders.
1t was the same favOritism shown
at the Democratic supper in town
last week that protruded in the con-
vention which named the Demo-
cratic ticket. There seems to be too
kinds of Democrats, the ordinary
and the extraordinary.
j. l.. Christian is a popular young
doctor and will discharge the duties
of Member with dignity and honor.
Vote for him, and sustain the good
name of Sullivan county in sending
able men to the Legislature.
Return VIM. j. Lawrence to the
Office of Prothonotary and you will
have this important station well
filed for another term. 1t is not
good policy to put green men in this
Office every new term. 1t hasn't
ever been done nor will it be this
time. Vote for him.
One of the questions now pressing
upon us is how to provide govern
ments for these islands that have fell
into Uncle Sans possession through
the successful results of war, and
secure continued prosperity to all
our people. Only that party should
be intrusted with it that has shown
itself most capable of dealing with
great affairs. Both in peace and in
war, the Republican party has pro-
ven equal to every emergency, and
the record it has made is guarantee
that it will meet these problems of
the future and solve them with the
same triumphant success that has
attended it i'm all its brilliant career.
The work is already in the hands of
President Mckinley. What he
wants is the support of a House of
Representatives. VIM. III. Woodin
lis the candidate who STAN pledged
to sustain the President in all his
moves to these great ends. Let your
vote be one that sends him to Wash
ington.
The popularity of ii. w. Osler,
candidate for Sheriff, grows with the
people as the campaign advances,
and it should. He is II man of
sobriety and good business qualities,
and wherever he goes he is sized up
as mao of sterling worth. 1t is
seldom that an opportunity of plac-
ing the business of the sherifi''s Office
in such capable hands presents itself.
Vote for him, he should be elected.
There will be Il strong effort made
in the next legislature to fix the
minimum school term at eight
months. Pennsylvania is shamefully
low in school records compared with
other states that are producing great
men and women. DR.. Christian is a
man who knows how to value an
education and will exercise his able
influence and Judgment in this direc-
ton for the best interests of.his' con-
stituents. Send him to Harrisburg
by all means.
The fact that VIM. j. Lawrence
has been honored with Il renomina-
ton is recognition of the fact that he
has discharged the duties of his Office
with credit. He was found worthy
the support of many Democrats three
years ago, while today his worth is
recognized by all regardless of party,
as he has served the whole people in
most efficient manner and not found
wanting. Such men have heretofore
been returned to the Office after the
first term. Vote for him, and dc
unto this gentleman likewise.
Voters are making statements to
the effect that we need speech makers
to send to Washington. Who else
was it but w. II. Woodin who APP
peared before convention in this
place and made plain, sensible and
pointed speech, indicating why il
was incumbent upon the party at
this period to place strong Repub-
lican Congress behind the back of the
President. Woodin is more than 4
