POLITICAL PlCkUPS.

A Republican pow-wow was held by
the borough candidates at DePierro' 5
cafe on Saturday night. The party
heelers and shouterS have been clamor-
ing for money since the nominations
were made. and the meeting was called
to make arrangements to appease them.
The caucus was quite harmonious and
the prospects were painted in rosy
colors, but the majority of the candi-
dates left the gathering with the same
determination as they entered, viz, to
take care of No. tomorrow and let the
other fellows fight their own battles.
1t is said that the mine bosses at sew
eral polls in Foster will take prominent
part in the election tomorrow. Some are
ranged on the side of the regular Rcpub-
lican ticket and some are working for
the Citizens nominees. If all reports
are true, intimidation will be rampant
in the township. 1t is quite possible
that II few of these over-zeaous bosses
will find themselves under arrest before
the day is over, if they carry their
authority too far
Foster township ballots are printed
without circle over the Citizens party
column. The voter who wishes to help
the Independent movement must mark
an "N" after each candidates name.
Some of the Citizens leaders are inclined
to believe that their party should have n
circle. so that the ticket could be voted
with one ''N'' on top of the column.
Owing to the lengthening of the depu-
ties trial, the meeting of Pennsylvania
Democrats, IL call for which is published
on the fourth page, will not be held.
State Chairman Garman cannot leave
the trial, and Democratic gathering
would not be complete without him.
Patrick Marley, of Jeddo and John
Gallagher, of Drifton, candidates for
school director and supervisor respec
lively should receive handsome maiori-
ties in this end of Halle township. Both
men deserve the solid support of their
party.
Freeland Democrats are in good trim
for tomorrow's contest. Every ward
has been thoroughly organized, the ca n
didates are working in harmony. active
and honest men will man the polls and
the workers will bring out the full party
vote.
The press of the entire poor district
speaks well of Elmer Warner, the
Democratic nominee for director His
friends confidently claim his election,
and this feeling is shared by the leading
politicians of the district.

From the White Haven journal.
Quite Il laughable incident occurred
here one day last week. when two sleds
loaded with Freeland's young people
were visiting our town. As the parties
were about ready to leave, several young
men hastily arranged camera" with
the aid Of n rastcEoard box. paper roll
and square piece of black cambric,
stood it on a window sill in one of our
business houses and invited the visitors
to ''look pleasant if they wished to
have their pictures taken. After the
first sled load had been photogra phed,
as they supposed, the operation was re-
peated with the second sled.
When all was over. several of the
young ladies left their names and ad-
dresses, with the request that as soon
as finished to send them. picture
This was promised and the happy par
ties drove off with smiling faces. never
for one moment thinking how complete
ly they had been fooled.

Won IA Fox on Saturday.

An interesting fox chase took place
near old Buck Mountain ON Saturday
afternoon. After the fox had been led
over a two-mile course the six dogs
which had been entered were let loose.
and an interesting race over the course
followed. Two Freeland dogs led the
chase and beat all their opponents.
The first dog in is owned by p. NJ.

Donald and j, w. SIattery. Hugh NAL
loy's dog, in charge Of Julius Dusheck

Gently built and parallel the railroads

so in the coal regions. The different

than it is by the steam railroad, the troll
