JOSEPH ~. cEoATE. JR.. OF HARVARD WINS THE
GOLD MEDAL. FOR THE BEST SCORE IN THE
PRELIMINARY ROUND-wH1GBAA. LAB
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1898-11-02

in answer to this Mr.. Williams explic-
lilly states that be is in the employ of no
person or committee-D Democratic or Re-
pubiicsn-and declares that Mr.. Wana-
maker has either been misinformed or
deliberately lies. Each OF the numerous
statements made by Mr.. Wanamaker in
the address referred to 3 taken up in turn
and an explicit denial given, with chsl
lenge to the merchant 10 substantiste his
assertions.
'Ail of which leads the impartial OBJ
server to conclude that Mr.. Wanamaker
on the occasion in question was talking
through his hat, as he very frequently
does. He may have heard the rumors
which he declared from the Altoona plat
form. but certainly no man with regard
70, his word should take up rumor and
turn it into positive assertion on his
own responsibility. as he seems to have
done on this occasion. Mr. Williams an
swer is entirely proper in his own defense
aud in justice to Senator Quay, and
should have the same circulation as the
charges against them"
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1898-11-02

One Of the most important elections
in the history of the State and Country
will occur next Tuesday, and the HER
AID takes the opportunity Of urging
upon every loyal Republican, and espe-
cially the members of the County COM
mittee, the Importance of getting out
the full Republican vote, and not only
of getting the voters to the polls, but
seeing that, when there, they vote tie
straight ticket without a scratch. Our
only apprehension is that there will
not be full turnout, and that our ma
jority will not be up TO that of former
years. County Chairman Berkley has
been unremitting in his labOrs in an
endeavor to have the full Republican
vote of the county polled, and in this
fort he should be actively assisted by
every member of the County commit
tee. 1t is the duty Of the committee
men TO see that the vote is gotten out.
That is one of the reasons why they
were selected Tor this important trust,
and this is one of the years in which it
is of vital importance that every care
less, Indifferent or weakened voter be
urged to go to the polls and vote the
straight Republican ticket. If this is
done, if every member of the County
committee and every earnest Republi-
can in the county does his full duty our
msjority for Colonel Stone and the bal
snee Of the ticket will exceed that Civ
en- Governor Hastings four years ago.
There is no reason why we should not
reach high water mark this year and
make our msjOrity $500. Get out the
vote.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1898-11-02

EARLY in the campaign the Wana-
maker organs started the lie that the
Republican State committee was try
ing TO defeat the reelection of Hon. c.
w. Stone TO Congress. This falsehoOd
was effectually exploded when the Re
publican candidate for Governor and
the speakers sent out by the State COM
mittee went into his (StOne's) district
and spoke for him and with him from
the same platform. 1t now seems that
one 5. Marshall Williams, formerly a
member Of the State Legislature from
Bedford county, has been over in Blair
county working in the interest of the
Democratic candidate for Congress in
this district, which fact has afforded
Mr.. Wanamaker and his organs anoth-
er opportunity to lie, and they have
not been slow to avail themselves of 1t,
and have been charging that Mr.. Will
Jams is in the employ of the RepubIi-
can State committee. That this il lie,
rurs and simple, and foolish one at
that, is apparent to large msjority of
the Republicans of the district who
know how zealously Chairman Elkin
and the State organization are working
for the election of Mr.. Thropp, as well
as Tor the election of every other RI
publican candidate for Congress in the
State.
In a recent speech in Altoona Mr..
Wanamaker preferred a number of
charges against Mr.. Williams, among
which was the following:
81 make the specific charge that one 8.
Marshall Williams, at present Republi-
can member of the Legislature from Bed
ford county, and the Qnay leader of that
section, is now in the employ OF the Dem
ocrstic Chairman to defeat Mr.. Thropp.
your Republican nominee from this Dis
trict-"
Mr.. Williams sent 8 written denial of
these charges 10 the Johnstown Trib-
une, in referring to which that paper
says:
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1898-11-02

THE speech delivered by Mr.. Joseph
+. Thropp, the Republican candidate
for Congress in this district, at the
grand Republican mass meeting held
in the court house on Wednesday after
noon was an able effort, and the can
didate made a most favorable impress
sion on the large and intelligent audi
ence. IL was the first opportunity that
most Of those present had had Of see
ing and hearing their congressional
candidate. There is no doubt of Mr.
ThrOpp's election by large msjority,
and that he will receive the support of
every loyal Republican in Somerset
county goes without saying. %he Re
p1blicans Of Somerset comfy and Of
the Twentieth Congressional District
are firm believers in protection, sound
money and William Mckinley, and
they propose TO see to it that they are
represented in the Fifty-sixth Congress
by one who is in full accord with their
views.

National and State Issues.

From the Pittsburg Times.
The very fact that the Democrats Of
Pennsylvania desire to ignore national
issues in this campaign ought to count
against them. 1t shows that they are
ashamed and afraid Of their doctrines
and want to keep them in the back
ground, while appealing to the intelligent
people Of Pennsylvania, who haveso en-
phatically repudiated their heresies-
''Oh no." they say, mo National issues;
keep them in the background" That
will be the cry up to the day OF election:
bat should the people of the State be
foolish enough TO listen to such argd-
ments, and by reason thereof intrust them
with power, the result, the morning after
election, would become the biggest kind
Of a National issue. 1t would be shouted
from Maine to California that the great
Republican stronghold of Pennsylvania
had faltered in her allegiance and had
Joined the Democratic column. Every
jackrabbit statesman in the wild and
woolly West would throw up his hat and
pitch it with renewed zest to whoop up
the free silver campaign Of 1900.
The cute Democrat ic Greeks who are
trying to sneak into the Republican
Troy, concealed in the wooden horse Of
State issues, would drop that at once
and shout themselves hoarse over the
great victory for cheap money. Il would
have such an effect that we would in all
probability have 10 fight that fight over
again, to .he great detriment of business
and destruction Of confidence. The
moment it was announced that Pennsyl-
vania had faltered in her allegiance on
every market in the world there would
be depreciation Of American securities.
National issues are also State issues
aud local issues. In Piltsburg is not the
question whether our mills and factories
shall run or remain idle local issue,
and a big and vital one? Isn't il a local
issue whether our mechanics shall starve
by the thousands or have full employ
ment and good wages? Was it State
legislation that produced the former
state of affairs in lsg3 and was it State
legislation that reversed that and gave
as our present prosperity? Are our mem-
ories so short that we cannot recall those
local issues. which were produced at
Washington and not at Harrisburg? In
ignoring what they call National issues,
The Democrats pass by and attempt to
cover up the State issues which are of the
snpremest Importance TO the people Of
this Commonwealth. This is nation !;
its life is 4 national life, and the vital
questions which concern US are not stop
ped by the imaginary lines which enclose
the States.
