The beef trust has for years past
been engaged in forcing down the
price of beef cattle and thus driving
thousands of raisers out of the bus
mess. Yet after the number of head
has fallen off nearly 10000, 900,
heavier consumption and lighter
production is seized upon as pre-.
text for advancing prices. In short,
after having created scarcity by
robbing the producer, the trust
shows intolerable brazenness in
urging that scarcity as an excuse for
more rapacious plundering of the
consumer States.

A REPLY TO A LYING CIRCULAR.

eious and False Circular Issued
by c. N. TerwiIIiger.

To Tie Democratic Peters Of Colnm-
Ma County:
In answer to malicious and false
circular sent out by my opponent,
c. M. Terwilliger, I want to say to
the voters of Columbia County that
the whole circular is tissue of lies
from beginning to end. AS to my
loyalty to the Democratic party last
year, l need only say that I travel
ed in various portions of the county
in support of the Democratic can
didates, and especially in support of
the present Judge Little Che himself
having gone with me to Catawissa
and Centralia) and no man in the
county knows or can testify to the
falsity of this charge better than
Judge Little, John G. McHenry,
County Chairman, and Congress-
man R. K. Polk, to all Of whom the

The power of Governor Stone to
overrule the will of the people by
his unwarranted and unauthorized
action in appointing NJ. S. Quay
United States Senator, in vetoing
the several resolutions of the Legis-
lature providing for submission to a
vote of the people of proposed
amendments to the constitution, and
in cutting 81, 900, 900 from the pub
lie school appropriation, is to be
tested i'll the courts. There are very
strong grounds for believing that
the Governors action cannot be le-
gally sustained.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1899-05-25

voters can write ana ascertain the
truth of this matter and expose the
lies of Terwilliger. Instead of be-
ing for Republican as alleged in
Terwilliger's circular, l used every
influence within my power to the
loyal support and election of the
whole Democratic ticket from Gov
ernor down to County Surveyor.
AS to the charge that three years
ago promised Mr.. Terwilliger to
appoint him deputy at a salary of
100000 year if he should with
draw as candidate; l never made
any such promise to either him or
his friends. did say to him that
if elected would take his applica-
tion for clerkship into considera-
tion with all the others, and if l
could see my way clear to appoint
him, would appoirt him.. But
among the applicants I found one
Of superior ability and fitness for the
place, and being under no obliga-
tions or promise to turn every one
else down for Terwilliger, Iappoint-
ed the present deputy, and after
three years service l am satisfied
that l did the right thing. The
present deputy was a member of the
bar and acquainted with the pro-
ceedure of the office. Terwilliger
on the other hand knew nothing
about the Office and has none of the
qualifications to fit him for Deputy
Prothonotary and Clerk of the
Courts. For the good of the people
who patronize the office, l appoint
ed the best man l could find, at
much less salary than Terwilliger
demanded, he refusing to serve for
a less sum than that above named,
which was a larger salary than was
ever paid clerk in any Office in the
court house. In conclusion ought
to say, that ever since the Office of
Prothonotary has been established
in Columbia county, it has been re-
cognlzed as two-term office; the
custom never having been broken.
During the two years and half that
l have occupied the Office, l have
endeavored to treat everybody fairly
and honestly, and l have never heard
any complaints about the manner in
which the Office has been conducted.
therefore solicit the support of the
voters for second term, the same
as every Prothonotary who has gone
before me. 1t will be impossible
for me to visit every voter, but
will see as many as I can between
this and election day.
Respectfully yours,
w. H. HENRIE.
Prothonotary & Clerk of the Courts.

NOTICE.

Some of my opponents have been
diligently circulating the report that /
seconded the motion to increase the
salary of the Co. Superintendent from
$1,000 to $1,000. l stated through
the press last week that the report
was false; that had not made the
motion, nor voted for it. Since then
these same parties have been circu-
laang the same story, with amend
ments. Now they say that no one
voted against the increase. Scores of
people know that this yarn is false. Ev-
cry man in that convention knows it
to be untrue.
During this whole campaign have
treated all my opponents as gentle
men, and all l ask from them is the
same treatment. We now ask the
public once, and for all, to pay no at
tention to these false and mischiev-
Gus reports. ]. =. RUTTER, JR.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

On Saturday, June roth, the
Democratic primary elections will
be held. 1t will be the first time
that the new rules have been tested.
They were adopted i'll 1907, and
last year there was but one office to
fill, and only two candidates, so
that the one having the largest vote
was duly nominated. Under the
new rules the persons receiving the
highest vote for each office will be
declared to be the nominee for the
several Offices respectively.
For Register and Recorder four
persons are announced in this pa
per, and we are informed that four.
others have also registered with the
County Chairman, making eight
candidates whose names will appear
on the ticket. The one receiving
the largest vote will be the nominee
of the party, and the other seven,
though their aggregate vote may
greatly exceed that of the success
full aspirant, will be defeated.
For County Treasurer there are
five candidates, and the same rule
will apply.
For Commissioner there are seven
candidates and for Auditor three.
Two will be nominated for each Of
fee.
For Prothonotary and District
Attorney there are but two candi-
dates for each, so that there can be
no complication there, and for state
delegates there are but five aspirants
and all will be elected.
For these Offices all the candi-
dates are professed Democrats, and
are running under the rules of the
party. Each man takes his chance,
as every man must do in politics
and all should be willing to abide
by the result. Don't let us have
any kickers or boilers after the
nominations are made.
Another matter that is worthy OF
consideration is the custom that has
prevailed for many years of select.
ing the County Treasurer from the
south side of the river every third
term. This year it belongs there,
if this custom is to prevail. There
are four candidates from that sec
tion, and one from this side. The
people have the power to overrule
this custom, but whether it is wise
to do so at this time, and thus cause
dissatisfaction and dissension among
a large number of Democrats, is c
matter that is worthy of considera
ton. The same remark apple.
also to the office Of Commissioner
1t has been customary to name one
Commissioner from the south side
Three years ago this was not done
The south side Democrats claim
!, that they were not treated fairly
, and repetition of the same thing
: this yea. would be liable to Great,
dissatisfaction and weaken our vote
5 this fail.
Another custom that has pre-
:. vailed for many years is to accort
: to the Prothonotary a second term
= Unless there is some good reason
for change, and if there is, it ha
not come to our knowledge, Mr.
Henrie is entitled to re-nomina
: ton. He has been an efficient anc
obliging officer, and ought to b.
given a second term.
n All these matters are worthy c
a careful consideration by the voters
= and they should act as they believ
: the best interests of the party de
: mand.
