Mr.. Behr, it will thus be seen, has
been a resident of Sullivan county
all his life, and has large interests in
the county. He has cut the timber
from about 1900 acres and pays taxes
on over one thousand acres of land.
He is active and prominent in all the
social and business interests of his
and is a member deep
ly interested in the welfare and
prosperity of the county in which he
has been nominated, and is being
actively supported by Republicans
and Democrats alike, the question of
partisanship being laid aside to
secure a good, honest, trustworthy,
responsible representative to care for
county's finanses in the interest of
all the people. His neighbors are
giving him their united support.
Mr.. Behr is generally a large en-
ployer of labor himself, and takes II
great interest in all that concerns
them, and claims himself a working
man, and as such should receive the
vote of every man in the county,
whatever his party affiliations are,
and should take personal pride in

where he remained for five years.
Otto made rapid progress in that
period of time, and now being "A stur-
dy lad of fifteen summers he return
ed home to swing the axe in the
virgin forests and till the soil thus
cleared. This was his steady occupa-
ton until twenty-four years of age,
when he purchased Sawmill and
began to manufacture lumber cut
from his timber lands. Two years
later he took his brother, Herman,
in as partner i'm the business and
purchased a large timber tract of
their own, which business they are
at present conducting on moderate
scale, and when not thus engaged

tive position with the S. La S. r..

died in infancy. Mrs. Taylor died
in 1885, and in 1889 Mr.. Taylor was
again married to Mrs. Inez L.. Rob-
erts, daughter of Nathanial Meyer.
Mr.. Taylor is an ardent champion of
the Republican party. He held the
office of school director from 1898 to
1895, and in 1898 was elected road
commissioner, the duties of which
Office he is now creditably filling.
Mr.. Taylor has always been identi-
fed with the best interests of the
county. He has by hard and earnest
toll learned the true value of the
almighty dollar. His business quail
ties and years of experience has ably
fitted him for the position he now
askes of the voters of Sullivan Co.,
that of county commissioner, and
we heartily recomend him to the
people who are champions of hon
esty and justice.

MR.. ANsON p. STARR, the well
known manager of the large mer-
camille business of w. l.. Hoffman,
at Muncy Valley, and candidate for
county auditor, is a gentleman well
known throughout the county as he
has taken unusual interest in the adj
vancement of education and religion
in connection with his extremity
active and steady business career.
Mr.. Starr was born in Muncy
township, Lycoming county, Pa.
Oct. s, 1867, he lived at home until
thirteen years of age when he work
ed on farm in the summer and
attended public school during the
winter until fifteen years old, when
he began attending the Normal
School at Muncy, Pa. and at the age
of sixteen began teaching school in
the township he was born and raised
in. He continued teaching in the
winter and going to the Normal in
the summer for four years. He then
accepted position as station agent
with the w. d n. b. r.. r.. Co. ut
Glen Mawr, which he held for over
five years, during which time he
was Post Master at Glen Mawr, un-
der President Harrisons administra-
ton. He resigned this position to
accept the management of the tam
merry store at Muncy Valley, Pa.then
OWened by ID. II. Stevens and son,
now by w. L.. Hoffman, which
position he now holds. Closing his
services with the r.. r.. Co. one day
and beginning with ID, II. Stevens
the next. His time has been so oc-
cupied that he has lost only two
weeks in nearly twelve years.
Politically our subject is a republi-
can, and always has been an active
worker and party organizer and has
done much to strengthen the party
in his locality. He is always found
as a delegate to our county conven-
tions and his judgment is always
asked for on all public questions.
Aside from being an active polite
ian, his life il .iinketf with the Nj.
f. Church at Muncy Valley, of
which he is an active member, and
has been President of the Sunday
School Association of Sullivan Co.
since 1896, and is highly commended
for the able and efficient manner in
which he performs the duties of this
Office.
Sullivan Co. has never had the
pleasure of electing a more COM
petent auditor to examine the ac-
counts than they have in Mr.. Starr.
See that your vote counts for his
election.

assisting in his election by every
means in their power. In this cam
paign with Mr.. Behr as candidate
at the head of the ticket, politics
should cut no figure. otto can be
safely supported as friend who can
always be relied upon to do his full
duty.
Mr.. Behr is an. enthusiastic sports
man and an honory member of the
Delaware Orinthologicacl Club Of
Philadelphia which is connected
with the American Academy of
Natural Science. He takes an active
interest in hunting as well as in bus
iness and politics. In his whole
business career he has never been
idle scarcely day, save a few weeks
two years ago the past winter he had
the misfortune of breaking his left
leg by rolling log while at work
in the woods. He is no aristocrat
whatever, but puts himself on a level
with his employees and does the
same kind of labor. While he is a
man of ordinary means he in no way

other hand thoroughly democratic,
