THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.

: array of candidates on the Republican ticket
Standing on platform, espousing fol the fu'
ture, as it has proven in the past an Of pros.
perity, the Republican party lorges to the
'front.' The voter should have no hesitancy in
putting his seal of appreciation upon the full din
ner pail, which can be found in every workshop
and home.
Mckinley, four years ago in derision by his
political adversaries was dubbed the advance
agent of prosperity, but he converted derision
into a stern and welcome reality. The presi-
dent has been tried The mills and factories are
running and even in the towns of Snyder county
it is next to impossible to find workman for
even short job. Colonel Roosevelt, the Rough
Rider, has shown to the world his valor and as
a statesman.
THAD NJ. MAHON,
Our candidate for Congressman of the 18th Dis
trict of Pennsylvania has filled the position for
almost eight years and has made brilliant re-
cord in the lower House. He has always paid
close attention to claims for pensions coming
from his district, and stood by Pr sdent McKin-
ley and supported his hands in the successful et-
fort to employ every man who was willing to
work.
i BENZ. X. FOCHT.
The Senatorial district candidate is Hon.
Benz X. Focht, of Union county, man who
represented this county for three years in the
lower House at Harrisburg. He has secured
more legislation for the people of Union courty
than any other one member has been able TO ac-
complish for his county. He is a progressive,
iron-willed and never-yieldng war-horse in the
struggle for successful legislation and being
granted the powers of State Senator, added to
his long acquaintance with State lawmakers the
constituents of the 9th Senatorial district NAV
be sure to hear their trumpet sounded in the
Senate chamber and have recorded upon the
statute books of the commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania some laws that will be received by the tax
payers with open arms. He is man of ability
energy and has the happy faculty OF bringing to
a successful issue all he undertakes.
HON. A. NJ. SMITH.
The successful termination of his first term in
the House of Representatives in Harrisburg, puts
DIR A. M. Smith in the best kind of position
to ask for the second term His second nomina
tion was given to him by the solid vote of his
party and it is but a fitting testimonial to his
worth to return him to Harrisburg for the second
term.
GEORGE MOATZ SHINDEL.
We would not attempt to say anything in be-
halt of MIR. Shindel, the candidate for Prothono-
tary and Clerk of the several courts of Snyder
county. He is too well known as an efficient Of
tcer to need any andaton at the hands of the
PosT. He has been nominated without opposi-
ton, thereby practically conceding to him &C.
cond term The books in his office and the pa
pers emanaing theretrom are specimens of neat
ness and perfection, and Republicans who know
a good official, will not hesitate vote
JOHN HENRY WILLIS.
The present incumbent of the Register and
Recorders office is serving his first term in his
official capacity. He has proven to be an oblig-
ing and careful official. He has endeayored 70
keep his fees below what the law allows The
books and papers in Mr.. Willis Office are neat,
correct, are credit to the best officials and are
on par with the large county and city offices.
Vote for Willis
MILES l. POTTER.
Nj. l. Potter, one of Middleburg's active and
progressive attorneys, has been named as the
Republican candidate TOR District Attorney. The
position, though not very lucrative, is very I'M
portant one to the taxpayers. Mr.. Potter has
won very good practice and enjoys the esteem
of his clients. He will make an efficient Dis
trict Attorney and merits the vote of every Re-
