high personal characteristics and in
domitable fighting qualities stood him
in good stead and he won out In his
district in good style.
During his term in the Legislature he
was appointed to and served with dis
tinction on a number of important
committees of that body.
Mr.. Beck was nominated three years
ago for this same office of register of
wills, but was defeated because Of the
sympathetic feeling that was dominant
among the voters for his opponent. But
with loyalty unshaken he accepted this
reverse with good-humored philosophy
and buckled on the armor Of party ac-
tivity with undiminished energy. This
year amid considerable number Of
candidates from various sections
throughout the county Mr.. Beck as
pired successfully for the same place
on the county ticket, and it is due him
as recognition Of former services no
less than as an obligation of party reg
ularity that he should receive the un
animous vote of his fellow partisans

by the last speaker of the house, Mr..
Farr. Mr.. Reynolds, having made the
preliminary campaign in his district, is
naturally we'll acquainted with the
vast majority of the voters, and is
known favorably by all. He Is inde-
pendent in many of his political be-
liefs, though he always was very
consistent Republican, and his memor-
able contest to retain the popular bal
lot at the Republican partys primaries
here evidences his skill in debate. He
believes in allowing the individual
voter to decide the issue. If the voters
are not able to settle any question that
may come up Mr.. Reynolds believes
popular government to be failure.
To send him to Harrisburg in Janu-
ary next means the placing of man
there who will do all that lies in his
power for this city and county. Both
will then need special attention. The
new city charter and the possible con-
tention over the fee system, both of
which may require legislation, will tax
the capabilities of the best men at the

to which will undoubtedly be added
many votes cast by others in compli-
ment to his sturdy qualities as citi-
zen and as man.
He is a man of firmness, sagacity
and forethought, liberal in his views
and tenacious in his opinion, and pos
sesses the attributes that make good
citizen and a successful official Hav-
ing kept his standing in the party at
all times whether successful as can
didate or defeated, the Republicans of
Lackawanna county are now deter
mined that Mr.. Beck shall receive the
honors and emoluments due him at
this election.

are many additional circumstances
