The enemies of Senator Hertzler
have been busy the past week talk
ing against Hertzler to influence
as much as they can voters in Per-
ry and Mifflin counties to vote

punishment to man Juniata cOun
ty people were in need of great
deal of punishment for they have
had a great deal of drought. The
probability is the people would'n
