SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY
Enthusiastic Meeting of Republicans
Is Held in Village Hall in Mont
rose-other Newsy Topics,
Special to the Scranton Tribune.

Special to the Scranton Tribune
Montrose, Sept. 26.--The Republican
campaign in Susquehanna county was
opened by a meeting held in Village
hall last night. The meeting was in
formal, and no special effort had been
made to attract a crowd, but the crowd
was there for all that. At the hour of
meeting there was present a good
natured and enthusiastic assemblage
of the Republican voters of Montrose
and Bridgewater. There was no ap-
athy, there was no over-confldence. IT
was a gathering of men fully aware of
the importance of the campaign and
of the determined contest that must be
made to ensure complete Republican
victory.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Ralph b. Little, of the Re
publican county committee, who stated
the object of the meeting to be the or
ganization of a Mckinley and Roose-
welt campaign club, and then intro
duced the newly organized Glee club,
which rendered a spirited song, the
burden Of which was There will be no
change in the white house: they cam
not turn Mckinley out" The song and
its sentiment were cheered to the echo.
Chairman Little called for nomina-
tions for the office of president of the
club, and Captain r. James McCaus-
land was named and was unanimously
elected to the position.
On assuming the chair, Captain Nc
Causland made a brief address. in
which some telling hits were tailed
against the latter-day Democracy, to
the manifest delight of his hearers.
The organization of the club was
completed by the election of George G.
Burns, secretary: T. j. Davies and A.
b. Smith. jr., of Montrose, and b.
Frank Jones and r. II. Pickering, Of
BridGewater, vice-presidents. An op-
portunity was given for those who de-
sired to sign the roll and become MEM
bers of the club. Every voter in the
house responded to this invitation with
alacrity.
Rousing addresses were made by r.
j. Davies, A. b. Smith, jr., County
Chairman. Little and Captain II. y.
Be2rdsley. Each speaker was warmly
greeted, and the gospel of Republican,
ism which they proclaimed aroused the
people to high pitch of enthusiasm.
A bevy of ladies in the gallery graced
the meeting with their presence, and
the applause which they accorded the
speakers was none less hearty than
that given by the sterner SEX
The organization of this club will be
Immediately followed by the formation
of similar clubs throughout the county,
The signs are plentiful that the Re
publicans Of Susquehanna county are
aroused, and when this is the case, the
outcome is sure to be an overwhelm-
ing Republican victory on election day.

Yesterdays s. returns in The Tribune's
Educational Contest wrought consider
able havoc with the standing. In yes
terday's Tribune attention was called
to the fact that the contestants were
divided into two distinct sets of six
each. This morning the first set is
composed of seven, Miss Mary Yeager
of Moscow, having passed her first
century and is drawing very close to
sixth place-one or two more returns
like yesterdays and she will be crowd
ing close to third
Charles Rodriguez scored his third
century, but David V. Birtley is six
points nearer than he was yesterday.
Arthur Kemmerer made the second
largest return of the day, passing up
from sixth to fourth position, compell-
ing Oliver Callahan and David c.
Spencer to drop to fifth and sixth re-
spectively. Fannie L. Williams, Of
Peckville, succeeded in scoring enough
points to pass Harry Reese and ap-
pears In eighth place. Eugene Boland
ako made a material gain, but not
sufficient to raise him above tenth
place.
AS an instance of the closeness of
the race may be noticed the fact that
there are three contestants within the
scope of 20 points and three others
within the 140 portion. Even a few
points makes material changes each
day and the standing at the finish it is
impossible to estimate or even conjec-
ture.
But three days remain and in these
three daVS great possibilities are with
in the grasp of many of these young
men and women. But two more an
nouncemcnts of the standing will be
made and the next will be the final re-
suit. In what order will these names
appear on Monday morning, October
/? Who can tell?

will never come true unless she has
