Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-02-15

tho nomination of such Il man met the
demands OF popular feeling, irrespective
| of party lines is shown by the deep in
terest which the best elements Of Free
land borough are taking in his election
Intelligence. resp"ctabilIty, sobriety and
good common sense are the main quail
ticatIons which the law-obeying people
OF the community demand shall be part
Of the daily life Of Freeland's chief
executive, and In Mr. Boyle these attri-
| butes are found. His life has been lived
under the eyes OF our citizens, and the
| voters Of town can attest their apprecia-
ton OF honesty and good citizenship in
no better manner than by recording
their votes for the Democratic nominee.
For the office of tax collector there
is not a citizen in town who does not
| concede an overwhelming majority for
| Hugh Malloy. To do otherwise is to
stamp man q bigoted partisan, one
who refuses to acknowledge the infall-
ible signs Of the times Six years ago
the candidate named by the Democrats
was chosen to this Office by the voters of
town, and when his three-year term
| expired the unanimous verdict of the
taxpayers and every public body with
which he transacted business was this:
Hugh Malloy was the best tax collector
Freeland borough ever had" That was
true then, and his unparallelable record
stands today unapproachable Every
cent charged on his duplicates was paid
long before it became due, and no branch
OF the public service suffered moments
Inconvenience through any fault OF the
collector. With such record behind
him 1t is no wonder that the opposition
to him comes only from men for whom
public office has n fascination which
they, unfortunately, are unable to resist.
Mr.. Malloy, personally, is known the
county over as one OF Freeland's repre-
sentative business men. His activity
and earnestness in every movement
which has had for its object the advance
ment of the town and its people are too
well known to repeat here. When Free
land was one of the infant municipalities
Of the state, Mr.. Malloy placed his saw
ings In Freeland property, stalking all
his earthly possessions on its future
He became one of It's leading merchants,
identified himself with every movement
that promised to increase its growth and
no stauncher friend or advocate of the
town can be found. His name, his
| capital and all the labor he can give are
ready at all times to be offered for Free
land. Philosophical men of this class,
who are friends and defenders of the
town when out OF office as readily as
when in, are the kind Freeland voters
need to pin their faith to, and in doing
so they will give public notice that
Freeland never forsakes the men who
stand up for the town all the year
round.
Henry Krone, the gentlemanly young
man who has been named for auditor, is
well educated and in every manner
fully qualified to perform the duties of
the office. So 1t is with the several
candidates who aspire to district Offices
They have been placed on the ticket
because In their hands the affairs of the
positions for which they have been
named will be administered in the man
ner ordained by law. Among the ward
candidates Is School Director George
Schaub, who has been renomnated in
the Third. His record on the board
during the past three years has been
such that his party felt it its duty to
place him again before the voters of
his district. As a director he has
served faithfully and faithful work in
that position is deserving of another
trial. Mr. Schanb, while in ward
which generally returns a Republican
majority, is not without friends and his
chances Of success are considered good.
The Fourth ward has been the scene
of several hard fought battles, and on
Tuesday another will be added to the
list. The candidates there are Albert
Goeppert for school director and DR.. f.
w. Rutter for council Had the Demo-
Gratis OF the ward searched until dooms-
day Tor two better men their quest
would have been in vain. Mr. Goep-
pert is popular and Intelligent citizen
who would honor the school board with
his presence and upon whose judgment
In directing the affairs of this now i'm
