Republican candidates in the county

Judge Carpenter during the short
time he has been on the bench has
won the confidence and good opinion
OF everyone connected in any way with
the courts of the county. Without dis
paragement to the able men who nov
sit with him on the bench OF this corn-
ty. or the distinguished men who pre-
ccded them. it can be truthfully said
that LackaWanna has never had in its
judiciary a man who was more truly
intended by nature for a judge than j.
w. Carpenter. Calm, patient and
learned, with a mind of great clearness
and fairness, he is the ideal OF what Il
man ought to be who is called by his
fellow men TO adjudicate for them IN
matters where their lives, liberty ana
property are at issue.
Edward a. Jones was ASSIGNED by
Governor Stone TO the difficult task of
opening the office of controller in this
county. 1t is an office with many and
complex duties, even after Il system
has been adopted, and it has been in
smooth working order for years. The
task, then, which confronts a man who
must create the system, open the
books and establish the new relations
with all of the other county officials
can be imagined. Mr.. Jones is doing all
this in the most satisfactory manner
without the slightest friction or un-
pleasantness. He ought in all Justice
% be continued in the office for which
he has displayed such fitness. The Of
