BELIEVES IN MAJORITY RULE.
Believing in the principle of the
right sf the majority to rule, Mr.. Har-
r1s voted for Hon. Boies Penrose for
United States senator In 1897, and for
Hon. M. .. Quay in 1898 and in 1901.
Many Of the most important bills that
have become laws since 1896 were in
troduceu and supported by Frank G.
Harris; and the famous anti-oleomar-
garine law of 1901 in the interest of
Che Pennsylvania farmers was intro
dueed into the house and supported
by him. The whole legislative career
Of Frank q. Harris has been fair, up
right and honorable, and his ability
and Integrity are unquestioned.
Hon. w. o. Smith, of the Punxsu-
tawpey Spirit, who has known Mr..
Harris for many years. and who
ssrvNd with him in the legislature,
says Frank q. Harris our neighbor
from Clearfield, who received the NOM
ination for state treasurer. is a man
of sterling qualities, who will per-
form the duties of that Office in
manner that will reflect credit upon
his party and upon the state. He is
man for whom everybody who admires
pluck and perseverance, should take
pleasure in voting. Left an orphan
boy in early childhood, he struggled
up through poverty and toll to an hon
orable position among men. Mr.. Kel-
ley, in placing him in nomination, said
he had known Frank Harris from child
hood. and had never known him to do
a dishonorable act Men are true to
their characters, and a man who has
kept his integrity for more than so
years and won the confidence and es-
TEEN of his neighbors, is safe man
to trust"
A DEMOCRATIC TRIBUTE.
And Matt Savage, of the Public
Spirit, the leading Democratic paper
of Clearfield, Mr.. Harris home, says:
"Mr. Harris is known at home and
abroad as a man OF high character,
strictest integrity, undoubted honesty
and unqusstioned ability" For 30 years
Mr.. Harris has been an acceptable
member of the Methodist Episcopal
church. He is a member of Clearfield
