FOR THE SHORT TERM.

Some do not understand about the
long term and short term of county
superintendent It's this way.
The late county superintendent, j.
NJ Hanks, died in office The county
commissioners could appoint his sue
cessor only until the next election.
They appointed a sister of Mr.. Hanks
Mrs. NJ. A. Wilson,, who had worked
with him in the Office and was famil-
lar with all the details. 1t was a
clever thing for the commissioners to
do. She will serve by this appoint
ment until after the election on Nov.
5th. Then the one elected for the
short term will hold Office from that
time until January-only about two
months the long term man
comes in.
The Republicans have nominated
Mrs. M. A. Wilson for this short
term. Sentiment as we'll as good
business suggests that she be con-
sinued in Office for this short period.

The Independent voter cannot help
being attracted to the Republican
ticket this year. The Republican
ticket was made up with but one idea
that of finding men who would best
serve the best interests of the peo-
pie in county affairs. There is not 3
man on the Republican ticket who
needs any apology. They are all
particularly clean, respectable, worthy
citizens. Examine each one care
fully. Put him beside his opponent
on either of the other tickets. You
will find every such comparison favors
the Republican. The independent
voter can vote = straight Republican
ticket this year and feel that he has
picked out the best man in the race
for each Office to be filled.

HARMONY PREVAILS.

Political parties should be regarded
as families. United there is present
always a unity of purpose. With dis
sention the reverse is true. Fortu-
nately this year there prevails in the
Republican party of Fremont county
the most perfect harmony. Every
member of the party is working for
the success of the entire ticket. The
indications point unmistakably to the
election of the Republican ticket en-
tire. There is no reason, either from
business or moral standpoint, why
this should not be accomplished.
Each candidate possesses special
qualifications for the duties of the
office to which he aspires; besides
this, most of them have had expert
ence in the office work.
Fremont county under Republican
management has ever prospered.
There have been no scandals. Party
ascendency has never been per-
mitted to become paramount to the
good of the county, but has always
been held subservient to one of the
fundamental principles of Republican
ism-that of the greatest good to the
greatest number.
No party with such splendid
record need fear this year to go be-
fore the people asking for support to
such clean, business-like and COM
petent set of candidates as tlose on
the Republican ticket.

The Republicans in county conven-

Not SO with the Democrats. They
were so engrossed over the spoils of
office that such a trifling matter as
the assassination of President Nc
Kinley was not considered of suffi-
cient importance to engage their at

less it met the severe test of justice

possessed OF rare insight. he was en-
abled to analyze propositions very
readily. He won the respect of his
political opponents because OF his
fairness in all matters pertaining to
county affairs. The Republicans real

DANCER in OVER CONFIDENCE.

There is but one danger to the Re-
publican ticket this fell. 1t is the over
confidence all are beginning to feel Of
sure Republican victory. If every
Republican il registered and votes
there isn't shadow Of doubt that
the Republican ticket will get more
votes than both Populist and Demo-
cratic combined. But if thousand
Republicans stay at home on election
day because of a sure feeling that
their votes are not needed then there
is danger of Populist slipping in.
Republicans should be alive to the
situation. Never in the history of
the county have we had such fiatter-
ing chances of success. But we must
not go to sleep. Let us get every
possible vote to the polls. We may
need them.

If ALL the Democrats who have de-

for the Democratic or Populist tickets
to let the candidates know they are

SHAMROCK II.

Certainly Colum5ia's superiority in
light airs appears to have been dem
onstrated. Shamrock II. did not
make as good a showing as did Lip
tons first challenger in the first half
dozen fukes that preceded the races
two years ago. What the Shamrock
may be able to do in heavy weather
is of course probl2matical, but Column
bia has been tried and all her ad-
mirers insist that she is distinctly a
heavy weather boat.
Two years ago Sir Thomas prayer
was for wind, but when he got
smart 25-knot gale in the last race
Columbia's victory was even more de-
csive than in the first. Since then
Columba's ability in heavy weather
has been proven again and again. The
harder it blows the faster she goes
and the better she behaves. 1t is not
strange, therefore, that the patriotic
shippers and spectators who went
down to Sandy Hook with misgivings,
returned last night reassured.

POLICIES OF ROOSEVELT.
Thoroughly In Accord with Those of
the Late President Nc
I[iu.ey.

Theodore Roosevelt is now president
of the United States. He succeeds a
president with whom he held the most
cordial relations, personally and Off
cially. and of whose policies he was the
most conspicuous exponent.
When Vice President Tyler succeeded
Harrison, in 1S41, there was fear of a
reversal of party policy. When Fill
more succeeded Taylor, in 1S49, there
was doubt as to the attitude Of the new
president on certain party measures.
When Johnson succeeded Lincoln, in
1865. there was fear on one side that he
would go too far, and on the other that
he would not go far enough. When
Arthur succeeded Garfield, in 1851, the
public was disturbed by fears of a
change of policy, which, happily, were
dispelled.
But in the case of Roosevelt there are
no doubts-no fears. In the first ad-
ministration of President Mckinley he
held a position that associated him
closely with the initiative in carrying
out the war policy. All through that
administration he was one of the presi-
den,'s most trusted friends and advis-
ers. When nominated for t he vice pres
idency he discussed and approved the
same policies as were discussed and
approved by the candidate for presi-
dent.
The letters of acceptance of Mckinley
and Roosevelt were conspicuous for
their harmony and for their forceful
treatment of distinctively American
questions. Mr.. Roosevelt's speeches
during the campaign of 1900 were mas
terly presentations of the expansion,
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1901-10-03

financial and economic policies of the
president. The inaugura. addresses of
president and vice president were on
the same key.
The presidents message in Decem-
Der, 1900, emphasized the policies and
measures which Roosevelt had dis
cussed. As president and vice presi-
dent the two were in the closest per
sonal and official relations. With this
record in mind, there can be no suspi-
cion of a change of policy through the
succession of Mr.. Roosevelt to the pres
idency.
But no possibility of doubt remains
when the last public utterances of the
two men are compared. In the first
week in September Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Mckinley delivered carefully pre-
pared addresses at Minneapolis and 1T
Buffalo, respectively. Both had the
dignity of state papers, and the tragedy
that followed gives to each increased
significance.
A comparison shows that each man
had in mind the same high purpose as
to the missions Of this government, the
same determination as to persistence
in the policy that has given the United
States such prosperity and prestige.
and illustrates in a most striking way
their unity of thought, their similarity
of view as to the possibilities of and
confidence in the future of this ma
tion.
Without doubt these two addresses,
even before the tragedy at Buffalo,
gave comfort and confidence to the
American people, and most particular
ly to the business and financial inter
ests.
In his address at Buffalo the presi-
dent said: "We have a vast and intri-
cate business, built up through years
of toll and struggle, in which every
part of the country has its stake, which
will not permit of either neglect or un-
due seltishness.
"Reciprocity is the natural out
growth of our wonderful industria! de-
velopment under the domestic policy
now firmly established. i :; The
period of eXclusiveness is past. The
expansion of our trade and commerce
is the pressing problem. Commercial
wars are unprofitablc. A policy of good
will and friendly trade relations will
prevent reprisals. Reciprocity treaties
are in harmony with the spirit of the
time; measures of retalia tion are not" :"
Touching on the same point in his
Minneapolis speech, Mr.. Roosevelt
said: 1--WE must continue the policy
that has been so brilliantly succe cessful
in the past and so shape our economic
system as to give every advantage to
skill and energy and intelligence of cur
farmers, merchants, manufacturers

NICOLAY is DEAD.
Man who Was President AincoIn,s
Private Secretary Passes Away NJ REis
Home in Washington.

Washington, Sept. 27.-John George
Nicolay, private secretary to Presi-
dent Lincoln and widely known as the
author of several works on the life
of the great war president, died
Thursday at his residence here, aged
70 years. He had been in feeble
health for several years and since his
resignation as marshal of the United
States supreme court in 1857 had
been living quietly at his Washington
home with his daughter. Miss Helen
Nicolay, the only surviving member
of the family.
Mr.. Nicolay was a native of Bava-
ria, but came to America at an early
age and settled in Illinois. In 1859
he became Mr.. Lincoln's secretary
and served in this capacity during the
civil war. He was appointed consul
at Paris in 1865, holding the Office
four years. He was marshal of the
supreme court for Is years.

dent and the power behind the

or, dc. fprt
have we heard it before ?''-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
GTIf President Roosevelt is report-
ed correctly, he favors the establish
ment of steamship lines to South and
Central America and other points
where trade can be developed, rath-
er than to European ports between
which there is already an abundance
of steamship lines. There is reason
to believe that ship subsidy bill to
establish such lines as the president
has mentioned will not meet the op-
position which the proposition to aid
European lines called out.-lndianap-
oils Journal.
GSNot since the death of Lincoln
have the American people been so
profoundly shocked as by the report
that President Mckinley has been as
sassinated. 1t is doubly tragic that
the president should have been
struck down at the great American
exposition where only Il day before
he had delivered an address which
undoubtedly will rank as the most
noteworthy utterance of his public
career. Never before had Mr.. Me-
Kinley given clearer proof that he
possessed the qualities of foreseeing
craftsmanship than in this last
speech. Transcript.

London, Sept. 27.-The failure OF
the yachts to cover the course in time
to constitute race has created gem
eral disappointment in Great Britain,
but chagrin at the apparent poor
showing of Shamrock IL. overshadows
all other expressions of feeling. The
suburban population of London was
kept advised of the progress of events
by pyrotechnics at the Alexandra and
Crystal palaces. The London crowds
chiefly gathered on the embankment,
watching the red and green electric
lights making progress up the high
tower, in accordance with the varys,
ing positions of the yachts.
