Republican nominee for the con-
gressional short term in this district,
is one of his towns most progr2 2ssive
and public spirited citizens. He
has reached his present prominent
position in the business world by
dint of his own determined will
power and energy, at all times keeps
ing pace with the requirElents of the
business world requisites which
peculiarly fit him to honestly and
carefully legislate in the interest OF
his constituents.
"Mr. Lord was born in Ashland;
Schuylkill Co., Pa, October 10, 1864,
and attending the public schools
graduated with hOnOrs from the
same in 1877 before he had reached
his thirteenth year.
'sOn account of the serious illness
of his father he was compelled to
seek employment and secured a
position as slate picker at the Bast
colliery. Determined to succeed in
life he was so attentive to his duties
and earnest in his endeavOrs that
before many years he had pushed
himself forward through various
positions of trust to that of shipping
clerk. He worked in and around
the collieries for thirteen years.
Two years before resigning as
shipping clerk he launched into bus
mess in Mt. Carmel, at the same
time working at the mines in the
day time and his store morning and
evening until he had trade estab-
lished, when in 1887 he resigned his
position and took personal charge of
his business interests in which he
has been emint ntly successful, being
the owner of Mt. Carmel's leading
store s1'he Rink" which is the lar
geSt in the community.
He has always kept in touch with
all public matters in his town and
county and has served many years
on the local board of education and
was president of that body. He is
prominently identified with many
public industries and an active mem
Der of the board of trade and also
secretary of the Anthracite Associa-
ton. He comes before the voters
of this district as a public spirited
and progressive citizen and one em-
inently fitted for the office to which
he aspires and should receive the
hearty endorsement of the voters in
this district. Coming from the
ranks of labor he knows their wants
and will always be found on the side
of right. With the same determi-
nation that has characterized his en-
tire life he enters the congressional
contest and will make an earnest
effort to be elected. Remember him
at the polls yourself and ask your
| friends to support him."
Is not man of this character and
type safe one to place in a position
of trust?
