The Trusts. the Only Issue.

From the very outset of the con-
gressional campaign there has been
systematic attempt made bv the
Republican candidate to becloud
the issues. a malicious slander
has filled the columns Of the Repub.
lican press and is even now circu-
lated, Notwithstanding flank and
emphatic denial has been made by
Mr.. Dickerman. This evasion has
become so marked that it is well to
inquire the cause. Does the Re-
publican candidate think that a
campaign based on a falsehcod will
deceive Our people? Does he be-
lieve that President Roosevelt's
speeches on his New England trip
are wasted words? Does he fancy
that the coal famine with its attend
ant misery and discomfort has not
branded on the minds of every one,
that there is but one issue and only
one before the country today and
that is the Trusts?
The congressional election is so
involved with local and county
matters that one is apt to overlook
its national prominence. The farm
er and mechanic groan over paying
forty-one cents keg tribute to the
Nail Trust. The laborer aud min
er lament forty per cent increase
in their living expenses, yet all per-
haps forget that the remedy is
simple
While an issue is being made out
of the possible state of candidates
health or misrepresentation, the
Trusts are silently but surely pre-
pairing for the contest that must
come. The battle will be fought
in the congress of the United States,
but the victory will be decided on
the fourth of next November. A
ballot cast for a Trust candidate is
blow at the cause of the people.
a suffrage given to man known
to be tainted with corporate greed
is all encouragement to further cor
poration aggression.
Some weeks ago in these columns
we gave a briet outline of what is
familiarly known as the "Cut Nail
Trust" and showed that the F. A.
Godcharles Company through its
connection with the Trusts was
forcing an abnormal profit from
our people. We named specific i'll
stances in which the Republican
candidates company had quoted
the current trust price. Our state
ments have never been denied, the
only answer has been a further at
tempt TO conceal the real issue, con-
sequently we brand the candidacy
of the Hon. Fred A. Godcharles as
being in the interests of the Trusts
and Monopolies, and assert that if
elected his efforts will be toward
furthering their ends.

There never WAS a time in the
history of Pennsylvania when the
vote of every loyal Democrat was
more needed than at the coming
election. There never was time
when a Democrat could do more
injury to himself and his party by
refusing to vote his party ticket or
any part Of it, than just now. The
issue in the coming election is not
merely fight for partisan suprem-
acy in the state. 1t is a struggle
for honest government, and to drive
from power the men who have so
entrenched their political machine,
and so debauched the politics of
Pennsylvania that the fair name of
the Commonwealth has become a
byword everywhere as a synonym
for all that is corrupt in public affairs,
Bribery in the legislature; legisla-
ton i'll the interest of the few who
have been enriched by legalized
robbery III shape of valuable fran
chises wrested from the people; the
public robbed by new capitol jobs;
United States Senator elected by
methods which were characterized
by Lieutenant Governor Goblin as
the worst he ever knew; promises OF
ballot reform ignored by the party
in power; these and many other
things appeal to every voter to cast
his ballot against the ring that has
made it all possible in Pennsylvania.
Every Democrat should get to the
polls and vote for the whole ticket
from top to bottom.

The President has made his first
effort to curtail the rapacity of the
Trusts. From a constitutional
amendment he jumped to the con-
clusion that moral suasion" was
the remedy. He has tried the lat
ter on the Coal Trust with as much
effect as his constitutional amend
ment would have amounted to.
The one remedy is impossible, the
other impotent. Why does he not
instruct his Attorney General to
proceed against this greedy cornbi.
nation under the provisions of the
Sherman antitrust act? Existing
law. in cases of this kind, is far
more effective than moral sua-
sion. The reason seems very
plain. The administration is not
in position to take this step be-
cause it would destroy the founda-
tion upon which the Republican
party rests. The Trusts furnish
the cash to keep the Republican
party in power, and if this cash is
taken from beneath the Republican
Trust-made- tariff structure the
whole political edihce must fall to
the ground.

in said convention held on the tenth
of June, 1902, did not contain the
officially designated instructions to
voters required by the amended
fourth section of article two of said
rules of the Democratic party of

tions contained on said ballot were
misleading to the voters and in vio

Third--That William H. Fisher,
who objects to said certificate, was
a candidate for County Commission
er at said Democratic primary
election; that he was at that time
and is still Democratic voter re-
siding in the election district of
Main township, said county, which
said district lies South of the Sus-
quehanna river in said county; and
the said William II. Fisher was
duly registered as a candidate of
the Democratic party for said Office
of County Commissioner therein;
that said registry was made with
the Democratic County Chairman
of said Columbia county, c. A.
Small, OH the 2oth day of April
1902, and was the only candidate
of said Democratic party for said
Office of County Commissioner re-
riding in the district lying South of

the rules aforesaid was entitled TO
be nominated as a candidate OF said
party from the district lying South
of the said river.

received according to the official
count of said convention = Il :; y
votes for the Office of County Com

Office, and being the only candidate
for the same on the South side of

titled to be nominated by said con-
ven.ion.
Fifth. That said convention vio-

Commissioner to be made, one from
the North side and one from the
South side of the river.
