" i ISN'T an issue in this campaign; +;

because experience has shown that
some voters can he scared by any kind
OF fool howl if it is made long enough
and loud enough to drown out their
judgment and common sense.
But if they want To talk ripper let us
insist that they tell the truth. Who
drew up the ripper? One of the big
Gest fingers in the pie was George w.
Guthrie, now running ON the Dem
Ocratc ticket for lieutenant governor.
Guthrie shouted for ripper until YOU
might have believed that if he didn't
get one he would never be happy again
When William Connell and other level
headed Republicans We're warning the
leaders at Harrisburg that the ripper
clause in the new city charter bill was
loaded, and that they would have
trouble If they undertook to yank out

Moir was not ripped. He resigned.
And when Governor Stone asked Mr..
Connell TO recommend successor he
made choice which we are certain is
giving general satisfaction. City af-

PLEASED WITH SCRANTON.

\ staff correspondent OF the Doylestown
Daily Intelligencer who was in Scranton
last week writes this about the city.
"Scranton-hustle.
'Those two words tell the whole story
in nutshell.
"A western city, planted in the north,
eastern part of Pennsylvania, steadily
growing now, with the prospect of even
greater strides in the future with all the
influential business men of the city doing
their utmost to push the place into the
foremost of the business world OF today,
is what Scranton really is.
Restless tireless activity, Il willingness
to taking daring initiative, a civic and
industrally creative spirit, untrammeled
by useless traditions, rich in material
things-and as we'll, in the culture and
refinement of its citizens -educa tional in-
stiutions of recognized merit, substantial
and handsomely built, excellent transpor-
tation facilities, all these go to do their
part I'm making Scranton a city that would
tell its founders, could they see II today,
that they 'builded better than they knew

Without that there is and can only be
