The Huff candidates won out at the
Westmoreland county primaries, last
Saturday.
The Democratic County Convention
was held in the Court House, Monday
afternoon. Ex-County Commissioners
J. A. Eichert, presided. Albert G.
Troufman was elected County Chair
man and L. G. FL Keck and Will j.
Rattigan, Secretaries.
A count of the vote developed that
there had been a contest for National
Delegate, c. NJ. Heineman was the only
candidate announced, but little quiet
letter writing had been done in behalf
of Lev McQuistion and the count show
ed McQuistion 201, Heineman 1893
Harry T. Rattigan was elected State
Delegate. c. NJ. Heineman was nomi-
mated for Congress, p. r. Burke OF
Karns City for State Senate, James A.
Mckee of Butler and q ID. Strohecker
of Zelienople for State Legislature;
Col. Mechling was elected Alternate
National Delega3e. Imperialism and
the Dingley tariff law were denounced,
and Tom Frazier hurrahed for Hearst
for President.
But little interest was taken in the

of this county should allow their on
thusiasm to be warmed by the August
sun, and their Judgment to be cooled
by the September breeze5 before risking
primary election.
In Connecticut court, the other day,
VIM. Jennings Bryan was told to sit
down, and some Democrats would like
to add Ego way back" to that COM
mand.
VIM. Allen White, the well known
writer. says that the character of Sena-
tor Burton, lately convicted in a U. s.
Court of completely in fraud on the
the postoffice department, was well
known in Kansas for years before his
election. He was charged dozens of
times in the newspapers Of the State, T"
says White, with being boodler, with
out the slightest resentment on Burton's 9
part
How, then, could politician of such
antecedents be elected to the Senate
from Kansas? Mr.. White is equally
positive on that point. Every local
attorney for the Rock Island, the Mis-
souri, Pacific, the Santa Fe and the
Union Pacific who had any influence
was at Topeka working for Burton, +"
and doing it, too, under ''peremptory
orders" from the headquarters of these
corporations that they support Burton
or lose their places"
Such an assertion from man of Mr..
Whites standing certainly pats the onus
on the corporations named. 1t would
be very pertinent for them to let the
public know the foundation of their
function to dictate the election of Sena-
tors; whether they did order the cleo
tion of man of notoriously bad legisla-
tive character, and, if SO, for what uses
they desired boodler in the United
States Senate. Mr. Whites assertion
casts an interesting sidelight ON the no.
.torious failure of Congress to pass the
measures to provide effective prevention

roads have had their effect in reiarding
the starting Of new work in the South
