F1r. Josiah Howard.

MIR. Josiah Howard, the Republican
nominee for Assemblyman needs
no introduction to the people
of Cameron county. For seven
teen years he has been a resident OF
Emporium, and during that time has
been identified with one of our largest
lumber firms. AS business man he
stands among the first in the county,
in the capacity for organization and
management. Progressive in spirit
and method, he is also prudent in judg-
ment. 1t is no injustice to his able as.
sociates to say that the success of the
firm has been chiefly due to the lead
ership, at once cautious and progress
sive, of Mr.. Howard We mention his
success as a business man because of
the guarantee it affords of his posses.
sion of those qualities of alertness, in
dependence, energy, and of integrity
and stability of character, which con-
stituents have a right to demand in
their representatives. He has also
shown these qualities in the offices of
councilman and Burgess of Emporium.
Mr.. Howard is we'll recognized as
being some thing more than busi-
ness man in the narrow sense of that
term. Too often corporations and
firms care nothing for the broader in
terests of the communities in which
they operate In numerous ways it
has been made manifest that MIR.
Howard has sincerely at heart the per-
manent upbuilding of the industries of
Cameron County and it's sure ad.
vancement in the higher concerns of
religion, morality and intelligence.
Even his political opponents bear
hearty testimony to his fearless and
consistent opposition to the misuse of
money in the political campaigns of
the county. No one questions the
nobleness of his purpose nor the
honesty of his aim in his devotion
to the public welfare. No one can
doubt the sincerity and earnestness of
hls appeal to the county to have faith
in itself and in its own future.
Mr.. Howard is admirably uualiffed
to serve as the county's representative
at Harrisburg A good Republican,
he is no narrow partisan, but will con-
scientiously and intelligently serve
the interests of the whole people. AL
ready he is perhaps as we'll knownsout-
side the county as is any man in it.
and he has not been without exper-
ience in affairs of more than local
scope. He has frequently represented
Emmanuel Parish in the Conventions
of the Diocese; three years ago he was
one ofthe representative of the Dio.
cese in the General Convention at San
Francisco; last year and the yeer be-
fore he represented the Diocese in the
Missionary Councils at Philadelphia
and Washington. He is to-day one of
the vice-presidents of the state organ
izatioD of she State Sunday School AS
sociation. Loyal to his own church
and active in its concerns, he heartily
recognizes the good part that other
churches are taking in advancing the
moral and religious life of the county,
and by the members of other churches.
regardless ofcreed, he is recognized as
llbe- u minded and generous friend
of every worthy cause and object.
1t is gratifying to note the unforced
tributes to his character and his fitness
as a candidate, which come from the
members of the other party. Certain
iy 1t Will bea long time ere the county
will have an opportunity to vote for a
better man than Mr.. Josiah Howard.
The people know this and will elect
him by one of the largest votes in the
history of the county.
