Governor Pattison, Dead.

Robert e. Pattison, who was twice
Democratic governor Of Pennsylva-
mia, and twice controller Of Phila-
delphia, died early last Thursday at
his home IN Overlook, a suberb Of
Philadelphia. Pneumonia, compli.
Gated with a weakness Of the heart
was the cause Of death. He was 53
years old,
Mr.. Pattison was a candidate for
governor on the Democratic ticket
against Governor Pennypacker in
1902, and has not been we'll man
since the laborlous campaign In
that year. He was member of the
committee on resolutions of the re-
cent Democratic convention at St.
Louis, and his health failed under
the strain. He remained in St.
LOUIS few days after the conven-
ton to rest, and returning home,
resumed Lis business, dividing his
time between this city and New
York.
Last Friday, pneumonia developed
and heart complications aggravated
Mr.. Pattison's illness. Late last
night he collapsed. Saline injec-
tions were resorted to but to
patient sank rapidly, and died short

THE PLATTER CLEAN.
The te.Ambrose-R Ryan Faction
Sweep Sands off the Horizon.

Last year there was tie and
much doubt in the Republican
Central Committee, but there is no
doubt this time. The White fac
tion swept the platter clean, get
ting about 81 out of the 26 com
mitteemen in the county. The
difference between the close call
for White-Am brose last year and
their signal victory of this year,
was made up by that giant in
political schemes, Cap. Ryan.
White and Ambrose have been
branded by the Murray City News
and by word of mouth everywhere,
to be opposed to labor organization.
Whether true or not, it took Cap.
Ryan, the father of organized
labor in Hooking, to come to their
rescue, and lead the labor vote
against Sands.

A Great Brick Plant.

An addition is now being made
to the Logan Brick Mfg. Co.
which, when completed will make
it one of the largest brick plants
in the U. s..
Fifteen new brick kilns are now
under way, five of which are en-
tirely completed and two filled
with brick. Before this part of
the work is entirely completed,
they expect to have 30 kilns.
A spur from the old tramway
has been erected which will con-
vey clay cars to the new plant.
From this, at an elevation of 90
feet, the clay will be sent by
means Of chutes 70 the dry pan
1t is then elevated to the top of
screens and, passing over these,
enters the pugmill.
The new machinery Is all in
place, the capacity of the brick
machine being 100000 paving
blocks per day. A large engine,
$50 horse power of Corliss type is
in position. This is in the new
building which is 14O by $50 it.
and is made absolutely fire proof.
The line shafting is in. in
diameter and supported by brick
piers laid in Portland cement.
The Dry room is 9O-13O ft. and
is heated by what is known as the
waste heat system. The capacity
of this room is 100, 200 bricks pei
day. These bricks are dried by
cooling kilns thereby saving all
fuel necessary for drying pur-
poses.
The plant when completed will
employ $50 new men and will be
the largest single brick plant in
the U. S. This is great indus
try for Logan and a thing OF
which we may justly be proud.

Gloves In Early Days.

In the early days everything
was not regulated for the people,
as'it is now, by the government and
the law courts. Europe was still
young then, and people had rough
and ready means of dealing with
one another, of buying and selling
or giving goods and property and
settling disputes, says st. Nicho-
las. A glove, as it was very close
indeed to mans hand, came in
course Of time to be looked upon
as taking the place of the hand it.
self, and sometimes took the
mans place and was made to rep
resent him.
For example: To open fair 1t
was necessary then to have the
consent and protection of the
great lord in whose country it was
going to be held. Those who
wished to have the fair would
come to the nobleman and petit
tion him to be present. He might
be very busy, or bored at the idea
of having to go, yet he would know
that it must be opened or his peo-
pie would be discontentcd. So he
would say to the leaders of the
people: ono, my trusty fellows, 1
can't open the fair in person, but
l will send my glove to do it. You
all know my glove. Nobody
has one like it in the country.
1t is the one my lady mother en-
| broidered for me in colored silks
and silver wire, and it has deep
violet fringe. You can hang it
above the entrance of your fair
grounds. as sign that you are act
ing with my permission. If any
one disputes your right or touches
his masters glove, will attend to
him, that's ALL" So the glove
would travel in state to open the
fair.

Bryan VIII Take Stump For Ticket.

William j. Bryan has informed
Judge Parker through his friend,
Edward G. Wall, that he is not
only going to give the candidate
of the party his most loyal sup
port, but that he will stump the
county for Parker and Davis at
whatever points the Democratic
National Committee designates.
At the same time, Mr.. Wall
stated that William j. Bryan In
no wise recants his historic be-
liefs. In his declaration from Lin
coin, dated July 13, Mr.. Bryan
said that as soon as the pending
campaign is over, he will, with
the assistance of those who believe
as he does, undertake to organize
for the campaign of 1908.
81 cannot say that Mr.. Bryan
has renounced his own convictions
since this manifesto was issued" )"
said Mr., Wall today, after con-
ference with Judge Parker. "For
he has not. But his convictions
and the principles that he placed
before the st. Louis convention
were rejected by it and he is ready
to accept and abide by that decis-
ion. Yet, he believes time will
show him to have been right, and
that in succeeding campaigns the
Bryan ideas will again come to the
front.
In view of the admissions of
Senator Millard of Nebraska and
other Republicans in the Middle
West that Mr.. Bryan still has a
wonderful amount of political in
fluence and that he is preparing to
make whirlwind campaign, this
statement from Mr.. Wall, who al
though gold Democrat, has long
been friend and admirer of the
free e-silyer apostle, and whose
strength in Wisconsin and contig-
uous States lie acknowledged, this
message was one of the most cheer
ing notes of the campaign that has
been heard thus far at Rosemount. |

The Democrats of Vinton county
seem to have "lead pipe cincb' on
the matter of eleciing democratic
sheriff. Sheriff Wood has made go
good an official that no republican
has the nerve to oppose him. AS u
result, the republican county con-
vention, after tying In vain to

Crop Outlook.

The general summary in regard
to crops throughout the state for
the past week issued by Observer
j. Warren Smith says that the
general conditions are good and
the prospect for the most part en-
couraging.
In most sections of the state it
is said that the weather has been
excellent for harvesting. Rain
and storms in the north, central
and eastern counties, however
have retarded progress to some
extent. Hay and wheat have
been for the most part harvested,
and the harvesting of oats has be-
gun.
The outlook for corn is said to
be doubtful, though on we'll locat-
ed ground the yield is promising.
Garden crops are said to be
good. There seems to be a blight
on potatoes but the belief is ex-
pressed that the yield is fair.
Plums and pears are said to be
good, while apples are not
thought to be promising.
Indications are for large crop
of grapes.

A TRAVELLING man said he heard
one of the National Guard say
that he thanked the Lord they
were not going to stop at Logan,
but going on to Athens. Logan
also thanks the Lord that the SOL
diers are not going to stop here,
and if they act as badly in Athens
as they did here, it would be we'll
to keep them there and assign
them to Quarters in the Insane
Hospital.

The stork has the thanks OF the
editor and his family for the safe
arrival at their home of a bright
baby boy, AT d while this favor Is
highly appreciated and will be duly
cared for, we are not particular anx-
ious for Mr.. Stork to repeat the visit
mot for time at least. We are
not selfish in the matter and are
willing that he shall distribute his
further favors elsewhere. The new
arrival made his appearan nee
yesterday morning. He will bear
the name Of Frederick Eugene to
which is added the surname of his
paternal ancestor. Mother and
child are doing we'll, and the father,
in addition to paregoric prades and
other parental cares, is still able to
fill out subscription receipts, and
perform the other duties incidental
to print shop.

The primary is over and a good
ticket is nominated. The only
contest on the ticket was that of
Treasurer. Three stal warts
crossed bats in this friendly con-
test with j. w. Gabriel a winner
by probably less than so. Mr..
Vein, pulled out of the race to-
ward the last, and the field be-
tween Tom Trimmer and Gabriel,
was warm one, neither having
much the best of it. 1t took the
fiual count to determine whom had
the best of it. Now that the tick
ct is formed, it is the duty of every
Democrat to pull hard for the tick
ct. Our opponents will fight and
fight hard, and it is our business
10 get together and make the fight
of our lives, and we can elect every
man.

A Fight for Blood.

There will be a vigorous campaign
IN Ohio this year, and it will not q
one-sided affair, either. Both
parties, for the first time since 1897,
will be in the fight in earnest and
every inch Of the ground will be
contended.
Hon. John r. Nc Lean is a mem. .
Der OF the Democratic national
executive committee this year and
has communicated with a number OF
his political supporters in this state
on the campaign, He has assured
them that he will take an active part
in the fight and that the contest will
be one of organization.
General Dick will be fought with
his cwn weapon. He has brought
the Republican organization to a
high point Of efficiency and is past
master in the art of political work oil
that sort. John r. Nc. Lean is the
organizer of the Democratic party.
While Me Lean will not be in per-
sonal charge, he will keep his hand
upon the political pulse of the state
as closely as though he were here
Lewis G. Bernard, the Nc Lean
leader in Cincinnati, will take per-
sonal charge of the fight in Hamil-
ton county. This means the
dissipation of the former big majori-
ties of Cincinnati for the Republican
ticket. Bernard has not been in
charge for the past few years and
the Republicans haye not only
turned tie country. but have car
ried it by 30,OOOsince Lswie let go
the reins.

THE Village Council is wrestling
with the gas question, whether or
not to regrant the privileges of
Logan to the gas companies at the
same old rate or force reduction.
The old franchise reads "not to
exceed 25cts." The new grant
could read, "not to exceed 2Octs." I"
which would be lowering the price
stipulated in the franchise, but
not the rate paid. All have con-
fidence in the intelligence of the
council that they will do right by
the companies aud by the people.

There was an effort made to pit
the railroad boys against Ryan,
but they came to the front and
voted for him, knowing of his
kindly and fair treatment during
labor troubles, when Ryan was
sheriff. From 13 to 13 vote in
the committee last year, to 81 to
5 vote this year in favor of the
White faction, is the fruit of the
political pull of Cap. Ryan among
labor. Cap. is very modest and
just smiles at the result, but there
are those in his party that assert,
that Ryan can take factional
stand against the combined fac
tions, and win majority of the
Central Committee, and largely
the power of the Republican party
in Hooking County is due to his
political trlckery. He is call
ed the hero of two wars, but in
political wars he is aces. There
is not Hungarian, African, Ital-
ian or Pollock organization in the
valley, but that he knows its
leadership personally and can
"rap-rap" at the outer door and
be admitted. He is the man we
have feared and are watching and
fighting. During his regime in
Hooking politics he has naturalized
$50 foreigners, and with their
votes made Hooking County Re-
publican instead of Democratic.
The smoke of the battle of Sat-
urday in the Republican party of
Hooking County, seems to smell
like White brose-Ryan.
In Falls township Pearl Rhoades
was elected without opposition,
and is a member of the White fac
tion. In Gore Kennedy and
Richie are tie vote, and Kennedy
wins by lot, and is of the Sands
faction. In Logan Fred Morehead,
had Ambrose scared in the First
Ward for awhile, but Ambrose
won out, and is said to be looking
Il little like postmaster over the
result. He is at least swelled all
up over something. In Second
Ward, Larimer won against Mont
the latter making no con-
test. Larimer is deputy post
master in Logan under Mckay,
but was the White-Ambrose- Ryan
candidate for Committeeman.
There may be some flip-fopping
around as to postmaster, and
Larimer is said to belong to the
'Larimer" faction to see to it that
he holds his job, which ever way it
iips. Can not blame him much.
In the Third Ward Logan, Will
White the cigar man, ran against
Will (Sen.) White. The tickets
both read "Will or w. H. White"
10 Sen" had them all counted
'or himself, as Will White, the
,igar man, happily consented.
n the Fourth Ward the Sands |
:rowd tried to get Dave Williams
o run against the war-horse, Cap. |
Ryan, but Dave came up and voted
or Ryan and coached all others to
10 so. In Green First, Yves Hutch
ms defeated Chas. Angle by Is to
4. Wes is lined up with the
lands crowd. In Green Second,

THE Republicans of Ward

convention some weeks ago and

The Democratic Central Com
mlttee assembled at the Court
House Monday and canvased the
vote of the primary. There was a
goodly number present and a very
enthusiastic feeling for success
this fall. Every Committeeman
gave it as his belief that we will
win the County ticket this fall.
Each gave his testamony that
the Republicans in their individual
precincts are tired and sore of the
barter and sale of their votes by
the bosses in Logan, and will give
their party good clicking" this
fall for the error of it's ways.

He will be Topped of now, and
DR.. Beery re-instated. In Green
Third Precinct, Cbas. Sweezy was
elected against Clements. The
White faction claim Sweezy.
However, Clements was Ants-Sands
also. In Laurel, Billy Moore beat
Tom Woods. Billy would see
Sands in "Hamden" before he
would vote his way. Benton re-
elected Clarence Stone the present
Chairman. Stone was with Sands
last year, and made the comprom-
ise Chairman, but he is claimed
by tn, Whites this year. Well, he
is anyway that brother Billy says,
and brother Billy is said to be
looking for Larimer's place in the
Logan post-office. Salt Creek
elected Swackhamer and he is
"White." Perry First Precinct
elected Carr, as against strong
fight of the White faction. Carr
is one of the Sands five. In Perry
Second, Marion Alstaldt is elected
and his is with the Whites, but
probably is close to Ed. Ricketts,.
In Marion, Jerry Polling, stall
wart of the White faction was
elected. In Goodhope, j. T.. Huls
for the Whites. In Starr, ever
lasting and indomitable Ed. Kelley
was reelected. Hi Brown sailed
in this time for the Whites, for
getting his defeat of last year, and
Patton is elected for the Whites
in Starr Third. In Washington
township, Billy Thrush went in
with whirl. Lastyear he alledg-
ed that Billy Sonders, of the Sands
faction. counted him out, but Son
ders is counted out this year as
Steward of the Athens Asylum.
How things do fip-fop. Ward
Township was a battle ground.
The Murray City News had pois-
oned the minds of labor against
White, and Cap, Ryan had done
his best to, heal the wounds, and
he did remarkably well. Orbiston
had tie vote, and will bold
another election. Murray City
elected Larimer, of the White fac
ton. Jobs had a tie between
McManaway and Donley. Not
decided yet. Coal Gate reelected
Lush Hull without opposition, and
Lush is the whole thing in those
parts for the White faction. Car
bonhill reelected Ed. Smith, the
"retired" mine inspector. He
still holds to ''retired' Col. Sands.
Sand Run had the sand to run
Kennedy, and he lines up with
Cap. Ryan for the White faction.
And thus it is. That "every
year" battle is again over, and the
victory falls in personal hands.
The personal" being the control
of patronage, of all the post offices
and carriers, if Roosevelt is elected.
The weak kneed are now falling
over each other to get on the band
wagon, or to get a piece of the
coin that is floating around. Gros-
venor must dance to the music.
He must know, "who are you,"
when he talks to "Sen." White
now, for "Sen." is one of the
"its."

Now is no time to skulk or twee-

will all be elected. The kicker
