Fifty.one democrats and forty-two
republicans voted in the circle last
Tuesday week. Out OF IA votes cast
only one was lost on the national and
state ticket. In the township about 25
or 80 ballots were thrown out, but then
it had to be just that way in order that
the candidate for clerk on the republi
can ticket could get the certificate of
election. If all the votes had been
counted, as was intended, he would
have been badly left.
On account of the chairman of the
republican committee in Hazelton fail.
ing to give the trustee the proper notice
or no notice at all, j. b. Simpson was
appointed on the board as the republi-
can judge. When the republican boss.
es found it out they raised a great howl
and had him to resign-ln other words
bounced. By this we are able to guess
| pretty close as to the real love they
| have for the old soldier. Mr.. Simpson
served through the war, was honorably
discharged, has been voting the repub-
lican ticket all his life, is now an old
man not able to do much work, also is
| q poor man, perfectly honorable, and as
deserving as any citizen or any old
soldier living, He has been serving on
election boards for several years as the
republican judge. but this time the re-
| publicans said get off for we want to
put man on who never had to face
shot and she'll during the dark days of
the nation; we want a man who never
did any soldering and one who already
has plenty of this worlds goods-four
good farms, money to loan, and has not
yet arrived at the age where he can't
work; let the old soldier get out of his
way so that we can have man on the
board who will do our bidding. Be-
sides we want man who has an inter-
est in the election, man who can sit
as judge OF his own election, no old
back number soldier need apply. But
to be perfectly fair we will say that the
present bosses are not the ones who
have been in the lead for good many
years; they are a few new ones who do
not know what is right or wrong. Time,
however. will teach them a whole lot
| they don't know now.
