Republican news item. [volume] (Laport, Pa.) 1896-19??, 1905-10-19

cess of Mr.. Kshinka for Associate
Judge means an honorable man to
fill that very important office. He
was elected to contest for this office
on merit and qualification. Show
your good patriotism by electing
such men to office.
Frank Farrell, the Republican
Candil ate foa County Treasurer is "A
clean, honest, straight forward man.
To know him is to like him. He has
many friends in both parties, who
will testify to his good, sound quail
ties when election day arrives. For
the office of County Treasurer, he is
eminently qualified and if elected
will do credit to the office. Sullivan
County voters here have an oppur-
tunity to make an exceptional choice
in casting their ballot for County
Treasurer. Mr.. Farrell is not only
trustworthy and honest, but he Is Il
man as well.
The Republican ticket is well bal
anced. The three we'll marked sec
tions Of the county are properly
represented. For many reasons 1t IS
best that one commissioner should be
in each section. The east has had
two commissioners for the past three
years, and the democrats have nom
mated two in Cherry again. One OF
these MUST BE elected and the other
will be unless the people in the other
sections of the county bestir them
selves on the day of election. One
candidate in Elkland will represent
the west. All the people in Fox,
HillsgrOve, Forks and Elkland well
know that Frank McCarty will make
a capital commissioner; and the
people of Davidson, Laporte, Shrews-
bury and Eaglesmere well know that
Bovd p. Bennett is one of those
sound minded, clear headed, mag
netic business men who always do
what they have to do, well wherever
you put them
Both of these men are men OF in
tegrity. Passes on the railroad and
Establishments of corporation law
vers will not make them swerve
from the duties they owe to the peo-
pie. We hope the voters of this
county will arouse to the fact that
the election of both McCarty and
Bennett is of the utmost importance
to the farm owners and tax payers
during the next three years.
Whether the gross errors of the
past, so apparent in the Commissions
ers office, have proceeded from cor
ruption or ignorance the fact is the
same. The corporation lands have
escaped full valuation and farmers
valuations have been raised ten per
cent. The little that has been paid
upon the county debt has come from
the raised valuation on farms and
village property.
At every election the Democrats
give us good promises but fail to
perform. Year after year the bung-
ling with the assessments and the
management of the public
debt goes on. There is chance
now to do better. Elect McCarty
and Bennett and new era will
come in the management of our
county finances.
Hughesville and Muncy are in line
to become metropolitan and shortly
enjoy the benefits of trolley COM
municatiOn, a company having been
formed to build an electric road be-
tween the two towns. John G.. Har-
man, of Bloomsbury is president.
On November s, at Harrisburg,
application will be made for state
charter, the company to be known
as the Muncy and Hughesville Elect
ric Railway company.
The plan is to run the line from
near the Philadelphia and Reading
station, in Muucy, traverse the main
streets of the borough and follow the
public road to Hughesville, running
the track the length of Main street
in Hughesville.
