LEWIS EMERY. JR.

against graft and corporation DONNA
ton in politics. He opposed the
Pennsylvania railroad when it meant
political death to do So He opposed
John ID. Rockefeller when it practi-
cally meant financial death to do so.
He fought the Cameron machine, the
Quay machine and now is fighting the
Penrose machine. Though Il lifelong
Republican, he has never hesitatel to
support boiling movement if he be
lieved it right. He helped to defeat j.
Donald Cameron for senator and Beav-
ers and DelaMater for governor, and
he stumpcd the state for Berry. who
was elected state treasurer by the re-
form movement last fall. He has been
an independent, not only in business,
but in politics, and now that the indie
pendent uprising is coming throughout
the nation, perhaps his day of cons
plete triumph is at hand.
Lewis Emery, Jr., was born in the
state of New York and reared in tie
state of Michigan. For time he was
apprenticed in Il wooden mill and at
nineteen became country school
teacher. When of age he joined his
father in the manufacture of flour, but
four years later struck out for himself
and established a sawmill and general
merchandise store in Illinois. Because
of conditions at the close of the war
this venture turned out badly. Emery
then went to Pennsylvania at the be-
ginning of the OIL excitement. Several
more years of hardship and i'll luck
followed, but afterward the young
man struck it rich in the famous Brad
ford field and was soon not only
wealthy but one of the foremost opera
tors in the state.
1t was at this time that the real fight
of his life began. The Standard Oil
company was beginning it's encroach-
ments, and Emery became member
of the Oil Producers association, which
waged war on the Rockefeller inter-
csts. Had he chosen to ally himself
with the Standard people he might
have become one of the great Oil kings,
have amasscd millions and have lived

"OR more than thirty-five years
Lewis Emery has fought the
Standard Oil company. He is
practically the only conspicu-
GUS independent" who has Won out in
that sort of battle. Many times dur
ing the long struggle he has been de-
feated and forced to the wall, but
there are some men who are stimu-
lated more by the bitter cup of defeat
than others are by wine, and Emery
belongs to this class. He is natural
fighter and is never more pugnacious
than after receiving crushing blow.
In the panic Of 1873 he failed and went
100000 to the bad, but paid it all
back, regained his footing and Won his
way again to fortune.
Now, at the age of siXty-seven, this
veteran in tie antitrust war is the re-
form candidate for governor of
Pennsylvania. If he should win, as
his followers enthusiastically assert
that he will, the honor, they say, would
be fitting reward for long service

antidiscrimination bill and had it in

but was reintroduced at successive
sessions until finally enacted into law.
Thus thirty-four years ago Lew EN-
cry began the struggle against railroad
rebates, which has now become the
foremost issue before the American
people.
Another fight made by Emery was
for an independent pipe line to the

line. but had to carry it under bridge

TEXAS cATTLEMAN RELEASED
BY BANDIT CAPTORS.
A6ail lis Consequence of Trouble
Between Colonel Hannisan and
Foreman Whom He Thought Had
Cheated Him.

The payment Of a ransom of $1,000 Sc
cured freedom for Col. Robert Hannigan,
the cattleman of Deming, y. NJ, who has
been held captive in the Mogollon noun
tains by five bandits. Early in the day
a messenger from the bandits arrived in
Silver City and demanded 81 900 as the
price for the cattleman's liberty. The
money was paid over and the messenger
departed, only to be followed by a second,
who demanded another $1,000. This also
was forthcoming, and the outlaw left
with warning that any attempt at res
cue would mean the death of the captive.
The announcement of the release came a
few hours later. The kidnapping Of Han
nigan is believed to be the result of bad
blood between the colonel and Bob Hoili-
man. Three years ago Hannigan bought
Holliman's ranches and cattle. hoffman
was made manager of the outfit, and later
a lawsuit resulted from a cowboy inform
ing Hannigan that his manager was dis
honest in the management of the ranch.
In the legal action Hannigan was award
ed a large amount of money from Holli-
man. Ever since this litigation hoffman
has sworn vengeance.
