Judge Green Backed to Succeed
Himself.
Special to the Philadelphia Enquirer.
LOCK HAVEN, PA, Oct. 13.-The most
important factor in the present politi-
cal campaign in this comfy centers in
the question, "Who is to be the presi.
dent judge in this district for the next
ten years?" This question is the para
mount issue.
This county is to be the battle-ground
of the contest between Judge B. W.
Green, of Emporium, and Harry Avian
Hall, of Ridgway, the former the nom
inee of the Republicans and the latter
the Democratic. Lincolnite candidate
1t is conceded that Green will carry his
home county of Cameron by large
vote and that Hall will receive major
ity in Elk county. This leaves Clinton
the bone of contention, with the out
look highly favorable to Green.
1t is not question to be decided by
parU.san politics. In the last two de.
cades the voters of this district have
risen above partisanship in the selec-
ton of their president judge, and they
should certainly be prepared to partici-
pate in the present campaign by the
exercise of calm judgment.
Judge Green was appointed to the
vacancy in thisI district by Governor
Pennypacker,.. ..and the facts that sur
round this appointment show that,
while Judge Green is Republican, his
politics was in no sense factor in the
appointment.
The appointment was made on the
sole ground of his fitness for the place
his legal fitness, his moral fitness and
that mental cleanness that keeps a
judge from welding his powers in the
promotion of political machine and
lack of which frequently debauches
courts and becomes a travesty on
justice.
Since these were the qualifications
that led to the selection ofJudge Green
as the presiding Judge of this district,
they should lift his candidacy to a
higher plane than that of mere par
tisanship.
Judge Green is clean, true man
He makes no public claims to a family
tree that traces his genealogy back to a
remote ancestry either on the male or
female side. He claims to be All honest
man, and than that no tree ever pro-
duced better or fairer fruit. Genealogies
may be pleasant and interesting things
to trace, but they may also begin in
obloquy and end in shame.
Judge Green is temperate, both in
habit of life and thought. This quality,
always great and valuable one in any
man, is of utmost value in an official
who should always be available to his
constituents and whose acts affect the
life, liberty or prosperity of the people.
If the people of this district want a
clean, honest and capable administra-
tration of their courts they will elect
Judge Green for the full term.
If they want to keep the courts out
of the mire of politics they will vote
for Judge Green.
If they want to keep the administra-
ton ofjustice out of things more mirey
than politics they will vote for Judge
Green.
If you want to meet man who really
says what he means and means Just
what he says, the chance will be yours
on November LIST, 2nd and 3rd when
Wilbur Symons, as leading man OF
Nick Russelps Big Comedy Company

vaudeville acts besides the play proper

extraordinary piano playing act which
has won for him the title of "the human
pianola.'
