to the Republican ticket in that county.
Little Cameron is at the front this year,
with president judge on the bench of
the Twenty fifth Judicial district and a
congressional nominee our neighbor-
ing county naturally feels little
proud. Judge Green and Congress-
man-to be Barclay are men of high
character and are an honor to any
county.-Lock Haven Republican.

Captain Barclay is perhaps freer of
personal animosities that any other
man in Cameron county that has had
anything to do with public affairs. He
went there directly after the war, in
triot;has lived there ever since, making
his home at Sinnamahoning He has
always been actively interested in local
affairs, but not an Office seeker. His
county never before had district
nomination and when the present con-
gressional appointment was made his
neighbors put him forward as a candi-
date. Four years ago his county con-
ceded, as did the others, the claim of
Mr.. Dresser to the second term. This
year the Republicans of his county
came forward and asked for the nomi.
nation on grounds that made their posi-
tion strong. They offered man of
splendid personal qualifications, one of
exceptionally clean and consistent
politics and enjoying the highest per-
sonal regard of all who knew anything
about him-DuBois Courier.

Captain Barclay, is a clean, intelli-
gent business man, Bucktail soldier

large following in the whole district
While we complain of the treatment
we received Capt. Barclay is in no wise
to blame and the Journal pledges its
best Offices to secure bis election to
congress. s.-Clearfeld Journal.

Capt. G. F. Barclay, of Cameron
county, who was nominated at Dubois
last Thursday by the Republican party
for member of Congress from this dis
driet, is man whom every republican
in this district can conscientously give
their most hearty support He is a
veteran of the Civil War and a man
who is popular with all who know him.
He has always been a staunch Repub-
lican and is an ardent admirer of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his noble policies.
He is a man of recognized ability and is
fully capable of representing this dis
trict in Congress. Capt. Barclay is one
of those men who makes friends where
ever he becomes acquainted and as he
will make canvass of the entire dis
trict it is safe to assume that he will be
elected by large majority. .--Smeth-
port Miner.

AS Capt. Barclay was reared in Cou-
dersport and enlisted in this county for
the war, in which he made an excellent
record and won rapid promotion, it is
gratifying to the Journal to note the
honor bestowed upon him by the Re.
publicans of his district.
Fully informed on all the important
issues of the times, an eminently sue
cesstul business man, and man in full
accord with the essential principles of
Republicanism, yet independent of boss
rule and intolerant of turpitude in pri-
vate or public life, Mr., Barclay should
make an ideal representative of the
people in the national legislature His
election is practically assured from the
tart.-Potter Journal.

pany- A lifelong republican in a
staunch republican district, he will go
in by one of the biggest majorities ever
accorded nominee in the district

They (Cameron) offered man of
splendid personal qualifications; one
of exceptionally clean and consistent
politics and enjoying the highest per-
scnal regard of all who knew anything
about him; and they could further
show that being without district can
didate heretofore, they would also be
without hereafter, if it was not secured
this year, owing to the change in the
