Open Letter to the ''Indepedent. .

, cause he had no right to issue orders
to Senator Knox and second, because
| thought he knew ten times as much
| about it as l did, and third, because
President Roosevelt said he did not
care whose rate bill was passed as long
as it was one that would hold water.
Now, gentlemen of ''The Indepen.
dent" | do not wish to say that any of
you tell stories, because that implies
hate and loss of temper, but do want
to say that some one in your office
makes inexcusable errors. For ex-
ample you say that when Mr. Greasy
first offered his motion on this rate bill
| voted 'yea," of course, you did not
give the page showing the vote, be-
cause it was only motion and there
was no roll call for it recorded on any
page, but why did you say so if you
did not know and which of your edi-
tors was responsible for the mistake.
In this weeks paper you say that
on page No. 1414 am recorded as alb
sent and not voting on one of the
Ehrhardt police bills, but there is no
vote on the Ehrhardt Bills at all on that
page. Who is the irresponsible man
in your Office that made this mistake?
Last week 1 gave you the number,
the date and the page showing my
vote on all three of the Ehrhardt
Bills and the record shows that
was not absent and did not dodge the
vote on any of them as you say, and
you certainly owe me an apology for
insinuating that / did not tell the
truth about these records.
If you have different copy of the
Legislative Record than mine and will
show it to me, l will call it square, but
if your copy is like mine, I must ask
you to take back water and correct
your statements, if you want to save

A Working Mans Chance.

People frequently make the remark
that a poor man who is obliged to get
out and hustle for living doesn't
stand any chance of being elected to
Office. This statement seems to be
wrong this year, in the case of at least
one poor man, who has worked in the
coal mines, hustled in the woods and
waded in the icy water driving logs, in
order to secure good education and
ultimately rise to position command
ing respect and admiration of people.
everywhere. The man who has had
the backbone to make this uphill fight
is none other than our popular candi.
date for Prothonotary, William James
Leavitt.
People the entire length of the
county speak in the highest terms of
him, and every man regardless of party,
who believes in ''the square deal' and
respects self-made man will vote for
him. His election by sweeping ma
iority seems to be certainty.
The story of Mr. Leavitt's life reads
like fiction and it is one that will inter
est any person who is ambitious to
make success out Of life. The follow
ing is a brief outline of some of his ex-
periences:
Born in a log camp in Cameron
county 81 years ago.
Attended the county schools most of
the time until fourteen years of age.
Went to work in a sawmill at the
age of fourteen. earning one dollar a
day
At sixteen years of age commenced
working in the woods.
At eighteen entered Emporium high
school, attending school winters and
working in the woods and coal mines
summers.
After five years at high school, COM
menced teaching country school.
His success as teacher soon placed
him with the leading teachers of his
profession.
Later became a candidate for county
, superintendent and was defeated by a
small majority.
Next entered Howard & Co.'s store at
Emporium as clerk, remaining there
over year. He resigned his position
with Howard & Co., to enter the servi-
ces of the Pittsburg Life and Trust Co.,
at an increased salary, and has devot-
ed most of his time since to general in
surance business.
Mr.. Leavitt is a hard worker, close
student and keen business man and
coming from the ranks of the working
people stands as the ideal working
MANS candidate.
If you think such man is deserving
and that his election would be to the
interest of the county, your earnest
support is respectfully requested.

Emporium, Pa.

| GENTLEMEN:-
OF course this is the ''Hallow Eve"
season, when children go around with
Jack Lanterns and false faces to scare
each other, but we are not children
nor are we playing asilly game. Your
anxiety to call me a liar is entirely un-
called for and l don't like it. You go
warbling along about the Ripper Bills
and the Ehrhardt Bills, without giving
the number of the particular bill you
are talking about. Last week I gave
you the numbers of the three Ripper
Bills and the three Ehrhardt Bills, and
the page on which the vote was record
ed on each bill. l did not deny voting
for some of the bills, but said / did not
vote for the three police bills and gave
as proof of my sincerity the vote on
police bill No. 1856, which was voted on
| three times, and showed you that
voted against it the first time when
| the bill was lost and on the third and
last time when the tally of the votes
| was disputed and the roll was called
over again, that vote as recorded on
page 2048 shows that was one of the
55 who voted Nay, and l now say most
emphatically that I did not vote for
nor did l tell your editor, your pro-
prietor, nor any one else, that / voted
for the police bills known as Nos. 1856,
1SS and Senate Bill 541 I'll ever talk
ed with you about any of the Ripper
Bills you must have misunderstood the
number of the hill about which we
were talking.
President Roosevelt seemed pleased
that Senator Knox had the ability to
show the necessity of the Court Review
amendment to the Railroad Rate bill to
make it constitutional. Senator Knox
not only knew more law than did but
he had the backbone to stand up for
his idea of proper rate bill until he
got it and when your Democratic lead
er in the Legislature, Mr.. Greasy, made
his motion for us to order Senator Knox
to give in voted "Nay." First, be-

Little Better Than a Sandbagger.
There are some things that should
be held sacred even in politics. When
young man enters manhood and be-
gins business in community, well
known to all business men as a young
man of good habits and good morals,
of unimpeachable integrity, and flaw
less purity of conduct, that young man
in time establishes for himself reputa-
tion which is his very own, and which
no man, little better than a sand
bagger, will attempt to take from him.
Parties may come and parties may go,
but mans good name lives till long
after his earthly life has ceased and
should never be lightly assailed even
in the heat and stress of a political
campaign.
1t has been attempted in this fight
for representative, to convey the idea
that Josiah Howard would under some
circumstances become the apologist of
vice and the defender of tho immoral.
To all who know Mr.. Howard any
such idea is perfectly preposterous,
but it is we'll for Mr.. Howard's friends
to understand that the enemy is des-
perate and in a mood to stop at moth
ing to accomplish their purpose.
1t seems to us that all voters, of
whatever party, should set the seal of
their disapproval on this method of
campaigning by voting en- mdsse for
the Hon. Josiah Howard.
