REPUBLICAN TICKET.
POLITICAL.

The names OF Ira McJ uuhlu anu
M. Digit will appear ON the ballot, this
year, preceded or followed by the name
Roosevelt" the Court having decided
against the use of the name" Republican
for nomination papers. To vote a
straight Republican ticket, November
9th next, the voter must make two
marks in the party column, one after
the name Republican, and one after the
name Roosevelt; or you can make a
mark after each name on the two
tickets. and as the ballot will not be
large one this year, that will take but
little time.
In the judicial district composed OF
the counties of Cameron, Elk and Clin-
ton, the contest for governor Is over
shadowed by the election of president
Judge. For years this judicial district
has been in the hands of the Democrats
and now the Republicans are making a
determined effort to reclaim it. Harry
Alvan Hall of Ridgway, former assist
ant United States district attorney ana
brother of State Senator James K. t.
Hall is the Democratic candidate and
he is opposed by Judge B. W. Green OF
Emporium.
Some New York Republicans, know
ing of the deep interest President
Roosevelt is taking in the campaign OF
Charles E. Hughes, actually thought
that lie might stump the state, and ap-
pear disappointed when told that ne
has no such intention. If time was
hanging idly on the Presidents hands
and If he saw defeat confronting the
Hughes ticket, he might throw dignity
and precedent to the winds and endeav-
or TO stem the tide. Nor would he lose
caste with any right-thinking man in SO
doing, for it would be understood that
the President had acted only on the
promptings of conscience and because
he desired to save the greatest state in
the union from the evils of a Hearst
Murphy dynasty. "-Ex
At Johnstown,l last Saturday night, can
didate Stuart made his remarks regard
ing the State Capitol matter as positive
as possible, viz:
There is one thing wish to refer to
here tonight, and I wish to refer to 1t
as positively as have the power to do
SO. Since we have left home on a tour
L = kc4o 4t<< in r-Qlo q n
the State Capitol has come before us |
believe the people of Pennsylvania are
psrfsstAy Wiling that we should have a
CHpitUf commensurate with the dignity
of this Commonwealth, and if the
money expended has been honestly ex
pended / do not think there is any OBJ
lection on the part of the people.
On the other hand, il there has been
dAe cent wrongfully used in the build
ing, or particularly in the furnishing of
that building, whoever is guilty of that
crime should be punished. / do not
care who he is to what party he be-
longs or anything else.
If anybody has had any graft or has
had any dishonest interest in anything
connected with that matter, he should
be punished And want to say here
that if elected Governor I will make an
investigation and the people of this
great State will know all about it. and
if any man has been guilty of wroDgdo-
ing 1 will see that he is punished.
My distinguished opponent for Cover
nor, Mr.. Lewis Emery, Jr., has stated
that cannot do it, that will not do it,
that 1 will not punish them. Gentle
men, recognize no friends where
wrong has been committed. No man
who is crooked or dishonest can claim
me as friend. / won't stand for it,
believe Mr.. Emery Is an honest man,
and 1 want him to accord me the same
recognition. / have had experience of
that kind. l had a very unpleasant
duty to perform as executive Of my ma
tive city. I made an investigation. l
had not promised that / would, but
when went into Office l found it neces-
sary. and the man who was guilty of
wrongdoing was discovered and punish
ed. And desire to say to you that if l
am elected Governor and anything of
that kind comes before me will do the
same thing.
am little bit positive about this
matter, and / am somew hat excited
Mr. Emery has no right to say that 1
won't do it, nor that / cannot do it, be-
cause will Therc is no obligation up
on me as a Republican nor as can
didate of the Republican party to stand
for anything but decency and honesty
in public affairs, and no man is fit to be
called Republican who stands for any
thing else."
