Nominee for district attorney, D. Clar-

renominated by the Republicans"
throughout the state to serve in the
coming session Of the state legislature.
All this renominating of those sub

and other stump speakers to strive to
divert the peoples attention away from
the plot to have the coming legislature
controlled by the same old gang against
which the commonwealth has been In
revolution for more than a year.
Among the shields behind which the
vice-den protectors, ripper voters and
opponents of honest elections are striv-
Ing to hide In the hope Of thwarting
the whole people Of the state in the
coming legislature, is the special cam
paign committee" which is acting as an
auxiliary to Penrose's state commit

stumping efforts to keep the popular
mind off of the evils which can be cor

cry, Jr., and of an honest legislature,
is Robert X. Young, Republican nomi-
nee against Representative William T.
Greasy for auditor general. Candidate
Young proclaims that there is no long
er any ground for Independent fighting.
He has special reason to dread that
fighting. for, with Greasy as auditor
general, Bob" Young would not have
a chance to audit his own capitol COM
mission and public grounds and build
ings accounts. He would have no Of

900 furnishing" graft over and above
the 100000 cost of the new capitol's
walls and roof.
Shielded BY creasy's Opponent.
The Republican nominee for auditor
general, Young. was solicitor for the
capitol commission throughout all that
grating" When the commission
boasted that it had completed the capi-
tol without expending quite all Of the
81, 100000, Young acquiesced. He was
silent. Until after State Treasurer Berry
started the exposure Young had never
said word to the public upon the SUBJ
ject. No man was in a more advan-
tageous official position than Young to
know how the people were being de-
ceived to the extent of an extra SO, ,000,-
900. Yet he remained silent while the
grafters schemed to keep the whole
ugly business quiet until after the
election. Now this man as a
stump speaker joins in the attempt to
enable half hundred of the worst
members of the house of representa-
tives, not to speak Of the equally venal
senatorial nominees, to sneak back,
to Harrisburg.
