As an Indiana County Editor Sees Him.
We clip the following from the issue
of March 20, 1908, Of the Blairsville
Courier, under the heading: "a Pleas
ing Personality; A Candidate Who
Makes Hosts OF Friends Wherever he
Goes
Among the many candidates who have
visited Blairsville during The present
campaign none has made more pleas
ing impression than Hon. Henry |. Will
son, OF Big Run, candidate for state
senator. 10 spite OF his extensive and
varied experience in public life. Mr..
Wilson is still young man, the kind Of
man who will always be young. He is
OF genial and kindly disposition, a
first class raconteur, polite and defer
entail in his manner, with no trucking,
however, and every inch a gentleman.
He seems to be as sharp as the proverb-
ial steel tack, and lie possessed, appar-
emily, of broad and liberal education.
He pleases at first sight and grows upon
acquaintance and it would be safe bet
to wager that II Mr.. Wilson could per.
sonally see every voter in the district
he would be nominated by large ma
jority. Mr.. Wilson strikes the observer
as man very much in earnest and thab
his principles are such as all good men
can subscribe to. He claims that he is
not tied to clique or faction, is making
no promiscuous pledges or promises is
ready to deal fairly and squarely with
all questions as they from time to time
arise. His real platform seems to be
willingness to carry out the wishes OF
his constituents and to have his ear to
the ground, as it were, listening to
their demands. He seems to believe
that law makers should be Exceedingly
careful TO see to it that the making OF
laws is not overdone and that special
rights and privileges should be abolish
ed. Should Mr. Wilson be made sena-
tor there is no doubt but that he will be
heard from and that, too, in the right
way. Take him all in all he seems four
square and honest and as far removed
from the time-serving and grating
| politicians as the heavens are from the
earth,

Grant Scheafnocker, candidate for
the Republican nomination for county

county treasurer, and is recognized
as one of the strongest candidates in
the field.

THE SENATORIAL FIGHT,
T. M. Kur,z, of Punxsutrwney, Seeking
the Support of All Good Republicans.

| the Support OF All GOOD Kepuphcans.
As the time draws near for holding
primary elections throughout the state.
the fight for the nomination of Re-
publican candidate for the office o scna-
tor in the Thirty seventh district, con-
prising Jefferson and Indiana counties,
becomes more and more interesting,
and the friends OF 7. M, Kur,z OF Puux-
sutawney and in fact ali Republicans
who are believers In fair play, are work
ing hard for his interests.
AS all good Republicans in the dis
trict know MI. Kurlz has been one uf
the most influential workers and most
promising candidates for this office fIr
the past four years, and it has long been
understood that at the expiration "f
Senator Fishers second term he would
be Jefferson countys choice.
When the present campaign open' d
| 1t looked for time as though Mr..
Kurtz would be given tho nomination
without opposition, since the word came
| from Indiana that that county would
not place candidate in the field But
to complicate the situation, two other
announcements have appeared in Jt fl ,r-
son county for the office, nam ely Hon.
S. T. North and Hon. Henry [. Wilson,
both of whom have been before the
people several times for public office aud
have been pretty thoroughly taken care
of. Mr.. North is one of the present
representatives in the General Assem-
bly, at Harrisburg, having served two
regular and one special term, three
terms in all, and Mr.. Wilson has also
served term in the Legislature, be-
sides filling numerous offices to which
he has been appointed
Although Kurtz has been in politics
all his life and has established consider
able OF a reputation as leader, this is
| his finst request for Office, and this re-
quest was made long enough ago that
both his opponents, for the sake of
party harmony at least, should have
arranged their political plans different
| ly Kuriz was one OF North's most en-.
thusiastic supporters when he NORTH
made his campaigns for Assemb bly,, and
used his best efforts to win for him both
| the nomination and election. Mr..
North knew at that time that Mr..
Kurtz was to be candidate for the Re.
publican nomination for senator in 1908,
and now repays that service, which vas
rendered at time when 1t was thor
oughly needed, by coming out against
him. 1t has been said that there is no
such thing as fairness aud gratitude in
politics and it looks very much rs
though that is Mr.. North's conception
of the game
Indiana county has conceded Jeffer-
son countys right to name the next
senator and has agreed to stand by Mr..
Kurtz, as matter of principle and fair
play
The Republican voters of this county
will, we hope, do the same. Mr.. Kurlz
has merited the honor he seeks and is
In every way qualified to repreoent his
constituents in a competent and intel
ligent manner. All Republicans who
believe in fair play AMI square deal"
should support him. m.-Punxsutawney

OPTION
LEAGUE NAMES
ITS CANDIDATES

Monday afternoon the executive com
mittee of the jefferson County Local
Option League met in Reynoldsvile
and passed the following resolutions:
WHEREAS, There are now before the
voters Of our county and senatorial
district number of candidates for the
nominations for senator and represent
ative In our state legislature who have
declined to pledge themselves to sun
port the Anti-Saloon League of Penn
sylvania in its effort to secure the
enactment Of an effective local option
law, and
WHEREAS, 1t is apparent that the
liquor dealers organization have agreed
upon the candidates they will support
for these nominations, making it ap-
parent that the advocates of local
option shall likewise centre their
strength or invite certain defeat; there
fore be 1t
Resolved, That the Jefferson county
Local Option League endorse the candi-
dacy OF Hon. S. Taylor North for the
suomination for senator on the Repub-
ticket, he having proven in the
last session OF the legislature not only
! his devotion to the cause we represent
but also his ability as a legislator and
his unassailable integrity as man.
Resolved, That we also endorse the
candidacy OF Hon. Robt. Fl. Longwell
for the nomination on the Republican
ticket for Assembly, he having also
by his fidelity to the cause of local
option In the last Legislature earned
the support of every believer of local
option in his party.
RESOLVED, That we also endorse the
candidacy of Mr.. Horace G. Miller for
nomination on the Republican ticket
for Assembly, he having been the first
OF the candidates to declare himself for
local option Ills declaration having
been published before any local option
organization had been effected in the
county, and his ability and integrity
being unquestioned.
: Resolued, That we also endorse the
candidacy OF Mr.. Irwin Simpson and
Mr.. A. d. peemer for nomination on
the Democratic ticket for Assembly,
and OF Mr.. B. B. Brumbaugh for the
nomination on the same ticket for
Senator, they all having given their
pledge to support the Anti-Saloon
3 League, and being men of unquestioned
liability and integrity, well fitted to
represent our county and district in
the offices to which they aspire
Resolred, That while we recognize the
ability and integrity of the other
candidates who have pledged them
selves to support the Anti-Saloon
league, we also recognize that the
scattering of the votes of those who
favor local option among five or six
candidates while the strength of the
opposition is being conferred upon two
candidates would mean certain defeat
III oil uho toO"i oPo'on oouuluaooo ouu
the nomiudtiou OF candidates favorable
Ht0 the liquor interests. We therefore
)call upon all voters who desire the
Enactment of local option law by the
next legislature to lay aside feelings
OF personal friendship and other con.
siderations that may conflict, and
centre our strength upon the other
candidates narled We believe that
this Is all that is needed to insure
complete victory for local option

Lockard for Treasurer.

Probably the most popular candidate
In the field for the treasuryship among
the Republicans this spring is James S.
Lockard, OF Lindsey. He has always
been Republican and worker for his
party. He is steady, reliable, right
kind Of man himself and besides has
eminent qualifications for this office.
There is something In experience in
this line and while Mr.. Lockard has not
been In this office, he has had training
that goes far to make him ready to take
up this new work at once and carry it
to success. He was burgess of Clayville
two terms and made good record in
this position. This is not an easy po-
sition to many, but that he was fearless,
impartial and successful is greatly to
his credit as a successful executive. He
has been tax collector now for two
terms, is rounding out his fifth year in
this position and is reputed, even by
his political opponents, to be one of the
best In the county. He is particularly
strong in his office work, having sys-
tematized and simplified it until 1t is a
model Of ncatness, dispatch, as to bus
mess use, excellent, superior for such
work. These years Of experience show
II illness that would gu far to make him
one nf the best treasurers the county
ever Possessed. These. with other ad-
mirable qualities render him very for
midable candidate and one we'll worthy,
as it would seem Of the support of the
party April llth He has already re-
ceived great encouragement and, al
though he has a lot of other good men
after him in this racs. he expects to
show them pair of clean heels in a
fairly won race for this POSITION Big

- Ravages Of the bubonic plague I'm
the last few years have exceeded any
similar epidemic of modern times
not, perhaps. in the aggregate number
Of deaths. but certainly in the number
of countries affected. Appearing in
China in 1894, the disease spread to
India, Japan. Asiatic Turkey and Rus
sia two years later, passing into Afri-
ca in 1898 and into Austria and Portu-
gal in 1899. In 1907 it had reached
South America and even the United
States. the outbreak or the Pacific
coast being still fresh in the minds Of
the American public. Lately the chief
news references to the epidemic have
come from Venezuela, where LaGuaY-
ra, the principal port, was for n num-
ber Of weeks isolated from the world
Deaths were many; Stagnation OF bus
mess deprived thousands of employ
ment; the closing Of the port shut out
food supplies, and great suffering en-
sued. At the end of May, President
Castro issued a proclamation an
nouncing that the plague had ceased
to affect the city and opening 1T to
traffic. But the American consul
seems to have been well-informed
when he alone among the foreign rep
resentatives declined to sign the pa
per giving the port a clean bill OF
health. for it appears that the pest
still exists there in dangerous form
and has also made its way inland to
Caracas, the capital. The presence of
an epidemic is, of course, the last
thing which an enterprising city is
disposed to advertise to the world, and
II is probable that half the ravages
of the present epidemic have not been
made known. 1t is estimated. how
ever that in India last year over
million persons perished from this
cause. Such an appalling record, with
the fact that the pest has persisted
for fourteen years and spread during
that time into fifty-One countries, af-
fords a good argument for the world
wide crusade against it that is being
advocated.
