Mr.. Geist is the Republican nominee
for Prothonotary of Forest county. a posi-
ton which be has most ably and efficient
~ filled for nearly two terms. Our can
didate is so well and so favorably known
to the people of the county that it seems
scarcely necessary to say anything in his
behalf at this time. But to some who
might argue that "John has had enough"
we desire to say a word: Do you like to
have man attend to your business in
whom you have every confidence that 1t
will be attended to in the very best man
ner possible, and who understands every
detail thoroughly? You are aware that
Forest county never had more capable
man in that Office than is Mr.. Geist. You
know that when you take an instrument
to his office to have it recorded you can go
home resting easy that it will be attended
to promptly, carefully and in accordance
with the law. Would you care to dis
charge a faithful, competent employe for
no other reason than that "he has had
enough" We think not, and this princi-
pie applies right here in this case. Mr..
Geist did not urge his candidacy, but
host of people urged him to again submit
his name, and after much hesitancy he
consented, and the Republicans fairly re-
nominated him. Mr.. Geist is a man of
absolute, unflinching rectitude, in whose
honesty the people have implicite conf
dence, and whose courtesy aud kindness
to all is known and spoken of from one
end of the county to the other. No man
has ever found John Geist in sullen or
petty mood in his official dealings at the
Prothonotsry's Office, but on the contrary
those who have had occasion to transact
business at his office have found him al
ways the same pleasant, affable gentle
man, ever ready to attend their every
want in a cheerful good-natured way.
Every man gets "square deal' from
Mr.. Geist, regardless of politics. The
Democrat, the Prohibilionist, or what
ever his political faith is shown the same
kind, courteous treatment that one of his
own political faith receives. When you
90 to the Prothonotary's Office to transact
business you don't have to take lawyer
with you to "hunt it up" Mr.. Geists
large experience enables him to give you
any information desired without costing
you a cent, and it is always cheerfully
given. The Republican party presents
for your consideration an honest, capable
man for the office of Prothonotary, and it
has every confidence that you will re-
elect him to an office the conduct OF
which means so much to the people OF
Forest county.

TAFT can also swing some vigorous
language when necessary. For instance,
he smsshes an old, shelf-worn stock tie
that has been in use in every campaign
for the past 20 years in this way: "Some
ordinary, cheap, common liar has devoted
himself to the business drumming around
the country and saying that am in favor
of paying laboring man dollar day
and that | have said that that is enough.
/ was al the head of the Panama Canal for
four years and we pay steam shovel men
down there $3.50 a month. As l figure
that ont ii makes little more than one

man who believes hlm is a fool. Why
under heaven l should say that l cannot
understand, or in what connection or un-
der what circumstances"

WHILE some of our Democratic friends
are decrying the action of President
Roosevelt in his public utterances
through the press, claiming that it lowers
the dignity of the great office, we fail to
see any harm in his so doing. President
Roosevelt believes in taking the people
into his confidence and as a result the
great mass of America people believe in
him and his policies and are going to vote
for the man who is best fitted to carry
them out.-Sheffield Observer.

One of the excellent, level-headed and
honorable candidates on the Republican
ticket this year is our worthy townsman
S. r. Maxwell, the nominee of the party
for Sheriff. He was born in Clarion
county thirty-nine years ago, and has
been resident of Forest county for more
than seventeen years, his tirst home here
being at Nebraska, where he was en-
ployed at barge building for several
years, afterward moving to Tionests,
where he has bOrnea a reputation for hon.
esty and entegrity second to none of our
citizens. SHARP" as he is familiarly
called by his friends and neighbors, has
been hardworking laboring man from
his yonth and deserves the earnest, loyal
support of his fellow workmen in this
campaign. As constable of this borough
for three years he discharged his duties
with promptness, fairness and impartial
ity and displayed his efficiency as pub
lie official in high degree. TO the office
of Sheriff he will bring the same high
degree of efficiency, and we predict will
win the high opinions of the people he
serves. Mr.. Maxwell's nomination was
won at the primaries last spring after a
fair and honorable contest, which left no
bitter feelings, and we have every reason
to believe the Republicans throughout
the county will stand by him to man al
the election on the third ofnext Novem-
ber. There would he no possible excuse
for doing otherwise for he is a clean.

no word of reproach can truthfully be
