A most unfortunate accident
happened to Lawrence Zaner, the
6 years old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lewis B. Zaner, of Cherry town
ship, on Sunday morning. He
received very bad fracture of the
skull. How it happened is not yet
known, as in his serious condition
the doctor advised not to question
the boy about it Mrs. Zaner, the
boys mother, found him lying out
side of the barn, badly injured.
On the way to the house his mother
asked if the horse kicked him. He
answered by shaking his head.
Mrs. Zaner did not ask him again
as his mind was not clear. The
doctors were summoned and after
an examination found bad frac-
ture of the skull. Two pieces Of
bone about one inch in size, were
taken out, also several slivered
pieces of bone. He had a rather
restless night Monday night, but
Tuesday he was much brighter and
the doctors entertain strong hopes
for his speedy recovery.-Dushore

State Sunday School Convention

The 46th annual convention of
the State Sunday School Associa-
ton held in Altoona, was opened
by a song rendered by trained
choir of 100 singers under the lead
ership of Prof. f. o. Excel. Del
egates were present from every
county in the State.
There are 3S front line counties
that have qualified in all of the ten
points of excellence, among them
being Sullivan, Lycoming, Colum-
bia, Bradford, Luzerne and Wyom-
ing. This is the second year that
Sullivan County has been front
liner. There were 1,512 classes
and IA, $50 students at work in the
Teacher Training work during the
year. Examinations were taken
by S,936 students.
The parde of Adult Bible Glasses
on Friday evening was viewed by
the delegates of the convention and
more then half of the population of
the city. Possibly 5000 men
marched over the streets of the city
to the stirring notes of Coward
Christian Soldiers
The town of New Castle was
chosen as the place of meeting in
1911. OF the 1862 Sunday
Schools in the State, 2,OS9 are u.s.
ing the graded lessons. Only five
counties in the state are not using
them. Men and women from all
over the state, from every county
and nearly town, all intent upon
learning the best method of teach.
ing men and women, boys and girls,
the way of righteousness, met in
Altoona. The workers from all
parts OF the states gathered together
to discuss what has been done fol
the Sunday Schools during the past
year, and to plan for greater things
to be accomplished during the com.
ing year.

That's just what we are doing.
Therefore our groceries are fresh

STAND FAST!!

are as honest and well meaning as
ourselves, but their party leaders
generally, (whatever they may put
into their PLATFORM have no fixed
principles and only one object in
view. which is to defeat the Re-
publican party by any means in
their power, and install themselves
in the public offices of trust and
profit.
THEY talk about REPUBLICAN ras-
cality VIM. M. Tweed, the Tam
many Democratic boss of New
York City, and of the whole State
was a brigand without an equal in
the world. He stole millions from
the public funds to buy votes and
build himself a palace, and died in
prison. Richard Croker, one OF
his Democratic successors, declared
publicly that he ''was in politics
for the money there was in it,"
His embezzlements were enormous
but too deeply hidden to be pun
ished.
There are now no indications
that a new party is coming into the
field which will be able to thrust
the old parties aside. The Key
stone party Gan oifshoot of the
Democratic partly is confined to
Pennsylvania. Its candidate fol
Governor is a Democrat "dyed in
the wool, and has never claimed
to be anything but Democrat.
He is only a "decoy duck to lure
Republicans into the Democratic
trap.
Third parties have frequently
sprung up, but have had only q
short existence, and never accom-
plished any good work. Either
the Republican or the Democratic
party will control the United
States Government in 1912. Which
shall it be?
There are divisions in the Re.
publican party as there were in the
early christian church, but they
are differences which should not di.
vide-only differences of opinion
which should not separate friends,
and it is the duty of all good Re
publicans to exercise an enlarged
christian charity, and labor for the
principles of the Republican party
We glory in its history. 1t stood
up for the rights of man when the
Democratic party stood up for the
rights of property in slaves. II
stood by the nations flag wher
many of the Democratic party fal
tered. 1t gave the colored laborer
the right to their labor and vii
never permit white or colored la
borers to be trampled in the dus
by soulless corporations. 1t is tn,
party of civilization. of progress
and moral reform. 1t is full of vi
tality and will have triumphant
future because it is right and Re
publicans love it, and when danger
threatens will forget their differ
ences of opinion and stand by it
1t is clothed with invincibility ant
will never die until it puts off it:

ment of it's principles, or is slaugh
tered in the house of its friends b,

intelligent person, one fully familiar
with civics and politics, to originate a
more complex, cumbersome and absurd
system for the selecting of candi-
dates for Office than the one under
which we are doing so?
Q0) The most serious objection to
the present system is that it
permits few to rule the many. 1t
makes our much boosted theory of self
government farce. In this state a
nomination by the Republican party is
equivalent to an election. Therefore,
at the Republican caucus we really
choose our public officials. What
per cent of Republican voters, then,
really have voice in choosing our
officials? Less than 10 per cent through
out the state. Why does such condi-
ton obtain? Note this picture of a
caucus in Republican town having a
Republican voting strength of over
1900 voters. Twenty-Five men are gath
cred for the caucus. A list of names
OF delegates has been prepared in ad-
vance by two or three men in confer
ence. AS soon as the caucus is called
to order some one moves that com.
mittee be appointed to prepare and
present list of delegates. The mo-
ton is carried and strangely enough the
man who has brought the prepared list
to the caucus is member of that com.

days of Adam. The ballot is taken
the result announced. The result is in
accord with the solution worked out
by the masters of the situation while
the delegates were sleeping. The
delegates for a few hours were sure of
being conscious of acting as independ-
ent beings. They were, in fact, what
Governor Hughes has so aptly termed
registering machines" to register the
will of the political bosses. They, in
fact, had no more to do in shaping the
action of that convention than children
unborn.
These Registering machines" were
elected at thinly attended caucuses
manipulated by political heelers. Many
of them were transported to the conven-
ton city upon money of some candi-
date. That candidate they blindly sup
ported. Does system which brings
about the selection of candidates in
such manner tend to secure and per.
petuate rule of the people?
90 The caucus and convention system
is cumbersome and complex. Consider
it under the most favorable conditions
as it applies to the two leading par.
ties. Il } In the presidential year, al
least two caucuses are held in each
town for election of delegates to attenc
state and congressional convention
for the election of delegates to the
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1910-05-11

talking excitedly, figuring on the
prob able outcome. Rumors are
plentiful. Faithful henchmen of the
candidates are circulating in the
crowd, and a stream of delegates are
by them piloted to the headquarters of
the candidates in rooms above. In
these various headquarters the dele
gate meets these candidates, who greet
him as long lost brother. The dele
gate is assured of their high esteem
and regard, praised and complimented
until he begins to wonder why it is that
he had so long escaped being sent to
Congress. He goes on from head
quarters to headquarters, accommodating
stock of cigars and cheap praise
until, tired by exertions, he seeks his
rest.
Then it is that the masters of the
situation are settling the matter of the
selection of candidates. Then it is that
the trades are made, and the plans for
running the convention are perfected.
In the morning the delegate again
finds the same confusion, the same un-
certainty. He repairs to the conven-
ton hall. There the air is surcharged
with excitement and manufactured en-
thusiasm. The organization is per-
fected. Nominations are called. The
best orators laud their candidates as
the grandest creations of God since the
