LEWIS VERSUS HUFFMAN.
HARVEY HUFFMAN.

Harvey Huffman was nominated at
the June primaries by judicious use
of Doodle and lots of promise made
to the Wayne county element. He
extended the glad hand to the saloon
men here in Wayne county and was
a hale fellow well met" while going
the rounds. In Monroe county where
he thought he had a cinch, he cajoled
the Keystoners until he got their
nomination, only to be thrown off
the ticket when they got on to his
curves. He then managed to sneak
in on the Prohibition ticket and his
name was sent in and nearly all of
the Wayne county ballots were print
ed with his name under the Prohibi-
tion circle. This was discovered and
the Secretary of the Commonwealth
telegraphed Sheriff Braman to cut
him off the Prohibition and put him
on the Socialist ticket where he be-
longs. There is a big cloud how
ering over Harvey's record in Monroe
county and although it was no bigger
than mans hand few weeks ago,
it will be tornado size before election
day. Harvey was counsel to the COM
missioners at one time and he was
counsel for some other people at the
same time and, it is said, he mixed
his advice up in such a way that
Harvey didn't lose anything, but the
county can't say they didn't. Mon.

CANDIDATES COMPARED
PRATT YER SUS KIPP.
GEORGE w. KIPP.

George W. Kipp, who is the candi-
date on the Democratic ticket for
Congress and has managed to get on
the Keystone ticket. although he has
none of the qualifications that the
Keystoners claim is necessary. Kipp
was Congressman one term and was
absent 147 times and always when
he was needed by the people of his
district to protect their interests. He
shirked every time when needed. AS
a commissioner of Wayne county in
1888, he was a party to exhausting
the county treasury to such an eX-
tent that his own party leaders held
a mass meeting to call a halt on the
lavish squandering of county money
The result of this meeting was 81,
900 was returned to the county treas
urer by legal process, and what was
lost to the county could only be esti-
mated Kipp has been a success as a
business man in making money. He
is worth at least $1,000,000, but a
recent examination of the records of
Bradford county show that he has
never paid one cent of taxation only
on his occupation, one COW and
one horse On his millions invested
in bonds, stocks and money at inter-
est, he has lodged the taxes for
years, and yet he asks us to vote for
him to represent us in Congress.

JACKSON VERSUS FUERTH.
ii. G. JACKSON.

H. C. Jackson is a Wayne county
man by birth, by education and a life
long residence with us. Can you
mention any better recommend for
man, whom you wish to represent
you? He is a farmer and a success
full one, and as a farmer he repre-
sents the very best element of county
life for it is the farmer who digs the
money out of mother earth in the
shape of vegetables, fruit, grain, etc.
He is the biggest manufacturer with
NATURE as silent partner that the
world has. Do away with the farmer
and we would all die of starvation.
The farmers of Wayne county raise
crops from the soil, turn them into
money, bring the money to the
Honesdale banks, so that the mer-
chants and manufacturers can go to
the bank, borrow the farmers money
to pay wages to the workingmen,
clerks, etc. Now the farmers of
Wayne county have nominated Farm
er Jackson of Tyler Hill as the man
whom they want to represent this
county at Harrisburg. Now Honest
Injun" don't you think, Mr.. Store
keeper, Mr.. Workingman and Mr..
Manufactures that its square deal
to grant them this wish, especially
as they have not had representative
for so many years that it has escaped
the memory of man. This man jack
son has had a valuable experience in
mercantile life; he has been success
full in his own business, pays his
debts, and is one of the most respect
ed citizens in this section of the
county. There are a lot of ques-
tions concerning agricultural pur-
suits that will come up in this next
legislature
We presume you know that the
cost of living has gone up; if you
don't you ought to. Well, the only

WINFRED ID. LEWIS.

Winfred D. Lewis Is the Republi-
can candidate for State Senator. The
nomination came to him unsolicited.
1t was a case of the nomination seek
ing the man and not the man seek
ing the nomination. He has never
held office, although eminently fitted
to fill any office of trust or response
bility.
He is young man 81 years of age,
began life as a breaker boy around
the mines, received a good common
school education; then earned money
for a college course, working even
ings to pay for his tuition, after
wards entered Dickinson law school,
graduated with high honors, built up
a law practice in his native town and
county and by straightforward, man
ly business methods has won the re-
spect and confidence of all who know
him in every walk of life. He en-
tered this race for Senator with re-
luctance but at the earnest solicita-
tion of his many friends in both par
ties. He has started his canvass and
so warmly has his cause been ex-
poused by Democrats and Republi-
cans that it is confidently expected he
| will be elected. His own county will
give a rousing majority. Monroe
county Democrats, disgusted at the
antics of Huffman, who is thorough
ly unreliable, are outspoken in their
| disapproval of Huffman's attempt to
| get on the Keystone, Prohibition and
! Socialist tickets and will either not
vote for Senator or vote for Lewis.

LEOPOLD FUERTH.

Leopold Fuerth has been to Har-
risburg four times; this is the fifth
time he has tried for the position. A
great many people think he has been
elected as many times as he ought
to be. He promised some people he
would not run anymore, but would
try for State Senator, but Joel Hill
got the whip hand of him in that
deal and so he comes back for an
other trial as Representative. Leo
pold is real good fellow in many
respects but he has got it in to his
head, that the legislature of Pennsyl-
vania actually needs him in order
to make the laws of this state. Leo
pold's paper which he had published
in Scranton proudly points to his rec
ord and it actually insinuates that
Fuerth was the whole shooting match
when at Harrisburg; that all the vir-
tue that grew at Harrisburg was
planted by him.

STUART'S ENDORSEMENT OF
TENER

For nearly four years Edwin S.
Stuart has conducted the affairs of
Pennsylvania as its chief executive.
In the campaign of 1906 he was the
Republican candidate for Governor
Rarely has there been a political
battle such as that was. Mr.. Stuart
had led an honorable life, but that
fact did not prevent the villiliers of
Pennsylvania and the libelers of
Philadelphia and the agitators from
assailing him on the stump. The
people were told that If eiected the
state would go to the dogs; that he
did not own himself; that he was the
candidate of Bosses" and as such
must bow to them. All sorts of
evils were predicted.
Not only was he the target for the
coterie of political highwaymen in
Philadelphia and for the hypocrites
in politics everywhere to fire at, but
men entirely honest in their opin-
ions-mistaken but honest-argued
and voted against him. Rudolph
Blankenburg was one of those who
stumped the state and did his best
to defeat Stuart. William II. Berry
was active in his denunciations.
What happened? The majority of
the people were not to be fooled
They supported Stuart and he was
elected. And there has followed an
administration that has proved to
be a model. There is, and can be
no just criticism of the Stuart ad-
ministration. On the contrary, it is
admitted even by his former fierce
opponents that the Republican admin
istration of the affairs of Pennsylva-
mia stands without a blemish.
Today another Republican candi-
date, pledged to carry out the Stuart
policies is before the people, and
once more the same agitation is
heard throughout the state. Tener

CHARLEs c. PRATT.

C. C. Pratt has served half a term
in Congress. His official record
shows that on every bill effecting the
interests of the people of his dis
trict, he was present and his vote
stands out as being cast for the best
interests of his people.
He stood for the passage of every
measure that would benefit the work
ingman. On the glass schedule he
was insistent on having the cut glass
and glass blowing interests protected
from the cheap ware and cheap lab
or of Europe. On agricultural mat
ters, being on the Committee on Ag-
riculture, he was Johnny on the
spot" working tooth and nail to see
that the farmer and dairyman and all
their interests had fair square deal.
For the old veterans he did more in
his half term than Kipp did in full
term. He introduced and had passed
Is special pension bills. Pratt has
measured up to the high standard of
faithful Congressman. His private
life is above reproach. His business
life is as "clean as a hounds tooth,
not a syllable has been uttered
against him. A man of excellent
habits, morally clean, and in busi-
ness, square as a die. AS a citizen
he has been foremost in every public
work that called for time or money.
He has never shirked any duty or any
tax placed upon him; he pays on
every dollar he has at interest which
is $4,000, and every obligation of
civic life has been squarely met. In
social life he is genial and COM
panionable, although he has never
drank liquor, or used tobacco, yet to
meet him is to like him, and it mat
ters not whether a man is a ditch

LETTER FROM MONROE COUNTY.

We read piece in our county pa
per written by somebody up in the
north part of your county praising
Harvey Huffman, and recommending
him for State Senator. The man
who wrote it must have met Harvey
on one of his trips. Harvey is
smooth and oily all right. Here in
Monroe county where he lives we
have him down pat and the reason
why the Democrats are going to vote
for Lewis is, we know both Huffman
and Lewis and while it "goes agin'
the grain" to vote for a Republican,
yet of the two evils we must choose
the least. Lewis is clean, honest,
reliable and capable. Anybody who
is honest and knows Harvey Huffman
can't say that he has any of the above
qualifications. He is as slippery as
they make them. He is a liquor man
to the liquor dealer, a local option
man to the Keystoners, a prohibition
ist to the temperance crowd, and now
he is on the Socialist ticket and to
them he claims he is out for an
equal division of everything under
the sun. Monroe county Democrats
will not stand for any such monkey
shine business and will vote for
Lewis who has won the respect of
those who know him. Huffman S
record as counsel for the County
Commissioners is about all Monroe
county can stand.

The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1910-11-02

In the approaching political cam
paign, there is going to be an oppor
tunity for good many people to lose
their heads, and possibly do a great
deal of injustice to some people, and
injury to the country. Study your
men; don't lose your head. Edwin
S. Stuart was villified by the same
papers and men who are now villify-
ing John X. Tener. Four years from
now they will turn their batteries of
mud upon the man whom the Re-
publican party will nominate. Wash
ington, Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and
every Republican who has been a
standard bearer has had to pass
through the same ordeal.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1910-11-02

One week more will end the po-
litical campaign and we shall then
know whether the policies of the Re
publican administration at Washing
ton are to be continued or whether
we may look for a Democratic Presi-
dent to succeed Taft.
Let no mistake be made about
this. 1t is easy to think of the Pres
idential struggle as two years off, and
to repeat that one cannot cross
bridge until he arrives at it. AS a
matter of fact we have arrived prac-
tically at that bridge today. This
election throughout the Nation is pre-
liminary to the great contest Just
ahead. 1t is proposed by the Demo-
Gratis and their sympathizers to cap
tuTe right now the House of Repre-
sentatives at Washington; to control
enough legislatures to win the Senate
of the United States, or at least to
so reduce the Republican majority
in the Senate as to make victory easy
in another two years; to run a Will
son or Harmon or a Gaynor for
President, in case triumph next
week, and thus place the Democratic
party in power.
And this triumph can be brought
about, but only with the consent OF
Republican voters. Let all Republi-
cans consider that. Let themapermit
great Republican states to be turned
over to the Democrats next week and
they will quickly find that theiI
chances for redeeming the country
in 1912 and electing a Republican
President are exceedingly slim.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1910-11-02

Why are the Democratic papers
silent as to the character of their
candidates? The Democratic papers
of Monroe hardly mention Harvey

editor of the Herald was one of the
men who signed the call for this in
dignation meeting and helped to
get back into the county treasury
$1,000 of the plunder. "Kipp is the

RICHARDS DEFEATS FATHER
IN WALL CUP SEMI-FINALS

In one of the fastest tennis matches
seen here for many years, Anterior
Richards defeated his father yester-
day afternoon in three straight sets in
the semi-fnal play for the Wall cup
on the courts of the Beretania Club.
Playing even a better game than
he did on Saturday against Castle,
young Richards, by steady and con-
sistent playing outplayed his father
at nearly every stage of the match,
thereby giving him the right to meet
Captain Low tomorrow in the final
play for the handsome cup presented
by w. A. Wall
. Richards senior played a good,
steady game, although he was unable
to return many of the swift back hand
strokes which his son is noted for.
Young Richards played more of net
game than he usually does, and was
able to make a number of his points
that way.

Captain Low. played his usual fast
game, and was never in danger of
defeat, his Lawford and back hand
strokes being sent over with swift
accuracy. Considering the fact that
he was obliged to give the eX-lady
champion owe fifteen on each game,
he never at any time during the
match extended himself to the limit
which he VIII probably have to do
when he meets Anterior Richards in
the finals.

for the team from Waianae in an eff
