Candidate For Governor Gets
.-os Fine OvatlOns. ~
MAKES BIG HIT WITH VOTERS
Republican Standard Bearer Frankly
Meets Live Issues and Is Assured of
Splendid Victory. -s,.. p ,,.-.

John X Tener and his associates on
the Republican state ticket are being
| given splendid receptions and ovations
on their trip through the state.
| The meetings have in almost every
| instance been even larger than those
witnessed in the triumphal tour of
/ Edwin S. Stuart four years ago.
Keen interest in the success of the
| campaign and enthusiasm for the
nominees, manifested in every county
! that has been visited, must fore
| shadow a great victory in November.
Pennsylvania Republicans are har-
monious and aggressive, and with the
| Democracy divided between Grim and
| Berry, the indications are that the ma
! jority for John X. Tener for governor
will be the largest given to any nomi-
nee for that office in this state in re.
cent years.
Believes In Education.
For his clean-cut, manly and frank
| discussions of the issues of the cam
paign, Candidate Tener has been COM
| mended upon every hand. He does not
hesitate to express himself freely upon
all questions and is taking the people
into his confidence as he goes from
place to place, meeting the voters face
to face, and grasping them by the hand
and impressing all with his candor
and sincerity.
In chatting with we'll known edu-
Gator the other day, Mr.. Tener said:
fpT11 haf nAt
coupled with good sound common
sense, will do more to obliterate the
thought of anticipated and imaginary
dangers in the future than any other
agency that can be invoked. | am
firm and everlasting believer in the
cause of education. 1t has served
where modern equipment in the hands
of a well-drilled militant force would
have been without avail and has done
more to make the United States the
wonderful nation that she is than any
thing We have ever known.
Build school houses, have compe-
tent instructors, interest the youthful
minds, and happiness and clean, godly
lives can be the only result"
At Home Among Wage Farmers.
During the course of an address to
coal miners Of Schuylkll county, Mr.
Tener said:
1T has been my misfortune that
have never visited this section OF
Pennsylvania before, and while | am
not stranger in a community of this
kind, because | come from the soft
coal region of the Monongahela river.
! live with and associate with men
who work in the mines and in the
shops of that great industrial district.
On the river that flows past my door
more than 100000 tons of coal are
fioated every year, so that in coming
here and seeing you, the same kind of
people that We have at home, in the
same line of work | feel quite at
home. | know that your lives and
your thoughts and your aims are very
much like ours at home and your po-
ltical belief ought to be like ours at
home. We are Republicans there be-
cause we believe that through the Re
publican party we receive the greatest
benefit.
the United Mine Workers Union, and
out there every man that works in the
mine is a union man. The United
Mine Workers Union has set a high
standard for themselves and for all
union labor, in my opinion, because
whenever they sign contract with /
the operators they see to it that it is
kept, so that we live in harmony and
peace"
The farmers of the stae know they
have a friend in John *. Tener.
While a member of congress he was
a stout champion of every measure
that came before that body designed |
to advance the interests of the gran
ger and dairyman.
Party Organization Essential.
Candidate Tener's firm belief in the |
importance of maintaining party or
ganization through which to promote |
policies and fix responsibilities of gov !
ernment has been expressed on more !
than one occasion since the canvass
was inaugurated.
Upon this question a few days ago |
he said
81 believe in government in this !
country by political parties. | believe !
that the best results are secured when !
there are two great parties divided on
civic and economic questions.
81 have not in the past nor do now
believe that aGy permanent good can
De accomplished by those spasmodic |
movements resulting in the organlza- |
tion of additional parties, whose ca |
reers are but temporary and which |
have signally failed to accomplish the |
purposes for which they were ostensi- !
bly, brought into existence.
81 do not only believe in government |
by political parties, but | believe in |
party regularity. Each voter should |
take an active interest in the manage |
sIent of his owu party, in the selection |
of a ticket and in the writing of the |
platform. Should conditions arise with
in his party which do not appeal to |
him he should earnestly strive to have |
them eliminated"
