Campaigning In The County.

A we'll attended and enthusiastic Re-
publican meeting was held at East Hick-
ory, Thursday evening last, at which the
local candidates were present, as we'll as
other local speakers. Congressman to-
be Speer made one of his characteristic.
ally incisive speeches that carried con-
yiction to every bearer in the audience
and impressed all with the belief that in
him the Republicans had a candidate who
could easily take care of the interests of
the 2Sth district in the halls of Congress.
A. G. Brown, Esq, and Judge Samuel
ID. Irwin were also among the speakers
of the evening and both acquitted them
selves to the satisfaction of their audi isnce
and were frequently interrupted by en-
thusiastic applause. Throughout the
meeting was pronounced success, leav-
ing a splendid impression on the assem-
blage, and it can be set down as fact
that the community will return a good
vote for the whole ticket on the Sth of
November.
The Endeavor band was present and
eplivened the occasion with some of the
delectsble music which the boys are in
the habit of producing,
AT Kellettville, on the evening pre-
vious, Wednesday, fine meeting was
also held, the audience being very atten-
tive to what Mr.. Speer had to say con-
cerning the issues before the people in
this campaign. The candidates were
very cordially received and we're made to
feel that they were in the house OF their
friends. The Republicans of Kelleltville
are alive to the situation and will be right
on hand when the voting is done, as they
always are. Here also the towns crack
musical organization, the concert band,
enlvened the meeting with a number of
their best selections, feature which lent
charm and interest to the otherwise
happy occasion.
Mr.. Speer expressed great satisfaction
at the very cordial receptions accorded
the party wherever they went, and said
he would be pleased to spend a month
among the good people of Forest county,
but the duties Of the campaign compelled
him to visit other parts of the district and
he felt safe In leaving the matter with the
voters, and he firmly believed that the
Slh of November would see the party
again loyal and victorious in Forest as
well as all the other counties of the dis
trict.

Splendid Endorsement of p. M. Speer.

The kind of an endorsement that helps
a candidate for public office is one that
comes voluntarily from a man of high
character. Such an endorsement has
come to Peter NJ. Speer, Republican can
didate for Congress. The endorser is
Prof. George II. Lamb, who was a class
mate of Mr.. Speer for two years at Alle-
gheny College aud who has written to the
editor of the Mercer Dispatch and Re-
publican praising the Republican candi-
date. Prot. Lamb is a native of Mercer
county aud was formerly principal Of
McElwain Institute at New Lebanon and
of the Mercer public schools. For sew
eral years he has been at the head of the
Carnegie library at Brsddock. His letter
is as follows:
"Brsddock, Pa, Oct. is, 1910
Editor Dispatch; Will you kindly
give me little space in your valuable
paper to tell my old friends and neigh
bors in Mercer county what know of
your candidate for Congress, Hon. P. NJ,
Speer. Peter and were classmates dur
ing our freshman year at Allegheny Col
lege in 'S2 and 49, Like myself, he
didn't have any more money than he
needed in those days, and at the end of
the year he had to stop until he could
gather up the needful. Later he went to
Westminster College, and still later to
Washington and Jefferson, where he
graduated in 1887.
"In college Speer was one of the good,
substantial, hard-working, honest kind.
Nothing snowy, nothing done for effect,
no playing to the galleries, but good,
honest work every day. In Olney's third
part geometry, under DIR. Goff, the whole
book, consisting of original demonstra-
tions without explanations or geometricsl
figures of any kind, the class soon came
to know that when Speer didn't have
them, nobody could do them. The same
was true of his Latin and Greek and all
other studies. Speer's room. mate was
Rckenbrode, now a prominent Methodist
minister, and the way Speer and Ricken-
brode would come up with their Homer
and their Horace was an inspiration TO
many fellow.
"I was therefore not the least surprised,
after quarter ofa century, to learn that
Peter Speer was the Hon. p. NJ. Speer, a
man of distinction in his own county, an
honest man. If the people of the 2sth dis
trict want to be represented by fire.
brand, something spectacular, something
that will make a big noise, they don't
want to vote for Speer. But if they want
man to represent them in Congress who
is not afraid of honest work, man who
will go to the bottom of every question, a
man who will have the courage of his
convictions, who will take a stand and
| hold it because he has Investigated and
knows he is right, they will find such a
man in Hon. p. NJ. Speer, and they will
do themselves credit in electiDg such a
man TO represent them.
"Very truly.

MONDAY, at Philadelphia John X.
Tener, Republican candidate for govern
or, swore out warrant for the arrest OF
f. A. VanValkenburg, editor of the
Philadelphia North American, charging
him with criminal libel. The warrant
was not served, but counsel for Mr.. Tener
sent letter to Mr.. Valkenburg in
forming him of the action the guberna-
torial candidate had taken and notifying
him that hearing in the case would be
held on Friday. Later in the day there
were also rumors that Mr.. Tener would
begin civil action for heavy damages
against the newspaper edited by Mr.. Van
Valkenburg, but this rumor could not be
verified. In this action Mr.. Tener gives
notice that, candidate or no candidate, he
will not stand to be lied about and ira
duced by gang of bloodthirsty character
assassins, and the whole state, regardless
of party affiliations will honor and re-
spect him for the stand he has taken. A
lie will outrun the truth thousand times,
and while Mr.. Tener has made and may
contittie to make the most straightfor.
ward and convincing denials of the
ISLANDERS published by these dastardly
mudslingers, they persistently keep 1t up,
knowing that the truth cannot overtake
the lies, And so it is that the people will
heartily endorse his action in bringing
his traducers before a bar of justice that
the truth may be brought out to the full 4
est extent. No honest man believes that
John X. Tener has been engaged in any
scheme to defraud his fellow citizens,
and much as some would like to make
these falsehoods serve as pretext for
voting against him, other excuses will
have to be conjured up. This villification
camnalQn is boomeranging terribly, and
is bringing thousands OF honest men to
Mr.. I&nar's support because of their love
of fair ~ and decency in politics.

in 1913. An election for successor will
take place in 1912, Wright was appointed
by Governor Stuart to succeed J. A.
Stober, elected in 1909, but who died be-
fore qualifying. All the political parties
have nominated candidates for state
treasurer to be voted for in November
and the decision will necessitate changes
in the tickets. The quo warranto bill al

A VOTE for VIM. J. Campbell is a vote

be no mans man, but who will be guided
solely by the will of the people who sent
him there. Who has both the wisdom to
know the needs of the people and the
strength of character to stand up for their
rights. Mr.. Campbell is a sell made
man, rising from poor boy to success
iul business man by pure pluck, hard
work and an indomitable will. A staunch
Republican from the day he cast his first
vote, and one who will be found loyal to
his party when its honor or integrity are
assailed by foes without or within. He

WORK ON THE GREAT CANAL
Some Surprising Statistics as to What
is Going on in Panama.

Washington, April 16--Although
II was generally known that splendid
progress had been made by the army
engineers in digging the Panama
ANAL, statement In The Canal
Record, just at hand. that all the ex-
cavation that was contemplated In
the original project has been com
pleted, comes as a surprise.
Under the original plan 103, $4,000
cubic yards of material we're to be
removed. and that has been done.
But subsequently. in order to accom-
modate naval vessals of the Dread
nought type and the giant liners now
under construction. the President
ordered the widening and deepening
of the canal. That involved the re-
moval v SiO.S7l,5 94 additional yards
Of mat lal, and that is all OF the task
of excavation that now confronts the
engineers.
The record OF accomplishment has
been marvellous, and without prece-
dent in engineering undertakings.
The real work OF digging did not be-
gin until 1907. in which year nearly
100000 cubic yards Of earth were
moved. and since that time the daily
average has been steadily growing
until now. In three and quarter
years. all the excavation called for
in the original plan has been accom-.
plished
Last month 3,O67.i79 yards Of ma
terial were taken out. and this In the
face OF the heaviest rains known on
