To the Republicans OF Wayne Co.:
take this means of announcing
myself as candidate for the nomi-
nation of Prothonotary at the pri-
maries, Sept. 80, 1911.
To most of you 1 am known per-
sonally. During my seventeen years
of service as clerk in the Homes
dale postoffice my efforts have been
to perform my duties faithfully and
courteously to the patrons of the Of
fee and the public generally.
To the voters with whom l am not
personally acquainted l would say
that, since a severe injury sustain
ed by my father few years before
his accidental death when l was six
teen years old l have tried to make
an honest living. My birthplace was
in Texas township, district No. 4,
Wayne county. My school days
were limited to the district school
and the Honesdale High school. AS
a boy of eleven years l spent my
summers slate picking on the Della
ware & Hudson dock and attended
school during the winter l also
spent several summers working on a
farm in Cherry Ridge.
After school l entered the office
of the Honesdale Iron Works, known
now as the Guerney Electric Elevator
Co., where ! stayed number of
years and later entered the Homes
dale postoffice serving two years un-
der William F. Briggs. l then went
to the Carbondale Lumber company
as a bookkeeper, remaining with
them until the appointment as post
master of Miss Mary e. Gerety, who
later became the wife of Hon. G. A.
McCarty. IN June, 1896, l returned
to the Honesdale postoffice where
have been employed ever since. In
coming bfore the people and asking
their assistance and vote at the COM
ing primaries, let me say that l am
no tool of any boss or bosses.
simply desire in common with every
American citizen to better my condi-
tion. Your support will be appre-
ciated and if nominated and elected
/ will devote all my time and atte1-
tion to the duties Of the Office to
which / aspire.
Most cordially yours,

scratch their heads. Only a few years
ago the Wisconsin senator not only
stood alone, but was hazed whenever
he tried to speak. In this session he
welded the balance Of power and thus
controlled the senate. Here is food fol
reflection and material for moral and
political essays.
Sessions Political Importance.
While party lines were broken, the
extra session was full of presidential
politics. One heard on every side the
prediction that this move or that would
help or hurt the president or would
advance or retard Democratic or pro
gressive chances. Such comment was
especially free in relation to the vari
GUS tariff bills, including reciprocity
If the tariff board reports next winter
in time for tariff revision on one OF
two important schedules before the
opening of the presidential campaign
the effect of the extra session may be
modified. AS matters now stand the
opinion in Washington is that the
president will be renominated, buI
the breach between him and a part OF
the progressives has grown so wide
that walkout in the convention viii
result and third ticket may enter the
field. The head of that third ticket
would, ot course, be Robert Marion
La Toilette. Some Of the Wisconsin
senator's friends are even predicting
that he will carry the national conven
ton.
The passage of the campaign pub
licity bin has given qualification to al
friends of good government and clear
elections. 1t covers the campaigns OF
representatives and senators and pro
vides for publicity not only after bu
before elections and not only in the
final polls, but in primaries. At las
there is hope of an end to the reign o
bribery that has so long disgraced th'
republic.
AS to the reapportionment Of thu
house, this is so adjusted that no stat
loses a representative, but many gain
| anywhere from one to six.

REVIEW OF THE EXTRA SESSION. !
WHAT WIS DONE AND WHAT WIS NOT /
Steel Trust Probe attracted
Wide Attention --- Con-
gressmen as Martyrs

Charles NJ. Schwab, Judge Gary, a
brother of Mark Hanna and other en-
lnent citizens also testified During
the hearings the committee was af-
forded some rather surprising glimpses
of how panics are started and stopped.
how trusts absorb their competitors,
how a level of prices is maintained
without any general agreement there
to and how a benevolent corporation
may hold an umbrella" over the bust
ness of the country. One of the most
remarkable pieces of testimony was
that of Judge Gary of the steel trust,
who advocated that the government fix
prices, thereby making Eugene Debs
and Victor Berger look like kinder
garten Socialists.
Then there was the sugar trust in
vestigation, In which Claus Spreckels
told how somebody put dead rats into
his sugar barrels, broke his machinery,
conspired against him and scared off
his trade. There was the Wiley in
quiry, in which it came out that the
pure food crusader had been driven
into a corner where he had about as
much. power as an Office boy. There
was the latest chapter of the Lorimer
ease, with dark hints of 100000 funds
and odd glimpses of politics as the
game is played both in Washington
and Springfield. There was the state

department probe, wherein a certain
paper lost for years was found on the
floor, indicating either that there is Il
trance medium in the department who
can materialiZe paper or that the floor
is not swept very often. And there
was the Controller bay investigation,
from which it transpired that the
"Dick to Dick letter" never happened,
or, if it did, that it never would hap
pen again.
Surely this extra session hungereth
and thirsteth after knowledge. 1t is
of an inquiring turn of mind. 1t is
going to find out things even if it has
to uncover all the secret and inside
history of the Republican party. Yes,

vestigatlon into the postoftice depart
ment and the parcels post. The papers
have had little to say about this, and
yet it has gone forward none the less
earnestly. There We're Investigations
all the way from Alaska to Wall
street. We thought that quite a batch
of these inquiries materialized during
the last congress, but the way the
present one is taking up the scent the
chase promises to be hotter than ever.
Direct Election of Senators.
For the public at large one of the
most regrettable features of the extra
session was the sidetracking of the
direct election of senators. This con-
stitutional amendment passed both
houses by the required two-thtrds ma
jority, but was amended in the senate
in a manner the house would not ac-
cept. There is little question that the
two bodies win get together In the
regular session and that the measure
will finally succeed, but it may be de-
layed too long for the state legisla-
lures to act upon it next winter. The
amendment that caused the trouble
was the same one that created havoc
In the last congress. At that time II
was known as the Sutherland amend
ment but this time was offered by
Senator Bristow. 1t provides that the
federal government shall have charge

surgent Republicans supporting them
But on the tariff and statehood meas

In scarcely any case during the entire
session was there straight party
fight The Democrats were united
much more closely than their oppo
nents. In nearly every instance, al
least on important measures, the Dem
ocratic vote was a unit, while that OF
the Republicans was divided.

What the Meanings

What this forebodes for the future ii
Is as yet too early to determine. The
general view of the closest students OF
politics is that it means an independ-
ent or progressive candidate for the
presidency in case the insurgents do
not succeed in capturing the next Re.
publican national convention. Certain ii
Is that Senator La Toilette maneuvered
himself into a position of great power
in the extra session. His voice was
the voice of the senate in the tariff bill
conferences. Underwood of the house
and La Toilette of the senate were the
two men who decided the character of
the wool, cotton and free list bills.
That indicated revolution in the up
per house and caused the old timers to

lBy Morning Journal Special Leased wirel
Washington, June S.--An attack on
the democratic wool tariff bill on the
ground that it affords protection TO
tho so-called worsted trust, was made
in the house today by Representative
Victor Murdoch of Kansas. We at
tackled the 40 per cent duty on wor-
sted cloths which the bin contains
declaring that 1t meant immediate
protection to the combination that
controls the wcrsted output.
Mr.. Murdoch said the worsted trust
has so lowered the quality of goods
that the consumer buys, that "cloth-
ing manufacturers have been asham-
ed to pass the fabrics on the wear
ers." At the SAME time he said the
cost of worsted goods has been in
creased.
"The worsted trust has by stock
manipulation" said Mr.. Murdock,

not over s15,000,000 original invest
ment S22,0O0,00 in dividends and has
built up besides an establishment

the attack on the democratic bill
with criticism of its effectiveness

sounded to roaring welcome for
the president as he entered the room
tonight. He had spent buss. after

arrived about the same time, also
was given a cordial greeting.

pointed out to the southerners the
advantage which their section would
derive from the enactment of the
agreement with Canada. but did not
neglect to recur to his main argument
FOR the pending bill on the broader
lines of general interest.
There was no questioning the sym
rathy of the majority of his auditors
with the presidents plea. FROM the
start every mention of the word re
ciprocity" was greeted with cheers
and the president at times had DIR
ficulty in proceeding. He voiced de-
