Homer Greene for Delegate.

Homer Greene, the well known
Lawyer-Poet OF Honesdale, and one
of the men mentioned prominently
for Congressman at large on the Re-
publican ticket, has announced his
candidacy for delegate to the Repub-
liCan National convention. This Will
be pleasing news to the Republican
voters of this district who for some
time have been anxious to give Mr.
Greene some recognition for the work
he has done for the party during the
last twenty-five years.
Mr.. Greene is undoubtedly one of
the most popular men in the district
and the announcement of his candi-
dacy has met with popular approval.
In his announcement he does not take
a decided stand, asking the voters to
trust to his judgment TO do what is
best for the party, and from the ex-
pressions heard they will be perfectly
"lIllnS 10 aCCede to his wishes and al
low him to go to the conI ention un-
hampered by any pledges that would
handicap him in his efforts to what
would tend the best Tor Republican
success in the ensuing election. Mr..
Greene's standing is such tnat he
should be taken at his word and sent
to represent, this, one of the most
important districts in the State. If
all the districts were to send men of
the intelligence and standing of Mr..
Greene there would be no danger bat

right thing and name a ticket that
would sweep the country next Novem

A KICKER
Roosevelt's Candidacy.

Roosevelt has become an arrant,
even a dangerous demagogue. His
speech at Columbus, made as a fore
runner of his candidacy, was a vici-
Gus, high-handed attack on institu-
tions and forms of government that
have made this nation what it is to-
day. Many of it's doctrines went
far beyond the radicalism of the ex-
tremists of that wild-eyed school
and astounded those who had class
ed Roosevelt as sane in his political
views. Even Bryan, father OF more
political fallacies than any man
alive, found Roosevelt going far be-
yond him, and can fairly count him
self conservative compared with
this new apostle of unrest. That
Columbus speech, a TRADE against
the Constitution, holding up to ridi-
cule the Supreme Court of the land,
proved Roosevelt is no longer a Re-
publican. He has read himself out
OF the party and the strong men of
the party will rejoice at it. They
know now where Roosevelt stands,
know what manner of man he is,
know that he cannot be trusted.
Rooseyelt's announcement will add TO
the strength of laft.-Baltimor

ZEMO MAKES ASTONISHING
ECZEMA CURES.
"We Prove IT,

Every day ZEMO gives relief and
cures men, women and children in
every city and town in America whose
skins are on fire with torturing

ZEMO and ZEMO (ANTISEPTIC)
SOAP, two refined preparations will
give you such quick relief that you

We give you three reasons why we
recommend and endorse ZEMO and
ZEMO SOAP for all skin and scalp

1st. They are clean, scientific prep
arations that give universal satisfac-
tion and are pleasant and agreeable
to use at all times.
End. They are not experiments,
but are proven cures for every form
of skin or scalp affections whether
on infants or grown persons.
3rd. They WORK on a new princi-
pie. They do not glaze over the sur
face, but they penetrate to the seat of
the trouble and draw the germ life
from underneath the skin and destroy
it. In this way a complete cure is
erected in any case of SKIN OR
