SPRING PRIMARIES WILL BE
HELD SATURDAY, APRIL IS.
No Local Officers Can BE Elected
This Year-About Candidates.

George d. Thorn, chief clerk in the
State Department, has compiled his
annual pamphlet of election infor-
nation for the present year. 1t 10
full OF valuable information, cover
ing the following matters:
The Febraury elections having
been abolished, the election business
pertains to the spring primaries and
the general election in November,
No county, city, borough or township
officers can be elected this year.
In the state at large there are to-
be elected 3S Presidential electors,
four Congressmen-at- an Audi
tor General and a State Treasurer.
In each Congressional district there
is TO be elected one representative in
Congress; in each odd numbered
Senatorial district, one State Senator.
and in each county or representative
district, members OF the State House
OF representatives. There can be
no other elections this year, unless a
vacancy should occur in the Supreme
or Superior court two months before
the ELECTION.
Because this is a Presidential year
the spring primaries will be held
early, so as to provide for the cleo
tion or delegates to the national con-
vention OF the parties. Saturday,
April 13, is the date for the pri-
maries. At these primaries delegates
and alternates to the national con-
Ventions will be elected in each Con-
gressional district.
With the April primaries but three
months away, the thoughts of the vo-
ters are turning toward the polls and
wondering who the candidates will
be.
C. Fred Wright, OF Susquehanna
county, will in all probability be a
candidate TO succeed himself as state
treasurer; Homer Greene, Homes
dale's famous author, poet and law
yer, will probably be candidate for
Congressman at large, and Congress-
man Ainey will be candidate to sue

TUNSTOLL TWINS
TALK OLD TIMES.
John and Stephen, Aged Eighty-nins
Each, Hold Family Reunion.

The Tunstall twins-John' and
Stephsn-lived their eighty-nine
years over again last Thursday
among a little party OF friends and
neighbors at the residence of John
w. Pellio, OF S22 Vine street. Mrs.
Pellio is a daughter of Stephen Tun-
stall, and, in honor of the anniver-
sary OF father and uncle, who are
the Oldest living twins in the coun-
try, she got up dinner at which sat
the remarkable twins, family mem
bers and the Pellios' neighbors.
The twins have always been 90
alike that Stephen used to sometimes
get mixed up, himself, and write
Johns name in the copybook at
school, and John would scribbls
down Stephens. When they were
babes their mother didn't dare let
them out OF sight even when they
were tucked away in the cradle un-
less she first tied a red ribbon around
the neck OF stephen SO that she
would know which from which.
From babehood to boyhood they
grew up, always in each others COM
pany, and when the time came they
married sisters, lived as neighbors,
attended the same church, and con-
tinue to so live to the end.
The twins were born in Peekskil,
n. Y, Jan. IA, 1928. They went to
school together and when old enough
they learned the moulder's trade.
Together they worked, and being of
one sympathy and feeling, it was not
strange that simultaneously they fell
in love with the daughters of Mrs.
James Lent, of Peekskill. stephen
married in 1914 and a year later
John was married. In 1855 they
came to Scranton and erected
foundry in North Scranton. There
they made chutes, plates and cast
ings. For ten years they ran the
foundry and then they moved to the
central city. For many years John
conducted a confectionery store on
Wyoming avenue on the site of the
Odd Fellows building, and Stephen
for years was the representative Of
the Singer Sewing Machine company.
When age began to creep upon them,
John went to live with his son, w. c.
Tunstall, of Quincy avenue, and
Stephen went to live with his daugh-
ters, Mrs. Pellio, Mrs. Ella Winton
and Miss Jennie Tunstall. Their
wives died years ago.-Scranton

Building a Railroad All BY Himself


Jetmore. Kan.-Rudolph Myers,
the man who is building a railroad
west from this city all by himself
has purchased more right OF way and
is pushing his grade westward.
Myers objective is Garden City, 54
miles southwest OF Jetmore. Already
he has graded more than four miles
OF the roadbed, most OF which re-
quired heavy cutting and filling. He
expects to build at least 10 miles the
coming year, most of the right Of
way being over level land. Myers
has never taken anybody into his
confidence since he began work on
the road. He has used only his
own money and his own labor, and
he appears to have all the money he
needs. He has never employed any
help, doing all the grading himself
with a four-mule team and a wheel
ed scraper The people hereabouts
are very curious, but Meyers has
never given them the slightest idea
of his plans. All he has ever said
is that he is grading a railroad to
Garden City.
Myers is so years old, a Kansan
born. He came to Jetmore four
years ago and about three years ago
began acquiring the right OF way for
his road, his first purchase being 80
acres, for which he paid $50 an acre.
There was one hill 80 feet in height
on this right of way, through which
Myers has cut. using the earth ex-
cavated to make a fill over a ravine
some 40 feet deep. For the re-
mainder of the distance there are
few hills or ravines.
