While the general expression of
opinion appeared to be that the pre-

win out in November, emphatic stress
was laid upon the Importance of con-
tlnulng the campaign of education
among the voters as to the method of
marking the ballot; of spreading
knowledge throughout the Common
wealth-for, Judge Kunkel and of the
necessity for personal campaigning by
means of letters and verbal appeal to
prominent people in different coun-
ties by the members of the bar.
John r. Geyer, of the Kunkel cam
paign committee, concluded the ses-
sion with a brief outline of the con-
ditions and with word or two about
the future plans of the committee.

however, was the Importance of keep
ing up the personal work and of wag
ing more fierceiy the personal battle
for the advancement of President
Judge kunkefs candidacy.

leCt on the Supreme bench of the
Commonwealth

/ for us to talk of his worth-of his
fearlCssness, his fitness, his honesty.
His fame is widespread throughout the

whom we must present these features
of his character and there are many
whom we must instruct how to express
themselves by the marking of their
ballot"
=. s. Bowman-"What we need is
personal effort to advance Judge Kun
kels campaign. His fitness. we do not
need to discuss. our duty is to spread
| by personal letter and by voice, this
knowledge among the people of the
Commonwealth"

pass upon the question of personal
property and personal rights. Shall
we regard him as a follower, or as
one who is sometime to pass upon
that which may pertain to the per-
sonal rights and the personal prop
erty of you and L? More stress should
be laid by the great press, of this
great State upon the Importance of
Judge Kunkels candidacy"
T.. Il. Wickersham-"Consi the
men we know in other counties of
the State--then write them personal
letters setting forth the merits of our
candidate.

Judge KunkcI would be the first and
the long step in the establishment of

prejudice. withou; cast"
T. X. Van Dy1<e-"There Is only one
reason why the resolution should not
pass-there is no one in Dauphin

cause of his ability as a Judge and n
lawyer and man"
G. III. Meyer, Lebanon-"Peoplea are
willing and eager to support Judge
