These are just a few of the blood
warming yells that track enthusi-

crowded pennant-waving STANDS on
Municipal Field, Island Park, on Sat-
urday afternoon when the eighth an

will be held.
No More the Tango
Throughout the high schools of this
section oil the State algebraic difficult
les biological botherings, that horrid
Greek, anu even the perfectly adorable
tango, are no longer the big topics of
conversation in the academic halls.
Interest of every boy--and, yes, OF
every girls centered on one ques-

harrisburg?
Four schools, Central, Tech, Steel
ton and Reading, are the big factors

Harrisburg track athletic committee
last night 1t was decided to let the

for the shield. If Central or Steelton
|win, it can be seen either one of these
schools will be tie with Reading, since
that school has already won the tro-

this years meet 1t will not get the
trophy as its permanent property. The
rule passed last night touching on this
point is as follows:
This being the seventh annual and
final contest for the trophy, in case of
tie among the high schools, the con-
testants having the highest number of
points in the meet May 16, 1914, will
become permanent possessors thereof
In May, 1915. A cup has been pre-
cented by Dieges q Clust, of New

and valuable trophy will be offered in
1915."

JUDGE GEO. KUNKEL.
Best Qualified Man in Race For
Supreme Judgeship, He
Believes
KNOWN HIM FOR YEAR
Splendid Record on the Dauphin
County Bench Fits Him For
Higher Courts
KNOWN HIM FOR YEARS

State Treasurer Robert Is. Young
announced to-day that he favors the
nomination of Judge George Kunkel
for the State Supreme Court bench.
Mr.. Young who was elected in 1912 on
the Republican and Washington party
tickets. has had a wide experience in
State affairs. He has had a wide ex-
perience in State affairs and served
with Judge Kunkel in the Legislature.
He bases his declaration in favor of
the Kunkel candidacy on his long ac-
quaintance with the judge and because
OF his splendid record on the Dauph1n
county bench.
State Treasurer Young's statement
follows:
There are five candidates whom |
know for the office of Justice OF the
Supreme Court of this State, and the
character of the men aspiring would
seem to Justify the wisdom of non
! partisan judiciary elections. So far
as have information about the candi-
dates. any one of them would grace the
bench. Personally. l shall support

Kunkel for many years, he and l
having served together as members
of the legislative session of 1897. l
recognized his ability at that time
and have watched his career since
with great satisfaction. The Dauphin
County Court is treadmill for work.
| This not only grows out of the TACT
of the normal volume of judicial work
| incident to a county with the popu-
lation and business interests of Dau-
phin county, but is greatly augmented
| by the fact that nearly all litigation IN
which the State is concerned is ini-
tiated in the Dauphin County Court.
The manner in which he presided in
the Capitol furnishing cases gave him
a reputation for ability and impair
Itiality state wide, and the record of
iaffirmations to his opinions by the APP
pellate Courts must be very gratify-
ing to himself and friends. Judge Kun
kel had very strenuous opposition to
his first election to the Common Pleas
bench, and the fact is noteworthy
that when he became a candidate for
reelection there was no opposition. |

WHAT LINCOLN SAID.

Scaling sleeps leg tail" said
Pres d nj Lincoln, "does not make il a
tai" Docs calling the Republican a
climber paper" make it a timber
parer? Would it not lie we'll enough
10 ask the Tribune and the court house
ring to give a little proof? What has
the Republican said that indicates that
timber companies own the paper?
What does the editor advocate that
would be worth penny to the timber
companies? The Republican demands
that the people themselves name and
elect their county officers, men who
will stand by the people but who will
cut out the graft. Does this prove that
the Republican is timber paper? TIE
Tribune, that claims to be fighting
timber companies, wants to continue
in power a ring that wastes county
funds and favors the biggest timber
company in the county. Talk is cheap.
Judge the court house ring by what it
does, rather than what it says,
and it is easy to see who, if any,
is standing in with the timber compan-
les. The Republican is not defending
county officials, under the guise of re-
form, who assessed one timber COM
pany $l4 an acre on green timber and
land, and another timber company
over 500 an acre for same class OF
property.

NOT "WINDY'S" FIGHT.

The farmer who said: "This is not
your (Orcutt's) fight, this Clearwater
county political row, but ours; the Re-
publican is only washing the dirty
linen OF us people who permitted this
ring to get elected, us voters who put
them into office" hit the nail on the
head. If you want to know whose
fight this is just look in the glass.
However the editor of the Republican
is willing to accept its share of the bur-
den, and is doing all it can to assist the
good citizens Of the county in cleaning
up things. But when you hear some
body say that it is "Orcutt's fight" or
the ''Republican's scrap" deny it. It
is not. 1t is either the peoples fight
for decent government; taxpayers
protest against graft, incompetency and
extravaganza, or it is nothing. If the
people had not already shown by their
support, encouragement and attitude
that they feel that it is their business,
and that they appreciate the fact that
the Republican is making an effective
fight against intollerable conditions,
let us state emphatically that SO far as
the present editor OF the Republican is
concerned we would quit right now.
II those termed by the Republican,
''the court house ring" and this will
include their newspaper, can, by petit
ton or other means, show that the pee
pie are satisfied with local political cor
ditions, and are not backing the Re-
publican, and not going to approve OF
this protest at the polls next election,
the present editor Of the Republican
will pack up his trunk and move out
OF Clearwater county never to return.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-05-01
LET THE PEOPLE DO 1T.

If the Clearwater Republican were
timber paper; if P. l.. circuit were, as
the court house ring insists, a tool Of
the timber interests, the one thing he
would not demand, and the one thing
the Republican would not advocate and
insist on, would be that the people, the
farmers over the country, the work.
ingmen in the county, the taxpayers
who cast the votes and have the pow
err to elect their officials, name men
for county offices who are known to
the people to be honest and square;
men for county commissioners who
are not timber tools, and a man for as
SCISSOR who will assess timber
company holdings for all they should
be assessed. The people are certainly
competent to do this, and the Republi-
can insists that the people do it. The
Republican proposes to help the farm
ers elect such county officials as the
people themselves select, and will
oppose the nomination or election of
any candidate, regardless of politics,
who does not pledge himself to stand
for honest, fair assessment of properly,
and an honest expenditure Of taxes
after the money has been collected.
What is the use Of bowling about hon.
est officials and damning timber COM
panies just to get into office and then
robbing the taxpayers out of Is Of the
money buying bridge plans, paying
two prices for road culverts, and print
ing gratis? The Republican believes
that an economical board could, by
running the county for the people in
stead of for the benefit of ring, save
the people from 10000 to $25, 600
year. And this without impairing in
any way legitimate improvements.
Think what could be saved on road
culvert, and county printing, and
about every thing else the county buys.
The Republican is demanding that
the people run the county for the peo-
pie and that graft and extravaganza be
stopped.
