[Continued From First Page.J

Mr.. Stroup. but had been counted out.
and saying that but for the fact he
would have been soaked" another
thousand dollars in costs he would
have appealed to the higher courts
the decision of the Dauphin County
Court. which ruled that Stroup and
rot Kunkel had been elected.
This charge that he was elected
and counted out does not reflect on
me-" said Mr.. Stroup. when Mr..
kunkel saws he was elected. but
robbed of the Office. he reflects on the
integrity of the Dauphin County Court.
10 which he appealed his case, but
which decided against him. And when
he asserts he would have appealed the
case higher except that he would have
been soaked another thousand dol
lars in costs, he confesses that the
higher court would have sustained the
lower court and would have ruled
him out. Kunkel casts no reflection
on me. but he does reflect seriously on
the Dauphin County Court, which you
men know is above suspicion"
Tunis and Pass
Charles f. Pass, one of Mr.. Tunis
strongest supporters at the polls,
spoke during the early part of the

the whole ticket this Fall in prepa-
ration for the great national contest

not voted for all the candidates nomi-
mated in September. like a good Re-
publican he had fought his differences
out at the polls and stood ready to
abide by the results. He was especially
happy to note. he said, the high Caliber
Of the men on the ticket and that il
vas so placed that city and county
alike get fair share of the offices to
be filled.
Mr.. Tunis' address was filed with
ginger from start to finish. He said
while defeated, he was grateful to his
friends who stood by him in such
numbers that he had carried his home
town, and since he had to be beaten
he was glad it was at the hands of
such clean-cut. honest. loyal Repub-
hcan as James E. Lentz. Lentz, he
said. had put up the same clear-cut
aboVe-board kind of fight he himself
had made, and he urged all Repub-
licans to support him. Mr.. Tunis said
while he and old friends had been
temporarily separated by the primary
contests. their personal friendships
exists on either side.
There can be no question as to nv
party loyalty" he told his hearers.
Had / been nominated I would have
expected the support of my opponent,
Mr.. Lentz, and like good Repub-
lican I expect to do whatever I can
for his election and that of the whole
ticket" Mr.. Tunis was heartily ap-
plauded during and at the conclusion
of his talk.
