ROBERT HABGOOD
NOW ACANDDATE
Former Legislator and Brad
ford Editor Seeks Republican
Illumination For Governor

Former Representative Robert P.
Habgood, of Bradford, Mexican
county. to-day formally announced
himself as a candidate for Governor
at the Republican primaries in May
In his note to the newspapers he de-
cries factionalism and expresses the
belief that the party should nominate
this year a man free from factional
or personal influences or entangl-
ments. Habgood served two terms
in the House, several years as presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania State
League of Republican Clubs and was
in 1908 a delegate-atlarge from
Pennsylvania to the national conven-
ton.
With regard to the prohibition and
suffrage issues Mr.. Habgood says:
Consistent with my unswerving
open and constant approval during
the past twelve years, OF nation
wide basis, L am ready for and favor
the national amendments for prohi-
bition and womans suffrage, and my
newspaper, the Bradford Evening
Star and Record will support local
candidates in Mexican county at the
primaries favorIng those amendments.
The next Governor, however, will not
have an opportunity to approve or
veto any action thereon taken by the
coming session of the General Assem-
bly,, therefore the result then must be
decided by the nomination and cleo
ton of Members and Senators this
year.
The Republicans upstate year in
and year out, have voted and worked
for candidates residing or selected in
Philadelphia and Allegheny counties,
and more than once have thereby
saved those candidates from defeat,
and now my candidacy will enable all
Republicans, both upstate and in
the dominant cities. to vote for and
support candidate not a resident
Of, nor selected in, nor by Philadel-
phia or Allegheny counties.

In the present offensive against the Huns. Robert Campbell. captain of a Machine Gun company of the Cana dian army, formerly of New Britain, lost his life. For 27 months he parti- clpated in the big battles with the AlhcS, missing only one of the big arrangements in all that period. He went to his death, however, after hay Ing won one of the most important of the war service honors.

 Born in Canada it. was quite natural that hts duty 10 his mother country appealed, especially when he read the casualty lists and saw the names of bOyhOOd companions who were saCri- ficing their blood on foreign soil It was while he was working at ' Orkers, N. Y. that he enlisted. He was se- Iectcd to go to an officers training school and he won commission as q lieutenant.
 While fighting the Huns he always displayed that courage and devotion that prompted him to enlist His let ters to relatives breathcd of his pa trlOtc devotion. In a letter to his sister. Mrs Lee Roberts who was then living in Bristol but who is now at Woodstock, Me. he wrote that it was every young mans duty to be in the war.
 Frequently. as those he led into action were carried off the field on StfetCherS, some never to return he thought of his good fortune in escap- ing the bullets from the enemy. He sometimes spoke of it in letters and in d recent one he told of expecting to return home safely. He was pre- pared however to make the supreme sacrifice, as he had enumerated d. lst Of friends whom he wished to have notified in the event of his being killed. Among them was MT Chur- chill and a letter announcing the death of the gallant captain has just been received.
 MT. Churchill said this morning that Captain Campbell was d model type of fine young manhood. His cx- ample was an inspiration for his fellow workmen ad for those with whom he associated. He was highly esteemed in Y. M. C. A. circles.

GIVES BAD CHECKS;
 IS BOUND OVER
NiedZWeCBi Case Tried in Police
 Court This Morning.

After the trial of the adjourned case of Stanley Niedzwecki, charged with giving checks when he did not have tho funds in the bank with which to meet tho amount called for and the intention of committing fraud, Judge John II. Kirkham today bound the accused over to the Sep tember term of the superior court under bonds of $1.0o0, which were furnished.
 It was alleged that on July 3t, NiedzWecIli gave a check for $500 in favor of the Philip Harris Co.,, of Hartford in payment on account ard when the check was presented at the New Britain Trust Co.,. on which it. was drawn, there was only $443 cents to meet if.

 got payment of $500 Gross took an order for 25 barrels of four and sub stitutes, all to the value of $375. He identified the check given him. The check was deposited and came back protested few days later.
 On cross examination the witness said that he was positive that Niedz- wecl1i had not told him that he did r1n meet the check but would collect bills to meet it, He also said that in the six months prior to July 31, he has not had any trouble over Niedzwecl1i's checks. Counsel for the defense brought out that the Harris Co. had issued a replevin writ to recover the stock sold. This stock was claim ed by Joseph Nedzwecki and was not the stock the witness had sold. Efforts to to locate the stock sold were unsuc- cessful. The witness said that If he was going to bring an action for the recovery of the bill due 1t would have to be for a sum of about $1,200.
 Treasurer Raymond R. Healey of the New Britain Trust O. said the check in question was drawn on the New Britain Trust Go. On July S1, the accused had balance of S244.43 and check for $40 was cashed leaving only $4.43. When the check for $500 was presented 1t was protest ed.
