OCTOBER 27, 1906. 8 CANDIDATES OFFERED THE PEOPLE OF LUZERNE THIS YEAR These Men Can Be Depended On to Do Their Duty Without Dictation From Any Boss or Gang Leader. "The strongest ticket ever placed Zore the voters of Luzerne county." That 1s' the one opinion prevailing among the best political judges as regards the Democratic candidates, both county and legislative. And judging from the grand accorded the nominees when the various reception, parts and intermingle with people of all classes this idea of the excellance of the Democratic standard bearers has spread broadcast.

the head of the ticket is John T. Lenahan, the candidate for Congress. recognized as the leading Universally, the Luzerne bar, brilliant as an orator, brainy A8 an advocate, lightning-like in perceiving the hidden motives of men, always a champion of what is right, just and proper, John T. Lenahan would bring credit and fame to this large county and historic valley. The Democrats ought to feel happy that they have such man around whom to rally for the position at Wash- Ington.

Mulhall a Good Man. There is no more important office a county than that of district attorney. In some respects even the judiciary second to that of the public prosecutor. Therefore it 18 particularly gratifying to a large number of voters, Democrat1c and Republican, to have the privilege of voting for a man of the M. Mulhall calibre.

He has served three years in the office as assistant and the experience as well as the ability and character to insure the people successful, clean and honest administration. Henry Walser measures up to the standard Luzerne county always set for a prothonotary. This office transacts more business than any other In the court house and it is necessary that the holder should be a careful business man, a systematic executive and familiar with legal documents. Henry Walser answers all these requirement. He: is a business man Hazleton and has been tried by the people of that city as an official and not found wanting.

serious is the troubles which have arisen between the United States and Japan, because of the resentment felt by Japan over the discrimination against Japanese children in the schools of San Francisco, regarded in England that the matter will be made the subject of inquiry in parliament on Monday. Fears are entertained that England might be involved if war should break out between the two countries, under the terms of the Anglo- Japanese treaty. The Inquiry to be directed at the government will be directed to this point. The British foreign secretary will be asked to inform Parliament if there 1s any provision in the Anglo-Japanese treaty which safeguards British dominions from being involved in the event of an armed controversy between Japan and the United States. CUSTOM- -HOUSE RAIDED.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Roosevelt to-day granted a reprieve until December 15 to Arthur Adams and Robert Sawyer, negroes, under sentence to be hanged in North Carolina on November 1, on a charge of murdering the officers of the ship Berwin, on the high seas.

WILL OPEN MINE ON THE WEST SIDE Forty Acres of Coal to Be Opened. BROKER DUNN HEADS THE COMPANY come before a law-making body, great portion of his district being an agricultural country and as this candidate is in touch with the needs of the farmers it is needless to say that every man of the soil will be out hustling for the Democratic aspirant on 6. Toner Friend of Labor. With the nominations of the Democrats, Lincolnites, Prohibitionists and Union Workmen, there should be no question as to the election of William Toner, of Plymouth township, to the legislature from the Fifth district. Mr.

Toner has been a resident of Plymouth and Plymouth township for many years past and during that time has won the esteem of all classes by his honesty, integrity and lofty citizenship. Mr. Toner deserves well at the hands of the laboring class. He has always been an advocate of those things which tend to improve conditions of employees and it is not strange that the laboring class have endorsed his candidacy enthusiastically. He is well fitted for the duties of the place and would be heard from in the legislature.

In John B. Corgan, the Democrats of the Sixth district have an excellent candidate. He is the very acme of honesty and sincerity and every vote for Emery in the old Second district should also be cast for Mr. Corgan, In speaking of his candidacy the Industrial Advocate of Pittston, says in part: "Mr. Corgan is noted for his great of personal devotion in the performance duty; always sincere and conscientious in all his undertakings.

He is a useful citizen, and when elected will be an incorruptible public servant, whose character will never be assailed with even the suspicion of personal dishonor. "At the meeting of the Pittston Central Labor Union, held on Thursday evening, Oct. 11, Mr. Corgan 1 was given the unanimous endorsement of that body the member of which recommend him to the support of all unionists in his district." Bedford and Slattery, At this writing, ten days before election, it looks as if it is but a question of majority with Paul Bedford and Frank P. Slattery, the Democratic candidates for representatives in the Seventh district (city of Wilkes- Barre.) For a party to put up two candidates who stand so well among people of all classes, parties and creeds 1s quite noteworthy, and that they will triumph seems assured.

Mr. Bedford has always stood for everything that would in any way prove beneficial to the city of his birth and is almost unnecessary to say that elected he will represent the tie people as they should be represented. The candidacy of Frank P. Slattery also appeals to those who want a live and active Representative in Harrisburg. Mr.

Slattery 18 an eloquent speaker has a good mind and if sent to the legislature would undoubtedly look after the wants of his constituents in a faithful and conscientious manner. A vote for Bedford and Slattery 1s a vote to uphold the policies being advocated by Lewis Emery and other reformers, who desire the state delivered from the Penrose-Andrews gang of corruptionists. ABANDONED AT SEA. Steamer -Grange on Fire, Left to Her Fate. (By Cable.) CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Oct.

Spohn, years, a flour and feed dealer, went into the yard of his home this forenoon blew, out his brains. He had been in ill health for some time and his last words before he took his life were: 1 can't stand it no longer." SLOPE HAS BEEN SUNK AND THE BREAKER IS NOW ING ERECTED.

Forty acres of coal has been purchased at Larksville, a breaker is in the course of erection, a slope has been sunk and in the course of a month a local company, comprised of well known young men about town, will place anthracite coal on the market. Thomas A. Dunn, the well known and successful broker and promoter, has charge of this enterprise, and with him at the head there is no doubt about the success of this undertaking. Several veins of coal have been discovered and all are considered easy to mine. It is clean and is the very best of anthracite, According to the information given to a LEADER representative the ground was purchased outright several months ago, and drillers were at once secured to the test height and length of the veins and It is pleasing to nounce that coal was found in paying quantities.

A slope was sunk at once. the interior of the mine was opened and the company is almost ready to mine coal. The delay is due to the fact that the breaker is not yet completed, though the contractor expects to have It in shape for operation before November 16. It is the opinion of the promoters that about two hundred tons a day can be mined 1 nthe start, and it is the plan to Increase the output until it reached the output of the average colliery in this section. Mr.

Dunn has branched out in many lines, but the latest, that of coal operator, will be as successful as the others. BANKER WAS ARRESTED. CHICAGO, Oct. T. Hoag, 72 years old and until a few days ago the assistant cashier of the Aetna Banking and Trust Company of Washington, D.
