Yet it seemed certain, after the complete disappearance of the famous bride and groom following their secret wedding at the New Jersey estate of the Morrows, that they had boarded this craft for a honeymoon cruise.

Nothing of a constructive character can be accomplished by the minority Why then should Luzerne County a Republican County be represented by a member of the minority party?

Casey. If It Is within your power, I wish you would have the suggested movement abandoned.

Of course, I am not unmindful of the fine spirit that has actuated leaders of labor In this matter. It Btntna OutUrd fruit nd tutrt ferlok. BULK SPECIAL The Republican President looks to Republicans for results, never to Democrats. Luzerne County should support the President. Luzerne County should not try to weaken the President by sending to Congress a Democrat.
