DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET Justice of the Supreme Court, C. La Rue Munson of Lycoming County. State Treasurer, George W. Kipp of Bradford County. Auditor General, J.

Wood Clark of Indiana County. A gentleman who has given the situation in the county careful thought presents the following figures as an estimate of the vote at next Tuesday's election. Jf you have wondered or guessed as to the result look over these figures; study them. See how Mr. Huff's chances for election brighten as the days go by.

Total vote, 8,000. Republican vote 4,500, divided as follows: Foor, 2 700; Bair, Huff, 300. Democratic vote, divided as follows: Huff, Bair and Gump, 700 Prohibition vote, all to Huff, 300. Total vote for each candidate: Foor, Huff, Bair and Gump 2,200. It is possible that Mr.

Bair may get a few hundred more votes from Mr. Foor than those given. We understand that the Republican committee concedes one-third of their vote to Bair while the Democratic committee believes that" twenty per cent of their vote is a very liberal estimate.

West Provi' dence. VOTE THE TICKET The Democratic ticket, both state -and county, is worthy of the support of every Democrat in Bedford Coun- See to it that you do your duty and vote it straight. The Democratic candidates for state offices are all men of character- and ability and they stand a chance of election over the ticket nominated by the Republican state machine, against the wishes and contrary to the desires of honest and intelligent Republicans. The election of Cyrus L. Munson to the Supreme Court pf the state will place an able and a worthy man upon the bench of that tribunal, and Hie election of the Democratic candidates for State Treasurer and Audi- for General will prevent a repetition of the grafting that was practiced in Connection with furnishing the capi- fol at Harrisburg.

Vote and work tor them. The Democratic county ticket contains the names of men who are qualified to fill the places they seek. John W. Huff, the Democratic candidate for Associate Judge, was fairly and -honestly nominated by the I'Qters of his party and he should Jiave the full party vote at the election next Tuesday. It is a foundation principle of Democracy that the majority shall rule.

The majority the Democrats having nominated him it is the duty of the to by him, and if this is done he will be elected Associate Judge, for ihe Prohibitionists will vote for him aad a number of tempeiance people of Republican faith will support him because they know exactly where he btands. His election is more than it the Deruowats support lum solidly it is sure Let Democrat do his dutj. Mr. Cessna has proved hmisc-lt to the occasion at the ilnis He in now familiar wuh the wen king oi that institution and can be of greatei service to the county curing his second term See to it that he it, i eturned Of course William Drenning will be elected Jury Commissioner But there should be no falling off in his vote. He, too, merits the support of the united Democracy.

Vote the ticket straight; make no mistake by taking chances on splitting. An in the square lollowing the Democrat vote the straight ticket. It makes little diffeience whether Halloween Pun Limited The Burgess gives the following orders to all Halloween parties: I have no objection to innocent fun, but the festivities must be held well in check and any pranks that are played must be of a nature that will cause no damage to property of any kind. The ringing of door bells or removing of gates, signs, doorsteps or wooden street crossings, or the throwing of stones, or anything on porches or against the doors of property holders to their annoyance, will not be tolerated. An example will be made of the first persons who are caught in this practice.

Sisson and Stober, With the Living Bosses and Effigy of Quay, Smile In Cynic Contempt of All Reform. The Independent Republican meeting at Plymouth on Thursday evening was both a surprise and an inspiration. It proved that in that section of the state, at least, the better element of the Republican party is quite as active and altogether as determined against the Penrose machine as they were four years ago, when Mr. Berry was triumphantly elected. The meeting was large and enthusiastic.

The speakers were in harmony with Gates-Stewart At noon on. Monday, October 25, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Preston Stewart (colored), East John Street their youngest daughter, Miss Alice was married to Reuben, Gates, Rev. S.

It was easily the most effective political demonstration in that section of the state this The speakers were Hon. H.

Berry, former, state treasurer, and Hon. Henry C. Niles, chairman of the Lincoln Party state committee. Mr. Berry said in part: "There can be no confusion as to the issues of the campaign.

No question as to the personal character of the candidates is raised. No question of political significance in the state or nation is involved. We are simply to consider the advisability of electing candidates selected by a thoroughly discredited leadership and thereby insuring their return to power in the state and opening the way for a return to the disgraceful conditions existing prior to 1905.

nominees of their party They are men of the highest character and ability, nominated by the free choice of their party and they deserve our support for these reasons Moreover, the best interests of the state demand that a strong and formidable opponent of the dominant political party be maintained in the state. Let it not 'be said that Democrats are apathetic or indifferent in this campaign. "Repuolicans who love political virtue more than party success can endorse the sentiment and will vote ac- cord'ngly unless they believe that their leaders are repentant and will repudiate their life-long records. That they were thoroughly scared by the election of a Democrat in 1905 is certain. The hasty call of the extra session of the legislature in 1906, the.

good work done by it and the selection of excellent candidates at the next election, leave no doubt of this. But recent events disclose the old spirit revived. The Quay statue is erected in a prominent niche in the capitol pursuant to the votes of both the present Republican candidates, Sisson and Stober. No protest or apology is of record from them They, with the living bosses and the marble image smile in cynic contempt of all reform. "Salter, the confessed traitor, who fled the country to escape conviction for notorious ballot box stuffing in Philadelphia, returned when the district attorney's office was manned by Norris S.

Barrett and Robert von Moschzlsker, when, according to Sen ator McNichol, jury was fixed and Salter acquitted. Barrett was nominated and elected judge by the machine that profited by Salter's crime. Von Moschzisker was presented by them to Governor Penaypacker for appointment to the bench soon afterward, but the governor declined to appoint him He was nominated, however, and elected to the bench by the gang at the succeeding election." Following is a summary of Mr. Niles" speech: state ticket that is this year labeled Republican is in no honest sense the ticket of the Republicans of Pennsylvania. "They are urging the Republicans who believe in honest government and pure politics to vote for their selection for the important offices of state treasurer, auditor general and justice of the supreme court.

"There is no moral, legal or political obligation so to do. "So long as the crime and fraud of one Philadelnhia ward is permitted to defeat the will of the honf-st anti-graft Republicans of whole counties of the state, the SUC TO ethcds are not entitled to our support. "Since the defeat of Plummer, in 1905, the have pretended to an unusual goodness. "They arc HOT- f-ired of even the ap pearance of reform.

Manning, formerly cashier of the First National Bank of Everett, has been elected cashier of the Hopewell National Bank- Rev. I. P. Patch of the Anti-Saloon League delivered a lecture on tem- nerance to a large audience in the Hopewell M.

E. Church 'Friday evening. Rev. Eslinger of Saxton also made an address. Robert Simon, who has been home for-a short visit, started westward today.

He expects-to return to Great Falls, Mont. In last week's issue of The Gazette we read an article on the license question entitled "A Voice From Juniata," in which the writer pretends to be an advocate oi prohibition and yet says he will support the ticket which advocates license. How much gain would the temperance sause (which is sweeping over our land) have experienced if all had reasoned as that writer? If we want to accomplish the overthrow of the rum traffic, which is piling up taxes for the county to pay in the way of supporting widows ajid children whose husbands have met their death through the rum business, we must stand together on election day. Let the voter and'taxpayer go over the list of accidental deaths in our county in the last few" years and see how the rum business figured in them. the people forgotten the death of Barney Farrell, who was frozen to death while in an intoxicated condition on February 2, 1907 with part of a bottle of whiskey lying in the snow beside him? Have they forgotten the 1 -number of men killed and their widows left to the charitv of the Directors of the Poor through the ruin -traffic? Let the taxpayers consider the expense of the recent murder trial in our county and the sxpense Of boarding the prisoner in the penitentiary.

The writer mentions the fact that in a few days after the hotel was destroyed a jug line was established. Perhaps there were a few jugs left over after the fire. There must be more modest drinkers in his section of the county than we have in our section or the stimulants are milder in character for they don't go to the back door or behind-the- stable to quench their thirst but are heard in all parts of town using profane language and disturbing the sick and the well. Don't be hoodwinked, Mr. Voter, by any such political advertising in the interests of the rum business.

Tne temperance people have been deceived before, but let us wake up to our own interests and elect a temperance Associate Judge. Hopewell Borough's share of revenue from the two licensed hotels is $120 and the expense of paying a policeman and boarding prisoners in the lockup was $144 15. Where is the economy in this? And yet we hear people talking about the revenue derived from license. We could dispense with policemen if license was cut out.
