Each'and every ono of the 19,000 idle coke ovens in the ConnellsvUle region is a Material Issue In this campaign. A Democratic vote is a vote to keep these ovens cold and smokeless; a Republican vote Is vote to flre them up again. The political sky is dark with fads and Isms, but to the coke workers and the people of the coke region generally theyare uninteresting. It's a fine thing to. save the nation and your neighbor by giving your time and means and votes to the promoters and the candidates of some Uplift Movement which has for its primary object th uplifting to office and the placing in political power of a combination of Pharisees and Hypocrites seeking self-aggrandizement, but when they ask that It be done at the expense of the voter's iirosperlty he very wisely and erly gives it pause.

The Connellsville News docs not bcem to approve mv courso in this campaign and once attempts to convict me of insincerity, but I will take- my case before tho voters of Kay otto county. In the ttrHt plare the Democratic party is not commuted to either local option or prohibition, and if you will recall tho words of Vice President Mai shall, uttered very recently, you will remember a ho sjys It is useless for tho friends of temperance to expect any favorable legislation at the hands of the present Democratic Congress for tho majority is against such legislation. I have the Progressive party, but in instances where we have 'ti deprived of a candidate I have usotl my best judgment in selecting a man for whom to vote. As to my at- tituuo on the temperance Question I will stiy if this question is put Kquurely before tho people, stripped of personal fneUntf and partisan rancor, my vote will always bo on the side temperance But must not bo inferred that boca-use a eoterie uou- -dcaUriflr and d'scradlted politicians of county have taken moans of ti-ying to delude the people I will be- a party to this fraud.

Probably the hardest blow the local Democratic machine has suffered. ia a petition that James O'Bonnell. one of the signers attacking- the right of tho registered voters of the First and Sixth wards to cast their ballot, lias prcented to the county commissioners.

O'Donncll asks that his name be stricken, off the petition, on flie fjround that it was obtained under falsa pretense. Tho nitrbec-McCinnis machine is having- hard sledding: in ConneUsvilJo. Tho attack upon tho reKlbtration of voters here has at no time been taken seriously. It has been shown, and It will bo proven before the county commissioners at 'the hearing here tomorrow at 10 that the men who havo registered have the right to vote. Because the men whose right to cast tho bailee has been attacked have engaged legal counsel personal newspaper organ, ol Hlgbce and McGinnlh has gone Into hysterics again.

Apparently the Higbee-McGinnis machine expected that tho voters under fire would sit quietly by and permit themselves to be euchred. O'Donnell, however, has knocked tho props from under the proposition right from the start. He has exposed the methods by which the grandstand attempt to "purge 1 the registry lists here wore made. According: to O'Donnell's petition, ho was approached by John Irwin, a federal jobholder under the Sterling regime, who represented" that a number of illegal voters had been discovered and left the impression that they resided, in the Second ward. Both Irwin and O'Donnell are Second ward rbsldents.

O'Dormell states that he did not see a list of the names of the voters whoso right to cast their ballot was q-uestloned. "Vtfhen the list waa published ho found that not a single one resided in his own ward, but that several who resided In tho First ward, and who were his pc-sonal friends, were included. O'EonneU declares in his petition that he knows these men to bo bona flde residents of the First ward. He urges that his name be stricken from the petition. Tho petition was certified to and signed by Ralph K.

Long, a business associate ot 1 Postmaster W. McGm- nis. The other signers were S. Cougffienour and John St. Kobinson, both of whom are active Democratic politicians, C.
