Frank H. WEST SIDE NEWS. Notes, Personals and Observations of Local Interest. LOCAL POLITICS ARE WARMING UP Saturday's Primaries Attracting Attention Councilmanic Candidates Are Hustling. winter primary election takes place next Saturday, and the day is favored with pleasant weather conditions it is more than likely that a large vote will be polled.

the big delegate fights never been experienced during past few county campaigns hardly' aroused for choosing borough can candidates this more interest than primary year. This unusual interest has been brought out by the councilmanic contest, there candidates for the three vacancies. The terms of the following councilmen expire this year: George Stroh, of the Third district; Fred. Saxe, of the Fifth district; and John Scrimgeour, of (Ne Seventh district. Mr.

Saxe is the only one seeking re-election; he having been elected last year for only one year, to All a vacancy. The candidates in the feld are Michael Dorsh, of the Second district; Fred Saxe, of the district; Grier La Barre and Arch the Seventh district: J. D. Delahunty the Eighth district; Thomas and L. D.

Farker, of the Ninth district. The councilmen are voted for at large throughout the borough, the Town council consisting of only seven members, and there being nine voting precincts in the town. The districts that have been unrepresented on the council during the. past three years are the Eighth and Ninth. For the past week the political pot has been bubbling until it has almost reached the point of boiling over.

Every one of the councilmanic candidates is making a thorough and each is confident he will be among the three winners. Several attempts at slate making have been made, but it has proven hard to effect a councilmanic combination that will be satisfactory in every ward. A "caucus" was held in an Exeter borough saloon a few evenings ago by parties, the who Ninth believe district they carry around the in their vest pocket, and settled on It is more than likely the as the voters of that district work of this caucus will go for nauentl making. telligent enough to do their own tions of two, and instances the various districts, combinathree, candidates have been agreed and efforts will be made licit votes along that line, but almost every district has diefrent combination. Every candidate is certain to have some friends in every ward.

so that even two-candidate slates may have uphill work. Through all this chaotic state of affairs, however, a friendly feeling prevails, and there is little or no mud slinging being indulged in. Although there is no salattached to the office of councilman, the rivalry aroused by the campaign has resulted in money having been placed by many of the candidates for the employment of workers to look after their interests the various wards. The picking of winners is a problem for even the most! prophetic politicians of the town, though there seems to be prevailing impression that Delahunty an.I Saxe will run high, and that the third place rests between the remaining five, with Dorsh, La Barre and Thomas making a hard There are also contests for the office of school director, and overseer of the poor, but in the warm fight for council these other contests are almost overlooked. For school director, J.

W. Wheeler, of the Eighth district, and Tallie Evans, of the Ninth district, are candidates to succeed themselves, and P. H. Repp, of the second district, is also a candidate for one of the piaces. This contest, however, seems to be a go-asyou please, and is in the hands of the electorate.

For overseer of the poor, Joseph Klotz is a candidate for re-election, and Harry Warner is also candidate for the office. Both candidates reside in Third district. The primaries will be held at the usual polling places next Saturday, between the hours of 2 and 8 p. m. Buy the Pony Stocking, B.

Smith 6 'S. Main Pittston. LETTER ON THE POOR DIRECTORSHIP (Communication.) Editor Gazette: As I am a candidate for re-election to the office overseer of the poor in the borough of west Pittston, subject to the decision of the Republican voters at the primaries next Saturday, I- desire to present a few facts for the attention ur thougnttul taxpayers. 1 have the time to attend to the business of the office and I do attend to it. Some time in 1907, Mr.

Berlew asked me for the appointment of treasurer of the poor board, but could not conscientiously do so, as Mr. Bennett had given perrect satisfaction as treasurer. Then Mr. Harry Warner was placed field to opfor cliche Mr. Warner is a mechanic who draws big wages as a pattern maker, and surely he nasn the time to attend to it.

have all the spare time necessary and do attend to it. You will have any trouble or law suns uuring my administration. The office first. Now a word to the taxpayers. Let me mention a recent case that required the attention of the poor 11- rectors.

Three weeks ago, I was notist' by' the two Jusuces of the peace of the borough that application had been made to them for all inquiry as to the sanity of a young woman. who was then living in West Pittston. There was no aoubt as to the mental condition of the patient, but before issuing an order tor her removal LO an asylum, I thoroughly investigate. the case. learned that she had been living in Scranton tor eignteen months, and had therefore lost her ucie as a resident or West Pitiston.

We therefore notified Scranton poor district that they would have to take care of this case, and wey uid so mediately. Tnis case will cost the Scranton poor board about $100 EL year, and a little timely investigating by man who had time" saved the borough of West Pittston that amount. Could or would Harry Warner, a man who works every day, lose two days' thine invesugating. case like this? have the time to look after the work of the office and I do so. For more than half a century have been a resident and propertyowner in West Pittston.
