The Daily Republican from Monongahela, Pennsylvania • Page 1

ILY Entered May 22nd, at Monongahela, as Second Class Matter, Under the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. MONONGAHELA, THURSDAY. JUNE 10, 1915 SIXTY-NINTH YEAR NO. 16 ONE CEV Known Well DAIRYMEN SECURE PARTIAL TO IHE REPUBLICAN VOTERS Boy Escaped Endorse President's Efforts Jo Preserve Peace RATE INCREASE COW WASHINGTON Serious Injury By Automobile OF Gentlemen; Appreciating the complimentary vote that I received at the primaries two years ago, I have decided to again be a candidate for nomination for the office of Director of the Poor, of Washington county, on the Republican ticket at the primaries to be held on Tuesday September 21st, 1915. Your vote and support are earnestly solicited on exactly the same political platform as before.

I have always been a straight epub-lican and never was affiliated with any other political party at any time. I am in favor of employing union labor and the patronizing of Washington county industries, that is, in the purchasing of furniture, clothing, dry goods, groceries and produce for the use of our county institutions, as we ive all of them in Washington county, and they are all just as good, if not better than we could buy any where in the United States, (If the poor institutions of Washington county are solely for the use of the Washington county why go outside of the county to furnish them?) Please keep in mind the fact that the laboring man has a direct interest in the candidate for this office.

In the time intervening between now and August 1, both railroads and milk men will summarize their cases for presentation again.

The railroads will be allowed 10 days in which to get their testimony together to show sufficient cause why the rate on shipped milk should be raised. When they have done this, the dairymen will be given 15 days to summarize their case to show why the increase in rate should not be made.
