TARIFF IS WAGE EQUALIZER There are »«von columns across tht ballot that contain each of the .14 electors, except tlic seventh colum i, vhirh is blank, in which may be written the name of any elector not <>n the ballot regularly. Each column is headed by the name of the "arty, under which appears the name • i the Preside itial candidate. Th« Republican party leads, with tin* democratic. Prohibition, Socialist, Tn•lependence and Socialist Labor paries in the order named. For a straight party ticket the blocks for voting are placed to the left of he presidential electors columns. ITnier these columns appear the eleven groups of state and county candidates. There are candidates for judge of 'he ui perior court, representatives to 'digress, to the State Assembly, coun\v treasurer, prothonotary, county uiditor, register of wills. To vote a plit ticket will require a great many narks, and it will have to l»e done ery carefully. Voters will be surnrlsed when they unfold their ballots on election day. A voter certainly has a wide choice of candidates. In size the ballot Is 28 Inches lone ind 22 inches wide. It is one of the 'aigest ballots ever used. The part of the ballot containing the national ind state tickets is large enough, but with the addition of the county ticket t is a record breaker. ter a voter unfolds his ballot In a booth he will not have much room for anything else. He will have to be#careful how he doubles it back up or he will never get it Into an ordin»r" ballot box. A man that votes anything else but a straight party ticket must be very alert. MORE EVIDEHCES OF PROSPEflfTY Friday while Emery Qormont, son <»f James Gormont, of Covington Township, was hunting for squirrels hack of his father's farm in the woods, his dog drove a young wild cat half way up a large maple and while the eat kept his eye on the dog Emery took steady aim and fired. He shot the cat right through the head and it fell to the ground, where the dog had some fun with it, but it was beyond .showing light. James Gormont having business in town, Emery came along and of course expected to get the $4 bounty which the State pays on wildcats. He was informed by the Commissioners that the State appropriation for bounties of that kind had been exhausted. The lust "painter" as they used to bo ceiIIpiI, was supposed to have been killed by Joe Wilson or some other great hunter from Punxsutawney long years ago. It is likely the Punx'y l'amp hunters and those of Pitch Pine Hunting Camp will load themselves seme beautiful Friday and go boldly into those dark woods on Cold St re am, the Punx'y hunters with their gutting and skinning knives ahead, with the Pitch Pine hunters coming along bravely at a safe distance behind, and killing both these terrible "painters" and look bravely about for other man-eating animals to slew with their slewers. They are supposed to have been [driven into that section by the heavy fires on the mountains north. One also has been heard north of Frenchvllle in deep, thick woods the past ten days, or since the fires. Word comes from the mountains that two panthers, a male and a female, have been heard in the region Pig Trout Run, a mile or two from or in the violnty of where Cold Stream empties into Trout Run, says the Clearfield Public Spirit.
