From this point of vantage on the Roosevelt Highway  in  Bradford  County,   eight miles  south  of
Towanda, the motorist may view in one mighty sweep the site of the forgotten village of Azilum—
a projected Paris in the wilderness under construction hy loyal monarchist refugees as a haven for
Marie Antoinette in 1793 when her head fell under the. guillotine.

PRIMARIES aro really party elections,
and you can vote only for tlio nominees of the party in which you aro
registered. Undor presont law none but
a judicial candidate can bo included
on tho printed ballot for more than
ono party, which fact has caused a good
deal of trouble for candidates who formerly tried to got on as many party
ticlcots as possible; and in particular
it makes tho raco for county commissioner, tho most locally important this
vear, a rathor curious scramble, sinco
the law provides that only two of tho
throo commissioners can bo nominated
by tho party securing tho highest number of votes, tho third boing chosen by
tlio next highest party. So tho November election may result in choosing two
Republicans and a Democrat, two
Democrats and a Bepublican, or two
of cither of theso parties and ono
"Independent." 'rho lattor possibility
is tho reliance of Col. Charles 0.
MeGovern, who has declined to seek
cither of the major party nominations,
and whom most of thoso in this Valley
wo believe would like to see reelected
in. Novombor.
Leading aspirants for tho Republican
nominations are Malone, Topley and
Coyne; of these, Mr. Topley alono is
from outsido the city of Pittsburgh,
and with his good record in office will
make a special appeal to non-city
voters—and he'll need all tho votes ho
can get in the boroughs and townships
to offset tho probable heavy city vote
for his opponents; indeed, many of his
adherents think it advisablo to
"plump" for him, voting for him
alone instead of for two candidates.
Of tho othors, Mr. Malono has been a
good man in -Pittsburgh's city council;
Senator Ooyno points to his record in
fighting Democratic policies in the
recent legislature, which may get him
votes oven from those who do not
approve of somo of his affiliations or
machine methods. Heinz, Houlahen,
Kano and Rankin are the Democratic
aspirants considered to have chances
of success. Their respoctivo claims for
consideration havo boon quito bitterly
set forth in thc Pittsburgh papers, and
need not be considered hero.
Many of tho other judicial and
county offices, and especially the question of having Pennsylvania's constitution revised, aro woll worth careful
thought and intelligent voting, as well
as the places to bo filled in the several
local boroughs. It's well worth the
while of every citizen to inform himself, and then, abovo all, to vote next
Tuesday. In such an election, every
vote is important. Voto as you please
—but vote.
