Brief Sketches of Republican Candidates.
Let every one entitled to vote
go to the polls Tuesday, November
6th, and cast'his ballot either for or
against a continuance of the unprecedented prosperity which'has
existed throughout the United
States for the past'seven years
under Republican administration.
Senator P. G. Knox tersely
remarked: "The Republican party
has cleaned house, why should it
move out? Why should it be turned-
over to a Democratic or Fusion
organization which makes denunciation of Roosevelt, the leading plank
in its State platform?"
One of the candidates to be
voted for is our fellow townsman,
Robert J. Gunningham, who has
been honored with the Republican
and Gitizens' nomination for State
Senator. Mr. Gunningham is an
Independ-ent Republican and has
a record of three years' service as
Controller of Allegheny county
that redounds to his credit and the
credit of the Sewickley Valley,
where he has resided for more
than thirty-five years. For many
years he served faithfully in Gouncil
the residents of our borough and
was a fearless and outspoken advocate for all the measures introduced for the advancement of this
community. It would be well-,
merited praise for Mr. Gunningham
to receive a unanimous vote from
the voters of the Valley, thus
expressing the appreciation of the
public service he has rendered and
the confidence that is reposed in
him.
Mr. W. H. Graham, who has so
ably represented the Twenty-ninth
District in Gongress, two terms, is
Robert J. Cunningham,
Republican-Gandidate for State Senator.   Election November 6.
a candidate for re-election, without
opposition.
At no previous session of the
Legislature, in so short a time, has
there been as much beneficial
legislation enacted as was done at
the special session last January.
The present representatives of this
district, Messrs. James M.Esler, of
Tarentum, and H. I. Riley, Esq., of
Millvale, were part of that body
and worked and voted for all the
reform measures that were introduced and passed. Their work
shows that they were diligent
and attentive to the duties of a
legislator and justly entitled to the
support and confidence of the voters
of this district for another term.
Mr. Addison G. Gumbert, the
candidate for sheriff, is well qualified to fill with satisfaction that
office. For almost twenty years
he has been connected with the
Gourts of Gommon Pleas, having
served as chief clerk in No. 1
court for ten years, consequently is well versed in the intricate work of the courts and sheriff's
office, and well qualified to serve
the best interests of the taxpayers.
In every sense of the word he is a
self-made man, having started as a
messenger  in the  prothonotary's
office and by perseverance, honesty
and courtesy is now a candidate
for the chief executive position of
Allegheny county.
Mr. H. L. Goehring, candidate for
district attorney, is a graduate' of
Princeton University and has been
practicing law at the Allegheny
county courts for seventeen years.
From 1890 to 1893 he was assistant to District Attorney Glarence
Burleigh, one of the most successful prosecuting attornies Allegheny
county ever had. He is thoroughly familiar with the duties of-the
district attorney's office. His large
private practice has been mainly in
the criminal courts, having prosecuted or defended in most of the
important cases the past ten years!
Mr. Goehring has promised, if
elected, to administer the duties' pi
the office with diligence and with a
view of inaugurating reforms that
are so necessary to a successful
conduct of affairs in the district
attorney's office.
From Mr. Edwin Stewart, candiT
date for governor, to the office of
poor director, the Republican ticket
this fall is one of the best that has
ever been submitted to voters -tf or
their support. The candidates are
all men of standing in their comr
munity and well equipped to enforce and adopt the best possible
legislation for the people of Pennsylvania.
Why advocate a change in management of'political affairs at this
time when everyone is satisfied
with the business conditions of the
country as they now exist? Rather
let the voter see to it that his ballot
is cast in favor of a continuance of
present prosperous conditionp and
that his neighbor votes likewise.
