Sort Over Ot Choice—Raymond E.
Smith far Assembly
Mflton W. Shreve, tte regular
or "standpat" Republican candidate for congress in tbe Erie-
Crawford district, will also serve
as the Bull Moose or Washington
party candidate. Uth-f
Thfe decision was made at a
meeting of the executive committer for '■ jWitorn Pennsylvania • ot
the Washington party, held Monday ipf..-Pittsburg. The threel^to
conferees supporting Barber and
the three from Crawford county,
supporting Shreve were unable to
agree ana the natter was referred
to the committee for final decision.
Or. Shreve's friends in the Ball
Moose ranks say he has given
satisfactory  assurances  of loyalty
. to the .^Progressive cause. On the
other hand, however, the Barber
adherents 'still insist that Shreve
has made no promises warranting
Progressive support, but having
agreed to abide by the decision
of the executive committee, it is
not thought the Barberites will
bolt thc ticket. '. .%kVjf-ii
'••• Nevertheless there is much dis-.
satisfaction expressed over the
outcome,  not  only  by  the Barber
' Progressives, who think Shreve
should aot be indorsed, but also
by the Taft Republicans, who do
not take kindly to the idea of the
regular Republican nominee for
congress truckling to the element
that is trying to disrupt the party. It is generally conceded that
Shreve will not oell the full vote
of either the regulars or the Progressives, and tlie friends of T,
W. Shacklett, the Democratic candidate, profess to be much pleased
with, ihat gentleman's prospects.
On the basis of the 1910 congressional vote in this district it will
require only the turning of 568
Republican at Bull Moose votes
from Shreve to Shacklett to insure
the election, of the latter, Gand
Shacklett's friends are confident
he will do mu'ih better than this. ...
For the place on ths assembly
ticket left vacant by the declination of William Muir of Tiotusville
Soi run, th e Progressives have named Raymond B. Smith of Randolph
township. Mr. Smith was born in
1878. He ia a brother of former
County Treasurer ,Elbert Smith
and lived in Titusville a few
years ago.

Voices Hie Disapproval Against High
Wages Paid on American Stage.
Berlin, Sept. 25.—The kaiser is tbe
latest to lift a complaining voice
against the high wages paid on the
American stage. It bas been a long
slanging grievance of Ruropsas managers to see their best artists lured
away by th" larger Amerioan purses,
and tbe kaiser, as the owner of the
royal theater, ls tn the Same boat with
the more humble impressarids.
Tbe Loksl Ansetger says that thb
kaiser, ln talking this matter over
with the manager of the municipal
theater at Berne during bis recent
visit to Switzerland, said: "These are
bad times for the theaters. I simply
cannot pay the salaries demanded.
American managers hire everything
away from me. They pay an Imperial
chancellor's salary three times over
to an actor or actress. I simply cannot keep up wtth them."

•vahia a debatable state with an "C&- ,V
lent chance for Mr. Wilson to cam- it. ™
the best speaking talent at the .coni- "
mand of the committee will be heard,
in the camnaign iu this atate. Be

of Missouri or SenatoV O'Gbrman of
New York would be. among tbe speakers In Titusville and MeadviUe'.
.. Dr. J. S. Logan was asked to say a
few.words and complied in a very interesting way. Dr. Logan was a stu»
dent at Princeton under Woodrow Wilson and enjoys a personal jicquaiint- ,
ance with him. He declared he was
an Ideal type of manhood and would
make one of tbe besf presidents tn the
history of the cotintry. The best and
at the same...time the meanest fling
that could be said of Taft, in Dr, Lo-
gan's-^topinlon, was that he "meant
well." The late Senator Dolllver bad
accurately' described him as a jarge,-
a mi able man entirely surrounded .by
men-who knew just what tbey. wanted
—and got It. As to Roosevelt, the
speaker was satisfied that Is insane,
an opinion that ts shared by 'fiany.
Tha. meeting was marked by enthusiasm and with the Wilson olub
fairly launched the campaign in Titusville will be carried on with vigor from
now on.
