EETURE COURSE SEAT SALE SATURDAY Tickets and Reserved Se^ts Can. be Secured ai; News Office Next Saturday •Next Saturday is -the day set for opening the. sale of season tickets for th e Whitesville Lecture Course -at the News office. From all present indi cations there is going to be a rush to secure -the tickets and select th e re served seats for the season. ■The residents of W h itesville and vicinity never had a b e tter chance to get so much entertainm e n t for so little money. There are five num bers on th e course. Tickets adm itting a person to all five of these numbers and also entitling the holder to a re served seat throughout the course cost but $1.49 for adult or $1.00 for children under 15 years. This makes th e cost of each entertainm e n t but 28 cents with reserved seat thrown in. T h e admission to a single enter tainm e n t for those who fail to buy season -tickets wdll be So cents, and 10 cents more for reserved seat, if there are any such left after the season tickets are sold. Thus it is evident ‘that it is a money-saving proposition to buy a ■season ticket. The. five num b e rs on the course 'are: ' NoV'ember 1—W alter Eccles and College G irls: a com pa-ay of six. l^ v e m b e r 26—John B. Ratto, Hur- o r is t and Impersonator.

CAN YOU AFFORD TO MISS THIS a g g r e g a t i o n o f EXCELLENT JBNTFRTAINMENT. THE MAN WHD BEAT CANDIDATE TERRY Burr Ward Defeated Mr. Ferry Fo.r Supervisor ia 1911 b y a Majori ty of Ninety 'Burr Ward, one of -the leading -Dem ocrats, of Allegany county and a iK>p- ular member of th e Board of Super visors, has -received -a re-nomlnation for Supervisor from his party In. the town of Almond. His townsmen a re evidently -appre- ciative of Mr. W ard's s-tewardship of Almond affairs during his- four years of service as- supervisor. Certainly Mr. W ard is worthy of this confidence on th e 'part of his constituents, for Almond, one of th e principal- town ships in the county never had a more able representative on the 'hoard'than Mr. Ward. Mr. W ard is -a fame-r by occupation. one of the. hustling, energetic types, who finds- tim e to take an active in terest in political affairs. He is- a young man of pleasing address, and has many fast friends throughout 'the coimty. He is very popular n his; own township. Two years ago, h e was elected over his opponent, Mr. Perry, ■the -present Republican candidate for Assemblyman, by a m-ajority of over 90. The citizens of Almond will i doubtedly re-elect B u rr Ward. YDMEI Is it n o t about tim e, Mr. Voter, th a t you began to think about for whom you will vote for county officers this fall? Your county governm ent is af te r all very im p o rtant -to you. There is no government -that is quite so close to you as th a t of your town and of you county. All of your di rect taxes go to support your county and town government and for the salaries of its offficers. And you have a m ore direct proprietory interest in them than in any other government. All Democrats should look upon the present situation with gratitude and pleasure. No such splendid oppor tunity to elect an entire Democratic ticket h a s ever been presented. We have had success in 'National' elec tions'. We have had success in State elections, but it is the first tim e th a t we have had such a golden chancd for success in county elections. B y w h at -process of reasoning -then can- any Democrat refuse to vote for any -one of th e nominees on the Demo cratic ticket? Is there any valid rea son th a t can be -given for any such contemplated action when success is about to he attained. The inevitable conclusion, will be reached th a t any •Democrat who fails not only to- vote, but to work, for the success of every Democratic nominee does not w ant to see Democratic success in county affairs. W ith equal force the sam e -reason ing applies to those independent, cour ageous, honest minded voters who were in the Republican- party until they became ashamed of th a t party because it had become a slave -of special interest a n d who banded them selves into the Progressive party. Do such of you not know that th-e Re publican county machine hates you worse than it hates -th'© Democrats.? Do you know of any desparing or dis graceful names- th a t it has- -not called you, because you left th a t party as a m a tter of principle? Do you know of -any opprobriam it has not heaped upon you? If the Democrats and Progressives had been united- on the same nomineeg last fall an' lanti-Repuhlican ticket would have been elected by two thou sand votes as th e combined Democrat ic and Progressive vote for county officers exceeded -that of the Repub licans by th a t number. Therefore, it is -a m ost favorable prospect before yoUi All hands- by working together have- a chance to -smash the selfish Republican machine so effectively that its -dictatorial methods will be a thing of th e past in the politics of this county. Personal preferences should always be laid aside for public duty, hut can any Democrat or Progressive have personal -preference for ony one of the Republican' candidates? Do you ■not kn-ow th a t every nominee on the Democratic ticket is as able and th a t every one is in -a position to -give the county far -better service than out Republican! nominees? Llt;chard for Assembly Can you imagine a more ideal can didate for Member of Assembly than Fred litc h a r d of Caneadea? He is ag gressive; he is able; he has a wide acquaintance throughout the county; he Is throuoghly fam iliar with coun ty affairs; he is a successful yoimg business- man, self made in every par ticular. H e is a student of politics and political conditions and he is one of th e most progressive of all progres sive Democrats. H e is just at -an age when he can give th e county th e best possible ser vice at Albany and this is a tim e wh-en. -such services are -needed. Mr. Lltchard’s opponent, Mr. Ferry, was placed on 'the ticket at the last moment to carry out the political plans of -the Republican organization. Mr. Ferry was- beaten by B u rr W ard for Supervisor by 90 majority, while Mr. Litchard carried his town last fall by over 100 majority. This illustrates how the respective candidates are I'ooked npon in -th-eir respective locali- County Judge And why should any Democrat or Progressive vote for th e Republican candidate for County Judge? Judge Reynolds was- formerly a Democrat. As a Democrat he was first elected the office of school commissioner. When the late Judge Norton i^an the last time for County Judge, Judge Reynolds was the candidate on the Democratic ticket, who opposed. Then came .a conversion and not long there after he received the nomination for Mrs. Ernest Hubbrad and Mrs. Glen Richmond Suffer Slightj ^ Injuries Tuesday afternoon, -while Nathaniel Hubbard, who resides on the A. S. Heselton f-arm about two miles north east of W hitesville, was driving with a lumber wagon into a field, Ms h o rs es became frightened, made a quick start and thre-w Mrs. E rnest Hubbard and Mrs. Glen Richmond from the ly rewarded for his acts, wagon, both of them striking on the! William C. W indsor is a Judge on th e Republican ticket. When his- first term ran out, he- was re nominated and re-elected so that he has already served 12 years. Can Democrats conscientiously approve of the course of a man who was -an elem ent of strength in their party and whom th a t party v/as glad to District Attorney •When it comes to a discussion, of D istrict Attorney, th-e situation sim plifies itself. T h ree years' ago, th e Democratic party responding to an emergency ■-n i county affairs, ’ nom inated Jam e s T, Ward- to th e im p o rtant -position of D istrict Attorney. He received the loyal', earnest and energetic support of all Democrats w ith the sligh«t ex ception th a t -there was a little disaf fection, open in its character, in his own to-wn of Friendship. Mr. W ard likewise received the greater part of those 'honest minded voters who bow arq in- 'the Progressive, party -and he was elected. This year, both th e Democratic and the Progressive parties renominated him and his nomination was duly fil ed- with th e Board- of Bleetion. Al most- immediately thereafter, Mr. W ard declined both nominations. He filed la form al declination with the Board of Election -and issued a public statem e n t &ta'ti-n.g th a t he would not accept a nomination 'on -any ticket ex cept th e Republican -ticket, in other words, -he has declined to receive the support which was so cheerfully and generously given- him three years -ago as .a result of which he was elevat ed to .ithe position of D istrict Attor- •ney and by th e accomplishment of which, he- necessarily became a promi nent figure in county affairs. Mr. W ard h a s -publicly declined to receive •the support of th e -Dem-ocratic and Progressive Parties, he does notwanit the votes- of th e members of th-ose parties. H e desires to receive „ only Republican votes 'and it ds the duty of the Democrats and Progressives to take him -at his word. ■Especially is it the cratg-j a n d Progressives -to support their own candidate because they have in- -Mr. Bodine, a candidate -who meets all requirements. A graduate of the Cornell Law School, Mr. Bo dine has had excellent preliminary legal training. Immediately after graduating, he began active work in Law. F o r th e last few years, he has been in Friendship in, partnership with Hon A. L. Elliotit and has been entrust ed w ith many im p o rtant legal ques tions. He is an excellent trial law yer and -thoroughly grounded in crim inal law. H e has noit -as large a practice as Mr. Ward, but this is- to his advant age, since it is well known -that Mr. W ard considers -his work as District Attorney a handicap 'to to his regu la r legal work, which is far more profitable. A young lawyer is needed who has not many outside connections th a t the worrysome little m a tters in the D istrict Attorney's office annoy him. Mr. Bodine, If elected will give his tim e both night and -day to the work of the office if necessary. A careful frank consideration of all of the county conditions will con vince at least every voter who stood against Republicanism last fall, that it -ifi' equally as necessary -that he stand 'against Republicanism this fall. But 'that is not -enough. Wo ought to get recruits to the cause and It would indeed be a benificent result if th e m ajority foir o u r candidates was great •er than would have been -the majori ty last year if the two parties had stood together. , HUGH V.

John Leo Sullivan, the Democratic Progressive candidate, then as now Member of Assembly from Chautauqua County a t Dunkirk, N. Y., and in September, 1911, form ed a co-partnership w ith Mr. A.

Prom all present indications it would seem that Lester J. Fortner will be 'the successful candidate. And why?— First, because Mr. Fortner ds a MAN,—a person whom ©v^ryono in the township knows, whom everyone likes, and a person whom everyone trusts—he has always proven him -' M rs.^'i^uV n a i r a W ^ r i l ^ self worthy of the trust.
