A Ledger editorial urges support for the Democratic ticket in Warren County, argues against boss control by national and local Republicans, and highlights endorsements for Charles H. Noyes and Charles E. Brown while praising Dr. J Sacer’s motives. It condemns election manipulation and backs Pattison as the people’s governor over the boss system.
The Pattison campaign gains momentum as he tours the state with strong support and new recruits while Delamater is hampered by accusations from Hensel and Ex-Senator Emery. Rutan accuses Delamater of stolen goods and an Meadville incident affects his standing. Pattison is seen as a capable governor with broad Republican and Democratic backing, while vote buying allegations surface in Youngsville and Warren.
The piece attacks bribery in Greenville and Warren County politics. It calls for steadfast men who will resist corruption and uphold truth, citing C J Law’s resignation over bribery charges and a Captain Morris sworn statement about Delamater’s bank patronage. It urges veterans to resist political insult and demand integrity at the polls.
A lettered critique questions a candidate for a salary of 350000 and accuses the Mail of poor taste and clout chasing. It recalls Delamater’s Johnstown visit and an escort by a solitary democratic mail carter amid reception confusion. The piece claims the Mail’s gun is spiked and urges voters to vote early, freely, not for ring control.
A Philadelphia Times article chronicles the Higgins candidacy amid Allen ring corruption charges and attacks on his integrity. It argues Higgins betrayed trust as district attorney and warns voters of his pliable ties to Quay aligned factions. The piece contrasts Higgins with Charles H Noyes as honorable and capable for judge. It notes Quay's bid to trade the ticket to save Delamater and blasts Quay's opportunism.
The Warren bar splits over the election of Mr Higgins with 33 members opposed. The signatory group grows to 42 after adding three more names. Republicans outnumber Democrats 21 to 12 among those opposing Higgins. The piece urges Higgins to withdraw. EMERY'S CHARGES: Ex-legislators from Meadville Crawford county deny, but confirm Delamater accusers’ credibility. Delamater loses support as charges cling to him and his party.
The piece names ex Senator Tomer J. Humes and ex Representative D. C. Beach of Meadville and J. H. O’Dell of Meadville and Milwaukee as witnesses in a Crawford county political dispute. It accuses Higgins supporters of using a reform fund to pay lurid campaign operatives and mocks a Higgins Salvation Army tour as a public farce while urging voters to ignore the ring tactics.
A political tirade condemns the Mail for its stance on readers' wishes and district interests. It highlights Manley H. Bovee as a leading oil operator and candidate for state senate, while detailing calls for ballot reform and critique of entrenched power, with references to national figures and local figures in Venango and Crawford counties.
