the way the people treated it last
night in not attending the concert,

the extreme view, but surely
something should be done in the

The bill of Representative
Greer on Irrigation is very i'm
portant measure and should re-
ceive the closest attention of our
law makers. There in no subject
that will produce more trouble
and litigation in this state than the
water rights question if it is not
handled right. Therefore, every
irrigator should take the bill and
study it's clauses and provisions
and endeavor to point out its faults
and wherein it Will not work.
We call the attention Of the ir-
rigatcrS of this section to sections
IS and 10 the TRANSFER of
Rights" which reads as follows:
SEC. IS. Any person or
party desiring to transfer his or
their water rights from one canal
or ditch to another canal or ditch,
shall make application in writing
to the parties controlling the canals
or bitches from which and to
which he or they may wish such
transfer 10 be made; upon receipt
of such application, the said
parties having control of said
canals or bitches shall within ten
days thereafter, notify,the owners
or stockholders OF said canals or
bitches. that meeting will be
held not less than five days after
the date of said notice; for the
purpose of considering and acting
upon said application; and if after
due, consideration by the owners
or stockholders, it shall be decided
and agreed by two-thirds vote
of the stock of the company not
to grant the application, and allow
such transfer to be made, the
application shall be deemed to be
granted, and such transfer shall
be made.
SEC. TO-. All lawful established
rights to the use of any of the
waters of this state shall be helc
as personal property and may b(
sold and transferred as such"
There seems to be contra.
diction in the latter part of section
IS. The two--thirds vote

the subject before those who are

Woud-be political history Alright
Upon the of a nominating convention in county,
is good time to recall the lesson locally.
The people of this county be left select
candidates unassted by those who would like play
party bosses.
The right to nominate candidate for Office belongs to every
citizen clearly and essentially does the right
which candidate he will vote for at the election.
1t is recognized by the law
Every citizen may he chooses his candidates
every election, and write their upon the
specified numbers of citizens may way petition

ddates nominated by themselves In doing they

They simply exercise their In truth, they use this
method for the very purpose Of encroacng upon right
Others but of resisting attempted encoachmen upon their

1t is notorious fact that combinations of politicians inside
of political parties commonly called the machines have
managed way Of organized cooperation get keep

the nominations according to their liking.
III this way nominations brought about which very
quently accord with the majority of
the party, and in the making of which that majority really

That "the machine, of the boss ruling it, will ordinarily
nominate candidates who be counted upon elected

very often shameey sacrificed notorious

several Of tho county papers, | desire to say
that | have in no way given anyone the
slightest intimation that has led to the report,
but | do desire to say that am not a candi-
date for any Office upon the ticket to be nomi-
mated and my personal business would not
permit me to devote any time to the require
ments OF the situation. I am however, sin
cerely interested in the ticket, and like my
friend DR. Mackall | want to see the personnel

guarantee that the issue. in which Cecil
county is SO deeply Interested will receive
the proper attention, and while declarations
and resolutions of conventions are well
enough if passed before the nominations are
