The VOICE desires again to deny
the rumor that Capt. F. H. Gilmore
will be the deputy clerk in case that
Wilford E. Wood is elected. No such
arrangement has been made and time
will prove it. If there be any who
are prejudcing Mr.. Woods Opportun-
lty OF election On Ghis basis, we trust
they will at once come to different
conclusion and put Mr.. Woods can1i-
dacy on its merits. The office Of
county clerk is one that has never
been out Of the hands Of the enemy.
There is every reason in the world
why we should have it. Let every
silver man gallantly lay down every
weight that is hindrance aud come
up to the polls in solid phalanx for
our whole ticket. Our word for it.
You will have no cause of regret, and

money in his jeans that belongs to
the county and to that Office, and
which he refuses to pay over?
Knowingall this, now do you realize
that not single Populist official Tor
Democrat elected on our ticket has
ever left office with one cent in his
pocket belonging to the county?
Do you realize that not one Of them
has resisted the reduction Of fees and
salaries, either before the legislature
or in the courts?
DO you realize that every one of
them has practiced the strictest
economy in conducting the business
or their offices?
Do you not fully realize now that
there is an issue at stake in this
election?
But hold on! We are not through

viii be added S2,O57 6j in fixed salaries for the
last quarter and about $500 election expenses
which would increase it to S2i Ol6.7 H. BY no
apparent possibility can the expenditures
for this year exceed $4,000.
1t will be seen by the above that by
persistent, steady pounding. by con.
slant agitation the expenses OF the
county have been cut in two in the
middle.
This is the first year that the Popu-
lists have had majority % the board
but the gradual reductions have been
all along due to POpulist agitation.
No one in the face of these facts will
have the hardihoOd to dispute this.
Now, dear reader, do you think that
aside from all national and state
questions, you can still look a Pop in
the face and say there is no issue this
November? Ponder over these facts
well, and when you come to vote No

you wish to continue in the way We

THE ISSUE.

THE ISSUE.
There are those who surmiSe that
the election this fall is unimpOrtant,
that it is only question of what in
dividualS shall I'll the county Offices,
that no principles are at stake, aud
that there is nothing over which the
people need to be particularly con-
cerned.
TO such, the VOICE desires to cite a
few facts.
There is an issue at stake and one
which comes home to the pOcket-bOok
of every taxpayer in this county,
1t is this: Do you want to go back
to extravaganza and defalcation such
as has been the rule under Republican
administration of county affairs?
Ifyou do, just give the Republican
party swav again and if yOl fail to
travel in that direction it will be
contrary to all former experience.
Let US contrast Populist admins
tratiOn Of county affairs with that of
the Republicans.
Do you remember what a struggle
you had getting a reduction of the
salaries Of the county officers?
Do you remember how the Repub-
lican representatives, urged and lob
bied by Republican county officials,
voted and worked against these
measures at every turn?
Do you remember how, after they
were passed, they were fought by our
own tRepublicanl county officials in
the courts to the bitter end?
Do you remember how the retiring
register Of deeds (whO was backed in
his resistance by all ths Republican
OffiCials) was compelled to walk up to
the county treasury and disgOrge by
order of court?
Do you remember how it was sale
that if the fees and salaries were cut
as proposed, the county would suffer
by inetficiency?
Do yOuknOw that one of the gentle
men who openly avOwed this and said
be would not have county Office on
such a proposed salary, has since
aSpired, been elected, served one year
and erected as handsome a home as
there is in Wellington? This home
is thoroughly furnished with parlors,
libraries, dining rooms, bath rooms
and retiring closets all under one roof
and is the luxurious abode of our
present county treasurer, who is Serv-
ing his first term under the reduced
Salary-and wants another term
Do you remember how many Repub-
liqan officials have retired from Office
with many hundreds of dollars in
their pockets belonging to the county
which in several instances they have
refused to dlsgOrge?
Do you remember how Republican
board of county commissioners two
years ago compromised a claim for
81, 700 against a retiring Republican
clerk-fees which he had retained
which the courts said belonged to the
county-for $500? And do you known
that this $500 is still unpaid-with
good promise out that it shall be paid
out of this years wheat crop?
Do you know that the last clerk of

this ticket than hundreds of other

elective to put up cry of that kind,
and so they are doing it. If "Pitts-

We know absolutely nothing of
good roads in theDistrict OF Columbia:
that is of roads scientifically con
structed and properly maintained,
says the Washington Post In Mary
land the same condition obtains, and
one of the most important duties OF
the next General Assembly will be
the passage of bill, on the lines of
the road-engineer bill offered last sea
son, providing some adequate system
of road construction and road repair
in this State. This subject has been
agitated for several years, and the
people generally are becoming
thoroughly convinced of the utter
uselessness of the present system.
Enormous sums of money are
wasted every year on the roads in
Maryland counties, from which the
taxpayers get little or absolutely nc
benefit. In such counties as Garrett,
and those Of Western Maryland gen
orally, where the material is at hand
for the construction of road beds of
the most durable character.and which
would be comparatively inexpensive
to maintain, the County Commission
ers go on, year otter year, levying
large sums for roads which are seldom
put in a passable condition.
IF tho ron dc Nvara I,Iaoa6 M Ja, ,,o,.
tial or complete State supervision,
and scientific methods employed with
local authorities and a State engineer
working zealOusly together, marvel
Gus change would be made within Il
few years, and the taxpayers not
only relieved of an onerous burden.
but the convenience and the efficiency
of their teams vastly increased. The
cyclists have taken the matter in
hand, and it is announced that this
army of voters will discriminate be-
tween those candidates for the Legis-
lature who favor good roads and those
who do not. Let the farmers awake
from their lethargy and conservatism
and lend their whole energy to the
movement.
If this be done, there is no doubt of
the speedy enactment of a law that
will give Maryland good roads at the
minimum cost consistent with the OBJ
ject sought to be obtained. A cam
paign for good roads ought to go hand
IN hand with campaign for good
government.
