"Anti-frogresS' finds fault with Prog
rcsS' for favoring Joseph Bear for
Mayor. He says
The electric light contract does not expire
until some time during the summer of 1902
that the water bonds have been refunded,

and election of the able incumbent, Hon. C..

To his letter of last week ''VOtcr" adds:
The cleaner took up the persecution because
Sam (Bowen) did not see fit to go beyond the
plain rules laid down for his guidance in the
charter and become reformer of the Carrie
Nation stamp; because he would not go
around with his little hatchet and save the
town from what the two Cs Carrie and Cook
consider eternal damnation, and who, in
the language of the Dutch poet call
De FRANKS of tie prohibitory man and cranks
Who try to make te world better than she eer
vas alretty.
Ncr ne1cr will be no more.
Only this und holdings more.
In relation to his persecution by the Forum
that appears to be Of longer standing.
presume it Is personal spite that should have
no place in town affairs nor politics, but not
outstanding this suppose the same warfare
will be continued and probably while am
writing this the present trinity consisting of
the st. John b., (the BaptisD John the
Evangelist and "Nicker Booker Cholly," the
society editor, are burning midnight mot oi)
gas that has wonderfully improved in their
estimation since Sandy left it.
''Townsman" wants
Conrad Lapp for bailih, or if that office be
"staked OFF, for someone else who cannot
well be sidc-tracked, he is in favor of the fol-
lowing ticket, provided each man named
will beforehand pledge himself to vote in
Council for Lapp for tax collector;
For Moyor-J. Il. Williams.
For Couuciimom-U. G. Hanna, J. j. Meal
ing, d. d. Price.
''Calathumpian writes i'll opposition
to Henry Fisher for bailiff. He alleges
that
Mr.. Fisher is well oH-better off than any
other candidates and should stand aside for a
poorer man.
"Calathumpian is strong party
man, but says
Mr.. Fisher, being the choice of the bosses,
has to be the man." they say but | say that
this time it should be someone else, care
not who just so he is a fit man.
"Observer' writes, i'll substance:
The man who sent you ticket No. > last
week met my views exactly and of many
others who have become disguised with the
platforms, policies and hypocrisies of the old
parties and their nominees We took our
leave from their folds, we threw their teach
ings to the winds and commenced to SOW the
seed for new and better party by voting for
Mr.. Debs. It's true we are yet few in num-
Der but let us stay together and show that we
were honest then and consistent now. Let
us put up a ticket-No. 2 in last week S JoUH-
NAL, or one near like it, and, to a man, sup
port it.
water Takcr' sends in this ticket:
For 4Nayor-Otto IIohing.
For COMMUNICATIONS Stanton, W S.
Burton, Noah II. Hendley.
For BaHif-Henry Fisher.
For Policemam-Justus Yungcrman, or
Roger II. Williams.
In addition to his letter last week
Charles Ranhoff asks
If fire occurs from which system does the
fire department draw water?
From the old system?
Not bit of it.
Still we have people taking the old water
and paying for it who have to look to the
town supply for protection from fire.
That is why | contend that every landlord
whose property is within reach of the town
system should be charged with the town
water whether he takes it or not. He should,
like the rest of us, be made to pay for the
only protection he has from fire.
MANY Voters send in strong
''push" for David Lewis. They say
Dave has always been faithful worker and
proven himself valuable to the party as some
of the leaders can testify. In former cam
paigns his services have been sought and Dave
has always responded,
We have nothing to say against the other
applicants, but we think that it is high time
the voters of Frostburg be allowed to vote for
and choose their own officers without being
dictated to by wOuldbe bosses or corporations
that have purposes to serve. One sets up
one party for Balifl' and saws this is the man
and he must be elected. Another clique has
another that they claim must he put on the
ticket and be elected, but it is the votes that
count, and # all signs do not fail Dave will get
them, and when elected he will be no mans
man, but do his duty without fear or favor.
These letters are given place i'll this
column in order to condense them in
less space than the original text would
occupy.
