presumed for a moment that the

Why Usual Divvy Was Not
Made This Year.
Some FisureI Bidc For Printing Election Ballots
and Some History With Reference to the
Matter. as Shown By the Records
Of the BOARD Of Elections.

The printing question has been one
that has given the county board OF
elections considerable trouble, and the
action of Canton printer. who. this
fall put in bid so much below the
others as to appear entirely isolated,
of a muddled condition.
1t appears that it has been the GUS
tom of the different job offices TO al
low~the Repository Printing company
to have the printing of the registration
Lists of the city of Canton-a job that
is not without its attractive features
in the way of remuneration-each year,
without competition. The Repository
has thereupon neglected to bid on the
printing of the ballots, though we'll
equipped to do the work.
Several of the other printing Offices
thus had their own way with refer
ence to the printing of the ballots and
from the figures that are obtainable
from the records of the election board,
1t is apparent that there has been
COLLUSION OF SOME SORT,
and combination to put the price up
so high that all of them can take a
slice out of the proceeds and still leave
the printer actually doing the work,
substantial and satisfactory profit.
1t is said that the bids would be close
together, at high figure, and then
the successful bidder would give the
others with whom he was In ccllusion,
about fifty dollars each out of the
amount Of which the county had been
mulcted. The county, under this most
effective plan. was thus made to pay
something over 5000 for a job that any
legitimate printer, In open competi-
ton, would be glad to get at 5000.
According to the minutes of the
county board OF election, this practice
was attempted this year. It had been
successfully worked for the past three
or four years, and the price for bal
lots was at a high notch.
In 1899 there were but two bids.
The Roller Printing company got the
work for 3475. The only other bidder
was The hcQr'eor Printins company

The work was worth not more than it
was worth this year.
In the spring Of 1900 there were bal
lots to print for the various township
elections. Hiles & Coggshall, of Cleyc-
land. put in a bid for $19S. The next
lowest bidder was $252 higher than this
bid, and the other ran up to as high
as $5l5 for the same work. Printers
usually figure by
A FIXED RULE.
Taper, ink and press work cost about
the same. The relative equipment OF
the plants may make slight differ
ence but hardly S252 difference on a
$500 job. The board would have moth
ing to do with the Hiles & ,Coggshall
bid, for the law says that the bid
must be made by q resident of the
county. There was such discrepancy
In the other bids that the board could
rot fail to take note of 1t, and retain
any regard for its conscience, 80 1t
threw all of the bids out. Hiles C
Coggshall being out Of 1t, the other fell
lows went ahead as usual, and one of
them got 1t for $423. Just 3225 higher
than what the Cleveland firm agreed
to do the same work for.
In 1900 Hiles & Coggshall did not
enter the arena. and the combine pro-
ceeded to do business as of yOre.
There was only a few dollars differ
ence In the bids of the combine for
the ballots for the fall election. 1t is

On account of the extra ballots the

the extra expense, would leave large

But in the meantime. Mr.. Hilss, of
the Cleveland firm, came to Canton.
He said II there were such snaps being
dealt out In Stark county he wanted a
slice of the lucre. Another bidder
thereupon entered the field, in the per-
son of young man named Hurford,
who runs local job Office. Hurford's
bid for the work that the lowest of
the others wanted $615 for perform
ing, was but $3.50. He had figured, 1t
Is said, about how much
ACTUAL PROFIT
one of the firms that did the worl;
would want. and added to 1t what he
had been informed was the ratio of
divvy with the others of the com.
bine, and then got in between.
There was mighty howl when his
bid was opened. 1t was declared by
representatives of the combine that he
could not do the work. They said the
Office was small. and not equipped for
such work. They expostulated vigor-
ously with the board of elections, in
ssting that II Hurford got the job the
work would be done in Cleveland. and
iDtimated that the Hiles & Coggshall
Go. was behind the bid of Hurford.
They insisted that tho board act on
the "let well enough alone" theory, as
advanced by the great and good Mr..
Hanna.
Members of the board looked at the
law long and seriously, but they
couldn't find anything that said where
the printing should be done. The law
required a bond, and 1t was at hand.
Hurford

OF the county. which covered that re-
quirement. The law didn't even say
that the bidder needed to be O printer.
but even If 1t had. Hurford was there
to show that he was a printer. There
was nothing to do but to give the work

that 1t would be enjoined II It attempt

A GRAVE MISTAKE.


terday under Brunswick date line AID
glaring headletters "For Ship Subsidy,
Purpose of Maritime Congress Announc.
ed, Governor Gambler Buncoed:"
Mr.. Edwin Brobston, a prominent
member of the Brunswick Board Of
Trade, informed the Morning News
CORES pondent tonight that he will in
troduce resolution favorlng ship-sub-
sides at the session Of the National
MART me Congress, which conyenes
here Wednesday morning next. This
announcement will pave The way tor
one Of the hard Sc fought b. tiles on the
! col vention floor, and it Is more thai
probable that Governor Gambler, who
| signed the call for The congre s, Will
be here in person to lead the fight
against the B,unswlckan.
"Governor Gamblers friends have re-
Gently received intimations from abroad
that chip subsidy reso1ut on might be
preseD ted to the M .ritime Congress and
they have'been working DESPERATELY to
prot ct Gov. Gambler in the matter,
They realize the burden is upon them
to do Ihle, as Gov. Gambler is greatly
opposed to ship subsidies and would
never have signed the call for the Ma
tiona1 Congress had he dreamed that
such resolu ion would be presented.
Gov. Gambler is now being urged to
come to Brunswick and aid in the fight
on the floor Of the convention and with
the positive announcement that the
fight will be opened by a Bruins wick
man and led by him it is more than pro-
bable that the Governor will come.
"TIIE TINES CALL has devoted a great
deal of space to the National Maritime
Congress believing that it would be
gathering for non partisan discussion
OF marine matters according to the res
o1ution of the Board ofTrade."
We do not doubt but that Mr.. Brob.
ston meant we'll when he gave out the
statement to the Savannah News cor
respondent, but he made mistake and
he will make a more serious one if he
endeavors to get an endorsement Of the
Hanna Payne subsidy measure or any
subsidy resolution whatsyer through
the Maritime Congress.
Mr.. BrobEtsn 10 an active member OF
the Board of Trsde aud we cannot see
how he can possibly override the reso-
luton passed by that body to the effect
that there would be no partisan measure
passed by the congress
Governor Gambler, who signed the
call for the convention, il bitterly op-
posed to the subsidy bill and it would
be doing our chief executive grave
injustice to introduce such a res 1lution,
especially would it be wrong for 3
Brunswick man to take such action.
The Georgia delegation stands as a
unit against the pat m'asure of Hanna's
aud Senator Clay is leading noble
fight which is being made to defeat the
steal.
Taking the representations which
havo been made to Governor Gambler
and the stand OF our delegation into
consideration, can we allow resou-
ton endorsing a measure they are
agsios. to pass convention called by
the C0verao or Of rock-1ibbCd demo-
cratic state and held in It's best seaport.
