Editor of the Herald
Dear Sir-In your issue of the l0tf
| noticed an article from my neighbour
n. r. Files, that seems to me TO DC
very appropriate to the Epresent con-
dition of the political parties in this
county. certainly think it is high
time for the good people OF BerkeleV
county of all parties to come together
and do something to stop the praetice
of violating the laws by making gen.
eral merchandise of the ballots OF the
voters. III it is a violation of the law
for man to sell his vote, 1t is as
much so for a man to buy vote-and
more so: for if the seller did not have
a market for his vote. he could not
sell.
II the people that believe this traffic
in votes is wrong would get together
aud organize q vigilant committee,
something might be done by watching
both buyer and seller and prosecuting
them. 1t has got to the point IN the
political affairs of this county that no
man. unless he has the money to
plank down. can get the nomination
for any office of importance. no mat
ter how well he may be qualified,
and no matter how honest he may
be. The first question, II he wants
a nomination, is. "Can YOU plank
down the required amount of money!
This is not as it should be, aud 1T
is high time that the honorable, up.
right people of Berkeley county take
hold of this matter. | am sure that
there are enough good men in the
county to take hold of this matter In
earnest, and in the future we may
have decent and honest elections. For
one, am ready to cooperate and
work for the good of our county, and
therefore request that all good men.
who believe that our county is ruined
by the use of monev and whiskey in
the campaigns, get together and
formulate plans by which this in'
famous traffic NAV be stopped.
/ appeal to all good men in all the
parties. IT the buyer refuses to buy,
the seller cannot sell. 1t might be
that On election day you would find
some voters standing around looking
for buvef, and they might possibly
go home without voting but this
would not hurt any one verv much.
/ would like. through the columns
of your paper. and other county papers,
to hear from others along this line,
because there is gong to be something
done.
Respectfully yours,
T. G. Kitchen

it,

Mr. Parks with runLing the county

making partisan gerrymander o.

interest Of the people and not in ac-
cordance with law; we charged MN
with not giving in property Tor TAX
alton in his possession; we charged
him with taking two DAYS ray Tor
less than one days work. When You
have plead to these indictments we
will present another list.
Come, come Mr.. Statesman, don !
plead the baby act. You know full
well that Commissioner Stuekev is
in rbe minority, and that the demo-
cratic majority is entirely responsible
for its actions. You know that the
district road levy increased five cents
every year since your purity came into
power, You now that MIR. stuckey
kept the court from increasing the
road levy in Gerardstowp district five
cents by a most strenuous effort, ana
that he is entitled to the credit Tor
so doing. "Made miles OF good
roads. +" Yes, inroads to the taxpay-
ers pocket.

Our Navy.

Gee .sionally we hear men OF tine
democratic party criticisipg Hon. a.
G. DAY ton because of his attitude in
building up the American navy. They
say that he has encouraged a useless
expenditure of money III being IN
strumental in having congress to pass
a very large appropriation bill for
the enlargement of the navy.
1t is well known fact that Mr..
Dayton is an adept on naval affairs.
No man in congress is better fitted to
Judge our naval strength, and 10
mans Judgment is relied upon more
than Mr.. Davton's. He has studied
this subject until he is perfectly
familiar with the construction OF a
! war ship in detail.
Let Us see if it is useless to main
tain and develop our naval strength.
After tie peace conference at the
Hague the powers at once became ac-
tive in charging their navies. so we
must continue this policy of building
the American navy. Washington truth
fully said that We should preserve
peace by preparing for war. Com
merce must be protected on the high
seas. 1t must not lie at the mercy of
any nation which is superior to us in
naval power. This nation is growing
rapidly: hence the great Importance
of a growing navy to protect our
cities and harbors.
We are spending an enormous
amount of money to build the 18th
milan canal. without navy to guard
and protect it, feet superior to ours
could destroy it in less than forty
eight hours. When completed it will
be an abiding monument to the glory
and achievement of this great country.
Ley us protect it by an adequate navy.
If there is anything of which the
American people boast it is. the main.
tenance of the Monroe doctrine.
This nation insists that it shall be
enforced on all occasions when neces.
saFy, How can it be enforced without
a sufficient navy? Il is not the doc
trine foreign countries respect; it is
our fleet which backs it NO. And If
we fail to increase our navy that much
respected doctrine will soon become a
thing of the past.
Economy, of course, should be prac-
ticed in governmental affairs as well
as in any other financial transactions.
But for the preservation of peace,
aud to maintain the respect OF the
world, which our navy has won, LETT
as economist anywhere rather than
in our navy. War vessels, carrying
the stars and stripes, are messengers
of peace. Therefore every citizen in
this district who is interested in the
advancement of this country, who
loves to boast of freedom and liberty,
should vote for Hon. A. q. Dayton.
whose record in congress is noted for
honesty of purpose, loyalty to his
constituents, faithfulness to every
trust; aud who is firm believer in
the protection of our country by a
strong, well-equipped and modern
navy,
