The Milton Record says: "The
election is less than two and a-half
months off and the politicating has
not yet commenced. 1t may be
that it will uot get started this year
until after the election. In the
general shake up in state politics
maybe the campaign methods will
undergo a revision. Well, while
politics is very quiet the voters are
doing a whole lot of thinking-and
good many Of them are disgusted
and threaten to stay away from the
polls. The better element of the
Republicans a.e ashamed of the
party management, and hundreds
OF them will vote with the opposi-
ton this year as a means of correct
ing the abuses that have become
unbearable. They have tried to
reform within the party and the
efforts have been small failures.
The same old boodlers turn up on
top every time. They realize that
to bring about change the present
leaders and their machine must be
overthrown. 1t is not a war upon
Republican principles, but deter
mination to put out OF business
those who have masqueraded under
the party banner and have defiled
and dishonored it. A great oppor-
tunity is presented to the Democrats
this year, not only to aid in the
work of reform. but to materially
strengthen their own party. But
there is good deal Of indifference
among the rank and file. They
feel that the Philadelphia end OF
the party is about as rotten and
corrupt as politics can get, and as
long as it is recognized and exerts
an influence in Democratic councils
this indifference will prevail to a
greater or less degree.

Ray Jones has accepted posi-

doubt that he will fill his new posi-

There are more reasons why every
Democrat should see that he is
registered and then be sure to vote,
this fall, than there has been for
many years. One Of these is that
his vote will count and will not be
nullifed by some repeater in Phili .
delphia; another is that thousands
upon thousands of decent and re.
putable Republicans are joining
hands with us to aid in the effort to
rid the State of the corrupt Machine
that has SO long dishonored and
disgraced it. And still another is
that it is the time for decency and
honestJ in politics to win, and this
is what every good Democrat de-
sires. To win, however, we must
all do our duty. We should begin
that work by seeing that ourselves,
our Democratic neighbors and their
sons, are properly registered. And
this must be attended to before the
evening of September 9TH.
