II. L. STADER A
LOYAL WORKER
For Good ROadS--SpendS Lot OF
His Time as Well as Money
In The Work.
J. A. BARRY, ALSO LOYAL.

After a search of Breckenridge
county from Chenault to Pill Ashby S
farm it would be hard to find two
men who have worked and are work
ing harder for good roads than Mr.. a..
L. Stader and Mr.. John A. Barry of
Cloverport. While here in Cloverport
can be found perhaps more men VINO
are working harder in the good roads
movement than any other town OF
village in Breckenridge, ii would be
hard to single out two men who have
spent as much time and money In the
movement as have the two gentlemen
named above. W. II. Bowmer, Jno
d. Babbsge, Chas. Bohler and many
other CloverpOrters are showing much
interest in the movement for better
roads.
Stader was busy all last week circu
lating petition TO present to the Fiscal
court which convenes at Hardinsburg
this week, petoining that body to ap-
point Mr.. Chss. Boiler, a really prac
tical road man, to the place of Super
visor for the CloverpoIt district. The
Democratic machine, has already de-
cided who Cloverport wants for sup
ervison, but somhow the selection is
not altogether agreeable to the wishes
of the majority Of the voters here. 1t is
alleged The appointment has. been prom
ised to a certain highly respected
man as reward for political work
done before the election. While the
people think it is Just and right that a
man should he paid tor his honest en-
deavors, it is hard for the Cloverport
district tax payers to see why a man
should be paid with their money for
work that has not benefited them to
any great extent. The man VINO the
gang mas promised the appointment
too, is said to know but very little
about road building and this is why
another man is wanted in his stead.
Mr.. Chas. Boiler S ability to build
and maintain roads has long been de-
monstrated. Ssveral years since he had
charge of the roads IN this district and
the results CT hts labors can be seen to-
day, although four or FIVE years nave
elapsed in the meantime. The famous
Allen hill about a mile from town was
macadamized by Mr. Boiler and the
result is known to everybody acquaint-
ed with the highway. If MI. Bohler
had been left in charge of the work
and not sDlaced by politicians, as
was done. Clover port would today be
the proud poSsesssor of a pike to Ball
town. Inis may seem very broad
and absured statement but it is not
TIL road all the way WAS graded and
ready for rock when Mr. Boiler was
Displaced. He was IN the act of mac
adamizlug It when political gang
lynched hIs plans. The town had
bought rock crusher and was doing |
a great deal IN the movement. Nearly |
every citizen was stirred up for better |
roads and the dawn of the future was
bright. But here came the cry for less
taxes. Cut down expenses ~ Bob
Ter is spending too much money :
This is what the PARTIES seeking |
county oiiicies cried, our plans were
thwartad Boiler was displaced, the
road wa, thrown into the hands, of |
men who had helped to elect politicians
and now the results What Is itY A dis |
graceful condition Of the roads leading |
out ofCloyerpoIt.
TO put Chas Bonler in as our road
supervisor will mean good roads for us
To leave him out will mean the same
or worse tnat we Gow have. This is
the reason every man in the district Is
signing the Boiler petition as it Is pre-
sented to him. If the gang at Hard.
