sACRIFfCING SINGLETON.

According to the dope sheet IL is
up to Gus Singleton to make a sacri-
fee hit. Our scintillating morning
contemporary is using him for a hor-
rible example in substantiation of
Gus own arguments in favor of vot-
ing the straight ticket.
"lf men treated their private obli-
cations as lightly as many do their
political obligations. what world of
insincerity this would be. Party obli-
cation is as essential as personal
obligation of any nature" Il SAYS,
and, turning to Gus for example.
further declares:
THE Democrat, who forsakes his
party nominee and drifts over to the
ranks Of the enemy, as he thinks
temporarily. will unquestionably get
his in time from the party to which
he lends assistance. This fact was
brought out strongly by the attack
made on Gus Singleton by the Padu-
cab Sun Of its issue of Monday. This
should be a lesson to those Demo-
cratic voters who have grown lax in
their party Obligation"
Since we have used Gus to adorn
a tale. we can't object to his further
use to point moral, but we would
like to inquire If the News-Democrat
thinks Gus has been sufficiently well
punished for his political perfidy, or
what does it advise should be done
with a man so "inslncere'', "disloyal".
and disregardful of personal obMga-
lions, az it evidently thinks Gus is?

In series OF debates between the
heads of opposing tickets in the

The Issue involves the whole county

change Of party Is desirable. that
change must not be limited TO the
county judge. but should be thorough
all down the line, so that harmony

ring could not sidestep the bid, an
old trick was resorted to. and that
was for the county to build the sani-
tarum. Thus taking Mr. Barley S
figures Mr.. liazelip showed that the
building cost several thousand dol
lars more than to have built the sani-
tarium by private contract. He also
explained how the county roads were
built by the road gang, which is a
branch of the court house gang
With the records from the court
house Mr.. Hazelip exposed the gang
In every department. Mr.. IIazelip
said somebody had accused him Of
raising a stink" but he said he was
only lifting the lid, and the rotten
ness of the county gang was stink
ing for itself.
For a few minutes Mr.. Hazellp de-
voted some attention to the finances
OF the county. and with a few para
graphs of law showed how the county
officials had been violating the law
by borrowing money on next years
revenue, and he explained. that, al
though Mr.. Barley was the county
prosecutor, he had failed to raise
voice in denunciation of the laws

Mr.. Barley as usual proved
pleasant speaker, and kept the audi
ence beaming with smiles because of
his stories, and reflections Col. Gus
Singleton seemed to enjoy the ad-
dress in particular, and he with the
other Democratic nominees joined
heartily in the applause. Mr. Haze
lip was without Jest, and delivered a
heart to heart business talk. and al
most throughout the address he was
listened to with splendid attention by
the tax payers who foot the bills.
Tonight the candidates will speak
at Gallman's grocery, while Thurs
day night the people of Mechanics
burg will hear the discussion of the
issues.
