The vote cast in the state of New York
is perhaps the most surprising feature of
the election. More than 10000 electors
remained away from the polls. Dix. al

WHAT THEY WILL DO

WILL ~
The Telegraph appears somewhat
distressed because the Democratic
candidates have not signed pledges
like Baker and Hawley. The policy
Of the Democratic party in this coun.
ty was stated in no uncertain terms
in the county platform which we
have published a number of times.
and upon which each of the candi.
dates stand. 1t comes with bad grace
for the Telegraph to pretend to be
dry.
Two years ago it yelled itself
hoarse for Davis Thorn, who is one
of the wettest men between the At.
lantic and Pacific.
Two years ago Baker, Hawey and
Steele all Supported Davis Thorn a
wet man against Writ French a dry
man.
Hawley, himself was a candidate
on ticket which was professedly
wet.
Baker has voted both ways on the
whiskey question and the Lord only
knows how he will vote the next
time.
Hawley has voted for more saloon
licenses than any man in jthe county,
and has voted for thirteen since his
election TO the legislature in 1908.
The Telegraph has made fights for
wet tickets time and again. In a
caucas held at the Federal building
IN the early part Of the year when it
was decided by the ring politicians
that I'd Baker should be candidate
for state senate, Ed stJted than ne
would run either wet or dry, just as
the party wanted him 10.
Hawley was in the same position
and they decided for him 10 run dry.
and the ring politicians thus made

If we had it is not likely we would
mention such matters in connection
with his political record, but we
would like TO ask the Telegraph what
the chief objection to Mr.. Mann is
among the insurgent members OF it's
own party. The Telegraph mighty
well knows why Mr.. Mann's name is
dragged into the campaign, and it
further knows that the censurc
which has accumulated TO his credit
is not due TO the fact tina. he is n
Republican. 1t knows, though we are
not expecting an admission that Mr.

most corrupt machines which ever
bossed the politics in any county or
state. MIR. Mann may be a Republi-

Republican primary he is charged
with having literally attributed

INCREASED VALUATION

Personal property $685.

The same values for the same pur.
pose in 1908. two years ago, were as
follows
Real estate 100000.
Personal property s7,4O7,964.
Public service corporJtions 81 592,

ANOTHER INJUSTICE.

also in another attempt to deceive
The voters. In the present instance
II compares the tax rate in the Dem

II Mercer in which the former is an.
parently made to suffer by the com.

summers has fewer miles of railroad

In this discussion the Telegraph al.

nat in the Democratic counties of
Ionroe and Summers, where the
republican gra}ters have not enter
ed, the valuation placed on real and
personal property outside of the pub
lie service corporations is vastly low
