MAKE 1T CERTAIN

OUR recent statement, that the time
is at hand when the old Crothers ma
chine in this county must be thoroughly
beaten, has called forth word of mild
protest from the antiCrothers element
in the Democratic party. Some of these
gentlemen have asked us to not forget
the fact that THEY are going to put the
end to the machine. We have no doubt
of their good intentions. But we have
very serious doubt of their ability to
fulfil those intentions. What Crothers
cannot win by direction he usually ach-
ieves by indirect.on The present nomi-
nees of the Democrats are not all men
after the Governors own liking, to be
sure; but should they be elected, YOU
can count on the Governors setting to
work to MAKE them men after his lik-
ing. We have had several illustrations
of this very thing in recent years. Some
of our present county officials were not
regarded as Crothers men at the time OF
their elestion. But after they were
elected the Governor proceeded to take
charge of their official action, and the
county has never suffered more than in
the last few years from offensive Croth-
ers' influence. If we want to be GER
TAINLY free from this influence
if we want to MAKE SURE of putting
the Crothers machine out of business,
we can only do it by electing the pres-
ent Republican ticket, made up as it is
of men who want mo Crothers in theirs"
in any way, shape or form. If the De-
mocrats in the County had have entirely
repudiated the Crothers influence, the
situation would be different But they
haven't. They are playing for the help
of that influence with one hand, while
denouncing it with the other And THAT
is not safe business. Those of us who
are tired of the evil affects of that
influence want men elected this time
who are ready to stand up and be count
ed as against the Crothers machine, and
all its works, first, last and all the time.

A WARNING TO GOOD ROAD
BUILDERS

THE discovery in New York that a
former Stata Engineer s''d other State
employees have been guilty of fraud in
the construction of good roads by which
they and their confederates reaped large
profits will not help the cause Of good
road building. The discouraging thing
about the exposure is the apparent ease
with which the States money was stolen
and wasted.
There was colluson, of course, but it
seems to have been amazingly simple to
pile up bills against the State Bids
were withdrawn and higher bids substi-
tuted. Supplemental work was au-
.hori- ed without the formality of ad-
vertisins for bids, and this was fertile
field for rascality. Inferior material was
laid down and the State made to pay the
price of good material. Payrolls were
padded and the proceeds divided Con-
tractors paid rebates and there was
cheating in the measurement of work
done.
The work of road building is so expen-
sive that States have hesitated to EN-
bark in it. When there is added to tho
large cost the danger that the work will
The Cecil Whig., 1911-10-07
A NEEDLESS EXPENSE

1T is hardly worth while to call at
tention to the miserable way affairs In
this county are handled under the pres
ent management; the instances are 20
numerous and so patent. We are how
ever asked to cite at present the matter
of the new bridge at Ricketts, Mill This
bridge has been under way since a year
ago last August, and will cost from
$4,000 to $500. The County Commission
ers levied $4500 for it, but the way the
affair has been handled will almost dou-
ole the cost. No very elaborate bridge
was required at this point; only SER
viceable and suficienet structure for
the somewhat limited travel which pass
es over that road. The people of the
county will hardly hear with patience
that the bridge at this point is to cost
$4,000 or more, when they reflect on the
many places in the county where road
and bridge work is needed. But such IL
the administration of affairs under which
we are living at present and which we
will have to endure yet q little longer.
until there can be a cleaning out OF
present officials, as there will be on No
vember 7th.
The Cecil Whig., 1911-10-07
TWADDLE

WHEN our Democratic friends OF the
local press get to bowling about the Re
publican ticket not being nominated by
the people, we presume they refer tc
the fact that the Republicans had no
primary election. Which is quite true; /;
and they held no primary election sim
ply because there was no contest for
local nominations. But nobody prevent
ed candidates offering themselves for
such contest. Nobody COULD prevent
1t. This new-fangled primary law,
which nobody likes and which is a use
less expense to the county, permitted
anyone, that wanted to, to enter the pri-
mary for a nomination, and it Is the YER
lest rot, the cheapest sort of political
twaddle for our Democratic friends to
say the Republicans did not nominate
their ticket, simply because this fool
primary law would not permit them to
hold a convention. These troubled De-
mocratic critics will find not only that
the Republicans have nominated their
ticket, but that THEY ARE GOING TO
ELECT 1T, by the help Of a great host
of independent Democrats who are dis
gusted with present conditions.
But let us add another word. While
our Democratic critics are troubled over
the fact that the Republican ticket was
nominated without a primary contest,
how are they going to explain the way a
rart of their own ticket was nominated?
For example Messrs. Hess and Reynolds
ttheir candidates for County Commits
sioner) did not enter the Democratic pri-
mary, their names were on no primary
tickets, simply because they had no op-
ponents. They were nominated exactly
as were the Republican candidates, by
certitication of the Election Supervisors.
Have they therefore not been nominated
at all? The same reasoning applies to
the case of Mr.. Albert Constable, Demo-
cratic candidate for States Attorney. Is
any idiot going to rise up in our midst
and say Mr.. Constable i.,. not been
nominated?
AS matter of sact we hate to notice
this sort of cheap political twadde, but
we suppose there are some few minds on
which it has some effect, minds II
about the same 81 and strength as the
minds which manufacture this Llanu =,
campaign material.
p. S. That complete county ticket
which the Governor made up in his back
office one night last August was intend
ed to be the ticket nominated by the
people," If only the anti-Crothers in
surgents had have been good and kept
still.
The Cecil Whig., 1911-10-07
HOW DO YOU LIKE 1T

WHAT benefit, fellow citizens and tax
payers has come to the county from the
new road engineer law which Governor
Crothers succeeded in imposing on us
by 'the help of my nephew, Omar D.
Crothers." Have you seen any striking
Improvement in the handling OF our
roads? Has it brought to pass any re-
markable economies in road manage
ment' Has it not rather meant the pill
ing up of official salaries with little or
nothing to show for those salaries? Does
the new method commend itself to the
Judgment and approval of our people /?
We hear nothing but condemnation of
the thing and it is about as certain as
daily sunrise that the people are going
to insure its destruction by the election
of the Republican legislators and com.
missioners. That is, they are going TO
give the farce both barrels-if one
misses the other will bring it down.
Governor Crothers has imposed some
pretty rotten legislation on this county
by 1.-The help of my nephew, Omar D.
Crothers" And the people are after it
this Fall. with gun and sword
The Cecil Whig., 1911-10-07
NO MORE CROTHERS' COMMITS
SIONERS

THE more the people OF this
county become acquainted with
the Republican candidates this
Fall the more satisfied they will
he with their prospective election.
There can be no doubt of the fact
that the county is determined 10
have a house-cleaning-to make
a change in the management of
local affairs. Under such circum-
stances it is very gratifying to
know that the change will bring
into Office men who are every way
capable and trustworthy. We
know little of the Democratic can
didates for County Commissioner
-Messrs. Hess and Reynolds. We
have no personal criticism to offer
concerning them. We had no per-
Sonal criticism to offer of Messrs.
Deshane and Griffith two years
ago. But it will be remembered
that Messrs. Deshane and Griffith
had hardly assumed office before
they passed under the Crothers
direction and control-to the dis
gust and proper indignation of
many %: the people who had help
ed elect them. Those people are
not going to take any such
chances again. Messrs. Hess and
Reynolds, having been named, or
accepted, by the Crothers ma
chine, cannot expect the support
OF people who are determined to
end the malign influence Of that
machine in Our county affairs.
Under these circumstance it is
fortunate that the opposing candi-
dates for County Commissioners
are such entirely acceptable citi-
zcns as Messrs. Jackson and Gift
ford. These gentlemen can very
properly invite, and command, the
support of the entire electorate !;
and with their election it will be a
comfort to the county to know
that the Commissioners Office !s
no longer an annex to the Gro
theirs machine. Messrs. Jackson
and Clifford will hardly be invited

in their campaigning. But it's

pie will not take any chances on
being fooled again. And that
means the election of Messrs.
