Where Autos Are Barred

Prince Edward island bars automo
biles. not because the islanders can.
not afford the machines, but because
of accidents caused by the reckless
ness of drivers who brought in the
first cars. They caused many run.
Always, and few had tragic endlngs.
The legislature at once passed law
barring autos from the island Some
of the leading cities have since en-.
deavored to have the enactment re-
pealed. but the country influence has
always been strong enough to over
come all such efforts.

move slowly forward.

Administration Commended

We commend the business admin

the extensive and permanent improve
ments made by them. These include
the completion OF a county innrmary
at a cost OF $3.50. 900. a new county
jail at a cost OF $40. 900: the numer-
Gus steel and concrete bridges erect
ed for the safety Of the travelling
public; the extension OF the street
lighting system upon the county
roads; and we pledge the nominees
OF this convention TO a still wider
extension OF the street lighting sys-
tenn and other improvements through
out the county.
We also call attention 10 the fact
that the above improvements have
been made without increa sing the
taxpayers burden while at the same
time the bonded Indebtedness Of the
county has been decreased $4,000

Forced Out of Office.

The convention probably could not
have named n man for sheriff who
would have displeased Sharp more than
Mr., Smith. Until few days ago Mr..
Smith was a deputy in the Office of the
sheriff. Early last spring he an
nounced his intention of becoming a
candidate for sheriff. This displeased
the sheriff, who said that he did not
think a deputy should announce his
candidacy without the consent Of the
other deputies in the Office. But Smith
was insistent, and TO show his disap.
proval, Sharp reduced Smith from his
position as deputy in the criminal
work TO a Jail assignment that pre-
vented Smith s being out where he
could hope TO make political progress.
Then Sharp announced his own
candidacy, and still keeping Smith in
the Jail office, set about working for
his own denomination for q third term.
Seventeen out OF twenty-five deputy
sheriffs were assigned TO political duty,
and they made every effort TO win for
their chief. Despite his handicap, how.
ever, Smith made much headway and
secured much support throughout the
county. Finally be resigned his po-
sition as deputy sheriff and worked
hard in his own behalf. Naturally the

c. Mackay and w. j. Burton for county
commissioners, but when serious oppo-
sition began to develop both withdrew
from tho race.
There was no concerted effort on the
part Of former American party men
to obtain any places on the ticket.
Charles Read, formerly prominent
member Of the American party, was
the only one proposed for county Office.
He was brought out at the last moment
for county treasurer and polled a
larger vote than many had expected.
E. A. Rogers, one of the nominees
for city Judge; Harry s. Harper, nom
lnee for city justice, and George p.
Tinges. nominee for constable, are for
mer members of the American party
who were given places on the ticket.
The convention was long drawn out,
continuing until almost midnight last
night. That the legislative ticket was
not to be named at this convention
was the occasion for considerable
tbhnkfulness on the part of the dele.

of an all-night session,
The convention was slow in opening.

T. A. Callister called the convention TO
order. the delegates were just beginning

official call for the convention. Then MIR.
Callister announced that the county com
mttee had selected Ben Rich for tempo
rary chairman, Harold Fabian for temon-
rary secretary, and Joseph Il. Burbidge
for sergeant-at-arms Without more ado
he introduced the temporary chairman.
The address OF Temporary Chairman
Rich was brief. and for the most part
devoted to defending the Republican
party against the attacks of Roosevelt.
He began by thanking the convention
and the committee for doing him the
honor Of selecting him TO preside and he
predicted that the Republican county
ticket would be elected by at least 5000
votes.
