REPUBLICAN P. MS
PLAYING POLITICS
Illinois congressman Tell Will
son They Are Taking Active
Part in Congressional EIeC-
ton Plans.

WASHINGTON, July S1.-Charges
of incompetency and of pernicious
political activity against the majority
of the third and fourth class post
masters of Illinois were STought to the
attention of Pres. Wilson wednesday.
He was asked to institute an imme-
date investigation.
The charges were brought TO the
executive Offices by a congressional
delegation composed of Reps. Foster,
Graham, Baltz. Hill and Fowler.
They were accompanied by State
Sen. Kent E. Keller, who acted as
spokesman.
Keller alleged that practically aft
of the third and fourth class republic
can postmasters in Illinois are actively
working to defeat the sitting demo-
cratic representatives from the state
at the congressional election of 1914.
Their activity, he declared. was of the
pernicious character which is prOhib-
tied by the civil service rules.
The president was asked to nave
the postmaster general detail . force
of at least 20 p~ostofice inspectors to
probe the administration of the small
er pOstOftices. He stated that he
would consider the request.
In support of the charges, Keller
cited a case in his own district. He
said that Is days before his last cleo
ton he mailed through his district
autographs of himself and important
political documents. but that delivery
in most cases was held up by the
postmasters until after election.

THINK OF THIS

LET this statement sink into youl
thought 1t is specific case taken from
the personal experience OF the WHlG's
Editor. Paying his taxes recently on a
amounted in the sum total to $S720. This
tax on THE SAME AMOUNT OF AS
SESSED PROPERTY IN CECIL COUNTY
AMOUNTED TO $1,000, or half as much
again. This is, of course, no exceptional
experience EVERY man tor every man
is in some form and in the last analysis
a taXpayer) feels the same burden OF eX-
cessive taxation; until we realize the
right of the people 10 cry aloud for some
relief. Taxation is at the very basis of a
peoples prosperity and cOntentment
Our revolutionary sres flew to arms ra-
Their than endure the imposition OF an

with its awful tragedies, was the peoples

able taxation arising from unbounded
governmental extravaganza. Excessive
unjust taxation is "A cruel form of tyran-
ny, which no people should endure tame
ly. Our waepon of defense is the ballot

THE PEOPLE KNOW

IF this county does not wake up to the
fact that between one thing and another
the management OF its affairs is reduced
TO well nigh nothing, il is going to
wreck in the very near future,
Wednesdays storm destroyed the
bridge over the Big Elk on the Elkton-
Newark road AND DESTROYED IT Be
CAUSE THE BRIDGE WAS IN \ DAN
GERoUsLY FRAIL CONDITION. 1t had
been so reported again and again by peo-
pie who had observed it. But either no
one could, or no one would, remedy il;
when few dollars might have done so.
Thousands of dollars will now be need
ed to replace the bridge--and that with
in few hundred yards of the spot at
which the county had $l2,UoO OF its money
dumped into the river at the Ricketts,
mill crossing, by rottenly incompetent
management. There are other places in
this county, where dangerous conditions
prevail in our bridges and roads, but
no remedy is forthcoming
In the face OF these facts at which the
peoples blood fairly boils, our neigh5oc
up the street complacently urges every
Democrat to get behind the party candi-
dates and give them an old time major
ity."
What the people OF this county intend
to do is to give them a good lickins,
until they learn that what the people
want is not so much party majority"
economical management of their affairs

WHICH Is IMPORTANT

WE urge the people of this county to
get their minds clear and we'll settled as
to what it is that supremely concerns
them in the election of legislative
ticket this Fall. Some of our local De-
mocratic politicians are making frantic
efforts to confuse the situation They
are trying to make you believe that it is
of utmost Importance for YOU to vote
the ticket" What they really mean is
that it is OF utmost Importance for THEM
for their political control and their
portance to Us, THE PEOPLE, is to vote
for our own interest, our own deliverance
from the burdens that so heavily and
scandalously Cypress us. The politicians
have had things THEIR way so long that
We are loaded down with legislation in
this county, which ought to go to the junk
heap. And that is where We want to
send it. Which is more important TO
YOU, my friend, TO vote the way the poll
| teal jobber asks you to vote, or to vote
yourself clear OF the engineer law?
OF course, these Democratic place-hunters
are telling us loudly enough now days
that THEY are against the road engineer
law, too. But THEY PUT HE LAW
ON Us, THEY HAVE KEPT IT ON Us,
AND NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT
TAKING IT OFF Us, until they found the
people We're so bitterly against it thai
they were afraid of their political lives

| in fight until he sees which way the

/ Or take another Illus ration. There is
| on FOOT in this State scheme to tighten
the tax rate in Baltimore City by dump

Isn't the tax burden in this county al
ready heavy enough without adding to it
! by any such scheme? Now which is the
| more important to you to vote the
| ticket" or to vote for your own proicc-
| ton against such a scheme?
We cannot think the people will let
the political schemers lead them around
| by the nose any longer. We have suffer
ed enough for the sake of playing some
| body else's political game. 1t is high
| time we were looking out for ourselves
VOTE FOR MEN WHO WILL LOOK OUT
FOR Us. Men who can be trusted to

of this death in taxation and bad admin
stration.

producing that editorial. Read it and
see if you don't say Amen" Here are
the Stars words;
Ever since the Democratic party be-
gan to assume too intimate relations with
the elective franchise, broods of pesky
technicalties have been coming forth
Changing the metaphor, we assert that
a cumbersome, complicated and expen-
sive piece of election machinery has
been built up, that is as far from re-
cording the real intent of the electorate
as it is possible to be. In fact, so far
it is from being simple, truthful and
honest way of recording the popular
will, that no man, however intelligent
and capable he may be, can have any
reasonable degree of certainty that the
vote he casts will be recorded as legal.
The primary election law, in SO far
as its original intent is concerned, is a
farce of the first class. 1t were bet
ter to repeal it, and go back to the old
convention plan, than to retain it on the
statute books.
The general election law isn't much
better, and needs thorough overhauling.
1t seems that the more safeguards to
prevent crookedness' that have been
tackled on to the election laws, the fur
about a true record of the intent OF
voters"
