PRETTY POOR POLITICS.

of how TO work to build good roads in this State.
lie would require every contractor give three five
year guarantee for the road he builds Under such conditions the
contractor not likely get his asphalt from makers who

The Governor would have the Highway Department used build
highways though failed provide jobs for politicians and their
friends He would have the inspectors of the department
chosen for what they know about roadmakg
they can do in the way Of delivering votes
All this is revolutionary and puts the State Of New York in
