TAKE TIME AND CARE

OUR election law makes the business
of voting so difficult to some, that many
ballot is spoiled by too much haste or
too careless handling. Don't be in a hurry
70 get your ballot marked after entering
the voting booth. Take your time.
After you have marked your ballot, be
sure to fold it up in exactly the way it
was folded when handed to you by the
election judge. Many people do not
seem to understand that the law COM
pels the folding OF the ballot that way or
e,se II Is rejected Ii seems a senseless
law, but il is the law, and if you want
your vote counted, fold the ballot as it
was handed you.
Take the time TO go to the election
next Tuesday, and take the pains to so
mark and cast youor vote as that it will
be counted.

AN EDITORIAL ATTITUDE

WHEN the Editor OF this paper an
nounced his candidacy for the State Sen
ate, he Stated in these columns that he
would not employ his newspaper for the
furtherance OF his personal candidacy,
but would try to find other ways of meet
ing the voters. He has endeavored to
hold to that announcement al d asks the
readers OF the WING if he has not done
so.
Our conception of the proprieties of
public journalism has made us feel that
the Editor should not let his pc "onal
candidacy o5trude itself upon his Pc
per's discussion of public affairs-aai to
that line we have tried to cleave.

To the Voters of Cecil County:
In few words | wish 10 state my pur-
pose in seeking your support at the COM
ing election on November 4th. Being 4
native of Cecil county, this is the first
time to appeal to the people of our
county for a pubic office of any kind.
| feel that the time is now at hand
when it is absolutely necessary that an
effort be put forth for reduction in our
taxes and the cur ,ailment of expenses.
This has got to be done at the foundation,
at Annapolis.
Having served the greater part OF my
life in the mercantile business in the
town of Perryville, | have always been
interested in the welfare OF the fisher
men and the waters Interests and feel by
my experience that ! know what these
interests are. | would be only too glad
to help them. Further | wish to state
that | am proud to live in a prohibition
county, having supported the cause at all
times.
While our town Is just one mile from
seventeen joints or places where intoxt-
eating liquors are sold, we naturally see
a great deal of the evil.
If the people of our county will but
give me their support at the coming
election, | assure you l will go to An
napol:s TO do all in my poower for the
hep and advancement OF Cecil county.
Very truly,
MAURICE f. COLE,
Republican Candidate for House of Dele
gates.

THE PRESENCE OF DETECTIVES

THERE is no reason for complaint on
been sent to several points in this
county for this election.
The presence OF the detectives has been
brought about by certain information
| that has come to light as to question
able proceedings in the recent primary
and by advance information as to certain
suspicious proceedings that have been
noted of late.
The presence of detective here and
there will bring no uneasiness OF any
kind to people who conduct themselves
properly. 1t can only be resented by
persons who are violating or who con-
template violating the law. The Corrupt
Practices Act was intended to prevent
elections being carried by a "slush''
fund. A few of our local political work.
ers seem to have forgotten this fact. The
law does NOT permit the unlimited use
of money in the hiring of messengers,
teams, etc., etc. The law does NOT per-
nit the use OF money, whiskey, ETC., to
keep voters from the polls. The law does
NOT permit deals" involving material
promises, etc. The law in a word, aims
to bring about an election that shall re-
cord the untrammelled and unpurchased
judgment of the electorate. That is what
we ought to have. That is what we want.
That is what we are going TO have if
possible. Their is neither sense nor JUS
tice in having that judgment and will
frustrated by a few INSCRIPTIONS poll
teal workers who are wellsupplied with
''slush" funds. 1t is right to prevent 1t.
The public is acting wisely and well
when it takes steps, through it's appoist-
ed officers, to SEE THAT THE LAW is
RESPECTED AND THAT ELECTIONS
HELD UNDER THAT LAW ARE FREE
FROM IMPROPER INFLUENCES AND
PROCEEDINGS.
No right-minded citizen can or will
object,
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1913-11-01
WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT 1T ?

THE man who stays away from next
Tuesdays election, or the man who goes
TO that election to cast 1is vote without
thought or judgment, IS me man who
must have nothing to say hereafter
about the way things go. You are tired
of road engineer law that costs us
thousands of dollars, that leaves our
roads in unbeatable condition, and that
confuses the whole management and di
rection of our county AFFAIR."? You are
tired of seeing public monty wasted on
the extravagant and undesirable build
ing of stone roads? You are tired OF tine
tyranny that puts the people at the
mercy OF road contractors un Ter the
terms of law which outrages every
sense OF justice and public considera-
tion? You are tired of thethousand and
one forms of political graft that insult
and rritate us on every hand?
You are tired of an election law which
is such a piece of monumental folly that
no one attempts to defend it, but which
endures to our everlasting disgust and
irritation because no one vigorously and
determinedy attacks it?
These and lot of other things you
and many of us are tired of-mighty
tired. The ballot is our weapon of de-
tense. The man who does not vote can
not logically complain.
