Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1914-11-12

Already the effects OF the recent
election are being shown to the peo-
pie of Linton. The "wide-npen'
policy which pulled through in the
recent campaign IL on in fuli blast
and the most unheard-of acts of
dirty work are the result.
As an opponent to filth. corrup-
ton and rottenness IN politics and
the political ways of some poll
ticians. the Record is being singled
out to bear the bfunt of the filthy
Vaccinations at some Of The hefouled
brains that assisted in making
crooked politics q winner in the last
election
Twice since election has the Rec
ord been visited by some of the car
rion that follow close in the wake
of the political vullures that LIay
upon the bouZe elements of COM
munity. First. right after cleo
ton, while the result was yet in
doubt, the frs, visitation from the
contemplate cou ards came when
the front door Of the Record office
was besmearen with filth such as
the offenders are no doubt in the
habit Of dwelling amidst. Little
attention was paid to the sneaking
manner in which some filthy cur or
ours proposed to inform the Record
man of their displeasure, it then
appearing probable that the act was
hut the result of some drunken orgy
since big bully had the night he
fore been in the Record Office at
tempting in a drunken. maudlin
way TO pick quarrel with the
writer. He had been promptly
thrown out bodily. as he deserved,
with the injunction to come around
when he got sober if he wanted to
start something. But again Satur-
day night the same trick was played
and it then became apparent that
this filthy method was being EN-.
played in systematic matter to in
form the writer that filth was a
winner and that filthy methods
would prevail.
And IN closing. the writer wishes
to firmly place himself on record as
being bound fast and tight to the
task of staying in the game until
law and order is again recognized in
this town and in this county and
until sucE time as the sworn Of
ticials of enforcement are ready and
willing tn make good their oaths
and until people can live in this
tom without being subjected to the
nauseons experiences of the present
and until the punllc officials of en-
fotcemrnt are not the first to make
tn" public streets uncomfortable for
children. women and even men who
claim any connection with deccncy
and order.
Undoubtedly the gang element in
this town and, through it. the
county has thrown down the
gauntlet, for such filth should right
fully he their gauntlet. If such is
the case, the writer will gladly take
up the fight. 1t has just begun. 1t
will continue until candidates for
the offices Of states attorney,
sheriff. city mayor and city attor-
ney will come out openly and above
hoard in favor Of law and order and
will actually attempt in some small
degree to earn the money which they
secure with their respective nosi-
tions.
II is time the blind-piggers and
the Dindpigging elements should
go. The writer is the last man on
earth to object to individuals drink
ing their beer in gentlemanIy
and quiet manner. But il is ever
thus: Give the buns and hangers
on and the elements that thrive up
on them an inch and they will take
mile.
Whether he be drinking man or
an abstainer, it behooves each and
every one from his own respective
point of view o see that public con-
ditions get better instead of rottener
as the days go by. Else, the reac-
ton will sweep all before it.
