there has heen many ups and downs.
With the retirement Of the elder
Streeter the Record was left at
least passive partisan of the eie-
ment that at present dominates our
county government. Many of those
people had supported the former ed
itor in his political career and had
taken advantage of his position in
the county to make medicine for
themselves. 1t has been remarked
that the present Record man has
seen fit to turn down. the men
who furttiered the interests of his
father. The bare facts Of the mat
ter are that they always received
more than they gave in the way OF
favors and the presence of a
straightforward and square-toed
fighter in their camp gave them
strength and kept them within the
bounds ' oi't,cggesty, at the same time.
H. FenoyH to q southern state
freed them from the leash and their
policy grew rapidly from bad TO
worse, the kid editor of the Record
not being the force to be reckoned
with that the elder man had ben.
1t was only a q matter of pure
choice and only after calm delibera-
ton that the Record man mapped
out his course. He honestly be-
lieved that "the gang" was getting
too raw" and he preferred trouble
to the loss of self-respect. His
fight with the powers that be was of
/, bis own making and purely the re-
suit of free choice. They were glad
to have the Record with them. even
if it did no more than keep still and
give them free rein.
Rotten politics are often success
full. But such q fact makes them
none the less rotten. The methods
of the gang in the city election Of
1914 were rotten. Their course tc
date has been of the same calibre
At first, not fearing the Record un.
der youthful management the gang
grinned and went its unrpffied way
Then came the defeat of the king
bee of the bunch for the senate in 8
close fight. From that time the
Record and it's editor was marked

known as Baby Ann Suter, who is now
