10 THE DEMOCRATS
OF LINCOLN COUNTY

| | do not believe in any candidate
trying to get into Office by riding a
"hobby." The Office of County Judge
| is very important office, and one in
which each and every tax payer of the
the county is, or should be interest
ed, and a man to fill that office
should be selected because of his
qualification and fitness for the office,
and not because of some insincere
promise or proposition appealing to
any one interest.
! In making my announcement as a
candidate for the democratic nominal
ton for County Judge. l declared
myself in favor of increasing the pay
| for work done on the dirt roads of the
county to rs cents day for a hand
and not less than $500 for wagons
and teams. You will notice that | did
not say that man with a wagon and
team should not be paid more. but
that ''they should not be paid less"
My opponent and friend, T. A. Rice
| declares in his announcement that he
is in favor of paying hands $1.00 and
wagon and teams $500 for each
day. of 10 hours. t-t
Now at the time / made nv an
nouncement l happened to know the
law of our state makes 8 hours a leg
al days work on the public roads,
and my proposition to pay 75c and
$500 for hours work amount to
about the same as Mr. Rice's propo-
sition to pay $1.00 and $500 for 10
hours work. Mr. Rice forgets, or does
not know that a County Judge can
not make, amend or repeal our Stat
ute laws, and if he wants to thus en-
gage, he should be a candidate for the
legislature instead of County Judge
do not pretend to say that IS cents
for man and $500 for man and
team is enough, considering prevail
ing conditions, but | believe that to
be as much as the county can pay
until some means can be devised to
| increase the road funds of our coun-
ty.
If | were County Judge and the
county had the money, would glad
| ly vote as a member of the fiscal
court to pay each man $1.25 and each
man with team $500 for each days
work of 8 hours each, but the finan-
cial condition of our county would
not now justify these prices, and it
would be but piping of hypocrite
and the braying of a demOgogue to
make promises that / could not full
fill. When | was member of the leg
lslature l procured the passage of a
law authorizing the fiscal courts of
the state to furnish tools to be used
on the dirt roads, and if elected
County Judge l will be in favor of
furnishing reasonable number of
! suitable tools to be used on the dirt
roads of our county.
Large sums have been spent in ma
chlnery to be used on the pixies and
L see no good reason why those who
have to keep up the dirt roads should
not be furnished tools to do the
work. The prices paid hands on the
roads are small enough to pay for the
labor alone, without having to fur
nish tools. hope l have made nv DO
sition on the road question clear.
Your truly,
M. F. NORTH.
