WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?

The Federal Law requires all candi-
dates for the U. S. Senate to file their
expense account to date with the Sec
rotary of the United States Senate, 10
days prior to the primary election. In
accordance Herewith DR.. France filed
his expense account on Friday of last
week. Mr.. Go!dsborough, on the other
hand, forwarded statement that he
had received nothing and spent moth
ing up to that time for which he must
account under the Federal law. We
do not know what Interpretation Mr..
Goldsborough puts on the intent or
language of the law. He certainly
cannot mean that he has received
nothing and spent nothing, for he has
been conducting for weeks a campaign
in which there has been involved a
tremendous expense account. We shall
therefore await with interest the in
depreciation of the Federal law as 20
the filing of expense accounts by can
didates.

TO Cecil Republicans

| have learned that some of the
Goldsborough supporters in this
county are spreading around the state
inert that D'. Joseph Irwin Frar:, /,
not resident of Cecil county. In re-
ply l say that DR.. France is and has
been resident and voter of this
county for more than fifteen years.
He and his wife "a native of Cecil
county, spend few months each year
(for some years past) in Baltimore,
but their deepest interests and dear
est home life are in their Cecil resi-
dence, near Port Deposit.
The charge that DR.. France is not
Cecil countian is not only untrue but
comes in bad form in face of the fact
that he has been State Senator from
this county and has always been ac-
lively interested in supporting and
helping elect our local Republican can
didates.
The people of this county recognize
DR.. France as one of our best citizens
and the Republicans know he has been
one Of cur best friends. The Colds
borough Office holders who are trying
to capture Cecil for Goldsborough will
hardly help that cause by circulating
such stories as the above.

Political Agent for DR.. Joseph I.

NOT FOR SALE

There are abundant evidences of the
fact that the Goldsborough campaign
is being supplied with unlimited guam
titles of money. Nobody. of course,
can say definitely where that money
comes from, such things are generally
kept in the dark. 1t Is generally be-
lieved, in quarters where such things
are apt to be traced down, that GER
tain corporations are furnishing the
funds. But. be that as it may, the
fact remains that the Goidsborough
campaign has been, and is. one Of
lavish expenditure. We do not know
whether or not this can account for
the very unusual zeal and activity Of
certain Goldsborough advocates in
Elkton. The point to which we want
to call attention is the confidence of
some of the Goldsborough forces that
the Republican party in Maryland can
be bought.
We do not want to think that it
can; because if We were compelled to
come to such belief We should feel
forever disgraced as a member Of
that party. We hope and believe the
Republican party is made of better
stuff. The mere fact that the Colds
borough campaign is spending great
sumo of money does not prove that It
is getting the credited results. There
are, of course, in this State, as in
others. many purchasable voters. But
there are also many-a great major
ity, We believe-voters who cannot be
purchased, and upon them depends
the welfare and permantncy OF our
Republican institutions.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1916-04-29
NOT SURPRISING

The collapse of the Goldsborough
campaign is nothing more than we ex-
pected. Mr.. Goldsborough had no
strength with his party when he start
ed out to get the nomination for U. S.
Senator. He had nothing but the sup
port of few personal friends and of
the gentlemen whom he had appointed
to public office. Through these chan
nels. along with a large supply of
money, he has tried to capture the
Senatorial nomination and continue
his lifelong record of Office holding.
But the party would not respond and
we are not surprised to hear that the
Goldsborough campaign is virtually
collapsed in every quarter of the State.
Here in Cecil, some of our local Re
pub!icans have tried to befog the issue
and have to some extent succeeded.
They will insist on trying to beat Dr..
France next Monday. for reasons that
do not sound well in the telling and
which We prefer to not repeat. We
hardly think the Republicans of the
county will be led astray by such tao
tics. Our Cecil Republicans will
doubtless insist on doing the right and
proper thing on Monday by giving Dr..
France fine vote in his own county.
Then, when that is over. they will
probably wallop Senator Williams the
very first chance they get-for which
We cannot blame them, as Senator
Williams (who is likewise the WHIG'S
EDITOR deserves the very most and
worst that can be done to him.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1916-04-29

He stands unidentified with any fac
tional controversy or difference. A
United and whole-hearted Republican
party may take it's stand behind DR..
France after he has earned the dis
tinction of being the candidate of his
party for election to the United States
Senate.
A further consideration in behalf
of the candidacy of DR.. France is his
ability to consolidate the Progress
sives with the Republican voters.
There is no doubt entertained as to
his ability to do this. And here in
Maryland, where every vote counts,
concededly a doubtful state, it is of
great Importance to the party to Sc
cure the services of a man who can be
relied upon to bring to him the votes
of the Progressives. DR.. France is
Republican who attracts rather than
repels. The confidence felt in him is
unreasonable.
The Republican party looks to the
control of the country. 1t believes it
to be its duty to supplant the recreant
Democrats. And there are many
Democrats who sympathize with this
view, here in Maryland.
Do the Republicans Of Maryland
realize that upon the selection of
senator from this state may hinge the
complexion of the Senate after
March a? Do they appreciate that
Republican chosen from Maryland
may hold the balance of power? Yet
this is so, and it adds emphasis to the
varied reasons for giving support to
DR.. Joseph |. France. Let him be the
choice of the voters for reasons of
victory"

Peoples Column

Mr.. Editor:
The editorials in last weeks issue
of The Cecil Wing hit the nail, square

The whole trouble in the Republican
party of Cecil county, at this time,
really is due to two or three Colds
borough office-holders of Elkton, who
have been sucking the party teat for
that the supply of party pap" to their
stomachs is about to be cut off.
Nobody, in fact, has had very much
thought of this, but that is what they
think.
was.in Elkton few days ago and
one of these office-holders said to me
that "they are after my hearts blood"
no doubt meaning pap.
And therefore it is that these office
holders have. for several weeks, been
running up and down Cecil county, as
though their lives were at stake, hold
ing midnight. cheek-by- jowl meetings
assisted by colored preacher. in an
automobile, and making frantic ap-
peals to secure votes against DR..
France, perfectly upright and cap
able gentleman of our own county,
and in favor of Ex-Governor Colds
borough, who belongs to another
county, who has held public office ha f
of his life time and who is responsible
for signing the act that imposed on
this section of our State the infamous
race-track, now in full swing at Havre
de Grace-an infamy that has done
and is doing more to corrupt and ruin
the young men-yes, and the young
women-of this county than anything
since the outlaw racing went on at
E!kton.
wonder if it is possible for the
people of this county to forget the
shame and ruin and sorrow and dis
grace that followed in the wake of
that outlaw racing in ElktOn?
And, if they have not forgotten and
if they still remember the work and
tot! that was necessary to get rid Of
that outlawry at Elkton, they surely
will not vote, on Monday next, for
Colds borough TO have another and a
higher office-the man who, by his
signature. has brought back to this
end of the State-at Havre de Grace

more dangerous and corrupting race

STILL AT LIE

The Godsborough campaign week

George M. Evans, is out again. 1t is
largely reprint of the stuff it pub
lished last week. The only new mat
ter consists in lot of wild fabrica-
tons about the many Offices for which
F. E. Williams has been an applicant.
If F. E. Williams ever applied for any
appointment to any public office at
any time in his life, he don't know It.
But this story about Williams is mild
and inoffensive compared to some If

done on DR.. France-and certainly
France has not offended. except in
yielding to the demand of his party

he should become the harmony" can

PRETTY COOL

So far as We can discover the Colds
borough support in this county is con-
fined almost exclusively to a few Elk
ton Republicans who have used the
party for their personal ends and have
given the party little or nothing in re-
turn by way of service and support
The very most active local Goldsbor-
oughite is gentleman who has not
turned his hand to help the party in
its local or state contests for years.
And yet this fellow talks about the
men who are supporting DR.. France
as those who have stood by with cold
indifference while the true Republi-
cans of the county have battled with
the common enemy" Have those of
US who are today supporting DR..
France been coldly indifferent to Re-
publican success? Have we done moth
ing in the battle against the common
enemy? What an insult that is to
the men in this county who have for
years been the real workers for the
party. Do these Goldsborough advo
Gates expect the real Republican work.

PARTY VICTORY WITH FRANCE

Nothing more certainly indicates
that the Republican party in this
State is back of DR.. Frances candi-
dacy than the fact that on Monday the
Baltimore American-the one great
Republican daily in the State-came
OFT in ringing editorial for France
under the heading:
PARTY VICTORY WITH FRANCE
The Americans reasoning is so
clear and convincing that we herewith
quote it in part as follows:
Victory was never more alluring
and never more assured for the Repub-
lican party in the senatorial contest
than at present, provided the party
shall lay aside all consideration save
that of availing itself of the candidacy
of the man who stands closest to Ger
tification of success in advance. A
calm. dispassionate survey of the
political situation for the Republicans
of the state causes the figure of DR..
Joseph |. France to stand out in the
pr lltical perspective as the man of
destiny. The personality of DR.. France
appeals to those who know him. He
has the stamp of senatorial dignity
anu CdpdDl!lly III ulSpOSlJlOIl ne is
generous and earnest. His talents
are those that native worth. intellec-
tual ability and culture bestow. In
all the facts of his personality Dr..
France can bear the closest scrutiny
and no one will say of him that he has
temperamental defects or character
discounts. He is high-minded and ac-
tive and devoted to the interests of
his party, his state and the nation.
The party asks more of its candi-
date, howeevr, than personality. 1t
asks power. If DR.. France were not
the most potent candidate for the
honors of his party, he would not win
upon his graciousness or his correct
department. He stands today as a
man of singular attainment He pos
sesses the elements that should draw
the voters to him and cause them to
register in his behalf record vote of
endorsement. DIR. France is absolute
ly free from the trammels of faction.

UNPLEASANT BUT NECESSARY.

We have at last learned the reason
for Mr.. H. M. McCullough's sudden
and violent attitude of luminosity to
the WING and its Editor. Through
the Summer and Fall of last year the
WING was republishing from the
Baltimore Sun series of articles on
waste in the State Government. In
the course of that series one of the
articles discussed the useless multi
p.ication of jobs as legal counsel to
the State Boards, and amongst other
cases pointed out was that of H. NJ.
Mccullough, ESQ.,, who was made by
Governor Goldsborough assistant
counsel" to the State Board Of Health
at salary of $1,000 per year, when
the State Board of Health had no
more use for an assistant counsel than
it had for a box of monkeys. Mr. Nc
Cullough, so We have been informed,
took great offense at the said publ
cation.
Our only reply is that We cannot, in
running a newspaper, make flesh If
one and fish of another. Our state
ment of the facts was perfectly cor
rect and Mr.. Mccullough does not
dispute that correctness. His only
resentment, it appears. comes from
the fact that we published the facts.
But that, We think, is the business Of
newspaper. We especially think it
the business of paper like the WING
to give to the people all the accurate
information it has as to the waste of
the peoples money. People who par
ticipate in that waste and who are the
