SOCIALIST VOTE
PAVED WAY FOR
WORLD CONFLICT

MADISON. Wis, Dec. 1.-THE So
cialists OF Germany sold out to the
Kaiser in 1913 and are directly re-
sponsible for the great war. They
voted for the 1913 German war budget
upon the promise Of the Kaiser and
the German war lords that the high
taxes consequent upon it should be
laid upon the wealthy classes of Ger
many. That war budget enabled Prus-
sian junkerdom to put the capstone
upon its war preparation structure.
And by this act German Socialists not
only violated the cardinal principles
Of socialism and internationalism but
forfeited all right TO consideration by
Socialists. workmen. and economic
radicals throughout the world.

These are conclusions reached by

NOT MASTERED, IS.
, VIEW OF ENGLAND

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE continued
successes of the German submarines
emphasize on the British mind the
Importance OF speeding up shipbuild-
ing in England and America. Since
England alone is not able to turn
out sufficient ships to replace all
submarine losses, she is looking to
America TO keep up the tonnage.
The submarine menace is held. but
not mastered, according to a state
ment by Sir Eric Geddes, first lord
Of the admiralty. "Our shipbuilding
IS not yet replacing our losses" he
said.
Germany, It is said, has today more
powerful submarines in service than
at any time since she began her ruth
less campaign last February.
''The enemy is trying to make a
coup. which will incline us to peace" :"
stated one high military authority
here.

To The People of
Dorchester County

Owing 10 some reports that | have
heard recently are being circulated,
think it proper 10 make statement
! concerning some affairs connected
with the Treasurers office. When
was elected, nearly four years ago
. the taxes We're collected by men ap
pointed for each district; | was ther
allowed Il deputy at a salary of 500
! q year. The Act of the Legislature
! of 1914 authorized ana directed the
! County Treasurer TO collect the taxes
! and allowed him to appoint a clerk
to be approved by the County Com
/ missioners, at d salary of $500 a
year; also a stenographer for the
work of the entire office.
! The commissions PAID 20 the tax
! collectors for collecting taxes only
| in 1914 was $5,0S2; this does not in
! clude the amount paid for the as
sessing of new property. which is
! about the same under the new syS-
TEN. From this it will be seen that
while there was a saving of $4,000,
the allowance for Clerk hire was cut
I down 500, Notwithstanding the fact
that the work was increased three
fold.
This law also provided for fees in
/ the sale of property for taxes. The
Treasurer was allowed $3 in sales OF
real estate. and soc. in sale of per
sonal property. This was intended
TO cover extra clerical work in get
ting up the lists, and other work in
connection with the sale. The cOun-
sci in the case was allowed Il fee not
to exceed $50. These fees We're in
tended to cover work connected with
making sale. as the law allowed no
other compensation than the liked
salary for the Treasurer.
In most cases the fee allowed did
not cover the expense of work, as it
has been necessary to employ clerks
from time to time to assist in getting
up This work.
During my term | have not ap-
pointed any clerk in the office, as the
appointments were made solely by
the County Commissioners.
The making of sales of property
for taxes was d very unpleasant duty
for me. but ii was required by law.
and my sworn duty. No official in
Dorchester county has worked in his
office more regularly than | have, as
can be proved by those persons who
visit the office daily.
| am. as is known to everyone,
candidate for denomination, and l
earnestly solicit the support of all
Democrats in the Primaries to be
held next Tuesday. | have endea-
vored honestly and faithfully 10 per
from the duties of my Office, and if
renominated, | believe the experience
acuujred durinp the mast fOur wears

The war in which We are now en-

heard some say that We are loyal all
right, but we ought not to send our
troops abroad, but await the enemy
on our shores. Those who reason
thus do not rightly conserve either
the dignity or destiny of our nation.
This nation of ours cannot sit idly
