Republican Lie Nailed.

Mr. Editor:
Certain rumors are in circulation
to the effect that I am in favor and
intend to close the rural schools and
compel all children to attend con-
solidated schools. OF the numerous
towards and falsehoods circulated by
certain people about me and the
schools to get votes, this is-probably
the worst. / am and always have
been favorable to the retention Of the
rural school and since L have been
in office, / authorized the building of
such school at Deep Run and I am
advocating the building Of another
for the colored children at White
Rock. T am not in favor OF closing
rural schools unless the attendance
drops below the legal requirements
and I urge that they be opened again
when the community can show that
it again has sufficient enrolment.
[ believe such schools still con-
tinue to fulfill the demands of the
country districts, but T also believe
that in addition to these local schools
there should be established good
consolidated schools accessible to all
children, who may wish to acquire a
high school education. II want to see
our teachers paid living salary, and
I want to see our schools, both rural
and town schools, furnished with
competent teachers and good equip
ment and our school property put
into good physical condition.
Our teachers salaries are among
the lowest in the State, and many of
our buildings are seriously in need
of repairs and paint. For improve
ment along these lines I stand, and
as long as our people want the rural
school, I am for them. / am very
proud Of the fact that the three-three
program, which 1 was the first to
introduce into the rural schools of
the State has interested people as
far away as the Pacific Coast | be-
lieve much more can be made Of the
rural school than has ever been at
tempted and 7 am giving the greater
part of my time and attention to it,
I am
Very truly yours,

Democratic Leader Points
Out The Lack of Con-
sfructive Legislation
No Problems Solved.

Il ask my Republican opponent"
exclaimed Mr. Richie, at'as I have ask
ed him before in this campaign,
whether he thinks it would have been
better to proceed slowly, in order to
save a few American dollars, at the
expense of the lives of those brave
and heroic soldiers who placed their
bodies between us and the foe?
Which would you have saved, MIR.
Nice, American dollars at the ex-
pense of American lives or American
lives at the expense of American
dollars?
II welcome the contrast between
the Democratic national administra-
ton and the conduct of the present
Republican Congress This Con-
gress has been in session since last
May. 1t was elected upon the pro-
mise by Republican leaders Of effec-,
tive reconstruction legislation, but
what does its record disclose? What
constructive legislation has the Re-
publican Congress enacted? What
acts can they point to as benefitting
the, people of this country or as
approaching a solution of the great
domestic problems which have come
Consider the record of the Re-
publican Congress: Since last May
it has passed a drastic prohibition
enforcement law, vetoed yesterday by
the President, because it forced war
time prohibition upon the country in
time OF Mace. 1t has passed an act
submitting the woman suffrage amend
ment to the Legislatures of the
States; it has passed an act re-
pealing the daylight saving law; It
has passed a law returning the wires
to the companies owning them, as
recommended by the President. This
is the total Of the work done by the
Congress.
What has become of the fine
promises they made to the people
upon which they were elected? How
can they criticize the Democratic
National Administration when it is
they who delay solution of the
great questions which now con-
affect every hosehold in the land as
well as the stability of the nation?
Taking UP State affairs, Mr.. Richie
called attention to the redemption
Of the promises made by the Demo- !
Gratis yin 1915 to institute the budget
system and to encompass other fiscal
Those promises, he show
ed, have been kept, with the result
that, after going into office facing
deficit of $1,500,0OO and undergoing
expenses caused directly ori
indirectly by the war, this State adj I
is closing it's service
with surplus of $750,000.
What have the Republicans to
offer?" asked Mr.. Richie.
And he illustrated what he though |
the Republicans have to offer by re-
ferring to the Broening administra-
ton in the following way:

h A nice present of $4,000 concrete
state aid road has just been present
ed to some one. It's the Oakland
Mills road running between North
Branch and the Melville Wooden
Mills, the latter owned by brother
of Charles W. Melville, Republican
candidate for County Commissioner.
The taxpayers of the county know
just who that road benefits. Was il
an efficiency road? The election of
Evan B. McKinstry as County Com
missioner will mean that the tax
payers money will not be wasted on
roads that only aid a favored few.
Martin D. Hess, Republican candi-
date for County Treasurer, l. rated
as a wealthy man. He receives a
fair salary for his work done and
also % cents for every dog license
issued. All receipts of the Office are
supposed to be included in the annual
not included in the report made last
year by Mr.. Hess. How much were
the dog licenses worth?
On Monday night last in Manches-
Ter 1u0OuOf0 +. tbTO"u, the hGpuUIl-
can candidate for States Attorney,
made a speech during which he is
quoted as saying: Il always did like
the Democrats. + married a Demo-
crat. If she had a vote she would
probably vote the Democratic ticket,
though she might vote for me. But
doubt it. Even she might say that
I may not be qualified for the office"
Has been said that Brother Browns
friends have intimated a trade might
be made with Brown-Democratic
votes in exchange for Republican
votes for the remainder of the Demo-
cratic ticket. May be true.
Carroll county's treasurer is $25
poorer because Martin ID. Hess failed
to file his papers of candidacy for
denomination. Samuel J. Stone, the
Democratic candidate, filed his papers
with the Election Supervisors and
paid his fee though he was unopposed.
Mr.. Hess was named by the Repub-
lican committee and thus deprived
the county of the fee.

Republican was heard to remark, af-.

looks like that To me" HE expressed
the sentiment Of the voters.
w The tax rate IL $1.23. Who made
the tax levy? Did Brown and Hess
make 1T, OF did the County Commits
sioners? We are told that Brown
and Hess, bosses Of such things, set
IL at 1923. And by the way, Mr. Vo-
ter, who is to continue to govern the
affairs OF Carroll county, Brown and
Hess or the County Commissioners?
The voters have their one chance TO

Success OF the Democratic candidates
