Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1919-10-31
loyal Democrats of this District hue

to their bos0mS an oDJect OF Sucn dl5"
loyalty? Will they not administer a
rebuke justly deserved to the man
who has been guilty of these things?
May they not, when asked to vote for
so unworthy candidate, reply, is
thy servant a dog that he should do
such a thing?"
The case of Professor Jordan need
in no sense rest on his doubtful De-
mocracy alone 1t is plain he is I'M
safe. He is out to win, and when he
has succeeded he will, unless all signs
fail, administer the same dose to the
Democrats he handed the Republic
cans who elected him four years
ago, and who thought they had found
in him a Moses. Yet with them he
seems to have violated every pledge.
He finds them too weak to push him
further up the ladder, hence his de-
|sertion.
The question which no Democrats
and few citizens of the County can
answer is, What do the people of
Augusta owe Jordan, and what in
Heavens name does the Democratic
party owe him?" He has provenhim-
self unworthy of the confidence of
Iall, and for this alone his treachery
should be rebuked, and scouraging
administered he can never forget.

Editor of the Recorder:
That Highland county is to have a
frst-class state road running through
it is because of Senator G. T. Jordan's
able presentation Of the facts" and
eloquent appeals to the committee.
This is the language of a member of
the committee that decided the mat
ter and persons who heard the speech
es affirm that his tribute to the peo-
pie of Highland was of the very high
est order, Highland county gets the
road because Senator Jordan COULD
SPEAK AND DID SPEAK for her,
and are the people of Highland to
turn him down for q stranger who
cannot speak for himself. Every
section Of the State wanted the mon
ey that will be spent to build that
road and it was great undertaking
to land it for the county.
Senator Jordan's work for the tenn
perance cause, if properly followed
up, means that Highlands great high
way will be free from drunken au-
tomobile drivers and a safe pla~3 for
the good citizens of the county 20
drive on. Think of how dangerous
it would be il there should be any re-
Taxation in the temperance laws and
the road filled with cars driven by
drunken men.
These two achievements of Senator
Jordan will do more for our people
than all the petty politicians have
done since the county was establish
ed. Turn out and vote for him. The
road benefits all alike whether DEM
ocrats or Republicans. Let all show
their appreciation. A Voter
