The Danube army started its for

26th they crossed the Vedea Cos miles

forced it's way across the Mellow plain
southwest of Bucharest, while the
right wing, keeping level with them,
advanced down the Danube.
on the 27th the Alpine corps had
fought its way out of the Red Tower

day, by exerting their main pressure

Don't Want Political Machine.

The action of Governor Camp bell in vetoing the Highway Bill will not find favor with the peo- pie of this State, especially when It is learned that his objection to the measure was caused by the fact that the legislature named he~highway commission, of which he was to be a mem Der, instead of allowing him the power to name the entire con- mission.
 MT. Campbell was elected to office, not because the people loved him more. but because they loved the Hunt brand of machine politics less. The very fact that he vetoed the Highway Bill because the appoint ting pow CT was not vested in him, makes it clear that the republican party is preparing the way for ma chine politics, a proposition that is certain to become unpopular. Governor Campbell's further contention that he was the only agent in the State who could transact highway business with the Federal government is also wrong. The fact is that when the government accepts a pro- position of road building in con- junction with the State, it does so on 50 50 basis-that is the work must be done under ac- cepted plans and specifications by the government engineer,an the State pays all bills up to the completion of the work. If the work is not accepted by the gov ernment, it will not pay over it's half of the cost. The governor is not consulted in the matter. He has nothing to do with it.. The whole transaction rests with the State engineer or those ap- pointed by the highway commis- sion to carry out the work. What the people of this State want is good roads, not a politi- cal machine, and any delay in | building roads on account of playing politics, will not be tole- rated.
 Road building should begin at once and furnish work to return l ing soldiers and sailors and the men who are losing their jobs in | the mines on account of the over production of copper. and decreased selling price of the red metal. uardian.
