| an, in receipt of letter signed BY
number of tlrt leading representa-
tive people of Oakland, inviting me
as well as others from this section of
Garrett county to be present on Tues
day, February Bird, 1920, for the pur-
pose of discussing how or by what
methods to pursue to raise the sala-
rles of the school teachers of Garrett
county and build a number of school
houses; and the road proposition is in
cluded in the list for discussion.
wrote an article in the early part of
the summer of 1919, setting out in
detail the conditions our county is
drifting into, and in that article pro-
posed a bond issue sufficient to cover
all of the needs Of Garrett county for
quite number of years to come. |
had expected the bond issue to be one
OF the questions propounded to all the
candidates for the Legislature-I had
expected that to be the main isue.
Did any of your hear it mentioned?
l asked few of them what they
thought Of it, and they quickly re-
plled that they dare not advocate any,
thing that would have tendency to
raise the taxes Of the. people of the
county, or they would not be heard Of
after the primary; and it did look to
me as though it was of no use to
make the bond bill an issue when the
slogan Of Mr.. John Shartzer in all his
circulars sent out, all his political ad-
vertisements, and all of his speeches
was, that he would, if elected. in
crease the salaries Of the school teach
ers, would build new school houses
where needed in the county, put a
teacher in every school house. and
lower the taxes of the people of the
county.
Mr.. j. c. Kendall plunged in dur
ing the campaign and in his speeches
sanctioned what Mr.. Shartzer had
put before the people and said, "elect
me and Mr.. Shartzer and we will do
it."
Mr.. Shartzer was going to get the
money by stopping a 'hole" at the
Court House.
Now, it shows from the election re-
turns that the majority of the peo-
pie of Garrett county had confidence
in them (Mr. Shartzer and Mr.. Ken
dalD and that they would do as prom
Used, or, in other words, make their
prediction promises good.
Now, won't you give them a chance
to do it? Don't you want that 'leak"
at the Court House stopped that Mr..
Shartzer promised to stop, and save
the taxpayers so much money? Why
do we want to jump in ahead of him
now and interfere with his plans of
making his promises good Hundreds
of the county people believe that he
is going to make every promise good
and |, for one, want to give him a
chance to do it.
If he can put teacher in every
school house in the county and give
them increased salary, build all nee
essary school buildings, give US bet
ter roads and lower the taxes of the
people Of Garrett county, then l will
shout "hurrah for Mr.. Shartzer, the
taxpayers friend"
Now, you Oakland fellows, don't 20
too fast at this bond issue business
give Mr.. ShartZer q chance. You peo-
pie at that place had quite a bit to do
with his election. Now give him a
chance to make his promises good.

TIE PEOPLES FORuM.


This Correspondent Voted for Mr..
Sh2rtzer and Mr.. Kendall Because
OK their Platform Promises and
Now Wants Them Fulfilled.
To the Editor OF The Republican
f I enclose with this letter an arti-
Gle from the pen OF Mr.. Henry NJ.
Speicher, Of Accident, which appeared
in last weeks Mountain Democrat.
and which l would like you to publish
so that many Republicans who sup
ported Mr.. Shartzer and Mr.. Kendall
in the recent election expecting them
to carry out to the letter their plat
form promises, may have the oppor-
tunity of reading it. AS one who sup
ported both Messrs. Shartzer and
Kendall, both as Republican and re-
lying upon their promises to do the
things they have pledged themselves
to do, l shall be greatly disappointed
if they fail in any particular, for, as
we all know things will be in better
condition if our legislators will do as
we expect them to do and which they
have pledged their honors to carry
out. | believe Mr. Shartzer's plan to
raise the salaries Of the school teach
ers of the county, build roads and do
other things which we are sorely in
need of in Garrett county and yet not
increase the tax rate, can be done if
they are not interfered with. | have
always had explicit faith in Nh. Shart-
ger, and still have, and until he fails
in making his every promise good
shall retain my good opinion of him.
MIR. Shartzer must remember, how
ever, that he has a number of enc
mics in Garrett county and his every
move will be watched very zealously
by those who oppose him.
Mr.. Speicher's letter, above REL
ferred, l attach.
Very truly yours,
One Who Voted for Mr.. Shartzer and
Mr.. Kendall Fully Expecting them
to Carry out Their Platform Prom
ises for Retrenchment.

The application Of martial law
which IS so often talked of is a simple
matter. Under the defence Of The
Realm act, still III force, it can be ap-
piled to any extent anywhere in
ireland. It's general application to
the whole country il all it's complete
ness is, | believe, not contemplated.
But nearly al districts have had it
partially applied in some form, and
some districts have had it fully ap-
rIied. At the moment it is only in
partial application anywhere.
IN Dublin it IS manifested prinC.-
pally in the curfeW law which has had
but little effect on the life of the city.
But it's drastic application in certain
districts is a possibility Of the immel-
late future. VIXEN applied a couple
of years ago in Clare it reduced the
whole area to an apparent quiet, and
disturbance only became possible
after its removal. All activity was
dependent on the permission Of the
military commander, and the whole
business of buying and selling at fairs
and markets was controlled, and IN
some cases entirely stopped. Any
fresh application of martial law is
likely to be of this kind, and to. be con-
tired IN Dor+ic7lI9r areas

written by John Faith and comprised
a number Of treatises on religious and
other matters. Strange to say, Faith
