Communicated.

Deer Mr.. Eddytur:
bin goin to rite you letter
fur long time to tel you jist what
! think about pollyticks in gineral,
and more pertickler here in cecil
county, and what / think Of these
here peepul who are findin faults
with the candydates, and sayin OF
as how they amt goin to support
them.
/ bin a layin low and listnin to
what they hev to say and l am jist
rot up to SIGH pitch by the durn
fules that l made UP my mind fur
to Civ them a fue inside facts on
the pollyticks in this county.
bin talkin to some of my
pollytishun trends down aroun Elk
ton, and 1t seems these durn VIM
min votin has got the hole thing
SO muddles up that the pollytishuns
cant figger on nothin. You knows
as how wimmin is alters tryin to
clean up" things, and now they
hev taken it into their heads to
clean up pollyticks in this here
county.
My darter, Mary Ann, as has bin
a tendin of these here SEWN sirckles
and mishunary meetins says as how
the wimmin all say they no a thing
or two about pollyticks, and as how
the men are figgerin on the vim
min votin jist like their husbands
and fathers, and the wimmin they
are, all latin in their sleeves and a
sayin as how they are doin their
own thinkin, and that they think a
fue peepul will be surprised when
the votes are kounted after the pri-
mary
l was a talkin to my friend Bill
tother day, and he ses as how he
amt goin to vote for, a lot of these
here men who hev bin holdin offus
SO mulch. He SEES as how he thinks
sum new men should hev a chants
to see how they cud run things, and
the burned old fule even went so
far as to say if these old offus hold
ers got the nommynashun thet he
fur one would not vote fur them.
SEES that bunch down at EIlxton has
had enuff, and that all they no how
to do is eat often the poilytickle
tabul SEES they jist depend on tibet
for Twin and don't do nothin else.
The burned old fule jist talked like
one of these Bulshevickers.
SEES to him, SEES I, now where kin
you find better, offisur than Yves
McAllister. Yves hes had lot of
experients and he nos jiA how
things OF to be dun. He nos all
about the maxim out Of the bills,
which is the most importentest
thing in the sherif's offus, and the
next most importanest thing is to
hev trends in the county commish-
uners offus who VII tend to the pay
in of the bills, and amt Urv Griffith
rite there with the goods. What
better TEEN cud anyone want than
Yves to make the bills and Urv to
pay them. Peepul hev said that
little Seth man OF never to hev been
elleckted sheriff, but after Yves
showed him how to make out the
bills he has bin gettin along all rite.
Now Urv amt he'd quite as mulch
experients as Yves, but hes willin to
be eleckted agin. and Urv is a man
the county cant do without, fur list
look how he kin deliver the votes
down in the secund deestrick.
With SIGH good men as Ury and
Yves a willin to hold the offisus, and
a havin all the experients SO they
no how to run them, cant see the
sents in trying to eleckt new men
who don't no nuthin about them.
There's that little man Rufe Bow
land, who has bin in the offisus
there at Elkton all his life, and |
don't he come rite out in letter in
the papers and admit as how he is
the best candidate that kin be put
up for Register Of Wills, and he tells
about how the bizness of the offus
has increast sints he went in offus,
which shos the peepul are so tick
led with him that they are dyin jist
so he kin register their wills. And
he tells of how faithful he hes bin
a lookin after the widders and the
osfuns and givin his persunnal at
tenshun to the offus. and l no it is
true, for he has a CURL in his offus
a dom of the work and q bein paid
a salary by the taxpayers. while he
is out walkin around lookin fer
more wills fer tibet there gal in his
Office to register. And he SEES as
how one term Of six years amt enuif
