Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1921-02-10

The Record had no desire to keep
up any protracted newspaper discus
sion with man repudiated fer Office
q man whose writing would indicate
I'm to be almost irrational in his
thinking.
Last weeks local league organ car
RES an. article, much of which is q
lie. and considerable Of which is pa:e
nonsense. The purported figures ii
bridges, road work and right-of-way
are purposely intended to mislead the
public, and they refer to two entirely
different roads, one running north and
south and the other east and west.
The east and west road was built at a
different time entirely. If the
league bunch are attacking duHeaume
simply for getting bridge and road
work done, let them compare his share
of the work with that of Matthews.
Let them compare the price paid Ba-
der for the grading under discussion
with the price paid in Matthew'S dis
trict, and the latter will be found to
be almost one-third higher. The
work in duHeaume's district was not
done on his say-so, but after personal
examination by other members Of the
board. McConville was particularly
strong for it, as it fixes up a road
leading to his part of the county.
And Lynn was states attorney all
the time this work was being done,
and only broke into print after the
voters tied a can to him as state s
attorney. It's funny that Lynn
breaks nut with a grand desire to save
the taxpayers money every time he
gets skinned for Office. After Cam
eron beat him, he started out to save
tn county alleged thousands due from
Hackney -Boynton people, got elected
and the money failed to materialize.
Now, Charlie Coventry has beaten
him, and he is out to save some more
money for the county.
As to the Records bill for printing,
the Free Press article again lies. The
bill was not for identical printing al
all. Look up the files of the papers,
Mr.. Lynn, and you may be able to
discern a difference. Further, the
Free Press had nothing coming and
and tried to collect 5000. 70. Even
Matthews and McConville didn't try to
register vote in favor of it. The
law sets the price for legal printing,
and the files of the Record will show
the work done. If Mr.. Lynn will
kindly take the trouble to do little
figuring, he can determine for him.
self whether or not the Records bill
was correct. Mr.. Lynn once before
discovered something he didn't like
about the Records printing bill. He
got the commissioners to turn il
down. Later, in district court we
received judgment against the coun.
ty for the full amount Of our claim
costs and accrued interest On same.
Remember that, Mr.. Lynn.
As far as saving the county funds
from being squandered, Mr.. Lynn
you have some record yourself. The
bunch of phony lawsuits you have
been instrumental in foisting on the
county, not including the fake raids
mentioned heretofore, would repre-
sent tidy sum.
With the above remarks, we hereby
affirm our intention to refuse to waste
further space on you, Mr.. Lynn, un.
less you can dig up something in the
way of direct charge that requires
an answer. The voters of this coun'
ty have helped you to retire to politi'
cal oblivion after a long checkerei
political career. And there is no rea.
son why we should not allow you t
rest peacefully in said oblivion.
