THE CANDIDATES ARE OFF

TIE IHINCICNi 20 Nhe ~
If the interest shown by voters of
McConnellsville at the opening cam
paign meeting of the county at that
place Wednesday is to be taken as an
indication of the interest that Is to
prevail at the several meetings, then
the candidates for York county ofhces
are not going to address many voters.
Not more than seventy OF the l5O peO-
pie attending the McConnellsville
meeting heard the speeches of candl-
dates for the legislature and others.
The crowd of picknickers were more
interested in social conversation with
relatives and friends than they were
interested in the lines" handed out
by the various candidates. Still the
candidates were able to get in lot of
good work py speaking to each voter
personally.
Candidates for county treasurer
drew q laugh when they made break
for the little stand in McConnelrs
pasture from which they were given
opportunity to present their claims
for suffrage. Seven of them accepted
the opportunity to briefly address the
voters. Mrs. Lucia Ewart Quinn, the
woman candidate for treasurer, was
not present and John r. Logan, Jr.,
did not attempt n public speech. Each
of the seven had had more or less
experience as a bookkeeper and was
eminently qualified to be treasurer.
Pledges of ]. Lee Spratt Of Fort
Mill. a candidate for the house of
n
McConnellsville, q candidate for treas
urer reached Clerk of the Court Nc
A.ackin Tuesday afternoon. 1t was
explained that the pledges had been
delayed in the mails and Chairman
John A. Marion ruled the explanation
satisfactory. In The Yorkville En-
quirer the name of d. l.. Shieder was
omitted from the list of those who had
qualified with the clerk for the posi-
ton OF treasurer This omission
came about by reason of the fact that
the pledge had not been placed in the
file with pledges of other candidates
but temporarily placed in another
section of the clerks office. Candidate
Shieder had filed his pledge early
Tuesday morning, however.
Candidates for county supervisor
and county commissioners did not
avail themselves of Chairman Loves
invitation to discuss road matters
with the voters from the public plat
form. Candidates for those offices
never make any public speeches, al
though there are many voters who
think that they should do so.

Grove. There were also a number of
citizens of Yorkville in attendance
