The Nevada County picayune., 1922-08-03

ment is founded, Let the People Rule'' and said let the majority affected by
 the Road District say what they want ed, and that I would act accordingly,
 some call it Hopping over, some call it "cheap politics. Mir. McDanlel says he $ in favor of any road dis tricts in Nevada County unless the Act provides for the submi issi0n to
 vote of the people. If this is from his heart, let him explain to the people of Nevada County, why he didn't sup
 port me on the position two years ago,
 on letting the people have voice, Ill
 the matter, and why he didn't sign | the petition that came in from his school district, against building the roads under the Andrews Law. He didn't do either Dear voter, has he | made it satisfactory with you. on these
 points have the petition in my pos session that came from his school dis | trict, and his name does not appear | thereon, and the petition can be seen | by anyone that wishes to see it, by calling at my office.
 I notice also, in the circular I re- 1 ferred to above in paragraph two, that he says. Now everybody should
 know that the Andrews Road Law has
 been repealed, and that he could not
 build any roads under this law, if he 1 wanted to do SO And as proof that the law had been repealed he refers
 you to the Acts where it can be found But read. again. and you will not find any reference to the Acts where Road
 District No had been repealed. I
 am, again, very much surprised that Mr Mcdaniel would make such mis- leading statement, as he puts particu-
 lar stress on the fact that he could truthfully say that he had made no statement that could not be proven
 I challenge him to prove that all of
 Road District No. ? has been repealed.
 He can't do it. No. ?, the first dis trict id out under the Andrews Law, was made up of five sections I am of the opinion that sections four and five have been repealed, but sections one, two. and three have not, and Mir. Me
 Daniel knows it. The bill to repeal these sections wsa vetoed by Gov. McRae. Sections one and three cover the route known as the Bankhead
 Highway, and these two sections and
 Road District No. 1. include the same territory, and we have both districts today, just like we had when the fight was on. As a further proof that these sect ions have not been repealed, l refer you to an article that appeared in our county papers in the early part of June Don't remember just the date in the Nevada News. but it was in the Picayune, June 18th on page '. un- derstand that it was prepared by Mir
 Tompkins, and under the title of "Nevada's Road Laws" See the last paragraph and you will have the mat
 ter in a nutshell Mir. Tompkins will tell you this last paragraph has refer ence to Road District No. ?, the first district under the Andrews Law.
 In this circular that he is distrlbu
 ting over the county. he cop'es letter that I wrote Mir. Andrews, during the special session of September, 1919. This letter was first delivered to my friend, J. M. Thomas, and after he withdrew from the race. turned over 10 Mr Mcdaniel So, you get the con nection. They have been making great blow about this letter-telling the people that they had letters that would uncover it all But there is in January 1919, MT Andrews intro
 duced a bill giving the County Judge power to appoint the Overseers. My good friend, Judge Thomas, had advo
 cated law of this kind during his term of office, and had often said that the County Judge would never be able to handle the road situation until he had the power to appoint the over seerS, and made some effort to get such a law enacted, but failed. And
 believing, myself. that the County Judge having the power to appoint and
 remove overseers, could select and keep men that would give him better co operation, than under the old sys-
