REGARDLESS of ones political

QEGARDLESS of ones political
affiliations, it is both unjust and
unreasonable to spread canards
against anyone man seeking Office.
After all we are all human and prone
to err. The most remarkable story we
have heard lately is that Judge
Woodward should not be returned to
Office because he doesn't own any
property or pay taxes. This state
ment, made in the presence Of the
writer quite recently, is untrue. If a
person owns an automobile he pays
taxes. Twice. On the car and for gas
oline. Judge Woodward owns a car.
He also owns two lots, or part of two
lots, in Rockville. The assessment
books in the courthouse prove it. So
we hope that ends the argument. We
will be as quick to disprove false
statements against any Fusion candi-
date. Let us look at the campaign in
this light: there are two sets of men
and women running for office. All
have contributed in some degree to
the growth of Montgomery County.
Take your pick. The list holds no
murderers, kidnappers or rapists.
