a junk pile, all practical politicians
agree, especially with the secret BAL
lot law in effect. Neither the 1888 nor
the 1885 legislatures-Dr. Mcdonald
was a member of the latter-looked
with favor upon the recommendations
of Governor Ehringhaus to repeal the
absentee ballot law, many OF them
evidently figuring that they might
run for some office some time. 1t Is
a matter of record that Dr. mcdonald
did not offer any opposition to the
secret ballot law while member of
the 1885 legislature. 1t is also a fact
that in his campaign for governor he
has not cried out against 1t, but that
on the other hand, his campaign man
ayers have sent out instructions to
his county managers and precinct
workers to get their absentee ballots
early and to use them effectively. His
headquarters issued an announcement
to this effect within the last week or
so.
Gardner Wrecked 1t.
So the facts are that former Cover
nor Gardner, by his insistence on the
enactment of the secret ballot law,
machine" than any of his predeces-
sors, and by McDonalds own admis-
sion is now making it easier for Nc
Donald to be nominated than any one
else. Yet DR.. Mcdonald is accusing
Gardner of being the chief pilot of
the awful machine which is now seek
ing to crush Mcdonald and his follow
ers and force the nomination Of Mr..
HOey, in cOntraventiOn of the will of
the people, although in the next
breath Mcdonald admits that because
of the secret ballot law, the votes of
the masses can no longer be controll-
ed by the machine
After Absentee Ballots.
Nor does this unusual situation stop
with Gardner and the secret ballot
law. 1t goes on to the absentee bal
lot law. For while DR.. Mcdonald has
had nothing to say about the absentee
acte his workers have been intimat-
ing that the machine" expects to use
it against Mcdonald despite the fact
that word has gone out to the Nc
Donald forces to make what use they
can of the absentee ballot. But if the
recommendations of Governor En-
ringhaus had been followed, there
would not now be any absentee bal
lot law so that the machine" could
not possibly use it against DR.. NC
Donald. 1t might, however, have put
something Of crimp in the McDon-
aid campaign plans and deprived him
of some votes.
All of which is causing those who
have been thinking about these things
to wonder if there is machine" if
so, whose machine and if DR.. Nc
Donald isn't trying to build new
machine" of his own now that Ma
chinists Gardner and Ehringhaus
have already dismantled and junked
the DID machine"
