DR.. Desbrisay was born in Hall

Municipal Park; new wells and pump;
hard-surfaced streets; re-surfaced and
gravel streets; concrete curb and gut
ter extensions; Waterman extern
sions; furnishing automobile to po-
lice; 60-acre garbage farm; timber

and others. All this done with the
minimum amount of expense and al
ways with a view to the interests of
the taxpayers.
The retiring Mayor leaves record
for the incoming official to shoot at,
and the people, no doubt, will be in
a mood to compare results. Pocomoke
residents have much to be thankful
for as resulting from the six years
of Mr.. Ross administration.

turned on the question of economy of
expenditures. Prediction declara-

matter how DESTROYS the man in Of
flee is to make good. Sometimes,
those who sweep a candidate into Of

quently support at the polls is a lever
to pry loose public funds; successful
candidates often find themselves faced

whether said demands conform to
much talked of platforms.
However, Pocomoke now has almost
a new deal in its administrative cap
acity. Good citizens will be glad to
cooperate, and the Democrat bespeaks
for the new body universal support.
E. Wilfred Ross, the retiring may
or, can look back upon his admins
tration with great deal of satisfac-

unusual quality of public spiritedness.
In proof of this, one has only to
note the material results testifying to
his constructive regime. Pocomoke

Well, Sir, today is election day.
Somebody is going to be elected;
somebody isn't. 1 don't know whether
the one who is elected will be disap
pointed or not; but the one who isn't
wall think many thought about the
reliability of mankind in general. But
it was ever so. Elections are free for
all and free for everything. Every
thing wrong is every thing right.
Wection day is a holiday from the
even tenor of our ways, and we just
&c hopping along doing as we
darn please.
I asked lady some time ago who
was going to win today. She said:
''The man who gets the most votes"
And, by Jehosaphat! that's fact. I'd
never thought of it in that way But
these women! their intuitions some
tinnes go straight to the mark. They
don't know much about circumlocu-
tions. And when they start moving,
mere man had better get out of the
way. "The man who gets the most
votes!" Now who would have thought
Of that unanswerable, rapid transit,
way of solving the problem of an
election.
How-some-ever, with all due respect
to the female ability to see things to
the finish, their simple, unbeatable,
sogic, doesn't, after all, always hold
good. The one who gets the most
votes doesn't always win. Women,
God bless 'em, don't take into consid-
GRAFTON the counting of the votes.
This game of politics has many an
gies. The man who sends in the re-
turns has to be considered; and, with
all the safeguards thrown around the
ballot, the ways of the election are
dark and mysterious. One often won
ders just how elections turn out the
way they do. 1 know many a candi-
date who said he had enough votes go
through the slot to elect him; but
when they were counted, they weren't
there. How do you account for that?
Nevertheless, the man who beats
the ballot in today's election, has got
to be pretty slick. The voter does
more real voting in this city election
than in most others. He puts his lit
tie piece of paper in the box himself,
and he knows it's there, anyhow, it
doesn't have to be relayed by ten 9th
er fingers on its way.
