To the Citizens of Garrett County:
| herewith announce my candidacy
for the office of County Commissioner
on the Republican ticket, subject to
the results of the primary election to
be held in September.
| stand opposed to the Master Plan
which denies the legend written over
the portal of the Supreme Court,
Equal justice under law"
The proceeds of the county bonds
already issued should not be used for
the Master Plan, but, should be used
to improve our present high school
buildings at Accident, Friendsville,
Grantsville and Kitzmiller and to
build a new high school at Oakland,
which, the people believed was the
intent of the legislators.
Common sense will tell us it is
cheaper to repair and add to the
existing high schools and build new
one for Oakland than to do away
with the existing high schools and
build two. The Master Plan is bound
to raise our taxes even if the State
will assume a good bit Of the expenses
for its enforcement, for, who is the
State but the people themselves.
Democracy in the minds of the
present officials mean government of
the people, by the people, but they
have lost all necessary connection
with the key phrase, the vital phrase,
FOR THE PEOPLE. If the present
officials really believe in Democracy
why was a referendum vote denied on
the school issue?
