REAL ISSUE OF ' THE CAMPAIGN. e,A Dollar's Worth of Government for a Dollar’s Worth of Taxes” is the cry of every voter and, taxpayer in Cedar- ville corporation and township, The only issue during the coining campaign will be th a t of better municipal government. I t is Idle to pretend or argue th a t th e people are satisfied wltb the present regime. I t cer­ tain ly is the desire to secure a more business-like, more effi­ cien t se t o f officials th a t w ill represent the people and n o t ivset . of whimsical politicians, who, during the past three or four years have used public money and position fpr personal gnin a t the expense of the tax payers. ‘ • Of all the campaigns that, have boon waged in OedarvHle not one has heen:' preceded with the outburst of criticism aga in st a set of officials as is tak ing place this fall. The citizens, and tax-payers in pa rticu lar, have become more Interested, for they have react and know of conspicuous Instances of mismanagement and wilful blunders on the p a rt > of the village council as a body. The -village has been dragged into cou rtand the tax-payers’ money spen t for attorneys fees to settle petty differences. The village lias, become the laughing stock of the county fo r its method of doing business, I ts assets have -dep reda ted from the lack of care th a t money from th e tax -payers’ pocket could • fall into channels th a t would ultimately And Its end with a few politicians. ■ ■ The business-like method of conducting village affairs Is best shown in the tax rate. The tax ra te of a municipality is only the standa rd of what the people receive in improve-, m en t fo r what th ey spend. The tax rate during the gang ad­ m inistration has risen Un til. it reached $3.16, an outrageous amount,when we do not enjoy as good lights! street® and ' pro­ tection as we h ad years ago under a lower rate. I t is a self evident tru th then th a t with a high tax rate and no more Im­ provement, th a t the hard earned shekels have been plaec-d where there was little return for the public. ’ Many instances can be sighted of how public money has been carelessly spent. For instance the public demonstration on a Saturday afternoon of ,1. H. Andrew, a member of coun­ cil, and James Bailey, street commissioner, in an encounter over stree t Work th a t was necessary, bu t not to the Ideas of the councilman. During the fuss men and a team stood Idle a t the corporation’s expen se.whilo Mr. Andrew' hindered the work of another official. W ith the present- administration there has been little towards the enforcement of the law . Liquor is hauled by the wagon load each week. One official pu tting the-blame on file other- when questioned as to certain violations. Local option has become a mockery-and will remain so long as a few politi- , cfanshold, the enforcement powers in the bellow of their hand, Pub lic office should be a public tru st, bu t has " It been? Public transactions should be conducted with the same de­ gree of rectitude as.the m erchan t expects of h is clerk or„ his bcokkeeper. T h is business p rinc ip le w ith m any v o te rs , has been overlooked or ine« t h a t are-now in office have bean over estimated. Because a man has gained considerable g& i the itoatiofttl d# tik to usrt su ch hands? „ . The g reatest care, should be exercised in th e selection 'o f men for office. There are men who are outspoken in th e ir views, who will always be found stand ing firm to th e ir convic­ tions.' Th is ciass'of men seldom cause the public any trouble. The most dangerous class a re those who wish to create the impression on the b e tte r elenrenbof stand ing for nothing bu t w ha t is righ t and proper. This is only a cloak to hide their true position. The la tte r class Is the. most dangerous from the fact their public and private acts w ill only be the reverse, They Will be found blinking a t wrong doing for fear of loosing their political position. They willJbe found conniving with corrupt “politicianAnna‘doing their kidding. ' The man who represents ~. Buch a character is a dangerous citizen in any community and ns an official will do nothing towards enforcing the laws- Bol- iticians Use them to draw a per cent of .the so called respect­ able vote. Is it, then, the p a rt of wisdom to risk such a man in power? I f you are satisfied w ith present conditions it is your du ty to support th a t kind of a man. . The question is no t one of individual claims upon office; it is a question of rad ical betterment of municipal government in Cedarville. ‘ M r .

The long silence has been broken in"poittIcai circles and the gang has sef Saturday a s the day for th e customary cu t and dried primary. From a ll Indications and rejiorts the boss­ es have drawn the lines closer th is year than ever before. I t has been arranged th a t only-candidates suitable to tho gang could be given a place in the primary race.' This was no donb t due to the fact th a t every thing w ithin the ranks has not been serene and a ticket m ust be selected with as little s tir and Motions as possible, ^ Tho choice of a man for mayor seems to have been the bope o f eontenUon and a rup tu re lias appeared in tire gangs ranks over the selection of the probable candidate. Mayor McFar­ land has always been regarded as a Arftlrew-Itidg\vay-Jiiekson man bu t not so th is year. H e has proven unfaithful., to their cause and has been turned down with a cold shoulder. He was v irtually denied a place on tire prim ary ticket. Another had been selected weeks ago for the mayorallty nomination th a t fully filled the bill. He has been tried in’sev­ eral places and always came up to the gangs expectations. He has even gone so fa r as to place himself a t t h e organizations disposal, to do its bidding, no m atter the cost. He has used hif^eolumns to defend his masters through thick and th in re­ gardless of the consequence. This man who will come before the voters as a candidate for majrer is none other than the* “ modern Judas” SteVen Qa-lvin Wright: Having been disappointed in Mayor McFarland the gang comes before the people w ith one who has no interest other than of th a t corrupt organization. The tu rn down handed Mayor McFarland proves to the voters and tax payers th a t no man shall be trusted with the law enforcement powers other than one who will be true to tire interests of those who are re- ■ sponsible for his nomination and election. The Herald was aware two or three wpefcs ago th a t the present Mayor was to be-denied a place on the primary .ticket and tluit Judas was the chosen one. Caucus a fte r caucus has been held to shape things in his interest. He was selected on the belief that he could “work'.’ the church vote while the -or­ ganization took care of thepurehasable or floating class, Th is his managers have determined would give him a strong m a­ jority, Each n igh t the workers gather In the ink tea room a t the rear of the Ridgway drugstore a t which (ime* reports are heard as to the situation. Last Sabbath-night a long confer­ ence was held in this notable place a t which-time the situation was well canvassed. Judas was present in person, and during his stay of epurse did not; see the least wrong doing,-even-, though several of the regulars passed in and out after having; obtained tire tanglefoot. I t was for sending a bootlegger, to the workhouse that'Mayor McFarland gained th e , enmity of , the druggist. As Judas makes- his loafing headquarters h> this joint he must only blink and pass the m atter 'Ey, The remainder of the ticke t j o be nom inated to-morrow ..will be' seleeted aS the bosses see fit. I t will no t be a ' question - of how m any votes each candidate gets bu t how many they ex­ pect him to hove. Each year adds new faces among the op-'" posing element while the gang grows more desperate to thw a rt’ the Willfit th e public a n d d rag th e pa riy banner th rough the m ire. • ’ MRS.AMELIABULL.
