R. L. DARBY
to your friends? And above all is
it fair to your own intelligence?
You wouldn't sign your name to
a e'ip of paper not knowing what
it was would you? Yet you will
vote Against a proposition, or for
it as the oa9e may be, without
ever having given the matter any
thought or question other than
accepting some newspaper ac-
count and version of Jhe matter.
Read and Study the bill. Lay
aside any prejudioe you may
have in the matter and do not
accept the statements made by
newspapers and men who are
fighting the present etate admin-
istration for selfieh reasons.
Am I for ths bonde? Certainly
I am, and so is every business
man and farmer in the state that
bae given the matter careful
thought and consideration. Now
wait. I didn't make that last
statement hastily, nsither did I
intend to inainuatc that you are
not eapable of or bare not con
aidered the matter. What I mean
is that you have coneiderel ae-
' feating the bill snd the bonds
rather than the bill for iteelf.

tainly not. Go to the tax records
and find tbs Ma that pay the

Now listen here: I am goiner
to talk to you for a few minutes
and I am going to talk the only
way I know how to talk—direct
from the shoulder:
For the past four years I have
talked good roads, spent time
■and money on good roads and
even wett so far as to actually
work a couple of days on them.
Every year the same work had to
be done all over again. The wind
and the rain (when we had any)
put the dirt back where it came
from nearly as fast as it could be
piled up on the grade. Thous-
ands of dollars ere spent thie
way each year only to be done
all over again. Its the truth I
am telling you and you know it.
Now ttnn isn't it a business pro-
position to vote and eell Bonde
to baild permanent roads and
use the same money that we are
now wasting to reure ths Bonds
and pay ths interest? Yea, I
heard you say that ths money
wouldn't do it, but Competent
Engineers and smarter men than
we ere says it will, and in as
mueh as they spent weeks sod
months ia ineseugating this part
of the propoeinov, 1 hardly think
it becomes me to depots their
word, do yo«Thie h*U wasn't
framed in thirty m.cutee
though a certain newspaper inti-
mates that it was, neither was it
promulgated by a bunch of graft
ers, if the same papers do sav eo
All men are NOT liars neither
are all men crooks. I have less
patience with thie last argument
than any other that the Anti
men put up. For the love of fair-
ness and justice don't endeavor
to make men believe that our
law makers are a bunch of graft-
ers and petty theives; it they are
tiien where do you and I come in?
We elected them and we know-
ingly sent a crook to the State
House. We have certainly been
found in had oompany. Now
haven't we? Out of all the Rep-
resentatives in the House only
one voted against the Bill and
out of all the Senators only two
were against the bill. £id I
btar some one say Governor
Robinson, dominated and push-
ed it through? Friends, I have
a picture of a Democrat Gover-
nor dominating a Republican
member of either house, havent
you? Think this over for a min-
ute: The Governor nas his influ-
ence alright but it dosen't extend
very far on the Republican side
of the fence. Were all the Re-
publicans for this bill? All but
one. Well, I didn't know that.
There are lots of other things
about that bill that you didn't
know too, that you will find out
if you will read it.
Certain papers delight in say-
ing, that the money won't do
more than two thirds of the work
and some one is going to be left
out in the cold and that may
be your rounty. 8ouads reas*
onable at first, doesa't life Now
read it again and think jrhile
you are reading it? Did ytiB get
a different view point of it? I
did, only I must admit I read
it several times bsfors I csught
it. I knew it didn't just exactly
ring true, but I couldn't place
my finger on the flaw at first. If
this was so. why didn't the Stats
Engineer, when consulted ren-
der his opinion to the contrary
and imphatioally state that the
Bonds together with the Govern-
ment aid were insufficient to do
the work? The same applies to
the other Engineers thst were
