Q_ T AM informed by my friends that ther JL has been put in circulation about m a report to the effect that if elected super visor I w ill keep the cbaiugang in th s- eastern portion of the county. I think can afford to leave it to the love of fai int play which pervades this county to decid . whether or not this is unjust. My oppo w nent, Mr. Leech, is an honorable gentle man and I know that he is not responsi m ble for the story. It should be remem >er bered that the disposition of the chain gang, as well as all other important mat y ters is solely within the jurisdiction o the county board of commissioners which re it will be remembered, is composed of on iy man from each township and all appoint n. ed by the governor. If elected, I shal not forget that I am the supervisor of th K whole of York county, and not especiall; n- of ?nv narticular section. The chaimrani its will work wherever the county boar ,1- prescribes, and wherever it works I shal v. make it my business to see that it accom . plishes the best possible results. M; il' record as a public official is before th n- people, and all I ask is that they judg h. me by what I have done, rather than bj a; what others might say I propose to dc i.'
