THURSDAY, AUGUST 12. 1920.
Congressman Mason of Illinois Is
of the opinion, so he suys, perhaps
because lie .wanted to get his name
on the press wires, that the Irish
sympathizers in America will "all
have to vote for Harding." Perhaps
they will, and perhaps they
won't. The Irish sympathizers in
tliis country arc not herded in a pen
like so many cattle to lie delivered
by any man who may have appointed
himself spokesman for them. We
imagine that quite as many Amerlmino

P republic in (act will be found voting

1 larding.
The heavy rains of the last few days
demonstrate in the most forcible way
tho need of good roads throughout
the county. Motor tralllc over the
country roads was almost impossible
tl?e lirst of the week. Kittle as one
may think of it, the condition of the
loads cost the county thousands of dollars.
Farmers were, unable in many
instances to bring their perishable
produce to market, finding it wellnigh
impossible to drive their cars through
the mud, and consequently sustaining
considerable loss in the aggregate.
Merchants and other business men also
suffered loss from the condition of the
roads. York couniy has an act, passed
at the 1 !> 19 session of the General Assembly.
providing for the issuance of
township bonds for road purposes, but
unfortunately only two townships In
the county have improved upon the
opportunity the net affords to secure
good roads, and in only one of these
townships have there been any roads
constructed from the sale of township
bonds. Hut one of these days the people
are going to tire of tho.mipl
tax and then good roads- will b<
built, if not by bond Issues, otherwise
The matter could'quickly be brought.
iii a inaii i?y a number or influential
men in each township cooperating to,,
Inlluenco the- voters to provide the
funds for road construction.
Fleeted to the United States sennti
for the second time, in 1!?14, carrying
al. save three counties in the State
over Ills Republican opponent, after
receiving nearly 00,000 majority ovet
tiis opponent for the Democratic nomination
the same year, Tlios. P. Gori
now goes down to defeat under a heavy
vote cast for Scott Ferris as tht
party candidate in the Novembei
election. A number of reasons ari
given for the defeat of tlie blind
senator, he himself claiming that it
was due to the harvest season which
kept many farmers away from tin
polls; but the most likely reason is
found in his opposition to President
Wilson's policies generally but particularly
his vote against the league
of nations. "1 ran a handicap race
atul lost," the senator says. Kxactly.
There are other Congress candidates
i nnipg for reelection this year who
a o are carrying the added weight in
h. ndieap races. Over in Georgln
lloke Smith is up for reelection and
there is the possibility that his handicap
will also prove his undoing.
Smith's war record is little hotter than
Core's; tint at that there is little-to
chose between Smith and the candidates
who are opposing him for the
Democratic nomination. Tom Watson
i." .-in iimiT mi.in, iiiiii in i no iihii'mi in (,ije
SouIh. I>ut is oven loss dependable than
Smith, if that lie possible, and Cooper
apparently Is a liquor candidate. The
one hope for Ocoi'Kia to he creditably
represented in.the United States senate
seems to bo Coventor Horsey. It
i: thought ttiat Horsey eould deroat
Smith. Watson and Cooper if he made
an aggressive campaign, hut the governor
seems reluctant to enter the
race and it begins to look as if Smith
will continue to lie in position to do
the State and nation more harm thun
good.
