These are two.matters of vital importance to the taxpayers of the county. There is much more work yet to be performed before the county is in smooth running order, occasioned by the unusual growth in popu- lation and industrial importance. And the whole point is, will it pay the taxpayers to swap work- men in the midst of the undertaking? Surely not. We'must have public roads and better ones. We must have our fiscal affairs in ship shape. We must have our business affairs, economically and intelligently managed. Mr. Griffith has done mighty well so far and he should be continued. By all of the rules of fairness and established precedent he is entitled to a second term. He does not claim to have done all of the things | accomplished during his term, alone and unaid- ed. He would claim nothing for hiniself, he would preter that the credit be given his colleagues.
