Here Are the Facts: The official records of the County Auditor show that King County is paying $116.95 per day to 28 road “bosses,” who have little or no duties to perform for the simple reason that no road work worth mentioning is being done during the war. In addition to the above political appointees of Commissioner + Lou Smith, five of “Lou's” personal friends are drawing $700.00 per month, plus autos and auto upkeep and expenses, as “perma nent highways overseers.” - A recent investigation disclosed one boss “overseeing” one man and a team A “boss” and his “crew” of one man were found a few days ago sound asleep in a gravel pit. Six others with the “boss,” who are engaged in loading one wagon, put in their long waits between loads tn friendly card games. The poo! and billiard rooms of Au- burn and Kent are the favorite loafing places (during working hours) of Lou Smith's well paid but not overworked army of road In the meantime the graveled roads of King County, costing huge sums of money, » being frightfully neglected. How do you like it, Mr. Taxpayer? Lou Smith has Six Hundred and Five Thousand Dollars to spend this year on road work (?). Is it consistent to continue this literal waste of public funds ata time when tha whole nation is crying loudly for the conserva- tion of money and man-power? It is YOUR money that has and is being spent. Where has it gone? Where is it going What new roads have been bu Smith? “Lou” is @ past master in the pioneer Kin, ring and he's sti! under the direction of Lou County political 1 playing the “game” with the old-time cunning. see Two men are opposing Lou Smith in the primaries, One of these, a former County Commissioner, left the office after a record that “smells to Heaven.” This man Hamilton has the brazen effrontery to ask for another chance to show his hand at mishandling the affairs of King County. No one familiar with his past record takes his candidacy seriously, yet there are many to whome Hamilton is a stranger who should be warned. HERMAN NELSEN THE MAN Herman Nelsen, a resident of King County for more than thirty years, a careful, conservative farmer, who has made a remarkable success of his own affairs, is the man entitled to your support. Mr, Nelsen believes in sys- tem and efficiency and ap piles it in all his own affairs. Careful financing has en- abled him to earn a compe tence and place him in im- portant positions of trust. The confidence of his neighbors and fellow farmers Was expressed recently in his selection as secretary and treasurer of the Renton-Kent Federal Farm Loan Associa- Uon, which has loaned $60,- 000.00 in this district in the last two months. Mr, Nelsen is also a director in the Farm- ers’ Mutual Fire Insurance Company, of Enumclaw. There are seven children in the Nelsen family, one of whom is wearing the unl- form of an American soldier in France, and another, al- though but 17 years old, has been given his parents’ con- sent to enter the Navy. HERMAN NELS! The Nelsen family have bought $1,100.00 worth of Liberty Ronds, have pledged $15 per month for War Savings Certificates, and give $20 every month to the local Red Cross Mr. Nelsen, with the aid of Mr, Frank Gates, organized the Orillia Council of Patriotic Service, and he is now on the Executive Cortinittee of that society Herman Nelsen is a native of Denmark, coming direct to Orillia, in the White River valley, thirty years ago. He has the friendship and confidence of all who know him, He was a candidate for County Commissioner two years ago, coming within 141 votes of winning in the final election If elected, Mr. Nelsen will inject system, efficiency and econ- omy into the’ affairs ef King County. A dollar return for every dollar expended is the aim of Herman Nelsen No non-essential work, no slackers, no useless road “bosses’’ {dling away their time in pool halls and card rooms, and sleeping on the job in roadside gravel pits, Herman Nelsen will put the affairs of King ous business basis, County on a seri-
