Itankln Sldn't deny It MacDade was known to bo wither for nor against, the snlcon as a Mloon. but opposed to a corrupt liquor nower and at the same time willing to grant licence f it should appear that It was Jeslred by the people of the community. MacDade has written an open letter to the People's Ansoclatlon In which he keeps the stand he took before the primary, Bledges himself to rigid enforcement of elec tion laws and declares he will put an end to Jury-whcel-stufllng scandalH. The letter of the People'H Association urging McDade's election follows: APPEAL. TO COUNTY Cltliens of Delaware County: The oHlce of Judge Is the most Impor tant In the county. The general election en November 6, therefore, oilers nn ex ceptional opportunity to strike a sledge hammer blow at tho rum-bos'ed political machine which has so long throttled our tltt Institutions. ' Judge William U. Uroomall hua been on the bench for the lat ten years, Is now seventy-five years old and Is u candidate for re-election. During these ten years tho standing and reputation of our court seems to us to have steadily declined, until now we find a general lack of confidence In It that Is a reproach to our county. During this term the Jury wheel was fluffed In gross violation of law, mid the criminals went unpunished. The llquor llcense law haw been so administered that the sale and consumption of liquor have Increased, and nccoidlng to open assertion and honest belief, licenser have been granted principally in tho interest of one family and those whom that fam ily designates The common belief Is that rlotH, dis orders nnd murders In Chester are the result of an Impression that our court is so allied with the liquor-controlled politi cal machine that criminals with political protection can git unpunished. Condi tion, exist In our county as objection able as In the notorious Fifth Ward In Philadelphia. Drunkcnucrs. lawless ness, crime, suffering and moral defen eration have Incrcaced In Delaware County. The resulting deep and Irrepaiablc harm to our whole county life cannot be overestimated. Is It not evident that we tniint build with other timber? That to re-elect Judge liioomall, the nomiiico of this same liquor-controlled political machine. Is but to Indorse and perpetuate the old powers and the old evils? ' t At the recent primary election the volo for Judge on the nonpartisan ballot was Is follows: William II. Hioomall 10,094 Albert Dutton MacDade "312 James I. Itankln Si 16 lo.yr.s The majority of tho combined opposi tion against Judge Uroomall was, there fore, 864 At the general election the only name to appear In opposition to Judge Uroomall will be that of Mr. MacDade. The People's Association, therefore, turned to Mr. MacDade as the ono source from which to hope for relief from the deplorable conditions under which our county has long suffered. Mr. MacDade has made a clear state ment of the platform upon which he stands, and pledge of tho principles hlch will goern him If elected. This statement meets our hearty np Proal. Wo belleo It Is made with sin cere purpose of fulfillment. We, therefore, heartily Indorse Mr. MacDade for the high office of Jude of Delaware County, and urge all of our fellow citizens to work and vote fcr him. A copy of .Mr. MacD'ade's statement is Inclosed here with your Information. In the two terms Mr. MacDade served District Attorney In Delaware County nls official acts proved that ho was not subservient to the corrupt and criminal Political organization then, as now, con trolling the government of Delaware County The ote for Judge Is nonpartisan. No que&tlon of party loyalty Is Involved, but the vital interests of our county are at take. We urge with deepest earnestness, therefore, that every citizen recognize "Is obligation nnd do his duty by voting. We believe that In large majority our cuirens will vote for the emancipation of Delaware County from rum rule and dls JionesL politics by voting for Albert Dut ton MacDade.
