To the People of WASHINGTON COUNTY ★ ★ ★ The administration of Governmental affairs under Democratic lead ership has been attacked by the Republican party. The statements by the Republican party do not speak the truth. The indebtedness of the County about which the Republicans speak is a hang-over from the period prior to 1925 when the Republicans were attempt ing to administer the affairs of Washington County. The Democratic Ad ministration has consistantly reduced the indebtedness of the County and during the past five years the indebtedness of Washington County has been reduced $268,675.20 together with the payment of $195,687.83 interest, and now have a sinking fund of $21,000.00 which accumulated over that same period. Judge workmen by their chips: In the last Republican administration December, 1924 to December, 1926—the public debt considerably increased, and county vouchers could not be cashed. They were bought at large dis counts by those having money and held until the Democrats returned to pow er, upon which they were all paid in full during the first month. The Repub licans say more taxes are being collected than ever before. The record shows the following: 1930 taxes levied for fiscal year, $172,556.46; 1944 taxes levied for fiscal year. $113,900.00: a difference ®f $58,000.00. Improvements and enlargements to the school system of the County can not be made in abnormal times such as we are now having when all such material are going to the all out efforts to win this war, and have our boys and girls return home, tl is not asking too much that we suffer some of the hardships of this war here at home, but some who evaded the draft during the last war by falsifying the facts, may not be able to see it that way and therefore, have been having much to say about the school situation. The matter of public Finance is a public record and always open for in spection to those interested, and in addition to than an annual statement is published as provided by law. The record is the best evidence of performance. We welcome you to examine the record under the Republican administration and under the Democratic administration. We are willing to leave the decision of best performance to you. Mr. Manning. Republican Candidate for Representative, has promised the people of Washington County, if elected, to do everything from the ap pointment of a Republican School Board to an increase in the price of peanuts. Do not be misled by such promises. You must remember that the North Carolina Legislature is a body composed of 98 per cent Democratic members. Mr. Manning is a REPUBLICAN. All good Democrats and many sound thinking Republicans will vote the straight Democratic ticket, and elect men to office who have ability, integrity and stand for good Government. ★ ★★★★★ Washington County Democratic Executive Committee Birthday Party lor Floyd Davenport Mr. and Mrs. Mack J.
