Show The Logan public will readily recall the strenuous attacks of the democratic demo-cratic organ during the campaign two years ago, and how at that time every move made by those In charge of the municipal light plant construction was viciously attacked. According to that organ everything was all wrong and nothing right. Much bluster was made about the bad timber used in tho pipe line, the waste of lumber on account of it being sawed too short, tho faulty construction of everything In everyway, and the only Impression to be gained from these utterances was that the plant, if, perchance It was ever completed, would most certainly cer-tainly be a failure, etc., etc. Those in charge paid little heed, the plant was completed and for eighteen months has given a perfection of service ser-vice that is timely phenomenal. That pipe line Is still therein good condition, condi-tion, there has been no dltllculty with the machinery In any way, the light has been constant and brilliant, and In every way tho plant has certainly been a magnificent success. Today the democratic organ is setting up another howl. Tow, It's the burden of a IL'.h mills tax, the lack of capable administration, tho failure to win in a light tight and tho non-yucccss In Hie management of that system. Rut dear friends there's no moro alarm now than there was two years ago, and the howling Is as far "off color" now as then, onlymoioso. Just investigate in-vestigate thoroughly any adverse criticism. The Democratic organ In writing of Nominee Jos. E Cardon sajs: "He Is as good a friend to the plant as Mayor Robinson Is, but there Is this dltfer-ence dltfer-ence between him and the Republican candidate lie Is pledged to solve the electric light problem, or at least mike a sincere effort to do so, and Mr. Robinson Is not." The Democratic organ forgot to mention another dlllercnce dlller-cnce that exists between the two men. Mr. Robinson's connection with the Installation of the plant, his work on tho Electric Light Committee, and his two years of mayorality since the plant lias been in operation gives him a know ledge of tliai planit and an insight in-sight Into solving the diillculty, that Mr. Cardon can not possibly get in two years. Then again, does any citizen citi-zen loyal to Logan and its Interests need to be pledged to solve one of Its dllllcult problems?. The Journal admits ad-mits that Mr. Caidon Is no better friend to the plant than Mr. Robinson and this being the case will he work harder to make that plant a success? Considering the years of experience of the two men.CA N ho work moro effectively effec-tively for the plant than Mr. Robinson? Robin-son? Isn't It also true tliat Mr Cardon Car-don represents that party of which a great element has made the present lamentable condition possible? Mayor Robinson unpledged can and will do, and lias done more for the plant than Mr. Cardon and the Democratic party can expect to do even though, bound by a dozen pledges. |
