If you have not already been approached by certain people in your ward or borough asking you to vote a straight ticket next Tuesday, you will be. We ask you to inquire whether the people who talk politics to you are being paid for it. During the recent Primary Campaign the Craig machine dumped considerable money into New Brighton. A list of those people and the amounts they received are printed below. Some of these recipients are officials of the borough. If their influence and work are purchasable at these figures, are they entitled to much attention from you as a voter seeking to get the best possible officials in the court house for the next four years? This is no attempt to sling mud. These names and amounts appear on the official expense account filed in the Clerk of Courts office in Beaver. You can see it for yourself. The names follow: Burgess Frank B. Wilson - $10.00 Chief of Police Sam Kennedy - $5.00 Police R.P. Kennedy - $5.00 Police Fred Myers - $5.00 Police Cecil Chapman - $24.00 Council Pres. F.N. Marr - $10.00 Council U.S. Couch - $5.00 Council H.M. Rawl - $5.00 Council Harry Steinfield - $5.00 Council Wm. A. Jenkins - $10.00 Council J.T. Steele - $17.00 Council Geo. F. Beitsch - $21.00 Council O.L. Stuber - $25.00 Constable Ben Murray - $5.00 Constable Fred Duryter - $7.00
