SHOYER WRITES OF “GRAFT” CHARGES :: Will Defend Present Administration Front All Unjust

Attacks.

The fuUovrlug self-explanatory o|ien dier from the |ieti of Frederick J. Shojer will be realf wltb interest by cltluns of this resort: '** tie Itev. J. E. Lake, Kdltor of the Ocean City Ledger— My Dear Hlrir-Encouragerl by the invitation In your issue of last Saturday, addressed to tin public at large to write out what one may think about any phase of the quaslloii of change of government and send, II to you for publication, the writer respectfully has taken llila opportunity to address you taxpayer In Ocean Clly, and one of a greater number who have no voice In the local government, it can-office-seeluri'.Dor In any wise responsible for thnsaAcho hold office, nor or have ‘the/past occupied official positions ibe government of Ocean City. I hope 1 write with frankness, without bias, as I certainly know that what Xstate ts without fear or favor, ills, however, more especially, as a member of theso-called "Graft Committee,'' and as a representative of the Taxpayers' Association, that 1 express myself oh this occasion. It la well understand .by the tbonaahda who yearly visit Ocean City what Influences surround and are associated with tbeOceanCIty tagger. Beeauseof this, or 1 might rather say. In spile of this, I and many others whom I know, have been amazed at the altitude of your paper with respect to the ‘‘Graft Committee,” Us work, and the mailers It has already Investigated, both In your news column aud in your editorial column, slurred the work of the committee as a' fiasco," notw ithstanding the admitted fast under oatti that one oY the present city officials has publicly confessed to receiving bribe money In connection with tbe award T a city contract. It Is passing strange that tbe tender conscience of your paper la wrought up Into a frenzy at the sale of a plate, of Ice cream on Sunday, but Is In uo moved to consider seriously so grave an oflenre agalm^ personal Integrity and public honor;nor. Indeed do you seem lo be disturbed by the fact that two members of tbe committee, their oaths, positively testlfled that a former oouncltmen admitted to them "the receipt of bribes of a very cheap character In connection with tbe award of other contract*, and sifted further that a former councllho unquestionably had great power In the clly’a government, had distributed these paltry bribes to lliem while at the same time tbe alleged recipients of .these trifling sums, on their oath* in public before tbe committee, gave testimony which only served to corroborate tbe positive evidence glveu by the members of tbe

commute*.

And all thlsdeliberately and officially dubbed by your newspaper as "graft
