~
Gcrd with our farmer friends and
voters There are very many good
81 sufficient reasons why you should
vote for the present Board OF County
Commissioners and the Auditor. People
in the country understand that when the
presen. Commissioners came into office,
there was hardly q safe and decent bridge
in the county. Under the administration
Of this board, thei bridge at Waitsburs
has been built, as has been one at Buck
Fla,hers. The Pettyiohn, the Harvey
Shaw and the bridge across the. Touchet
on the old Walla Walla road, have been
constructed. -Four bridges have been
built on the Walla Walla river, and two
more repaired Five bridges have been
built on Dry Greek, four on the Copper,
three or four on the Yellow Hawk and
three on Singleton Creek ! Aside from
this, work done In the interest of the
farmers anu general public, the. Commis-
sioners have located large number Of
new roads, provided supervisors with
tools, and performed everything that
would contribute TO the material develop
ment of the county. In all this labor,
Auditor Painter has been dlligent CO.
worker and assistant Not only the
farmers but the general public under
stand, that when the Commissioners came
into Office the tax was lG mills. It has
been reduced to Ii mills, and if elected
and allowed to control for the coming
two years, the tax VIII certainly be re-
duced to y mills. The Commissioners,
assisted by the Auditor, now have the
county finances III excellent shape and
wellig ~ hand, and it is to the interest Of
those who hold the scrip, as well as all
others, to continue this financial super
vision for another two years
Oar farmer friends need not be remind
ed that the present Auditor, Mr. Painter,
has always gone ont Of his own way to
serve them as such official He has al
ways been careful Of their interests, look
ing out and correcting errors in docu-
ments, and fsvoring them in every way
possible. They have always met the ut
most courtesy al his office, found prompt
hess and ability, and not the least reason
for complaint. The STATESMAN insists
that the best interests Of this public will
be met IN the reelection OF the officials
referred to in this article. They are
worthy of the unanimous vote of Walla
Nalla county.

A Misfortune.

4 good cause is always subject to have
its name and principles appropriated tor
selfish and unworthy ends, by men who
do not care a picayune for the best inter
as,s of that cause. Now the Democratic
party and organization in this county IL
in all respects a good cause, and, If not
biased or prejudiced by those who have
ONLY selfish interests to serve, the men,
hers Of that organization will vote right
A, the coming eleetion-that is, they will
choose Republican here, because Of his
fitness for the Office, choose Democrat,
there. for the same reason, and in that
way vote right. But the good cause OF
Democracy is being appropriated and pros
titutei by one or two individuals in this
city who have only selfish interests to
serve These individuals are the lead
M spirits in the new publication; its ed
l,or, and money-lender from the east.

larity as he can get, at 10 cost to himself,

IL We ask: What has the editor of the new
publication, j. E. Budd ever accomplish
ed, as a lawyer, here or elsewhere, to en-
ritIe him to the votes of this people, for
the position Of Prosecuting Attorney He
has had no experience at all. in our courts.
Perhaps case or two in the police court,
or before one of the Justices of the Peace,
that is all If taken at all, it will have to
be on trust Ii there was lack of legal
material here; if We did not have
a candidate who has held the office Of
Prosecuting Attorney to the entire salts
faction Of this people, then there would
be some excuse for accepting Mr.. Budd's
offer TO administer the office. Aguail on
toast is worth hundred in the bush.
One ounce of practical effort is worth a ton of
theory, Mr.. ThOmpsons administration
Of the office of which he is the incumbent,
and to which he seeks reelection, entities
him 10 the votes of all citizens who have
the best interests of the community at
heart; while Mr.. Budd has failed, as yet,
to present a single reasonable, tenable ar
sument why he should be elected to this

We have 10 interest involved in the
present election OF more Importance than
the administration of the public schools.
Tbs interest is dear TO the heart of every
American citizen, and To the selection of a
Superintendent who will bring to the
work, not only the sterling character Of a
gentleman, but one who has a straightfor-
ward, honest faith in these educational
institutions Of this county, and the abili-
ty not only 10 instruct, but to administer
the affairs Of his office consistently and
curra-eously, Is one Of things to which
every voter should give much thought.
We believe Mr.. John ". Brock, the Re-
publican candidate for this .tfice is the
person wanted. He is graduate of Ohio
Wesleyan Universityai Delaware. He ha.
been teaching about twenty-five years,
part OF this time as principal of the High
schools at Winona, Minnesota, and q.

A Short Catashisn

A gentleman residing near Waitsou's
forwards us 8 letter to-day, in which he en-
bodies a series Of questions regarding the
new publication. We append the inqu''
ries and our replies
QUESTIONS
How old is the new publication; what
il its political complexion: who Is IT'S e'i'''
who started it; what Was the object IN start
ING il: is its editor an Office seeker; is he 4
Republican or a Democrat; what influence
has II. Won speak OF crow eating, what ABOUT
that. You viii confer favor on many Vo-
tiers by giving correct answers to these ques'
tons.
ANSWERS.
The new publication has been out Of the
baptisnal font about month. Il Is the oth-
er advertising sheet under a new nsme' Tor
which double the price is charged
As to its political complexion we are Al
sea. A Republican who operated the other
dodcer, owns 80 shares in the new coneeFn'
without paying anything. The present
editor is ]. E Budd, the pseudo Democratic
candidate for Prosecuting Attorney. At the
last election he was Republican and worked
diligently to elect Mr.. Noble, and other Re
publicans. To-day he claims TO be a Demo
crat but then be is running for oshee tins
season.
The new publication was originated oY a
money lender, who is not IN any way iden'i-
fed with the interests of the Democratic
party or material interests of this section
only so lar as concerns the business os loan
ing money, for al eastern banking tirmi the
same firm that operates in the Sacramento
valley. We are told that LIE pays 10 taxes
here, and that all the profits made on: OF his
money lending business goes out OF the eoun-
try.
There appears to be just now, bat one OBJ
iect for the new pubiicatiOa-the election OF
its editor as Prosecuting Attorney. whose
claims to the Office appear to rest upoa the
fact-as stated-that his Pa is distin-
ruished citizen OF California At first. under
now ex-edi.or, the objee; was TO see how
much crow the establishment could gulp
down.
We have answered, sbove. the seventh
and eight questions. As to its intseaee'
that is microscopic 1t is one of those things
fellow can't discover" The columns
were so long the dumping ground Of fossil
lied opinions about dead or dying issues,
that the new publication exerted some sueh
influence as that claimed by museum. The
crow banquets We have alre iy reported IN

Cast a Vote for SinSiser.

Time and circumstance have struck the
hour IN Utah when man may hold pub
lie office even if he. does not belong to the
priesthood, and, as under the theocracy,
his rank III office is no longer in accor-
dance with his rank in the hierarchy. The
time has come when the people of that
territory have something else to do than
TO ratify the choice of the Mormon
Bishop or Teachers, as they are called.
We understand that the Mormons in Ida
no object to all this legal change, and,
out Of a spiri: of revenge, are using every
effort they possess, including the lavish
use Of money to defeat, not only Mr.
Smgiser, but, Mr.. Cassidy, Of Nevada.
And what We have placed at the head of
this article 1--WE would, if it were possible,
say personally to every citizen of Idaho
The Mormon creed is absolute power
vested IN one man; is the best and most
efficient human government" 1t is the
government of Goo. through his prophets,
Seer. and Revelator That Is what the
Mormous Of Idaho as well as Utah are
trying to build up. Every vote cast for
S.ngiser is a vote against Theocracy, and
III favor Of Democracy The theocratic
spirit dictates to the Mormon people, the
ratification Of the nomination sanctioned
by the Priests and Revelators- There is
but one way 10 meet this-the honest,
right-thinhing people of Idaho must, with
out distinction Of party, unite, work for
and vote for Mr. Singiser. In his cleo
ton the people Of Idaho will be in posses
sion of an advocate at Washington, capa-
bic, efficient, and utterly opposed to Nor
monism in all It's branches.

exacting business interests, they have
