PARTISAN6HIP REBUKED

Republican,, Democratic and AL
lance Papers United i'm Con-
demning the Rank Parti-
sanship of the House in
the Dunn-Price
Contest.
1t is now two weeks since the
Dunn-Price contest was disposed
Of in the house, and yet the report
of the house committee on elections
in that case has not appeared in
the house journal. That report,
on motion Of Hon. e. e. Searle,
was ordered published, but Mr.. P.
II. Smalley, chief clerk of the
house and secretary of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, is
a law onto himself. That report
virtually recommended the seating
of R. G. Dunn, and was signed by
every member of the committee
two Democrats, two Alliance men
and one Republican. Now that
the contest cases of O'Brien and
Durant, both Democrats, have been
decided, perhaps Autocrat Smalley
will permit the report to see day
light. When that suppressed re-
port reaches US, if it ever does, we
shall have a few comments to offer
thereon.
A DEMOCRAT SORRY FOR US.
We are sorry for Bob, for he is a
good enough fellow to be a Democrat,
and our advice to him is to get on the
band wagon before it is too Latest.

A SEAT TO WHICH HE WAS NOT
ELECTED.
Well, the Dunn-Price contest is at
last settled, and Price is holding down

THE OMNIPOTENT PARTY LASH,
The Dunn-Price contest in the legis-

JUSTICE CUT NO FIGURE.
The legislative contest in this dis
trlct between Dunn and Price has been
decided in favor Of Mr.. Price. Mr..

SHOULD HAVE BEEN COUNTED IN,
&. b. Price was confirmed by the
house and will continue to hold his seat
although a bitter contest has turned in
his favor. The inside facts may never
be known but one will readily guess
that Bob Dunn should have been
counted in if fair play was had.-Gron-

WAS FAIRLY ELECTED.
Bob Dunn was defeated in his contest
for a seat in the lower house of the
legislature. The combine voted
against him, bat they can lay but
mighty little JUNCTION to their souls. for
doing as they did. Bob was fairly
elected and should have been given a
seat.-Neav UEne Revieau

Candidate Price is no SLOUGH.
There's no squeamishness about the
