with them that the primary was the
cause of Dan Jackson being elected
Sheriff. but the Bosses have no one
to blame for that but themselves.
Dan Jackson was the honest choice
OF the primaries, for he pollcd the
largest number OF votes, but the
Bosses had promised Eugene Ian
ham the nomination, aud when
they got into their county conven
tion, against tho EXPRESSED will OF
the people. But the nomination
had to como before the people
again and the Bosses nominee
found himself defeated for the
second time. he is not likely to
forget it for some time on accou MT
of the size of his assessment for
campaign expenses.
"What | desire you to say is that
this thing OF chingiug back To tho
old county Convention is nothing
more or less than u scheme OF the
Bosses to get the power in their
hands onco more so they can con-
trol the nomination Of candidates.
1t has been demonstrated timo and
again that they could control the
county convention. but one trial
proved TO them that they could not
control the primary. The reason
of this is that there arc hundreds Of
Republicans who will take no part
or attend the county convention,
but X yor give them an opportunity
to 20 To their voting precincts so
they can vote for their choice they
will turn out almost to man. In
this way the Bosses are powerless to
put up a job. II the Bosses desire
to be fair in this matter let them
change the primary to read that the
man receiving plurality ~ the
votes, where three or more candl-
dates are in tho field for tho same
Office, be declared the nominee of
the party. No one can object to
this. 1t Is fair and honest. The
primary systcm is the only chance
for the poor man. He has no show
in a county convention. The
Bosses are supreme there. hope
you will expose this contemplated
change 80 the people will not be
deceived in this matter" and the
candidate left ME with profuse
thanks at my vigilance, and | am
happy in the thought that the
Bosses will remember me kindly
should | ever be candidate for
Office. TIE LoUNGER.

SOME REFERENCE TO AILUsIoNs.

The Journal is not aware that

instead OF personal abuse. Last
week 1t unbosomed itself of choice
selection of its epi,hets aud vituper-
atoms 1t hopes that the editor Of
the ARoUs will return from old
Reno under more favorable cir
cumstances u an did former
editor Of the ARGUS" The Jour.
nal should remember that "compar-
sous arc odious," and il the ARGUS
desired to retort that it could tell
Of {" Circumstances" which other
men who reside in the county have
been guilty of that would reflect
credit upon the former editor Of the
ARGUS.
We seek no personal controversy
with the 70 hren of the JoKrnals
We have oatered the campaign for
n political discussions, and il at
times it becomes necessary for MS to
mention the names Of the gentle
men who are running the Repub.
iican party Of Preston county" let
our brethren recollect that the poll.
tician who expects to ride into
Office on the votes OF the people
should not object to us exposing
the methods by which he expects TO
secure the office, for this VIC intend
to do without fear. favor or personal
friendship. We wear tho collar Of
no Boss we accept the dictates Of
no political trio st r; we fear tho
wrath of no bully. and will sing the
praises OF no man who htppens TO
be " rich and influential" when

unworthy.
IT, perchancc, as tho Journal
intimates, that We are ignorant and
minus an education, and that we
are unable to cope with tho learn 4

ROAD REFORM.
The Views OF Another Farmer and
Tax Payer.

EDITOR ARGUS -
see in your last issue an article
from " Uncle Tommy Hawker,"
giving his views Of working the
county roads, a part Of which !
heartily indoise. His views are to
do away with part Of the Road Sur.
yeyors, but go further and say do
away with them all, then let the
County Court make an appropria.
ton sufficient TO work all the roads
Of the county md sell them out in
contracts TO the lowest responsible
bidder. Let County Road Super
intendent be elected TO superintend
them and see that the roads are
kept IN proper condition. One
Road Surveyor is enough for each
distric' and allow him S1.50 per
day, which will save enough money
under the present system TO keep
them in good repair. In conclu-
sion | would like for the Cou nty
Court, or at least the Commissioner
from Portland District. to arise and
explain why it cos. 80 much more
to boss the working Of the road
from Terra Alta to St. Joe than for
the work itself.
Yours for Road Reform,
CLOD HOPPER.

The Lounger is approached every
day in the week and twice on Sun.
day by some one who desires TO
ven;ilate his views and knowledge
before the public. II l had the
time would AJAX no better fun
han to accommod ,te them, for the
public looks, aud properly so, to
the newspaper for the latest news
IN the county, state and rational
n ,irs. Politics is the chief topic
of conversation these DAYS and as II
natural consequence | am carried
ilong with the tide. This is not to
my liking. however. for it becomes
MY painful duty at times TO expose
he tricks of the Bosses which they
have learned ut :. great sacrihco Of
conscience
There are q great many candi-
dates who are roaming around over
he fields these days who believe
they stand u first.class show OF cap
turing the nomination for some
office in the Banner county. il they
could only fud some medium by
which they could convey their
heart.aciIcs to Che public and let
them know how near they are out
OF provender, before che BOSSES
head them of. They come to me
III scores, asking thit inform the
public Of their intentions and their
nndying determinatiom to serve tie
public for four years, if not forever
They believe the Automlt Decider
in the hands of the journal is y
dangerous al imal TO ride into Office
on, aud for this reason they come
TO me to plead their case.
Within the last few weeks the can.
didates who have been denied the
key to the Automatic Dccider have
come 10 me with blood in their eyes
md stuff d club in their hands
and asked me TO please expose the
movement which is on foot 20 do
away the primary system Of select
ing candidates. The Latest c4ndi-
date to appro ch me on tho subject,
said The ARGUs is doing
splendid work for the people, and
lithough You differ with me in
politics ! cannot help congra,ula.
ting you on yoir cIcellent SUCCESS
in exposing the treachery Of our
Leaders in this county. They pro.
fees to DC playing tho role Of hands
of in the contest which is being
waged by the different candidates
for Office, but 1T the same time the
slate is made mp and the men who
aro not members Of the Ring are
left of and will have 20 takO back
seats. The latest ." nefarions
scheme on foot is to have the
Executive Committee do away
with the primaries and 60 back to
the old convention system which
they controlled so long. They
are pretty sly IN working their
'nefarious scheme on the peopl /.
They approach tie subject to the
unsuspecting Republican aud repre-.
sent to him that the primary sys.
tennis too costly aud caused All the
trouble in our party, AL % which
sounds very plausible 20 the man

He returned ut noon, having

Mr.. Bowser descended TO the

carried it up. 1T WAS six inches
too high. The next was four
inches too short. The third was
almost long enough to make two
