Dear SIR
Being unable 70 meet and personally
converse with you, desire to ask you
a few questions which hope you will
think over carefully and should bust
ness bring you to Rathdrum, hope You
will call and give me your views con
corning them. Do you own u quarter
section OF land? The Northern Pacific
owns one million seven hundred acres.
all given to it free. Do you pay taxes on
your land? The Northern Pacific paws
none. Do you believe that the Kings OF
C@ur d'Alene, sometimes called the
Mine Owners Association, who have
sworn to elect Mcconnell even if they
have to buy thousand votes, should be
allowed to rule the state of Idaho :?
Whom do YOU think are morally re-
sponsibie for the murders that took
place last summer in Shoshone county :?
The men who lied to union miners and
to non-union miners inducing the latter
to come there, or the pinkerton Thugs
who insulted honest women and intim
itiated free American citizens? Do Won
think that the kings OF CCcur d'Alene
are guilty Of treason against the U. s.
for violating the law by importing armed
bodies Of men? Do you believe that
the odious contract labor law which was
passed BY republicans in 1864 and dis
graced the statute books until 1885, when
it was repealed by the democrats, made
Duke Carnegie and his kind million
aires, and made the working man
slave? | also desire TO call YOUR atten-
ton to the fact that every member OF
the Mine Owners Association is
republican and that Hon. J. NJ. Burke
Is an owner and operator OF mines but
has repeatedly declined to join the Mine
Owners Association. He believes that
Labor has as good a right to organize
as capital has" You are aware that
this state has been disgraced and almost
banSrupted by republican admins
tration. Have You read Sweets letter
ridiculing NcConuelIs candidacy. You
know that ii YOU vote the repub lican
ticket this fall You are voting high
tax for yourself and binding tighter the
chains OF the working man.
Dare you, as Il believer in the Almigh-
ty God and His retribative justice, as Al
enemy Of IN lnopoly and friend OF labor
ratiiy crime and endorse these western
Carnegies who sit upon their blood
stained thrones in tyrannized Cpur d.
Alene. Vote as you pray for life, liberty
and daily bread.
Yours far Honesty and -y4.A,
f.. l.. MINIS.
The above is an exact copy OF cam
paign letter that IS being secretly mailed
20 different parts OF the county by Chair
man Minis, of the democratic county
central committee. 1t only adds one
more TO the many slanlerous libels that !
have been put in circulation by the man
ayers OF the democratic campaign. They
have produced no arguments TO show
that the republican nominees should /
not be elected; but devote them selves /
to utterances that smack Of anarchy |
and the vil!ifying q republican candi-
dates. Their campaign has been one oil
mud singing and abuse. It i. disgust. |
ing to respectable people of all political
parties who have any regard for decency. !
We 10 not believe the voters Of Koot. /
enai county will have the wool pulled /
over their eyes by such utterAnces. /,
is hardly necessary to deny them rs
all people who read the papers know
them to be tissue Of falsehooda. Cit.
zens vote your sentiments Vote for
for anarchy or law ard order.
