Rumors are afloat to the fact
that Gregory and Henley have
made a joint affidavit denying that
they collected the Robert Nugent
license. These affidavits will no
doubt be held back until the last
moment for the reason that they
will not bear investigation. AS
these two gentlemen have been in
partnership throughout the whole
of this miserable license business,
it is eminently proper that they do
their swearing jointly also, each
swearing to what the other has
done and said in his absence. This
also reminds one of the other affi-
davit about the $500 shortage
which was prepared by Henley
and sworn to by Gregory. The
public will no doubt see to it that
this partnership is not carried or
at the county scat for the mex
four years.

Before another issue of the FREE
PRESS appears the election will be
over and we feel confident that the
fairminded and unprejudiced citi-
zcns of Idaho county regardless of
party will bear us out in the state
ment that their County paper has
been conducted throughout the
campaign in spirit of fairness to
all.
With reference to the charges
against Sheriff Gregory and his
Deputy, they were based upon the
findings of the Board of County
Commissioners, and are part of the
official records of the county, and
are also admitted in Mr.. Gregory's
sworn statement, in which he
claims that he forgot to pay over
$500 of County money collected in
1898, until the shortage was
brought to light by other parties.
The publication of these charges
was urged upon us by good citizens
of all parties as a plain duty to the
public. They were published ear
ly in the campaign, giving those
who were interested ample time to
investigate them and refute them
if in their power to do so. 1t is
their misfortune and not our fault
if they have not succeeded in refut-
ing them.
If there are any who look for
sensational matter affecting any OF
the candidates to appear in the
columns of the FREE Press at the
eleventh hour they will be disap-
pointed, as it is not the policy Of
this paper to publish charges
against any man without giving
him an opportunity to defend him
self befoi the people, and we take
this opportunity to warn the peo
pie of Idaho county against this
contemplate practice in whatever
form it may appear. We know
there is nothing in which they be-
lieve more firmly than in the prin
ciple of fair play, and that they viii
not be misled by this old trick o
the professional politician, but will
have the good sense to brand a
false an malicious any slander
may appear upon the eve of the tina
election and that any efforts il
that direction will react upon th'
perpetrators.
