THE ELEVATION OF POLITICS
That has been the Result of
Equal Suffrage in Wyoming.

The following letter was written
by Miss Estella Reel, state superin-
tendent of public instruction Of
Wyoming Read what the lady
has to say:
"What has woman suffrage done
for Wyoming, you ask? 1t has
made the state celebrated for its
advanced position upon the econo-
mic questions of the age. Since the
adoption of woman suffrage in
Wyoming, and its success, equal
suffrage has become feature of
the governmental policy of very
many commemorative in various
parts of the world. Equal suffrage
has in a degree removed a large
class Of the citizens Of the state from
being a dependent class, and made
them Independent. The elevation
of large portion of the population
of any state from a condition of
political slavery to political liberty,
cannot help but elevate such a state
politically.
Even in the short time women
have enjoyed political equality in
Wyoming, their influence for good
has been felt. Our elections are
conducted more orderly than in
any other state; all political parties
are extremely careful of the char
acter of the candidate they select,
and, it is safe to assert, no motor
iously bad man could be elected to
office in Wyoming.
Our teachers are better paid
than in other parts Of the country,
and what, perhaps, aids our schools
more than any other cause, is the
fact that in Wyoming women teach
ers are paid as well as men where
they perform similar work. This
has always been the rule in Wyo-
ming and while it may only be a
coincidence, yet it is significant
one, that the percentage of illiteracy
is less in Wyoming than in any
other state in the Union.
advanced educational interes
is one Of the desirable results 0
equal suffrage.
"MISS ESTELLE REEL,
Superintendent of education o
the state of Wyoming"

Fads in Medicine.

There are fads in medicine as in
everything else and "new thing"
frequently sells for a short time
simply because it is new. But in
medicine, as in nothing else, the
people demand and will be satisfied
only with positive, absolute merit.
The fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
has stood it's ground against all
competition, and its sales have new
er wavered but have remained
steadily at the top, demonstrates,
beyond any doubt, the intrinsic
virtues of this medicine. The new
things have come and gone but
Hoods Sarsaparilla rests upon the
solid foundation of absolute merit
and its power to cure, and its sales
continue to be the largest in the
world

Donnelly's Platform.

5. 7. DONNELLY has announced
himself as an independent candi-
date for the state senate on the sim
pie platform of "free silver and Du-
bois." Mr.. Donnelly is the only
Dubois man in the field for the SEN
ate, and will be elected. The dem
ooratic- populist candidate, S. R.
Catlow is against Dubois, and can
not carry his own precinct, while
A. A. Crane, the Judas Iscariot Of
the republican party, is no longer
recognized as a Dubois man, he
having betrayed his party and gone
over to the goldbugs, not having
been able to stand the pressure of
Mark Hanna's arguments. This
leaves Mr.. Donnelly free field, and
the true silver men will give him
their hearty support, knowing that
he is man who cannot be bought,
and when elected to the state senate
will leave no stone unturned to
right the wrong done to the man
who has proven himself benefac-
tor to the whole country. Let all
silver advocates vote and work fol-
ST Donnelly, and they will never
have cause to regret it.-Hope Elk

John J. Costello is one of the
most popular democrats in Koot-
enai county. This is shown by the
large vote always polled for him
when he was a candidate for office.
Here are some observations of
Honest John" on the political sit
uation, and they are true as gospel:
"The combination was formed at
Rathdrum for the sole purpose of
defeating Dubois in Kootenai
county.
After the fusion was effected
heard an honest pop remark that it
appeared to him as if Mark Hanna
or Marks ghost was close by taking
an occasional shot with his gold
dust squirt gun.
May heavens brightest light
illuminate the pathway of S. p.
Donnelly, G P. Hill, VIM. VanGas-
ken and Richard Altman, for they
represent the true democracy as
taught by our national leaders.
Vote for S. P. Donnelly who is
now in the race for state senator
against A. A. Crane and Catlow.
A. A. Crane became totally in
capacitated for active service while
in Boise City, Aug. 26, owing to a
complication of diseases inflicted by
a blast from Mark Hanna's gold
dust squirt gun.
Vote for Donnelly and you vote
for man who cannot be bought,
bluffed or frightened. Hurrah for
Dubois! JOHN }. COSTELLO.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
The Official Count VIII he n Matter OF
DinicuIty and Unusual Delay.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2G-The presidcn-
tial election of Tuesday, November }
next will held under conditions which
have never befor, prevailed and which
will render the official count
matter of difficulty and I'M
usual delay Since the last
presidential contest almost every state
which has no Australian ballot system
has, by state enactment, prescribed
some form of secret blanket ballot,
either based on the Australian plan or
closely resembling it. The only excep-
tons are Georgia. Louisiana, North
Carolina, South Carolina. In the first
three states named the old open ballot
system prevails and the election ma
chinery is in the hands of the state
authorities. In South Carolina there
is what is called a reform ballot"
the avowed purpose of which is to re-
strict the votes of illiterate Negroes.
In nearly all the other states
blanket ballots will be cast and in
many of them the count will be COM
plicated by the fact that state, legisla-
tive and county nominations are all
printed on the same ballot with the
names of presidential electors. Con-
necticut has an envelope system and
New Jersey prints each party ticket
upon a separate ballot.
Should the election be in any way
close, it is therefore quite possible
that it may he ~ hours or even IS hours
after the polls are closed before the re-
suit is known with absolute certainty.
