The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1898-10-13
ON WITH THE DANCE.
The Campaign is Fairly Opened, and
The Signal

With the desire that equal justice
be done to all, submits a full list Of
those who desire to sacrifice them
selves on their country's altar. AL
together it is a very creditable in
voice; so shake hands around, go in,
and may the best man win-and
heads not sentiments will decide the
issue so far as they are concerned.
But as for the lady nominees-what
shall we say? And no doubt many
a male voter will softly sigh while
making up his ticket and in the Ian
guage of the first poet of the Emer
aid Isle say:
"How happy l could be with either.
Were the other dear charmer away"
so after all, maybe sentiment will, in
the future, become an element in
politics, not to be ignored. So the
SIGNAL, with its best bow, welcomes
her to the new field as an element or
factor whose power is yet undemon-
strated, but certainly will be great,
either for good to others, or work
untold evils for herself. May it be
for the best.
Issues.
These are well defined, as all know.
The democrats, silver republicans and
popuists are united on the great prin
ciples that western interest demand 6
better recognition of western affairs
and that the chief and governing
principle is that the degradation OF
silver and its demonetization is the
wrong of the century, before whicl
all minor political questions are in
significant, and are therefore willing
for the time at least, to lay aside
other issues and join hands and hearts
to declare and demonstrate rs far a
/ they can their belief in the free ant
unlimited coinage of silver and gol'
at the ratio of 16 to | and this also
regardless of the laws, ideas or prac
tices of aay other nation in the world
They further believe that the ne'
condition of affairs brought about b
the war with Spain, is an additions
proof that every commercial interes
demands immediate action on tn
part of our government to restor
silver to its rightful position and b
this means to open the great silve
interests of the west, and by tlll
means give the producer market :
home and save them the eXhorbi tan
tax placed upon all our products b
railways for transporting it to trad
cenlers already glutted.
REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Requires no extended introductio
as it comes before the people fairl
D on the policy enumerated by the n
publican national platform. The sil
gle gold standard and high tariff a
the two most prominent feature
Now the question for the voter to d
eide from political stand is whlt
of these two tickets and the nomine'
on them best represent the presel
and future interest of the county '
live in. The SIGNAL takes pleasu
in introducing to the people Of Il
county the nominees of the two co
yentions with such personal menti'
as may be of interest and it is ab
to gather.
