The board of supervisors counts this year more than ever. Large sums of money will be in their con- trol, and the fellow who pays the taxes should see to it that Honest J. c.

A wise handling of this money means a wonderful change in the matter of taxes, and unwise management means years more of debt and high taxes.

Harry Henderson, the republican

Harry Henderson, the republican candidate for sheriff, is a clean, bright young man, who has roughed it all over the territory. He knows the people, and is a part of the people. As sheriff he would give the people a full accounting. In all the years he has lived in the territory there has never been one black mark against him, and once a friend with him, means a friend ship of lifetime. He is the sturdy, steady kind of a man that men like to tie to.

The democrats are becoming ex- ceedingly anxious and worried over the great inroads Candidate Morri- son is making into the democratic majority, and have commenced to rake and scrape for something mean to say of him.
 Tote fair, gentlemen, on straight party issues, for there is mighty little for democrats to gain by any such procedure. The Mormon vote don't necessarily belong to the dem ocratic party. and recent events among these people have frightened the democrats
 If the issue is on what the demo- crats have promised the people for years, and not what they really have done, then certainly the dem ocrats have the republicans on the hip; it is impossible to outpromise them.

The democrats are strangely si- lent as to what their intentions are relative to salary grabbing during the time the county shall be of Class l. There is no question as to the stand the republicans take upon this important proposition to the taxpayer. Their stand says:
 OLD SALARIES REMAIN-No GRAB
 IF YOU ELECT OUR CANDIDATES.
 This means something like S16,- 900 to you who pay taxes.
 If you vote the republican ticket you know what salaries are to be paid; you know what it means to pay high taxes, and here's a dead sure shot that they will be less if the republican ticket is elected.

The split ticket idea is mainly used by our smooth democratic brethren for the purpose of befool- ing the republicans sufficiently to elect a democratic ticket.

The only statement so far heard from any democratic source is that they want all the salaries the law allows If the work of county off, cials was increased, then their pay

These two men were the ones who aroused the county, and through them an appeal was made to every congressman and senator to pre- vent the passage of the act without some concession to the county. As a result, taxes of s175 per mile will be paid into the county treasury. Why not, MT.
