DUBOIS is BOSS"

The Democratic newspapers of Idaho
make but a pitiable exhibition when
they try to explain charges made pub
ton. They do not explain at all and
they do not attempt to refute a single
charge. So far as the charges of gross
incompetency of the Hunt administra-
ton are concerned all of them with
marvellous unanimity let it entirely
alone. They have no stomach for 1t.
All the Democratic press can say is
that the Republicans fill their papers
with a lot of nonsense about the
supposed bossism of Senator Dubois in
the Democratic party"
On the charges of rank incompetency
Ito use a very mild term) against the
Democratic state administration, open
ly made and backed up by facts and
figures and incontrovertible proof, the
Democratic press and speakers are as
dumb as dough. They realize that
they have no defense and have moth
ing to say Some of them openly de-
nounce Hunts action on the Arney
penitentiary affair. while others feeb
ly defend it, but none of them have
the hardihood to advocate those official
acts of his administration that have
recently been coming to light. The
Republican papers of Idaho have re-
peatedly thrown down the gauntlet,
but the most strenuous efforts so far
have failed to elicit a response. The
Tribune in an article on the infamous
Democratic gerrymander published a
few days ago invited a reply in the
following language, which certainly is

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

The Democratic party, and especially
the Democrats of Idaho seem to have
a monopoly on the art of Juggling with
figures. 1t is said and very thought
fully too, that figures never lie, but it
depends very much upon the manipu-
lator. The other night we were enter
tanned with some of the pregnant evil
dences of this kind in the comparison
of the extravaganza of the Republican
party under Governor Mcconnell with
the wise and economic administration"
Of Governor Hunt. Our friends take
no account of the increase in population
from S4,5S5 in 1896 to 200, 600 in 1902,
with the subsequent improvement and
increase N the valuation of property
of every kind which naturally would
reduce the taxation to the credit of the
Fusionist's administration.
In their platform adopted at the Po-
catello convention you will find these
words:
I'VE call attention to the fact that
the tax levy for state purposes has
been reduced under Democratic armin-
istration. The levy amounted to So
cents on the 800 in 1895. the sixth and
last year of Republican administration
in this state, while in the present it
amounts to only 46 cents on the 500.
Believing the people of the state favor
an honest. efficient and econom-
ical administration of state gov
eminent we appeal with confidence to
the peoples suffrage, and promise to
continue the line of conduct which has
reduced taxation and expenses in the
past"
Now that reads beautifully and the
person who has no knowledge of the
facts cannot be readily induced to I'M
derstand that this paragraph is simply
vote catcher and that the present
Democratic administration requires
more money to pay expenses than did
Governor Mcconnell.
In 1895 the assessed valuation OF the
state was, in round figures. $4,000, 900.
At that time the amount to be raised
for the maintenance of the state gov
eminent was about 1921 600. The as
sessed valuation of the state has risen
now until it stands at $4,000, 900. The
amount to be raised for state govern
ment is s246 900. The levy is made on
last years assessment, when the total
was ISL. 100000.
It will readily be seen that, as the
assessed valuation has increased, the
percentage of tax has decreased. The

DEMOCRATIC DISCREPANCY.

The desperation of Governor Hunt
over the exposure of his utter reckless
ness with respect to his duties is shown
by the defense made in the matter of
his drawing on his travelling expense
fun to pay the expenses of his trip
fund to pay the expenses of his trip
tirely illegal. no defense can be made of
it. and so the usual course is pursued
of pleading that somebody else did
something reprehensible.
The governors organ thus delivers
itself on the subject: 1.-THE records at
the state house show that the latter
(McCOnnelD got an appropriation of
$4,000 for travelling expenses (passed by
a Republican legislature and then drew
a lot of deficiency warrants against the
fund after all the money was gone"
When the governor put his organ in
possession of that startling material he
should have instructed it to verify the
statement before putting it into print.
OF course. it would not help Hunt a
particle If some other governor had
spent $50 900. The question is as to how
he has discharged his duties, and evil

found in the manner in which he ex-
pended this fund.
His only defense is the allegation
that Mcconnell spent $4,000. If that is
a valid defense, it would follow that it
could be invoked if the present governor
had spent as much. The Democrats
profess to think that Mcconnell was a
very bad official, but whenever they
get caught in wrongdoing they at once
appeal to precedent which they claim
to have found in the record of the Nc
Cornell administration.
In this case. however, they go farther
and deliberately misstate the charge,
pretending to believe that the governor
has been criticised for expanding the

diture of the fund but the Illegal man.
ner of its expenditure that has been
pointed out as an illustration of the
recklessness of the present governor
but the defense offered is that Nc
Cornell spent $4,000 while Hunt has
spent only $500.
The fact is that Mcconnell did not
spend $4,000. He spent only $500, small
deficiency being certified by the board
of examiners. The charge made by the
Democrats is on a par with all the 9TH
ers made from time to time against
Mcconnell in the hope of diverting at
tention from the derelictions Of Cover
nor Hunt.
The governors organ says the records
show Mcconnell exhausted an appro-
priation of 5000. They show nothing

REPUBLICAN VICTORY ASSURED.

The denomination of Governor Hunt

assures a Republican victory in the

themselves against the governor. and

THE REASON WHY.
An Open Letter From Hon. James A.
MCGEE.

John Lamb, Esq, Silver City, Ida
Dear Mr.. Lamb: I note what you said
in your paper of the 18th inst. with
reference to my leaving the Democrat
Republican party. I assure you I
made the change for the reason that
in my opinion a time had come when
it was the duty of all fair minded cit
liens that have the welfare OF the
country at heart, to line up with the
Republican party and thus show their
appreciation of the great work the par
ty has done in restoring confidence.
protecting the honor of our nation and
advancing the business interests Of all
sections. They have proven themselves
to be true representatives of the Deo-
pie, ever ready to meet all questions
without fear or hesitation.
When we think of the dreadful con-
dition the country was loft in AZ the
close of the last Democratic admits
tration and of the thousands of peo-
pie that were left homeless and driv-
en- to the poor house and compare the
conditions then with the present con-
ditions and our great prosperity, one
becomes amazed to think that there is
enough Democrats left to justify the
keeping up of an organization.
Well do I remember those dreary
days and nights when I worked for
low wages to buy the necessaries OF
life while my wife busted herself fe ID
ing tramps.
With best wishes for your personal
welfare and the party that saved the
country from disaster, I remain

assessed valuation on which the levy
is based is nearly double, consequent
ly the percentage can be nearly cut in
two and still raise as much money.
AS a matter Of fact, the levy has not
been decreased, as claimed by the plat
form, but has been increased. The
amount now being raised for state pur-
poses is greater than in 1895, though
the percentage is less. That platform
like all those of the Democratic party
stoops to jugglery that is not very
creditable when exposed.

. trifing manner. Had il been known
that such profits were being given to
syndicates. it is fair TO presume that
some one. without regard TO politics
would have enjoined the state board
from taking such action and exposed
their methods long since. The gen
tlemen who were delegates to the Po-
catello convention knew nothing of
this condition. or at least the major
ity of them did not, else the country
would not have been asked to inquire
into the action of this board.

board has been renominated for re-
election and are before the people
asking that they be given an Opportu-
nifty to sacrifice what is left Of the
pine forests in the state of Idaho. The
loss to the state during the last six
years in lumber alone. will amount TO
millions of dollars. To approximate
the loss which the state has and will
sustain by the present management
we have only to ascertain the amount
of timber on an average township and
multiply that by the number of town
ships that are covered by that kind of
timber.
1t is well known by the settlers in the
pine woods that an average quarter
section or homestead claim has on it
about 100000 feet of white pine tim
Der, which would amount to 10. O00.000
feet on a township. There were, at
least. six townships. of this timber or

should have secured. leaving the set

This timber should have brought S5

should have held it as an Investment

at that price would amount to the snug
sum of S12 $50. 900 and that too for white
pine alone. but the state has been re-
,eiving only 81 per thousand thus en-
falling a loss of 80, 100000. while the
additional loss sustained by giving

RESULT OF CONVENTION.

AS a result of the nomination for
governor made at Pocatello and the
prominent part taken therein by
Senators Heitfeld and Dubois, who are
obnoxious to a large number of DEM
ocrats, the outlook for complete DEM
Ocratic success in November is ornt-
nous. For months before the conven-
ton the signs +Fere unmistakable and
those who desired a Democratic victo-
ry in the state began casting about for
another gubernatorial candidate. That
was chiefly due to the influence of the
two United States senators, who after
having been rewarded by the Demo-
cratic party With the highest positions
in its gift, had not the. decency to al
low the party to select its candidate
for governor.
Since the Leader opposed the renom-
ination of Governor. Hunt on the
grounds that he was the weakest can
didate that could be selected in a
close political contest, the result Of the
convention is a matter of great dis
appointment to us from a party stand
point. Beyond this the result does not
affect us. Our course was directed by
the best of party motives and in sup
port of certain Democratic principles
to which we must always adhere.
Principle is stronger than men. and
when a choice must be made. no mis-
take is committed in it's selection We
have performed our duty as we saw It

we made a mistake.-Nampa Leader
