Money to Loan!

CERTAINTY OF CoNrRAcT.-The
loan plan here offered by The Fi>
deity is that of paying off loan
by easy monthly payments. The
contract is definite and certain. By
its terms it cannot run BEYOND the
time fixed, but stock participates in
earning and may mature sooner. IT
is NOT a loan upon the building
loan plan as usually presented by
associations. 1t differs from such
plan, in that
a No fines are charged the borrower.
b The maximum number of payments re-
quired to pay off is stipulated In the note.
The sum required to pay off and cancel
loan, or any part of it, is stipulated in the
note for each period.
Certainty and monthly payment plan
is au advantage to the borrower. QD The
debt can be paid off before maturity with
out penalty. (2) The borrower by easy pay
ments gets out of debt. Straight loans for
a term of years are too often renewed.
Three terms or payment are offered. 1t
takes a small monthly payment longer to
cancel debt than it does larger one.

READY TO REPEAL 1T.

The Republican leaders have decided
to repeal the ballot law at the coming
session of the legislature. 1t has done
its dirty work, accomplished its ne.
farious purpose and is of no further
use.
To face another election with this
Ubiquitous measure to defend Is not a
pleasing prospect for the party in
power. From one end of the state to
the other come only criticism and de-
nunciation of this law.
Perhaps the beneficiaries may be sat-
isfied with its workings but there are
cases where Its rigid Interpretation has
cost Republicans an office. They
threaten to contest and attack the law.
The real intent of the repealers is to
rescue their party from future peril.
Fusion having been outlawed and the
Populist driven to one of the old
parties, there is no longer need Of an
unfair law. Not only must the party
defend it unless repealed, but its work
ings hereafter will hurt the majority
more than the minority. Like al! un-
just methods it will come home to roost
if left on statute books.
Under It's provision there will be no
more splitting among opposition voters.
1t drove the opposition together this
year to some extent but not so perfectly
as it will next time because it required
one election to give the voters an OBJ

The county commissioners corrected
the error and declared the election of

IT'S A GO.

In behalf of Nixon, the defeated re-
publican cand idate for representative,
the Cresset, his official mouth piece,
proposes a recount. That is just what
the Independent people have been
wanting and if the republican machine
is sincere this matter can be speedily
settled out Of court. And If the re-
count takes place and is conducted
fairly, it should include every other
county officer. 1t would not only show
majority but all the other indie pendent
candidates excepting two.
But we are inclined to think that the
proposition Is mere bluff. They
don't want a re count unless they are

thing won't be tolerated for single
moment. The machine may as we'll be

ed. They are going down into their
pockets to fight for their rights and
when men from all over the county
take that much interest something is
liable to drop. If republicans are to be
seated in the face CT the fact that other
candidates receive the highest number
of votes, there is no further use of 60
ing to the expense of holding elections.
Simply let few bosses fix it up and
put it through a packed convention
and let the people pay the taxes. Are
you for that kind of government? If
not, get in with the multltudes now,

THE INTENTION OF THE VOTER.

Since the election is over, leading
men in politics throughout the state
have gone to criticising the new ballot
law. From returns so far received, it
is agreed by all parties that from SO, 900
to As 900 ballots cast were not counted.
The intention of the voter in these re-
jected ballots was plain, but the law is
so hedged about with technicalities
that there were grounds for throwing
them aside.
Everybody admits that these votes
should have been counted. Gov. Bailey,
a republican, the newly elected chief
magistrate, is quoted as saying so and
in fact the leading attorneys of the
county and state say so. The senti-
ment is universal. The legislature.
although strongly republican. will be
forced to restore in part at least, the
right of franchise. Many of them have
already pledged themselves in favor of
it and those who still stand for the other
thing Will be compelled to come down
on account of public indignation. The
intention of the voter has always gov
erned heretofore. The highest court
has so held repeatedly. It is a prlnci-
pie founded on honesty and justice and
this year ought not to be made an ex-
ception. The fundamental principle up
o. which freedom is based is the ex-
tension of the right of franchise. What
does it matter what we may think on
public questions if we can not get our
votes counted?
That sort of thing may be tolerated
