E. A. Lamb and George Gibson. The

E. A. Lamb and George Gibson. The
contest was friendly one and the
! latter candidate, though defeated fol
the nomination, was well pleased with
the vote he received and the struggle
left no i'll feeling. The rest OF the
nominations were made by acclama-
| ton.
With regard to the charge that it
was one man convention, this man
accused by the Miner OF running the
| convention was not even delegate to
the convention. He did not name a
delegate and the Leader hereby offers
$100 if one man can be produced who
will say that he was Influenced in any
way or that any attempt was made to
influence him by this man whom the
Miner charges ran the convention.
This is a standing offer. If any man
can be produced who will say that
John Satterlund influenced or attempt
cd to influence his vote in the conven-
tion for the nomination of any candi-
date, The Leader will pay 500 to the
man producing him.
1t is admitted that Mr.. Satterlund
was interested in and made sugges
tons for delegates to the state con-
vention and to the judicial and legisla-
tive conventions, and in the naming
of the central committeeman. This
was done that the delegates might be
well distributed geographically and
that central committee might be Sc
lected that would work for public har
mony and a big republican majority.
He was entitled to consideration in
the selection Of delegates and central
as is every other republi-
can who is interested in the political |
future of the county and the polling Of /
a big republican vote. But the state
ments Of the Miner that he named or
attempted to name republican candi-
lates for county office are untrue, and
he offer of 500 made above should
show whether the Miner is lying or
rot.
We leave it to the delegates who
ire thus insulted by the Miner with
he statements that they were there,
lot as Representatives of their dis
riots but as representatives of one
nan, whether the Miners statements
ire true Or not. There were at the
three of the leading citi-
ems of Underwood. who have not
polien except to approve the action of
he delegates. The Miner was not
bic even to be present as a delegate,
ut he continues to howl about some
hing he knows nothing about

ing new court house at Washburn.

ing new court house at Washburn.
The Miner editor ought to be better
informed. He ought to know that the
tax levy is specific, and that the taxes
SO collected cannot be expended for
other purposes than those named i'll the
levy, and if he doesn't, the county COM
missioners themselves do know that
even were they SO disposed to expend
this money in the way the Miner editor
states, they would run up against an in
junction in the twinkling of an eye.
Furthermore, much as the people of
Mclean county like Mr.. Satterlund, we
do not believe that they are yet ready
to donate him the building now used
for court house at Washburn. 1t is
not true that this building stands OH
Mr.. Satterlund's lot, as stated in the
Miner. The lot is decided to the county.
1t was given as donation, and the
deed contains a provision that the lot
shall revert back to its original owner
whenever it is no longer used for court
house purposes. Most deeds given for
public utilities contain such clause
Were the county seat to be moved the
building could not go with it, but the
county has made continuous use of this
for twenty years, and has ap-
parcntiy gotten very fair value for its
cost. But as we quoted in previous
sentence we don, believe the people of
Mclean county are ready yet to cast
aside this building, and the premise that
The county commissioners will project
the hoped for cash surplus into new
court house in Wasl1burn or anywhere
else is the apex of idiocy.-Wilton

A CHANCE OF FRONT.

After berating without stint the man
agement by the republicans of the
county affairs of Mclean county, the
editor of the Mclean county Miner
suddenly discovers that through the
methods employed by this selfsame man
agcment there is liable to be created in
the county treasury in the near future
a surplus Of $4,000, and he is seized
with a new fear lest the county commits
sioners suddenly and without warning
proceed to cxpend the $45,000 in build
The Washburn leader., 1904-10-22

When business is good, crops abundant
and prices satisfactory, it is hard to in
tcrest people i'll politics. When times
arc hard, distress abroad and workers
have plenty Of leisure, then politics i'll
tcrcst them Then ii is no difficult mat
ter to get large audiences to listen to
all sides of the question, and all sorts
OF political rostrun1s receive approval!
This year there is very general feel
ing abroad as times are good it is we'll
this is fact. it will not pay for voters
to Let well enough alone. Bur even if
on whose shoulders rest the responsible
ity Of good government, to stay at

lair, 10 take care of themselves. Once
III two years is by no means too often
lor the sovereign voters of the state
to go to the polls and record their ap-
proval or otherwise OF the way things
have been managed i'll the past, and the

Lean county by the republicans justifes
the voters in giving them new lease

truly said ''In the history of Mclean
county there has never been a more har-
monious convention of the republican
party than the one held Monday The
delegates returned to their several homes
Tuesday more than pleased with the
ticket placed in nomination. The candi-
dates are all we'll known and that they
will poll an Overwhelming majority is TO
say the least The delegates from the

In 1860 when the Republican party
first came into power this was almost
exclusively an agricultural country and
the policy of the Democratic party was
to keep it so. That party said the
United States is destined to be the
granary of the world, but manufact-
uring country never. The Republican
policy was to make it great manu-
featuring as we'll as agricultural
country, and it has done so In the
year 1900 the United States produced
one-third of all the manufactured
products of the world and shipped
them broadcast to foreign markets.
This never could have been done un-
der the Democratic policy of free
trade.

"By their works shall We know

American people to know that the
Democratic party can he safely i'll
trusted with power? There is not a
single distinctive policy Of the party
that, put to the test, ever worked with
out creating damage. The Democratic
party has favored slavery, free silver
and free trade, but never IL single
principle has it ever favored that
meant greater happiness and prosper
ity for the American people. The Repub-
lican party freed the slaves, and it has
stood and still stands for sound money
and protection to American industries.
It is the party Of construction, not the
party of destruction.

Engines

How many people, when buy
ing gas engines stop to consider
complications There are few.
II they would only investigate
the different makes before decid-
ing on the purchase there would
be fewer repair shops over the
land. A spring here and a gear
there, and loaded down with lot
of inventions, most people say,
"That must be a good engine. ="
Well, they buy it. In q little
while, to keep it going, they com.
mence to tinker, and the more
time and money spent the more
she gets out of whack. Then
they realize that it takes an ex-
pert to do anything with it. Now
if they had only bought a simple
engine-one that would not run
because it did not have a lot OF
fixtures-they could have avoided
the expense and delay.
Our advice to you is not to
overlook the "Stoner" when you
are thinking of buying an engine
as we can prove to you that it il
the simplest engine built, and We
feel satisfied that it will give you
but very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the "Stoner," as il
gives them but little work.

And we must now continue our
Beauty Sermon" which we did not
finish last week.
We are all of US greatly affected
by the people we meet. Have you
not, many a time, started the day
with all sorts of great ambitions
struggling in your soul? And
haven't you met a pessimistic NOR
tai who, fguratively speaking, hit
you on the head with a skillet?
Where's your days sunshine? Back
hiding under a thunderbolt.
Beautifying is no small, trifing,
frivolous ambition. 1t is the little
kernel from which grows a great big
budding thing which is recognized
as success. We haven't any time
these days for the woman who is
sloppily gowned or who is stupid of
mind. Intelligence shows itself in
dress, manners, conversation and
deeds. And any intelligent woman
will confess that identifying is a
part of her existence. B~eautifying
helps her to be good to her neighbor,
instead of increasing her own bump
of vanity. It makes her better, fair
er-minded, gentler, sweeter. Don't
tell me that rational, sensible beau
tifying is a foolish thing. 1t is en-
nobling to the soul and it sweetens
the heart with the sugar of kind
ness, which is vastly better than the
glucose of idleness and incorrect
living.
Beauty of one kind or another is
possible to everybody.
1t is an interesting moment in q
woman's life when shei is suddenly
aware of the fact thatjshe might i'm.
prove herself. Responsibilities Of
identifying are beyond reckoning
From one Improvement one drifts
into another, Itand inside of si1
