The Standard in it's last issue,
stated that the democrats were
trading off their legislative ticket.
This is absolutely false. The Stand
ard knows it-knew it when it so
stated, and the statement is in line
with the policy of misrepresenta-
ton, consistently pursued by that
paper throughout this campaign.
Partisan to degree, interruptions
as to it's campaign methods, decep'
tive and artifice are by it, esteemed
proper agents, in it's zeal, as vote
obtained under false pretenses,
counts one.

Attorney Griffith is receiving
hearty support from many leading
republicans because of the splendid
manner in which he has enforced
the laws during his term Of Office.
In the prosecution of criminals he
has been ably assisted by the
sheriff's Office In the selection of
competent jurors. This is a most
important part as without repre-
sentative citizens for jurors it is
almost impossible to secure con.
viction. Vote for Seay and Grit

ISSUES TO CONSIDER.

On next Tuesday the voters Of
Idaho county will be called upon
to express by their ballots, not
only their choice for president of
the United States, but state and
county officials. The many con-
f1icting interests and differences of
opinion makes this no easy task,
especially where the people are in
earnest and sincerely desire to do
that which will result in the great
est and most permanent good.
In the state there are issues to
decide and questions to be answer
ed which are not found in the
national campaign books and
which, from their local Importance
are forcing many temporarily
from their old party affiliations.
The republican party has had en-
tire control of the state during the
past two years and the honest
voter is going to consider how the
acts of this party has effected his in
terests. The sugar bounty which,
If paid, will take nearly a quarter
of q million of dollars from the tax
payers of the state and give it to
the Mormon church which controls
every sugar factory in the state,
has been forced upon the people,
yet they can not show where Ida.
no county has been benefited one
cent; the two-mile limit law which
offered some protection to the
farmer and cattle man from the
ravages of transient bands of sheer
has practically been annulled by 9
republican supreme court and thu
largest sheep owner in the state
has been placed at the head of thu
republican ticket; the Clearwater
franchise by which the control o
the Clearwater river would pas
into the hands of a big lumbe
syndicate is again an issue and j
is known that these same lumbe
barons were an important factor il
nominating the present republican
ticket; the trouble caused settler
over state lands on Joseph plain
was either the result of dishonest,
or incompetency, yet they have in
creased the salaries of all state OF
hcers and the people must pay tn
bills. These are issues which d

The democratic campaigners re.
port good meetings at every place
where they have spoken, and the
people take much interest in the
presentation of the Mormon issue,
two-mile limit law, the sugar beet
bounty and the increase Of state
officers salaries by the last repub-
lican state legislature. From
present indications the county
ticket will be elected by more than
the usual majorities.

The Standard has been asserting
persistently for weeks past that
the democratic party has been in
constant control of Idaho county
for the past forty years, and in
sinuating that the taxes have been
high and all the county indebted
ness created by democratic ex-
travagance or Incompetence.
Now what are the facts?
The democratic party secured
control Of the county in the elec-
ton Of 1896, and took charge in
January, 1897, by installing a
democratic board of county com.
missioners, after four years Of re.
publican rule. They found the
county in debt to the amount oil
$4,000 with a tax levy Of s4,62'
100 on the 500 valuation. After
eight years of democratic control,
the Indebtedness has been reduced
to S27, 900, and the tax levy to 81
on the 500 valuation, notwith.
standing the school levy included
in this has been increased one
mill.
These figures are taken from the
county records and are absolutely

which every good citizen can well
