The law states and in no uncertain
terms that on the first Monday in each
month, the clerk, trea surer, sheriff
and other officers. shall make detail
ed statement of every dollar of revenue
that comes into their office. They
shall tell in that sworn statement from
what source the money was received
and also make a detailed stateme mt
showing the distribution OF that in
come. Now this character of state
ment has not been made by any of
the officers. The source of consid-
cradle portion of the income is not
now nor has it been made of record.

There is no reason why an investi-
CATION should not be made of every
office in the county. The argument
that because men are honest they
should not have the affairs of
the county. over which they
have control. investigated, is weak
ness itself. The republican organ
predicts that because such an investi-
cation ia being made that the republi-
can ticket will be elected and that such
Investigation will react against the
democratic party. If desire to
curtail the extravaganza of the officials
of this county will react and defeat
the democratic party. let it do so. hut

TIE republican from the rural dis
tricts is told by the organ of the "big
five" that if he wants to come into the
city for the next month and help pay
some of the expenses of the campaign,
he can have something to say and will
be permitted to associate with the
''big five" This is glorious privi-
lege and should not be overlooked
OF course this is all bluff on the part
of the gang in this oitv. They would
not forgo for one minute the conduct
of the campaign. Let one of the out
side republicans stick his nose into
the councils of the "big five'' and
he will soon find out that his proboscis
is very short.

There are hundreds of democrats

not vote. With republicans it has

the gang republican organ wants the
democratic investigation committee
to cease work, because it claims that
the officers of the county are honest
men. The Sentinel never has charged
that they are dishonest. but it does
claim that it will be more than sub
stantiated that there has been a loose
ness in the condcut of the affairs of
this county, that has been almost
criminal in its nature.

How purile it is to attempt to stop
an investigation of the records of the

been controlling the affairs of Mesa

party has been consistent only in his
mistakes; has shown himself only the
representative of clique; narrow,
incompetent, unfair specimen whose
ouly claim for a reelection is in the
fact that he is useful to a ruthless
association of mine-owpers mainly
non-residents of the state.
This paper is loyal to the democra-
tic party and despite the assertions of
a contemporary, has been SO from its
birth. But political affiliation is
an insignificant thing when it collides
with the proposition of good govern
ment. Therefor we say, as earnestly
as statement incapable of proof can
be said, that were Governor Peabody
today the exponent of the law indicat-
ed, OF the constitution upheld. of
trust consoientiously and rightly ad-
ministered. We should not for an in
staut hesitate TO support his re-elec
tion.
This we hold to be the duty of any
citizen who looks beyond the narrow
walks of politics to the high reaches
where law and justice are enthroned.
The republican administration comes
before us as culprit. not a savior.
1t cannot lay its own deep damnation
upon the shoulders of the Western
Federation or of any other organiza-
tion, however culpable they might be.
Its policy has been to spread strife,
not to allay it. 1t started wrong and
never sought the right. 1t stands for
all that is repugnant to American
ideals and should be buried beneath
the weight of a peoples disapproval.
