CELEBRATION p
GREAT SUCCESS
Largest Crowd in the History of Boomers Ferry
Assembled Here the 4th

The 4th of July celebration was
a great success in every particular.
A great crowd was present and
the program was carried out almost
to the letter as advertised in the
HERALD last week. The parade
was formed on nearly the order in
program and made an imposing
line of march, extending back a
surprisingly long distance.
Arriving at the schoolhouse steps
the Declaration of Independence
was read by William VAnGasken
to large concourse Of people. The
size of the crowd was another SUI
prising feature-surpriss that there
were so many people in the
couatry.
The balance of the day WAS given
up to racing and Csledonian sports
the celebration closing with Q
grand, free ball, the people filling
the big hall 10 overlooking.
The music furnished by tn,
Bonners Ferry Cornet Band wa'
highly entertaining and added
much to the enlivenment of thu
occasion.
The prizcs awarded were:
Boys' foot race-~Aldrich first
Causton, second.
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1904-07-08

The HERALD believes that the
Republican organization and adj
ministration of Kootenai county is
entitled to vote of confidence
from Republicans for the following
reasons:
/. Because the administration
has been honest. able and economi-
cal.
2. Because having been faithful
public servants, common courtesy
entities them to a second term.
3. Because these men, having
gone up against fusion majority
OF 400 two years ago aid won,
should not be turned down now
except foi cause-and that cause
something more than the hungry
appetite of their opposition for
office.
4. Because the opposition to the
present organization and admins
tration is being aided and fomented
by men some OF whom openly de-
clare that they will not abide by
the result of the convention unless
they have their way.
/ 5. Be,suse the opposition il
being led by a man who two years
l ago assaulted every principle of Re
publicanism, insultel Republics nj
in personal attacks, and is even
now claimed by certain Democrats
as one of their number, and who i.
known to hold closer political com
munion with certain Democratic
leaders than with Republican lead
ers generally.

THE REPUBLICAN
PRIMARY ELECTION
There are Good Reasons Why Republicans
Should Stand Pat.

6. Because the opposition push
is actively aiding and abetting the
opposition to the present Republi-
can administration and organiza-
ton, and basing their hopes of
DE- moeratic success on their ability
to stir up Republican strife.
7. Because the false and mali
cious attack against .he Republi-
can organization and administra-
ton, found in newspaper not of
the Republican faith, and which no
Republican newspaper would be
guilty CT publishing, which articles
bear the ear marks of an office
seeker of the opposition organiza-
ton, shows plainly the rule or ruin
tactics employed which is not good
Repuolicsnism.
8. Because it is the duty of Re-
publicans to uphold their leaders
when they have proven themselve,
worthy. not to join with opposition
i'll assailing them.
9. Because it is Republican t.
the core and does not lean or
questionable politics for support.
10. Because, speaking of loca
conditions, the present Republican
administration has granted every
petition signed and sent from Bun
ners Ferry and the KooteLai Val
ley, and good roads, bridges AM
ferries are being constructed. w
are getting something for our take
and the people never had more ia
vurs from ANY administration.

hh hOpuOilCdh pIeCiuCt NOul
mitteeman of Boomers Ferry pre-
cinct is M. Bruce, a progressive
rancher living just south of town.
Mr.. Bruce was selected by unani-
nous vote of the delegates at the
county convention two years ag).
We understand that certain Re-
publicans are severely criticising
that selection and want to know
WHY it was done.
There were a number of reasons
why his name commended itself
to the delegates.
To understand the matter better
it is best to consider conditions as
they existed two years ago. At
that time the committeeman of this
precinct neglected absolutely to is
sue call for a primary. The day
had been designated by the county
committee, but the precinct COM
mitteeman refused to issue a call
designating place or an hour, al
though requested to do so by local
Republicans, and in honor bound
to do 80 by reason of his position
as committeeman. Republican
had to line up on the sidewalks
and stand on guard to prevent a
snap judgment primary being held
and the stealing of a delegation
from Boomers Ferry.
Mr.. Bruce had taken an active
stand against this evident purpose
to disfranchise the Republicans OF
Boomers Ferry and accom- plish By
political jobbery what they could
not secure by an honest ballot All j
q fair count. He was a Republi-
can in every way worthy of the
honor and his activity in opposing
these jobbers probably suggested
his name,
He was selected and he has dis
charged his duties honorably aud
creditably.
The objection to Mr.. Bruce comes
from the same source as that which
attempted the primary job two
years ago. The same men are work
ing together this year to accom-
plish by deceit and falseLood what
they attempted to do two years ago
by brazen job.
The HERALD invites the closest
inspection into the record of Mr..
Bruce as compared with the record
made by the former committeeman.
