THAT MARCH LETTER

The Republican papers and speak
ers are making much Of q letter
written last spring by Judge March
to a paper in his district, presumably
for local reasons, which we did not
then and do not now understand,
in which he very clearly showed
that there had been extraordinary
demands made upon the county for
which the court was In no manner
responsible, which extraordinary de-
mands increased the expenses over
ordinary years. There was no public
demand for the letter, because the
people well understood that the
building OF the court house would
cause additional expenses, and
there was no public charge OF ex
trayaganoe to defend. THE 1IMEs
did not publish the letter at the
time because il was not addressed tC

topublish it, and there was no NOR
reason why we should havepublishec

porary, than We should publist
Others, similarly addressed, which
appear in the county papers weekly

have discovered something very re
markable in this letter, on the eve o
the election, and are trying to dis
tort Judge March's meaning, il

no CREATE DOUBT AND DlSTRuST
Two weeks ago Atkeson presented
a mess of figures through the Record
TO show that the balances In the
county treasury on the lat OF May,
1904, were not so large as they were
live years before, although from his
own figures the very comfortable bal
ance OF over S24 600 remains We
conceded the correctness OF his fig
ures without investigation and con-
tended that II it could be shown that
during the years to which he referred,
demands for extraordinary expenses
occurred for which the court was not
responsible, then his argument that
The court had been extravagant
would not hold. We then showed by
indisputable f gures that the extra
ordinary expenses during that period
were more than the differences In the
balances. Instead OF Mr.. AtReSon
challenging the correctness OF our de.
auctions or denying that our figures
were correct, he ignored them and
dished up full page Of conelomerat-
ed. disconnected mess of stuff that is
impossible OF analysis in any reason.

were not already convinced by his
past attempts Of similar character,
lust before each election, that the
only OF jet was to crea'e doubt and
distrust in the minds of the voters,
the present effort would beproof pos
tive beyond the possibility OF a
doubt.
The financial statement for the
county was published in May, and
for six months had not been ques-
toned, then on the eve of election
Atkeson pretends to discover that
something is wrong, but, from bis
figures, a Philadelphia lawyer could
not tell what that something is.
The records and facts bear us out
an the assertion that the fiscal affairs
oi Bates county have heen as we'll or
better managed that any county In
this or any other state in the union.
The public improvements have kept
pace with the development of the
county. The streamsare bridged by
splendid steelstructures; public build
7ngs are in keeping with the tounty's
greatness. The county is out OF debt
with snug balance OF nearly twen,y
live thousand dollars in the treasury,
all accomplished on minimum rate
OF taxation that has in no wise been
burdensome on the tax payer.
Certainly good and substantial
reasons should be given for people
to turn a party out that has &C.
complished all this and reinstate a
party that went out under shadow.
That left a bonded debt on mum
