ly speaking, not more than one OF them
can be decided by the result OF single

the Issue OF the campaign. While a high

of course impossible until all necessity for
taxation shall have passed away; and that
period Will not arrive until government It

The necessity OF finding means for thc

Republican VS. Democratic Methods

There is no better evidence of the
way things ars done under Repub-
lican and Democratic administra-
tons than that furnished by the
sale of saloon licenses in this coun-
ty. We obtain from the records
the following significant figures.
During the year 1902 the sneriff's
office was under Democratic control.
The sales of saloons licenses that
year amounted to SO and there was
returned to the county $4,000.
The year following, 1903, the
present incum bent, a Republican,
took charge of the Office and during
that year 80 saloon licenses were
granted and receipts derived from
this smaller nun Der were $34, 500,
an increase of $1,000. The sales
were under the same conditions
and yet for this smaller number of
licenses the Republican sheriff
turns over $4,000 more of public
revenue. Here we have fair con-
trast of the business methods"
employed by the two parties in the
conduct of public county affairs.
When we recall that the 81 800
goes to the county and the various
districts for school purposes we see
how the M after reaches every fire.
side in the county. Think of the
additional facilities this one item
alone makes possible for the school
children. There is no department
OF our county government where a
cum parison is not equally advap-
tageous to the Republicans and
yet the Democrats are deploring
