State Examiner of Public Accounts J. T. German today filed with Governor Cunningham his report on the accounts of the officials of Henry county The ac- tendent of education, J. E. Holmes, sheriff and J. B. Ward, circuit clerk were found to be correct. Probate Judge Dan Gordon failed to remit $35 to the state treasury on licenses.

 The examiner found Tax Assessor J. F. Searcy correct in his accounts. MT. Searcy has been in office only about one year. Mir Searcy says that the property heretofore has been assessed in Henry county at about 40 per cent of it's actual value, but says that the assessment for 1904 will show decided increase in valuation.

OH. Mr.. LlNDsAN

In his very first speech in the cam
paign, at Lewistown, September 20,
Mr.. William Lindsay made an mex
cusable error. He was explaining
why he voted against the initiative
and referendum bill in the fifth legis-
lature, in 1897, and said:
''The Helena Independent, which
today is accusing me of being insin-
cere because / voted against that
bill, opposed it with all the determi-
nation it could oppose any measure
fought it until it secured it's defeat -
Mr.. Lindsay is not a man who
would Intentionally make misstate-
ment of facts. But these are facts:
The Helena Independent did not OPP
pose the initiative and referendum Or

the initiative and referendum bill at
any time during 1896 or 1897. On the
contrary, it supported the measure
and the bill most heartily. 1t pub
lished series of editorials in support
of the initiative and referendum in
January, 1897, had them reprinted in
pamphlet form, and had a copy of the
pamphlet laid on the desk of every
member of the legislature.
Tt was the Republican Helena Her

the initiative and referendum. The

DAVID G. BROWNE.

The democratic state ticket from
Gov. Toole down to Supt. Kay is one
of which every democrat has reason
to feel proud. There is not a name
upon it which loyal democrat feels
like passing over as quickly as pos
sible. Every one of the nominees
are good men. Under these circum-
stances we expect that the state
ticket will run pretty evenly and
mostly be voted straight, as far as
democrats are concerned. Certainly
that will be the case with David G.
Browne, the candidate for state
treasurer. 1t would be a very queer
kind of democrat indeed who would
fail to put an X mark in front of his
name on election day, 1t Is there
fore more in the hope that some
republican may read and ponder on
these words than any other reason
that causes us to say that Mr.. David
&. Browne is an ideal man for the
important Office of state treasurer.
Possessed of executive ability of
high order and an energy that never
flags or knows an obstacle till it is
surmnunted Mr.. Browne has done his
part as a pioneer of this great state.
When duty called, Dave Browne was
never deaf. None there are that ever
heard more acutely or answered more
promptly or nobly to the call. The
strong qualities Of man which were
his birth right, mellowed and ripened
by experience in the world would
make him an ideal candidate for any
post of responsibility. When to these
qualities is added an unbending
integrity which makes his word as
good as his bond-and either will pass
current as readily as coined gold with
all who know the man-then we
think we have described an ideal can
didate for state treasurer, and we

Herald was then edited by Col. A. G.
Botkin, for whom Tom Carter soon
afterwards got good job at Wash
ington.
Mr.. Lindsay practically admits that
he sat through that session of the
legislature and did not know the diff
ference between republican evening
paper and democratic morning pa
per. He practically says that he vot-
ed against the bill because he thought
democratic paper was fighting the
bill! Now, isn't that pretty excuse?

DEMOCRATS AND IRRIGATION.


The bill introduced in congress by |
Mr.. Newlands Of Nevada, January rs,
1901, was the fl rst measure that en-
bodied practicable plan OF making
the arid lands reclaim themselves
and pay for their own reclamation.
Mr.. Newland's plan was finally
adopted by congress as the practical
solution of the problem, in spite OF
the active opposition of the Republi-
can leaders
President Roosevelt signed the irri-
CATION bill, but it was Democratic
Newland's bill. While the bill was
under discussion it was opposed by
almost every Republican leader in the
house. Among those who fought it
were Mr.. Moody, now attorney
general; Mr.. Cannon, now speaker OF
the house; Mr.. Payne, the Republican
leader on the floor; Mr.. Dalzell, chair
man Of the committee on rules; Mr..
Ray, chair man of the committee on
Judiciary; Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa, and
General Grosvenor, President Roose-
velt's personal representative in the
house.
Now let us see what some of the
Republican leaders said of this bill.
Mr.. Hepburn said:
'sIf were not one of the most
humble and polite men in this house
I would take the liberty of saying
that the proposition involved in this
| bill is one of the most Insolent
attempts at larcency have ever seen
embodied in q legislative proposition. .
Mr.. Moody, the present attorney
general, said:
II look with grave apprehension
| upon the plan to reclaim the arid
| lands of the vest
General Grosyenor spoke of the bill
as proposing "a great national wrong. +"
| After this record of Republican oppo-
sition to the measure that is now the
law, the Republicans claim all credit
for irrigation legislation for them
selves, and say that irrigation work
would be stopped if Parker is elected.
But Parker is committed by his
platform and by his letter of accept
ance to policy of developing
America, of building up our own
country instead Of wasting money to
hold a so cent market in the far-off
islands of the Pacific.
Parker knows that one American
family is worth more as a market
than 100 Filipino families.
