Lilienthal's stool pigeon candidacy
can not be too strongly impressed
upon the voters who do not want to
vote for Acuff and who are being
urged to vote for Lilienthal instead.
This comprises the WHOLE
STOOL PIGEON SCHEME
He Is the stool pigeon of Durham
that he declares himself THE MAN
WHO GAVE BIRTH TO THE PRIN-
CIPLES OF ROOSEVELT.
This paffed up, swelled, pouter
pigeon-Henry l.. Lilienthal-does
not see that his overweening vanity
has disguised the business men who
might have supported him.
me and Roosevelt
Oh Lord Can there be anything
more sickening, more disgusting to
the business man of Spokane than to
have an obscure, vain, bull-headed
sidewalk contractor and braggart
pose as the father of "Roosevelt's
principles"
Is there a laboring man in the city
today who would believe for a minute
there lay under that No. Lilienthal
hat anything which could be made to
spell "R-O-O-S-E-V-E-L
If Lilienthal can attract enough
votes from the business men and
taxpayers to cut down Floyd Dag
to h.. u
view-Acuff party think they have a
show to defeat Mr.. Daggett. The
whole success of the scheme depends
upon the number of votes their stool
pigeon candidate can draw.
They do not expect to see Lilienthal
elected. II there was n show to elect
the stool pigeon the Spokesman-Re-
view would be the first to expose
the crooked deal.
Can you not see why the Spokes-
man Review will violate its signed
advertising contracts with Alex Win
ston when the latter tries to expose
Lilienthals relations with the tall
tower organs and declares 1t will not
print anything showing up Lilienthal
or Acuff?
If the plot behind the candidacy OF
Lilienthal Is exposed to those readers
the Spokesman-Review has befuddled,
they will at once declare against such
political tricksters. Their votes will
be lost to both Acuff and Lilienthal.
No reasonable, intelligent business
man or voter can fail to see the
scheme behind the boosting of Lilien-
thai by the Spokesman Review. They
must see that
VOTE FOR LILIENTHAL IS A
VOTE FOR ACUTE.
Each day the Spokesman-Revie
and the Chronicle-ths two tall tower
organs-print columns of hyperbole
accredited to Lilienthal.
The most OF that hyperbatic Acuff
stun Is written in the tall tower Of
fees and is not seen by Lilienthal
until 1t appears In the Chronicle or
Spokesman-Revie
Lilienthal merely obeys the orders
OF Acuff and Durham and Lund and
poses as he Is told to pose. If he
were elected mayor-unless he be-
trayed the Review as he
Is betraying the democratic party
which brought him into political be-
ing-HE WOULD OBEY THE OR
DERS OF THE TALL TOWER AND
THE WATER METER GANG
WHOSE MONEY Is BEING USED
TO DEFRAY HIS EXPENSES.
As an example of how the Lilien-
thai supporters are becoming dis
gusted may be quoted the position
taken by Edward e. Swanson, secre-
tary of the Farmers Grain & Supply
company.
Mr. Swanson originally signed the
Lilienthal petition.
When he found Lilienthal's candi-
dacy to be nothing but a stool pigeon
scheme to help Acuff he wrote let
ter to Lilienthal. demanding that HIS
name be taken off the petition. de-
claring his belief that Lilienthal
could not be elected and that a vote
for Lilienthal would mean vote for
Acuff.
MIR. Swanson is but one of many
who have withdrawn their support
from the Durham-Acuff stool pigeon.
Do not allow yourself or your
neighbor to be fooled by the stool
pigeon candidate. Do not vote for
Lilienthal, thinking you will be vot-
ing for an honest man,
No man is honest who has no party,
no platform, nothing but an insane
desire to rule or ruln--to be mayor
or prevent the nominee of his own
party taking that office.
This is not the time for the honest
voter to throw away his vote by vot-
ing for a stool pigeon used to cut
down Floyd Daggett's majority.
When you go to the polls tomorrow
vote for Floyd Daggett. for M. III.
Eggleston, for Robert Farley and the
