Election today.

Two years ago there were $50
votes polled in Custer county.
Stockslagers majority in Gus
ter county We estimate at 200, if
1, 100 votes are polled-
Democrats cast aside all minor
differences you may have against
any candidate on the Democratic
ticket, and vote a straight ticket
if you expect the party to win
Democrats do not allow any
one to talk you into scratching
your ticket This is what de-
feated the ticket two years ago
This is not politics. Whenever
you vote for a Republican you
are voting for a person who is In
duty bound to vote for Gooding.
The campaign is over, and the
candidates today viii either be
elected or defeated. Half must
meet defeat whether they like it
or not, for the people have spok-
en- For popttIi, Uor Def"-The
voice of the people is the voice
of God We imagine there viii
be some surprises when the tic
kets are counted.
Hon W. E Borah spoke at
Salmon on Oct 29th- He was
billed TO speak in ChaIlis on the
Both, but for some unknown rea-
son did not come. Our people
were sadly disappointed. for Mr.
Borah has the reputation of be-
ing fluent speaker But the
worse disappointment of all was
when the republicans substitut-
ed Hutto, or Hoot-Owl, to ans
wer Senator Dubois Hutto IS
one of those two-bit politicians
whom the State Committee could
use nowhere else. so they sent
him here till the campaign was
over TO speak at the wayside
postofices. He attempted to
answer Senator Dubois, but
made such a poor stagger at II
that even the republicans were
ashamed of him. He has only
been in the State seven months
Just long enough to vote and
does not know anything about
State issues, so he tried to inject
petty county affairs, by telling
| the people that Hon N H Clark
) was not a taxpayer in Custer
county. In this HOOt-Owl"
told lie. for the records of this
: county shows that MIR. Clark
: pays taxes on $50 acre ranch
on Big Lost river, town lots IN
: Mackay. besides other property
) So Hutto lied. AS to Custer
s county issues our people are Just
t as intelligent voters on these is
! sues, and all other issues, as any
i county in the world, and do not
' require anyone of the Hutto kind
o to camp with Us for two weeks
s to tell US how to vote. He has
II no interest in the county, and
5 is probably here for s. talk
n for he is costly at half that
Ii price. The people viii not be
e deceived by this petty politician
r Why didn't he speak of Robert
A. Lansdon, the Republican nom
inee for Secretary of State, who
st has been bound over to the Dis

live issue, and Hutto knew of 1t

NAVY TOO MUCH

At the very near end Of the session.
Representative Lafean introduced a res
olution in the House today providing for
an investigation of the Navy Department
by the House Committee on Naval At
fairs.
Mr. Lafean's reason for introducing
the resolution is that he IS convinced
that the Navy Department has been
needlessly extravagant, and has wasted
$500, 400 Of the Governments money in
purchasing shoes for the enlisted men
of the navy.
AccoruIlg 70 Mr.: Lafean, the depart
ment advertised last month for bids
for furnishing $1,000 pairs of shoes. on
June the department awarded tine
contract TO Joseph Herman & Sons. of

would have been the cost If the con-
tract had been awarded 10 the lowest
