planned we'll for the meeting and will
conduct the battle with superlative
skill there is no doubt.
But there is an element in this game
that must not be lost sight Of
and that is the disposition of the people
to act on their own Judgment In decld'
ing upon what are the issues and how
to vote upon them. In many parts oil
the country it is becoming so that the
people and not the politicians make the
issues. Upon the extent that this ele-
ment enters into the elections in Novem-
Der and the manner of its entering
depends much.
The result of the conflict will be
awaited with great interest. 1t might
be that the disclosures Of tne campaign
will make it possible TO fortell it before
the end Of another month, but it is
more likely that it will remain hidden
until the returns begin coming in after
the election day.

matter personal by declaring
that Assessor Flint was the
choice OF the majority faction in
the last republican convention
and that he assessed the News
high because it favored county
division. The News man is in
error. Mr.. Flint was not the
choice of the majority faction.
In the last republican conven-

nomination for assessor was

placed Mr.. Flint in nomination
and, although a majority had
promised to support Mr.. Adams

The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1906-01-05

The TRIBUNE has never stated
and never will state that any
man should be "tarred and
feathered" because he favors
county division or issues special
editions. Our assertion was that
Editor Filson of Standpoint de-
served that sort of treatment
because he charged the supreme
court OF this state with corrup-
ton in the county division case.
We have asked Mr.. Filson to ex-
plain his charge and he evades
the question. Why this evasion?
Let him justify his accusations
or withdraw them. Distortion
and misrepresentation OF the
TRlBUNE's article is no answer.
