Custer county is democratic if
the democrats vote their ticket.
If you want ticket composed
of representative citizens vote
the straight democratic ticket.
The whole Republican legisla-
ticket nominees live at Mackay.
Salmon river voters should re-
member this.
There are 220 names register
ed in this precinct at this time.
The total registration will prob
ably reach $50.
Wonder if the Republicans will
vote for their Secretary of State
who stands charged with the
crime of retty larceny, by the
County of Washington ?
If you want good sheriff vote
for Bob Morrison, and if you
want an assessor who knows
the property values vote for R.
II. Ewing.
j. G. Fox has a two-column
article in last Wednesdays Boise
Statesman on the Mormon ques-
tion and the purity of home.
Now, wouldn't that jar you
coming from j. G. Fox {?
If you want a live and capable
man to represent Custer county
in the Idaho Senate vote for
Senator Macbeth. And for the
lower House no one is more able
to represent Custer county than
n. H. Clark.
If you want to hear a speaker
of national note, and one who
is fully informed and knows
what he is talking about, come
out next Thursday night and

May, Oct. oath.

Mackay, Oct. Goth.
Every candidate on the repub-
lican ticket in this county is d
taxpayer and property holder.
Mackay Miner.
Since when ? We can name
four candidates on the republi-
can ticket who are not tax-pay-
ers. But all on the democratic
the records show are taxpayers.
Hon. Frank Hutto is billed to
speak for the Republicans in
Challis tomorrow night. Who
is Hutto p? No one here ever
heard of such person. He is
probably imported. The Hon.
Frank Hutto could talk in Gus
ter county till next Christmas,
yet he could not carry the coun-
" LOT OOOQlnS.
Republican candidates must be
low political business to start
campaign lies. They say that
! r. ii. Ewing democratic nominee
for Assessor, and Robt. Campbell
on the same ticket of County
Commissioner, don't want Office,
and won't qualify if elected. All
of such reports are lies. Mr..
Ewing is now at campaigning
for himself and his ticket.

a teacher in the Clayton public
school of Custer county, has
ceived the nomination for ScGoo
Superintendent of Elmo c98n

The Republicans turned down
Hanson and Stephens becat
they thought they were IA la Q
of re- bonding the county, and
when they met in county conven-
tion adopted as their only plat
form a plank that they did not
want their party members to
talk so mnch about bonding.
This a jab at Messrs. Fox, Han
son and Stephens. That party
would like to make it an issue in
Custer county. But all know it
is not an issue. They do not
ask for lower rate of taxation
in the county, which is an issue.
Had Messrs. Hanson and Steph-
ems been very anxious to bond
the county the could have done
so at any time for they constitute
l a majority of the Board
