is better punctuated. and it Is able to
NAUTICAL. Of course, Mr.. Bailey takes
a hand occasionally, but anyone with
half an eye can tell Just how much
of his paper is an expression of him
self, and just how much is poured
into it from the outside. That makes
it more trustworthy in a way. You
know then what Mr.. Bailey writes,
and what his friends write for him
without signing their names. OF
course, there is one difficulty. While
you know what Mr.. Bailey writes,
you are at loss to know which one
of his particular friends is dipping
in. In Mr.. Badley's latest effusion
ticulates frantically, and has SER
ious time with himself generally,
which antics must be the source of
no little merriment to his readers.
In the same article he claims that he
knows The Goat and will produce
affidavits as to his identity and the
all round baseness of his character.
Before the ink Is cold in that asser-
ton he states that the Goat Is cow
ardly sneak who will not show him
self-a dark-lantern assassin. Well,
then, why don't Mr.. Bailey expose
the vile wretch. and the general vile
ness of the Goats character In all its
utter horribleness before the readers
of the News. l would like to get
glimpse of the beast myself. Elk.
pose the Goat, MFR. Bailey! But,
Mr.. Bailey, 1t really doesn't make
any difference now, does it, who the
Goat is? 1t may be Jim Brown or
Tom Jones, or the shadow of Ban
quo. No one is interested in the
Goat and wouldn't care whiffet who
he is, or what he is. What they are
interested in Is the character of Mr..
Bailey. Mr.. Bailey is an issue be-
fore the people. The Goat isn't. The
Goat said Mr.. Bailey was incompe-
tent, and cites the slovenly character
of writings in the Caldwell News as
evidence. 1t says that Mr.. Bailey
traded his support to the Democratic
ticket for the nomination of county
clerk, and it cites the Caldwell News
as evidence. Before Mr.. Bailey sold
out to the Democrats he was of just
that shade of political belief that the
man he was talking to claimed to be.
To a Democrat, he was Democrat;
to Republican, he was Republi-
can; to a Prohibitionist, he was
Prohibitionist: to Socialist, he was
Socialist; to an Independent, he
was an Independent. Mr.. Bailey has
very convenient political principles.
He is now a Democrat for the county
clerks office, as he would have been
Republican had he been nominated
Mr.. Bailey had no principles. And
all of Mr.. Badley's friends know that
what the Goat says is true.
When Mr.. Bailey canvasses the
county he slyly works in certain
stories against his opponent. Mr..
Tucker. or course, that is not toss
ing mud! Perhaps Mr.. Bailey does
not know what mud is! Why doesn't
he set forth in the News these stories
about Mr.. Tucker that he Is indus
triously peddling about the county?
Those in the Payette valley, for in
stance. If they are true, the people
want to know 1t. II they are not
true, Mr. Tucker should be afforded
an opportunity to deny them. OF
course, nobody could cali that mud
singing"
have given Mr.. Bailey more at
tention than he Is entitled to for he
has a paper used exclusively for the
promotion Of his interests. Now,
will discuss Mr.. Hawks. II is re-
ported that Mr.. Hawks sought the
nomination OF county clerk at the
hands of the Republicans. and. fall
ing In that, he went over to the Dem
ocrats. II this is true. II Is certainly
not evidence of either good princi-
Piles or good morals. That Ia all we
have heard against Mr.. Hawks. and
we haven't heard that much against
Mr.. Hagelin. Besides. as Is stated by
"Vox Populi" what We need In the
Probate Judges Office is law and
while the gospel may help. 1t Is not
essential. think that Mr.. Hagelin
has enough of the latter to do the
case justice.
The Democrats say themselves that
Miss Beatty does not possess the
required by the law for
county school superintendent.
Mr.. Maughn, the Democratic can
didate for county attorney. has not
been admitted to practice IN the Su-
