GEMMILL IS POPULAR.

During all the campaign we have
heard but one voter say discreditable
thing about Jim Gemmill, the republi-
can nominee for assessor. On the other
hand hundreds of citizens, many OF
them democrats, have praised Mr.
Gemmil and are working for his cleo
ton. He has had practical experience
in assessing this county and no man is
better qualified for the position. And
then Jim Gemmill is honest. He is a
practical farmer and il elected will
give good account Of himself. Do
you think him worthy your vote or do
you propose to help elect disgruntled
republican who, because he was not
nominated by the republicans, got sore
and joined the mugwamps7 If this is
your desire then vote for John Lauter-
bach, the Kendrick merchant, who
claims he is qualified to assess a farm
because at one time he bought few
hogs. And besides this qualification
Mr.. Lauterbach has been resident Of
Latah county just little more than a
year while Jim Gemmill is one of the
Oldest pioneers. Now, citizens, be-
tween the two men which ought you tc
support And, too, Mr.. Gemmill
is not an Office seeker. He did moi
even ask for the nomination. The
convention named him by reclamation
and John Lauterbach, who was dele
gate in that convention, voted for Mr..
Gemmill.

In the first place Auditor Ramstedt
never did invest one penny in a tax
title in his life. His opponents do not
charge that he has. Second, no deputy
in the auditors office is accused Of
buying even one tax title but the rec
ords show that one c. Cate, mother
in-law of Deputy Auditor Walker. has
purchased several tax titles, as has
John Thompson, the Independent
nominee for auditor. And it is hard

Ii has been two years since Fed
Dubois said he knew OF about hun
dred mormorns in Idaho, who were
practicing polygamy and that he had
evidence. And it has been two years
since both Mr.. Borah and Senator Hey
burn offered to find the law and the
court in which to punish these criminals
if Mr.. Dubois would swear to the com
plain or make affidavit charging even
one with the crime of polygamy. Now,
why has not Mr.. Dubois been fair
and honorable in the matter and if
either Mr.. Borah or Mr.. Hepburn
failed to make good the people would
know then whether or not there is a
law in the state against the
crimes charged against the Mormons.
As a good citizen it is the duty Of
Mr.. Dubois to file the complaint. Why
has he not done his duty? If Mr..
Borah is fooling the people let

VIM. Morgan is going over the
county making light Of the official re-
port OF Expert E. /. Ligget who ex-
amined the books Of every official in
the court house, giving Auditor Ram
stedt a fattering recommendation. Mr..
Morgan insinuates that the official
record of Mr.. Ramstedt is rotten and
would have the taxpayers believe that
Ramstedt is a thief and Mr.. Ligget,
who is one of the most reliable account
ants on the Pacific coast, is liar.
Mr.. Ligget actually went over the
books and Dol S knows what he is
talking about; Mr.. Morgan did not and
could not expert the county records
and DOES NOT know what
he is talking about. When the oppo-
sition are forced to attack official re-
ports of experts, and then with nothing
but a simple denial, it must be that
Mr.. Morgan and his friends are little
short on facts.
