other shortage of SIP 900 of the funds of the

The warrant was sworn out at the in
stance Of the public examiner, and the at
torney general, who brought the matter of

and repeated by Smith were published

conceived by others was repeated by
him; the villainy of Others excused and
extolled. And like the others he lied.
Living at the very door of the court
house and with access to every record
of the county he purposely misrepre-
sented facts and gave light to untruths.
And that he lied he dare not now
deny. And like the others he does
not possess sufficient honor and man
hood to rectify his wrong. Instead Of
that he will probably defend himself by
calling the man who exported the
county records liar and charge him
with having been bribed. But let him
remember one fact: 1t is up to him to
back up assertions with proof and
charges of dishonesty and graft with
indisDutsble evidence.

The News does not like to indulge
in personalities, but in view of all that
was done and said by the reformers"

it is our plain duty, and the duty OF
every good citizen, to now undo, so
far as possible, the dirty, disreputable
and untruthful work of those men VINO

lying about public. officials and their
public acts. 1t is our plain duty to
tear off their mask of deceit and
hypocrisy and sham, leaving exposed
to public gaze the naked truth that
ought to condemn them to everlasting
shame in the sight of honest and self

more of their honor and manhood than

THERE WERE OTHERS.

And there were others besides MI.
Towne who, during the late county
election, told lies. There was Windy
Dolittle Smith, the wise old guy hom
Windybaggo, Minnesota, who began
running for Office the same day he
landed in Latah county, and who has
not even at this time given up the idea
that he was born to rule. And with
him was his side partner, Mr.. Frank
Johnson, who, with Windy Dolittle,
spent their time-together with the
reform campaign funds-circulating IN
truths over the county and laying plans
that would put to shame the heather
Chinese. For lack of ability Mr.. John
son stayed in Moscow and held his
peace, but Smith did more. He toured
the county and spent his time circu-
lating statements that, in the face of
facts, show him to be as contemplate
as M. Towne and no more truthful.
He, too, called Mr.. Liggett liar and
Mr.. Ramstedt a thief. He, too,
charged the republican party with dis
honesty and said that if they were VIC
torious that party would never submit
TO an examination of the public records.
He, too, deliberately and maliciously
lied, and he, too, has not the manhood
nor the decency to now come forward

HE LIED.

When A. B. Towne. that smooth,
dudish life insurance agent Of Moscow,
went about Latah County last fall tell
ing the voters that they were being
robbed by republican county officials.
what did he do if he did not lie?
When he said that Auditor Ramstedt
was stealing funds, when he told tax
payers of this county that Mr.. Ram
stedt was robbing them, what was he
if not liar? When confronted with
the demand for proof, when evidence
was insisted upon proving his base,
dirty, cowardly, libelous, insinuating
accusations and assertions, Mr.. Towne,
prior to the election, stood before an
audience in the Berry school house
and justified his charges of dishonesty
by relating story, telling the people
that while he could not cite the page
showing dishonesty it was there Just
the same and that only an ex-
pert could find it. Mr.. Towne went
farther. He charged the entire re-
publican party with dishonesty. He
said we dare not have the county
records exported, and if successful at
the polls, would not. The republicans
were successful. An expert was en-
ployed and what is the verdict How
much has Auditor Ramstedt stolen?
Not one cent. Not only were his ac-
counts straight, but the expert, man
whose report cannot be questioned,
says the books OF Auditor Ramstedt are
models OF neatness and system. He
even goes farther and says he never
saw better set of books.
1t will be remembered that State
Bank Examiner Liggett went over
these books prior to the election and
said the same thing. And it will be
recalled that Mr.. Towne pronounced
the Ligget report false and misleading.
Mr.. Towne said the Bsnk Examiner
was a liar. He said Mr.. Ramstedt
bribed him. That he could not have
examined the county records and have
known anything in the short time he
was in Moscow. Now, did Mr.. Ligget
lie? Did he know what he was talk
ing about? Or did the Moscow dude
mistake facts? Blu, one conclusion
can be drawn. Mr.. Towne told what
he knew was false. He went farther
and not only lied about Auditor Ram
stedt, but slandered another official,
Mr.. Ligget. Nor is this all. Mr..
Towne is guilty of more. Had he
only lied we might excuse him on the
ground that his wife was candidate, or
because OF a confirmed habit he has
been years in acquiring. But what ex
cuse can he offer fol- his malicious
SANDERS? What right had he to say
that any public official was dishonest
or incompetent unless he had evil
dence? And if he had not evidence,
which he did not have, he was not
only liar, but vile slanderer. The
News now brands A. B. Towne as
guilty of both, and ask that, in view
of all he has said, he show his man
hood, if he has any, and publicly
apologize. If he has a sense Of shame,
if one atom of honor remains with him,
if he is not dead to every principle of
decency, or devoid of every moral
precept, he will say he lied. His duty
is plain, but, like the polecat, after be-
fouling the air, he will sneak away into
tail timber and be seen no more.
