are not uudcqudiHteu VIII the OutleS
OF the oiiice for which they are nov
candidates. They have both been
membres OF the board OF village trus-
tees. The latter undoubtedly put
ting in more years in this capacity
than any other citizen OF Salmon. MIR.
Peterson has always been willing to
devote his time to looking after the
interests OF the city while on the
board, and he should be elected by
the largest majority of any man on
the ticket. He generally has the
time to attend TO these matters, and
freely gives of it. No citizen or bus
iness man stands higher for true
| worth and character than George w.
kingsbury. He has made success
OF his own business, ana would no
doutt willingly devote share of his
attention and experience towards
building up the city.
The element which seems to wish
to control the affairs Of the city for
the next two years know from. past
experience that William Peterson is
not man who will not answer their
purpose and are making every effort,
both honorable and dishonorable to
defeat him. Mr.. Peterson has been
a member OF the board for several
terms, and is conceded by those who
will not vote for hin. for personal
reasons that he took more interest in
the welfare of the city and devoted
more of his time to the interests OF
the city than any man who has ever
sat on the board. The question the
voters should ask themselves before
they lend. them selves to the effort to
defeat Mr.. Peterson is, whom will
bis defeat the most benefit? VIII 1t
be certain individuals or the people
as whole?
Two or three healers are using the
argument that Mr.. Peterson is oppos-
ed to the building Of the sewer, and
if he is elected he will work against
its completion. The ones using this
argument know very we'll that he or
no one else can have the power nor
usurp the power were they even SO
disposed. But then, these politicians
realize that a falsehood well stood by
will have the same effect with the
over-credulous as the truth. When
the writer heard these reports he
went to the fountain bead for The
truth.
In an interview Mr.. Peterson stat
ed that he was not against the build
ing OF the sewer nor had he ever
been so. lie was opposed and is yet
to the city issuing bonds for this
purpose. He plainly stated that so
far as building his part OF the sewer
he was ready to buy the pipe, and
complete the work now or at any
| time the other work was constructed.
What he did object to was being
forced to pay interest on the money
invested in this project when he had
the money to pay the cash as soon as
the work was constructed.
lie has been ready to do this part
of his duty as citizen, and If the
ones who are starting these reports
question this statement he will de-
posit the necessary money in Langs-
DORIS bank subject to the payment
when the work Is completed. This
statement coming from man OF
William Peterson's well known ver-
acity should be sufficient TO counter
act any misleading statements made
by those who Tor personal reasons so
earnestly desire TO see him defeated
above every other man on the Citi-
zcns Ticket.
1t should be remembered that there
are always certain interests in mu-
nicipality which desire subseryient
tools. and it is well known that Will
liam Peterson is not a man OF this
stripe. He is a man who will do his
duty as he sees it, regardless OF the
opinion of others, and those are the
kind Of men we need on the board Of
village trustees. Every other man
en- the ticket with Mr.. Peterson Is
a wide-a-sake and progressive man /,
/ interested I'm the future prosperity Of
| Salmon, and their election means a
greater Salmon, and greater munich
| pal Improvements, coubatible with
the least possible outlay to the resi-
dents. In the election OF village
trustees these are questions which
should be considered In ali their
bearings on tie future prosperity Of
1 the city.
II is hard TO comprehend why a
certain few are making such siren
uous fight against William Peterson.
1t Is hard To comprehend shy the
mud batteries should be directed cs-
peciaIly against bin, more than any
other member of the Citizens Ticket
IL the campaign of the opposition
is TO be believed, Mr.. Peterson is ep-
posed to the building of the sewer.
