The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1907-07-04

was seen by number OF gentlemen
In Salmon, who will make an oath as
to the truth as above stated.
MIR. Abbott foolishly makes the
statement that Senator Dubois said
10 his Salmon speech that he was re-
sponsible for this reserve. Mr.. ABB
bott knows this to be an unmitigated
and malicious falseh00d. We dare
him or any other man who attended
Senator Dubois speech last October
TO show where he referred TO the
establishment OF the forest reserve
In any particular. In the closing
days OF his senatorial career Senator
Dubois made speech In congress In
which he criticised the administra-
tion, not for their forest reserve pol
i icy, but for the abuses permitted
We have seen letters and correspond
ence wherein Senator Dubois has
made every effort to give the people
OF Lemhi county relief from this
damnable policy.
/
Kirtley as responsible for Pinchot
not coming to Salmon as he agreed
to. We have heard that this Is true,
but have nc other authority than
that on which Mi. Abbott bases his
conclusions. We would not be sur
pIised, however, II the statemen,
was true. Mr.. kirtley Is but small
/ portion OF the democratic party Of
Lemhi county. Ii he has done any
thing OF this kind no Is responsible
as an individual and not the demo
cratic pasty collectively. Mr.. Kirt
los has shown all along that he ha,
been In favor OF the forest reserve
, and Ia that respect has been out o.
, harmony with the policy of his part,
aud party associates.
n We would like TO assure Mr.. Alb
bott, to relieve his distressed mind
, that we are not Mr., Kiftley's keeper
Ii we were we would have seen tina
, he did not vote against the forest re
serve resolution introduced In tn,
; legislature, and passed, condemninI
the forest reserve policy Of the I'D
|, ministration. II we were his keepe
: he would not have written to Pin
!. chot not To come here, as Mr.. Abbot
\ charges that be did.
There was petition circulated Il
/. this town few days ago asking Mr.
4 pinchot to come to Salmon and looI
. the situation over, Mr.. Abbot
n signed this petition, but did no
a have the manhood to sign IL as edito
!. Of his paper, but signed IL AS Print
