The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1908-10-31

Too late the Caldwell News is plead
ing to call off the dogs" Should it
be allowed to make slurring state
ments of this nature without retalia-
ton? What do fair and clean minded
Democrats say to this?
All the voters of this county should
have been present and listened to Mr..
Breshears when he was approached
and asked why he did not come
through" and spend his money in a
certain saloon in Caldwell, to equalize
or overcome likework being done by
the Democrats. He plainly stated at
that time within the hearing of all,
IF that is one of the conditions of my
being elected sheriff of Canyon coun-
to be electe dto tab toffice on my
record as a man and not as a saloon
spender."
Quite a furry was caused in Demo-
cratic circles the first of the week by
certain Democrats of Nampa, hiding
themselves behind the cloak of the
| church, organizing and in the name of
| the church, directing their followers
| to vote for the county Democratic
ticket. This scheme, it has been
learned, was Matched among the Dem
ocrats of Caldwell, and was put in
the hands of a Democratic minister
at Nampa. At the meeting held in
Nampa, there were present eleven
Democrats and one Republican. The
Republican dissented strongly, but, of
course, his action was useless.
The residents of Nampa, regardless
of politics, rose enmasse at this &C
ton and had not those implicated in
the deal swiftly retracted their action,
scathing denunciation would have
been made of them. The church peo-
pie, almost in toto, have denounced
these people, holding rightfully that
the sacredness of the church should
not be mixed with the slime of dirty
politics.
How man or a woman with a
clean, sane mind, whether Democrat
or Republican, can do otherwise thar
, support the entire Republican ticket
, is more than anyone, outside a schoo
| for the feeble minded or insane asy.
