board of commissioners. The op
portunity is now presented to the
electors to secure such a board for
Idaho county in the persons oil
Robert Griffith, Jacob Matthieson
aud Henry G. Oliver, the
democratic nominees. Mr.. Griffith
has served the people before in
this capacity and his past record
for business-like administration
efficiency and economy is beyond
reproach. Jacob Matthieson is
president of the First National
bank of Cottonwood, position
which pleases his business ability
and commercial standing above
cavll. Mr.. Oliver is proprietor
of large mercantile establishment
at Sites, which he has built up by
square dealing and thoroughly
bnsiness-like methods. The three
democratic candidates are all broad
enough and big enough to eliminate
all sectional lines and do what is
best for the greater number. Men
of such caliber are few and far be-
tween, and for this reason the
democratic ticket is particularly
strong in finding. three such SUBJ
stantial citizens who will accept
such thankless Office and do their
duty as the law requires without
fear or favor. The gentlemen
will be worthy successors of the
retiring board and will make it's
representation ideal.

for representive on the democratic
ticket, has lived in the state twelve
years. He owns a ranch near this
city and has seldom dabbled in
politics. He is a man who aims to
do right and is known for his
straight. forward way of going
through life. What he says he will
do and does not hesitate to express
his opinion on matters of local
interests. Powell will not sit back

Hepburn Called

| To the Free Press:-The reck
less statement of Senator Heyburr
at the Armory last week that there
is not upon the statute books a
''single law passed by the demo.
Gratis" calls for comment.
From the second election oil
Grant to the Presidency in 1872
down to 1890 with only two excep.
tions, the democrats controlled the
house of representatives, and there
by controlled all legislation
through their control of the
national treasury
Thus the "Alien Contract
Labor Law" prohibiting the i'm.
portation of the pauper labor Of
Europe under contract. was forced
by democratic house upon a
hostile republican senate and
republican president. The
"Chinese Exclusion Law" was
similarly enacted by democratic
house and thrust upon repub-
lican senate which passed it with
the understanding that the re-
publican president, Arthur.
would veto it over the presidential
veto.
The Sherman Antitrust Act"
is also of democratic origin, being
written by the late Senator Vest Of
Missouri, and it's passage insisted
upon by democratic house which
threatened to withhold the annual
appropriations unless the republi-
can senate gave the people this re-
lief.
Here are three concrete illustra-
lions OF Senator Heyburn's mis-
statements. And there are others.
During this long period of demo-
cratic control of the house of rep.
resentatives the appropriations for
the government were kept within
bonds and the national treasury
always showed such large SURPRISES
that the tariff duties were re-
peatedly lowered in order to avoid
surplus and allow the peoples
money to fructify in the pockets
OF the people. Tariff revision was
not then the partisan and crafty
ing proposition it has since grown
to be. In the same period of
democratic supremacy in the
house was enacted the Bland |
Allison" bill for the coinage of
four million of silver dollars
month, to give the country re-
lief from a failing supply of gold |
and silver from the mines of the
world. And while this is not
now the law, it is another in
stance of democratic legislation
which was of incalculable benefit
to the country during it's life.
All the pension legislation en-
acted during democratic control of
the house is of democratic origin
And what of the Louisiana pnr.
chase under the administration
Of Jefferson? and the acquisition
81 all the territory acquired in the
Mexican war?
But the democratic records are
Incomplete without statement of
proposed republican legislation
which the democracy has blocked.
What of the infamous "Force
Billy' What of the Ship
subsidy steals which it has stop.
BED? What of the repeated re- /
attempts TO destroy the
'reenbacks and other proposed re. :
publican financial legislation
which the democracy has pre-
'ented? What of the condition
i our country today after twelve
ears OF absolute aud complete
epublican domination of the house,
he senate, the presidency and the +.
onrts? ~
