Democrat, must be held responsible
for such falling in this line as has
been charged TO the commissioners,
who are more to blame for not
spending money than for any distri-
button of funds they have made. The
recorder has check on the expendi-
lures of the commissioners and I'M
less he gives his endorsement to
bills, collection cannot be made. One
result has been the thwarting of JUS
tice in the county and invitation
thereby to criminals to come In here

pursuit beyond the immediate vicinr
ity, for the reason that bills present.

suit of law breakers have been turn

As said above. the fault with the
present board of commissioners. If
fault there Is. has been in failure to
spend more money than il has. With
$4,000 in the treasury there Is no
excuse for the lack of good roads in
every part of the county nor for the
lack of many other Improvements.

ton.
1t was well attended and har-
monious convention representing the
leading Republicans of the county,
who used their best Judgment in the
selection of candidates. As whole
the ticket is one of the best ever SCI
lected by any barty in the history OF
the county. Ii is clean ticket from
ton to bottom. and is made up OF
men we'll qualified for the position
for which they ask the SURFACES OF
the people. II is a ticket of which
every Republican may well feel
proud. and to which he can give his
UNQUALIFIED support. from now until
the eve of election day.
The ticket represents the business,
professional and labor interests OF
the county in almost equal division.
The union labor interests were given
all they asked for, and in fact every
part of the county and every interest
is well represented upon the ticket,
by men who are credit to the party
and to the county
II is ticket npon which all loyal
Republicans can unite in one har7
monious whole. and the candidates
stand upon a splendid platform which
means much To every taxpayer OF the
county.
The convention has done exceed
ingly we'll. and il now rests with the
Republicans of White Pine county to
see that the work of the convention
is endorsed by the election of the
candidates named. and 10 this end
every Republican should get into the
harness and work with untiring zeal.

One of the few paragraphs in the
Democratic county platform not ia

form. reads as follows:

of county commissioners for its eX-
travagant and incompetent admins
tration OF the affairs of the county,
and cite it as a fair example of Re-
publican rule everywhere.
We find on looking over the rec
ords that the expenditures of the
board in its first year aggregated
about $4,000 and that its expendi-
lures for the present year viii reach
about the same figure. Also that
the expenditures of the board which
preceded it reached $4,000 in its
last year. and that each year since
1903 there has been Increase in The
expenditures of the board Of COM
missioners In 1905 we find ez-

cratic board and in 1906 expenditure
by the same board of $4,000. an in

pared with increase of $4,000 by fhe

into the matter and declared that

missioners and not a few attorneys

money from the government. That
authority was all Reeves wanted. He
got busy, and kept busy for more
