AN OPEN LETTER
Glasgow. Montana. Oct. %, 1908.

Glasgow. Montana, Oct. %, 1908.
AS it will be impossible for me
to see personally all of the voters of
Valley county, a brief and straight
forward statement of my position and
a pledge of my action, if elected treas
urer of Valley county, | believe will
be of great service in assisting the
voter to form conclusion as to
whether am entitled to his support.
First. The report of the present
treasurer of Valley county showed
that he had on hand December l, 1907,
amounts as follows: General fund
S13,97S. go bridge fund So ,222 SO, road
fund S7,555.34, an aggregate of 1924,
f57 Is. Drawn on each of these funds
were interest bearing warrants in
excess of the amounts to the credit of
the respective funds, No call of
warrants has been made since Deem
Der, 1907, although the official records
(Which are open to the inspection of
any taXpayer) show that over $4,000
was available at the close of that
month to pay uncalled outstanding
interest bearing warrants. the
county has been paying six, per cent
interest on these warrants which
could and should have been paid ten
months ago. This neglect has already
cost the county over 81 100000.
| hereby pledge myself, if elected,
to make call of warrants each month
if there should be money enough in
any fund to pay 10000 in warrants.
This l believe will save the taxpayers
thousands of dollars each year.
Second. | believe that the funds of
the county should draw interest and
that the interest should be turned into
the county treasurer in accordance
with the platform adopted at the re-
publican county convention. / hereby
pledge myself, unless existing laws
are changed, to deposit the funds of
the county so as to enable the county
to get the largest amount of interest
on its money. If elected will deposit
the funds Of the county in thevarious
banks of the county on as fair and
equitable basis as possible. Pledgine
myself absolutely and specifically to
treat all Of the banks of the county
on an absolutely fair basis.
Third. AS | believe it to be the
duty of the county treasurer to advise
the board of county commissions il
regard to surplus funds that arr
available for transfer to funds having
interest bearing warrants, l hereb,
pledge myself, if elected, to inform

ANOTHER LIE NAILED
To The Voters of Valley County,

To The Voters of Valley County,
Gentlemen:
Last week our friends, the
enemy. saw fit to publish through the
columns of the Review, an article re-
tlecting on your humble servant in
connection with the shortage of En-
treasurer w Oxford. and were it not
for the fact that there are a number
of voters in this county who are not
personally acquainted with me, |
would not attempt to refute the state
ment. as I am willing to stand on my
record with those who know me well,
that they we'll refute any smch scan
DIAL.
Twas eNhonorated of all blame both
hv the State Examiner and the two
Public Accountants, Geo. Raben and
Lawrence Mcdonald, of Great Falls,
Montana. who checked both my and
Woffords books for the twenty four
months during which he was in office
and did not change a figure on my
books. which are subject to the IN
spection of any one who cares to look
at them.
AS to deputies, this office consists
of the offices of Register of Deeds,
Auditor and County Clerk in one, and
| have used my best judgement in the
extra deputies used, only having them
when the business of the County de-
manded it, without reference to the
Abstract business referred to, and
which is not permitted to interfere
with my duties as Clerk and Recorder,
as feel that my first duty is to the
tax payers of this county.
If the statement published in the
Review is true. would indeed exhibit
a braZen indifference to decency If |
asked for the support of any voter in
Valley County, but l feel that my
record will bear honest inspection
and while hold my opponent in the
highest regard feel that am entitled
to a square deal and the support OF
those who believe the statements
made herein.
Yours very truly,
W. b. Shoemaker,
Republican Candidate for Clerk
and Recorder.

well, Uncle Sam" the scribe began.
I'm this election, who's your man?
There's Bryan. who has kept the pace
These many years; and in this race,
If he is ever going to win,
'Twould seem you ought to let him in
Then Uncle Sam, he crossed his leg,
Shrugged his shoulders just peg,
And passed his hand up thru his hair:
you're sympathetic, declare!
But tell me, boy, perhaps you can.
What should count in the winning man
THE fact he's run three times, or four,
Looks well, talks much, and then some more
Trains with all parties, claims all rights,
Because of his two former fights
Should these things COUNT" And then he
laughed,
The man the country needs is Taft
But Uncle, wouldn't Bryan dor
The old man grinned: ut might be true,
He'd do us all! Now, see here lad,
I'm glad We called, I'm really glad.
The country getting sick of graft,
And that's one reason want Taft
Besides" said he, Il want man,
Who's not a rapid partisan
Who sees great things for this fair land
With will to make it far more grand
And he can do it or I'm daft;
Yes, I've tried him. and | say-Taft."
But Uncle Bryan wants q show
Yes. others do said he; Il know
Large numbers unemployed, and who
Need some strong hand to pull EN- thru
Some strategic, far reaching plan;
And Taft can d. t,iTaft's the man.
Make no mistake, my boy, said he.
The country is the thing, you see
It's what we need, not Simply one,
And Judge Taft by what he's done,
With power to do far more, | say;
I'm really glad you called. Good day.
