THE DEMOCRATIC
MACHINE.
1t Nominated Its Entire Ticket
and is Still Doing Business
in the Old Way.

The Jones-Harley-M COM
bination, claiming to be the Dem,
ocratic organization of the coun-
ty, succeeded in nominating every
man on the county ticket. 1t is
now evident that Ray Metsker
was in the race simply to keep
other candidates out. Ray is to
be groomed for the next election
and Sarber if elected, is to vote
in the legislature as c. w. Nets
ker dictates, as is shown by the
following letter:
Editor Democrat =

of Raymond l.. Metsker's canvas

tative. | followed him several
days and | failed to find one place
where he spoke disrespectfully of

between Raymond l.. Metsker
and myself. Yours Respct'y,

The machine nominated Ber-
netha for Judge by devising a
plan that would prevent Demo-
Gratis from uniting on any man
from Marshall county.
They forced the nomination of
Unger for prosecutor and sue
ceeded in nominating their entire
county slate. 1t is now UP to the
Democrats of Marshall county to
say whether they will vote as
they want to vote or allow the
machine of half a dozen bosses to
cast their votes for any man they
choose to name.

A Good Tonic.

just stop to think what it means
when great political party de-
feats a man who refuses to be
bribed, as Molter did.
He was certainly better prepar-
ed. after his first term, to dis
charge the duties of the Office
than before, and by every prin-
ciple of custom, usage and JUS
tice he was entitled to a second
term.
He was the most lied about
man that ever ran for Office in
this county, and it will not be six
months before the honest Demo-
Gratis of the county will realize
that they were imposed upon by
Metsker.
Now that the political ringsters
have got the, elephants on their
hands, they don't known what to
do with them OF course, they
will try to smooth things over
and patch up the mess that they
have made of it.
They will probably try to get
Martindale to forget the sting of
their lash, and to make him forget
the abuse and insults that have
been heaped upon him by the
mouthpiece of the combination,
the Plymouth Democrat, by
promising him the county attor-
neyship, but if they succeed the
Tribune will be greatly mistaken
in its estimate.
They will try to make Mr..
Wise think. that the lashing they
gave him was just for his own
good. and that all he has to do is
to wait two or three hundred
years and he will be recognized
as a Democrat
They probably won't try to
square themselves with Kellison,
for they know that ne has a
square jaw and that there is not
brains enough in the whole gang
TO fool him ten seconds. Kellison
denounced the tail-end, snap, jul
dicial primary as nothing but
bear-trap to catch thoughtless
Democrats, and a scheme to
throw the judgeship to Fulton
county.
He stated that he would not
recognize it as Democratic con-
vention and that he would not go
near or vote in the convention,
and he kept his word. His posi-
ton was consistent, and the time
will come when his good sense
and courage will be apparent to
the honest Democrats in the
county.
What will the honest Demo
Gratis of Marshall county do about
it anyway? Will they get down
on their knees, like whipped span
iels and lick the brutal hands that
smote them, or will they resent
the whole dastardly business in
way that will be remembered for
years to come?
The bosses have the nominees
already picked out for the next
six or eight years, and when it
suits their purpose, they will
change back to a delegate system,
just as they have flip-hopped be-
fore.
How do you like it, honest
Democrats of Marshall county?
The officers of the Democratic
county committee openly made
their choice, in reference to can
didates, particularly SO in the Of
fee of prosecutor. These officers
used the power and funds of their
Offices to secure the nomination
of their favorites. Is this fair to
the other candidates? The run

tax that is applied to the entire county.
The result will be that in 1909 the sur
plus will be increased at least $75,000
and the county will, as it now 10 ana
for more than a year has been, actuai-
ly paying interest on it's own money.
1t is true that law was passed author
izing the issue of these bonds. The
board, as individuals, requested that
this law be passed and other parties
interested saw that it was passed. This
act was passed in March, 1907, and
pledges the faith of the state that the
act will not be repealed nor amended
until the bonds are paid, which is, of
course, proper; but it means until the
bonds expire. The county has, there
fore, a long period before it in which
to pay interest while it's immense ana
unlawful surplus is practically taken
out of the pockets of the people and
tied up with the holder Of the bonds.
Except when viewed as a rather re-
markable example of high finance, this
transaction is most extraordinary and
peculiar. Ii there is no surplus, it Is
because of these conditions. but the
act was not mandatory; it simply au-
thorized the bond issue; it did not en-
force it, and there is not a court in
the land that would have required the
board to borrow money with an un-
expended surplus of such proportions
on hand, to say nothing of what was

authorized the issue of bonds for 20
years, left by its provisions as to the
time discretionary with the board;
they issued them for 20 years-the ex-
treme limit.
1t is the law beyond question, that
the board can buy real and personal
property and build and furnish jails
and other county buildings without the
passage of any special law; it is also
the law that in the transaction of the
lawful business OF the public it can
use the money of the county not
especially appropriated. 1t is only
when county is without funds and
desires to improve it's buildings or con-
struct new ones, or needs money for
other lawful purposes, that it is neces-
sary to issue bonds, and the act under
which the bonds are issued is not for
the purpose of authorizing the con-
struction of the buildings but to legal
ize the bonds and make them binding
obligations against the county of
issue, the commissioners having no
authority without the sanction of the
special act to issue such paper.
The transaction is without excuse
as it is without parallel in the history
of municipal government. If it shows
nothing worse, it certainly shows in

Amounts shown by the quarterly re.

county of Humboldt, state of Nevada.
The power to fix the rate of taxa
tion for county purposes Is vested4 BY
law in the county commissioners, whose
the current expenses of the county.
The rate is fixed not later than March
in each year, and is not required to
be adjusted so as to meet the expense
to a dollar. 1t frequently happens
that the rate is too low, for the rea-
son that the county is sometimes callen
upon to meet unexpected expense; in
such case the board, at its succeeding
levy provides for such deh-
cheney and in the meantime scrip is
issued to meet the obligations. When
the rate is fixed too high, as in this
case, it is the duty of the board to
reduce it, the board. in March, 1907,
fixed the county rate at Is cents per
800 of valuat tion-25 cents for school,
10 cents for road and 10 cents for
special redemption; in March, 1903,
with an unexpended surplus of
$153, ,S21.55, instead of reducing the
rate and using the money to meet the
expense of Jail building, the board bor-
rowed $4,000, issued bonds bearing
interest at 5 per cent per annum for
20 years, and adopted the old rate of
taxation, with the addition of cents
special for INDECENT and 10 cents

LAST DESPERATE EFFORT
OF A DEFEATED PARTY
Infamous Anonymous Circular. Scattered Broad
cast Over State, Traced to the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee

ing with the declaration that instrac-
lions were issued from RspublieAa
headquarters TO the Republican press
Of the state to use it simultaneously
and comment upon it editorially.
Concerning the statement that the
circular emanated from Republican
headquarters, directly or indirectly,
or was circulated by the Republicans,
or was heard of ct Republican head
quarters until after its distribution
over the state, shall not be choice OF
words, but declare it an unmitigated
lie.
"That its source 10 from some per-
son bitterly opposed to Flanagan and
the Republican party is shown by the
fact that in Washoe county equally
scurril0us attacks, in circular form,
printed on the same quality Of paper
and in the same type, and character
lied by the same style Of abusivs
language, is being insidiously cirsa-
lated against Hark, Fitzgerald, Dodgs
and Sullivan, Republican nominees fos
the assembly, in which language i
used equally as abusive and derogatofy
as against Flanagan. One Of these ei.,-
culars is entitled George Hark-Rsad
His Record;' another, Fitzgerald for
the Assembly is Impossible;' and stiA
another, Voters of Washoe, Beware
all denouncing Republican candidates
with extreme virulence.
"When these circulars, although ms
radically different from the yellow cir.
cular which the Democratic party has
caused to be distributed at every Re-
publican meeting in the state, wsrs
called 10 tho attention Of the Repubh
can committee, it was the consensus Of
opinion that they were beneath even
a Democratic committee, and must
have emanated from some degenerate
whose mind was wavering betwssa
idiocy and insanity. But now, with
the statement which Chairman Somsrs
