TALKS WITH TONGUE CUT OUT.
Fooled Doctors In ReeaInins Powers
Of Speech and Living.


New York.-Four years after his
tongue was cut out to check the
spread OF cancer. Thomas Mcguire
known to theatrical folk throughout
the country as the one-time manager
of the Fourteenth Street and Bijou
.theaters in this city. can talk and
sing and eat solid food much like 9th
er people. His case attracted the at
tention Of medical authorities here
and elsewhere several years ago, fol
lowing the operation upon him on
March ~. 1904.
Mcguire says he was given one year
to live by the physicians when the
operation was performed. He had
smoked 20 cigars day for 20 years
before that. The doctors told him he
could never talk again, once hia
tongue was cut out at the roots. Sub
seQuently he told of his efforts to
talk after the operation and how they
were crowned with ultimate success
1t was about month after the op
Grafton that Mcguire first tried to
talk. He said he was thinking how
hard It would be never to talk again
aud ~ he thought he suddenly cried
out loud: 1 can't stand for that"
Then Mcguire says he knew he
could talk, and he soon surprised his
doctor by doing SO.
Mcguire was regarded as physio
logical wonder and his case aroused
much interest

his orders? And another republican
nominee betrayed his trust. 1t is
commonly known. No secret is
made Of it. Will the voters of
Shoshone county trust these men
after that betrayal? viii they
vote for men who will be beaten in
their own precincts and by the
party they claim to belong to? The
answer is NO. A thousand times
NO.
And now comes the double per-
fidy. They want candidates who
have no honor, no principles; men
who will foreswear their pledges at
the masters bidding. The public
can hardly conceive such double
dyed villainy as the dictators Of
this ticket have, planned and are
attempting to carry out.
In the first place the republican
state convention declared in favor
Of local option. The republican
county convention endorsed the
actions Of the state convention,
thereby pledging its legislative
nominees to support local option.
On the strength of this a great APP
peal is made for the votes OF women
and others who favor some revision
Of the liquor law and curling the
traffic. This. would be legitimate
and all very we'll in its way were
not the same people pandering to
to the saloon interests on the other
hand and swearing themselves to
oppose the passage Of this very law
which they have publicly pledged
themselves to support by every
honorable means. Honorable in
deed! They don't know the mean

Federal company is secretly trying
to defeat him? But the Federal
company can not down him. The
county needs his services and needs
them badly. He is an advocate of
good roads and of these Shoshone
county stands sadly in need. He is
intelligent and painstaking in his
public service, a man above re-
proach, who will continue to add
minister the affairs of this county
with the careful and conscientious
scrutiny that he would devote 70
his personal affairs. Be you demo-
crat or republican your vote should
be cast for this independent candi-
date whose aim is loyalty to a
public trust, and who admirably
lives up to the ideal. John F.
Murphy nominated from the First
district by the democrats is the op-
ponent of W. Alvin Hall, the
Federal representative. Mr.. Muir
ply lives in district that should
be ably represented on the county
board. He is familiar with the
needs Of the north side, though his
knowledge Of the county is by no
means limited to his place OF resi-
dencc. There is none who will
deny his fitness for Office and the
Federal whips admit there is but
little hope for their candidate
Mr.. Halls defeat however will moi
provoke any deep seated sorrow
outside the inner circle Of the
Federal.
For prosecuting attorney We arr

started out by annihilating the Fed
erals candidate in convention and
his election was assured that day.
He has so many qualifications for
the Office that it is impossible to
give a detailed list. Suffice it to
say that the people Of Shoshone
County are unanimously supporting
him without regard to party afiilia-
tions, recognizing in him the ideal
public officer.
There is no question about the
election of Lawrence E. Worstell
for Judge Of Probate. His admin
istration of this office during the
past two years warrants his return
for another term. Under his able
jurisdiction the business has nearly
doubled and his decisions in the
numerous cases tried before him
have given universal satisfaction,
while the clerical records, which are
voluminous, have been systemati-
cally arranged and are ready for
reference at a moments notice.
This is a position difficult to fill and
one with which it will not pay the
public to experiment. Your vote
for Judge Worstell means continu-
ance Of a tried and true official
against whom not one complaint
has ever been made or will be made.
Secure his services for the county
by your vote!
The last county Office on the list
with which The MINER concerns
itself is that of assessor. This
paper has supported w. H. Her.
rick for that Office since he first
announced his candidacy. 1t sup
ported him because it felt that he
was in every way fitted to assume
that trust. He has shown himself
to be a good business man, honor
able and reliable to the fullest cx-
tent and there is no question about
his election. He is a good citizen,
free from prejudice, well vcrscd in
property values and the voters Of
Shoshone county will never have
reason to regret their choice. Vote
for Herrick and you will vote right.

ing Of the word. But just reason
for a moment and see the result.
II their treachery is successful and
they manage to trick both the liquor
interests and the opposing clement
and so elect their turn-coat candi-
dates what will be the result? Sup
pose they stand by their most recent
oath and oppose the local option
bill. What effect will this mere
handful Of men, openly violating
their party pledges as recorded,
have against a solid party pledged
to put this law into effect? Ask
yourself this question calmly and
you won't need the advice of an at
torney to answer it! And you
won't believe the one sent to you
when he gives you the answer
he will frame up! Both interests
have more to gain by supporting
honest men who will carry out their
pledges than those who will make
any pledge to gain a few votes and
break it as quickly and ruthlessly.
Be warned before it is too late!
The democratic legislative ticket,

and to keep the land for those who
toll and will improve adding to

support. Will you fail to do your
duty in helping to elect it or will

After depending on Mr.. Sutherland
to restore law and order and pro.
tect their property at the risk Of
his life, this very worthy and
wealthy corporation used every
means to encompass his defeat at
the county convention knowing full
we'll that all danger Of a recurrence
OF trouble is beyond the realms Of
probability. OF course no one will
question the Federal company's
reasons. They were high minded
and holy. Naught but high and
holy ideas could emanate from such
beautiful characters as Mr.. Ellis
Hale and Mr.. Clayton Miller.
Jack Moffatt is q clean man, q
large property holder who can east
~ pass the censorship of decent
men and who would naturally deem
it an insult to be championed by
these hirelings Of the Trust. -
Read Mr.. Moffatt's statement
and you may be able to see why
these virtuous moulders Of public
opinion oppose Mr.. Moffatt. Read
Mr.. Heney's sworn denial Of the
lies published in the Press. Are
they fearful Of a sheriff who will be
impartial? This s for the people
to decide. It is for the voters to
decide which shall be sheriff, the
man who makes the statement

date.

turned is John F. Moffatt, demo-
cratic nominee for sheriff Of this
county. The Federal company has
painted him as a veritable Mephis-
topholes. If he is elected Hell will
break loose in the county. Life or
property willnot be safe. Scenes
Of lawlessness which were once en-
acted in this county but have been
almost forgotten and would be
entirely forgotten we're it not for
the Fcderal's Press daily reviying
them in the minds Of the people
are to be reproduced with Mr..
Moffatt as the stage director.
Now Of course no sane person
takes any Of this seriously. Mr..
Moffatt is a large property owner
and has the interests Of the district
at heart. To get at the direct facts
Of the case THE MINER interviewed
Mr.. Moffatt. He makes a state
mcnt strong enough to please any
one, straight from the heart and so
! plain that there is no getting back
Of it. THE MINER takes great
pleasure in giving the public the
benefit OF this statement, feeling
that it is only doing justice to
man who is being deliberately and
lnaliciously wronged by vindicat-
i've and interruptions outfit OF
professional politicians.
THE MINER has not one word to
say against Charles McKinnis the
republican nominee for sheriff.
He is clean man. He would
under ordinary circumstances be
most acceptable officer. Unfortu-
nately for himself, he has let the
Federal company champion his
cause and the Federal company will
be responsible for his defeat. Why
did the Federal company espouse
The cause Of McKinnis? Because
Angus Sutherland, his opponent
could not be regarded as safe
man to promote law ard order?
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1908-10-29

The day Of election looms close.
A feeling Of expectation and un-
certainty is noticeable everywhere.
How will this county go?. That is
the question which every resident
is asking his neighbor and in turn
answering at their next meeting.
The MINER does not agree with
either Of the local papers. 1t does
not agree with the Times that there
is good only in the democrats, nor
does it agree with the vicious as
sertions Of the Press
II there is rioting and bloodshed,
sedition, conspiracy and rebellion
against the law Of the state and
nation in this county within the
the next two years the Federal Min
ing and Smelling company, through
the melting utterances OF its own
paper, will be mainly responsible
and will be 50 held by the citizens
Of this county-not the rabble whom
they are inviting to acts OF vicious
ness and violence-but the law
loving and law abiding citizens,
who are in the great majority.
Possibly at some time in the past
the Press served useful purpose
but since it passed into the hands
Of the Federal Mining and Smelt-
ing company it has ceased to fill
any necessity and its dying gasps
Of malice and venom fifty illustrate

by its owners. 1t reminds one Of
