The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1908-10-24


Why?
sufficient answer may be found in the follow
ing figures, which show the amount of money the
various newspapers of the county have received
for county printing since the present officials have
been in the auditors office:
Index-Revele ........... ............... 430 68
Newport Miner. ..................... ....... 47430
Northport Republican. ....................... 69.25
Springdale Record -Reformer. .,............. 1910
Chewelah Independent ... .... $3.50
Northport News ......... ................... 2400
Kettle Falls Tribune Unknown
Through the persistent efforts Of the various
democratic officials the Examiner has been al
lowed to furnish little more than $10O this year in
printing for the county, but the Examiner has not
been paid for it ALL for the auditors office saw fit to
hold up warrant for about $35-too much money
to pay to democratic paper all at once.
Now why is it that the Reveille-Index desire to
have the present officials retained in the auditors
office?
Mr. Bryan might make hit in the Rocky mount
ain states by proposing a federal guaranty of min
ing stock deposits. Omaha Bee.
We would like to suggest to the Omaha Bee that
Mr.. Bryan had been forestalled on the proposition
of federal guarantee of. mining stock deposit
and could not advocate such measure without in
fringing upon republican copyright granted to
that party by the congress of the United States
last June.
Certainly the editor of the Bee must know that
the Aldrich-Vreeland political emergency act pro-
vides for federal guarantee of railway stocks and
bonds, or any other old thing national bank ap-
preaching condition of involvency may happen to
hold in it's "bs receivable pouch as an assert Not
only are such credit instruments to receive federal
guarantee for the accommodation of the national
banks, but they can be coined by those banks into
Taft Emergency Dollars at the ratio of one and
one-fourth to one and the federal government
guarantees ultimate redemption of these Taft dol
lars in gold
Wall street has had long experience in running
congress-
S. C. Sturman of Maud, candidate for represent
ative, has been a resident of this state for %
years and of this county for Is years. He has
made success of farming and stock raising on
the Columbia river, and has gained name for in
tegrity and ability that has finally brought him be-
fore the people as candidate for representative
in the state assembly.
Mr.. Sturman has wife and nine children three
of whom are teachers. He has also been teacher,
and held certificates in Minnesota and North Da-
kota. He is especially we'll versed in the matter
of assessment work, having been in the county
assessors office both in North Dakota and in Spo-
kane county, and since coming to Stevens county
has kept in touch with all matters connected with
the work of the state administration
The residents of Maud and vicinity can bear
witness to his enterprise in establishing and main
tanning the school of his district much of the
funds coming from his own pocket. But the re-
suit is that his district has of the best schools
in the county-a tribute to him which the public
must recognize as beftting man whom it would
send to the legislature
Mr. Sturman is decisive in his attitude toward
the questions which are before the people in this
campaign. He is in favor Of the initiative and
referendum, the eght-hour law, the law regulat-
ing child labor, and the proposed law relative to
underground miners. With all questions of public
Importance he is thoroughly familiar, and it is a
pleasure to meet and talk with such man, who
has made study of county and state matters and
is capable of grasping the important points in law
making. Compare him and his knowledge, ex-
perience ability and appearance, with any of his
opposing republican candidates, and Judge whom
you would select to capably represent you in the
legislative halls.
Bryan Guaranteed bank deposits.
Taft Guaranteed Wall street deposits
