Occur d'Alene. Idaho.
March 81, 1909.

Yesterdays Journal contained a
statement that the Peoples Progress
sive Improvement ticket was fixed
"In the privacy of Joe Carroll's pri-
vate residence" and insinuates that
]. T. Scott participated in naming the
councilmen of the various wards, and
that he is a stokholder in the Con-
sumer's Company and the Kootenai
Power company.
Now, the fact is, that Mr.. Scott has
as much right to participate in nam
ing candidates for city officers as any
other citizen, and to own stock in the
companies mentioned as any other
man, but the truth is, that each and
all of the above assertions and insin-
uations referred to are false, and are
known by the Journal and the poll
ticians who are running it, at the
present time, to be false, and were
published for the sole purpose of de-
ceiving the voters.
l will make this proposition to the
Journal or any supporter Of the Hub
bard ticket: | will put up any sum
from $500 up to $500, in the hands
of any reputable man or woman,
against a like sum. and If the Journ-
al or any one else will furnish the af-
hdavit of one reputable citizen stat
ing positively that he was present at
any time when the Peoples Progress
siye improvement ticket, the sum so
put up by me shall be divided equal
ly between the public library and the
churches Of the city. II furnish the
aff1davits of at least four reputable
citizens stating that no part of the
Peoples Progressive Improvement
ticket was put up In Carroll's resi-
dence or ONCE. and that Mr.. Scott
did not name a single candidate on
said ticket. the money 80 put
up by the other party shall be divided
and disposed of in the same manner,
the party holding the money to be the
sole judge OF the proofs. This is not
intended as a wager. and trust that
1t will not be 50 considered. but ]
mean just exactly what say. and this
proposition will hold good till the ev-
ening before the election. 1t Is time
