An Unreasonable
Campaign Cry.

| II there is anything that causes q
| emocratic official paper to boil over
| pth wrath it is to see the primaries
md conventions Of the republican par
| " pass of without bitter fight, thus
epriving the democratic editor of the
hope Of = divided and warning opposi-
pn party in the campaign. When
here is no fight over the nominations
q the republican convention, the demo-
G(atic editor Immediately proceeds to
tllk very loudly about "slate" and
l.. ossism" just as though he imagined
that the voters are all foolish enough
to jump to the conclusion that. in the
absence Of contest in the convention
there must Of necessity be SLATE"
and ''bossism." The newspaper that
adopts such an unreasonable campaign
cry as this is simply talking loudly be
cause it is not only mad TO see its cam
paign hopes blasted but because II 10
badly scared and is trying to bolster up
its courage.
The republicans of Phillips county
never put up cleaner and stronger
ticket than the ticket placed before the
voters of the county at the convention
on the 10. inst.
The editor of the official democratic pa
per knows this to be a fact and that is
another thing that hurts.
He knows that the republican candi-
dates are representative citizens Of the
county and that the voters Of the coun
ty will not for moment listen to any
attack that he dare make on these can
didates. He will not dare attack the
candidates on their standing as repre-
sentative citizens Of the county or ON
their ability and fitness for the several
Offices for which they are candidates
but will ask the voters to defeat them
at the polls simply because they are not
on friendly terms with parties in the
county whom he is disposed to call po-
litical bosses" and were nominated
without opposition which. in his judg-
mcnt. proves conclusively that they
were slated.
II these candidates were slated. they
were slated by the republicans Of the
county for they were nominated by
delegates who were selected in open
and fairly conducted party primaricr.
The announcement as candidates was
before the voters for several wcckc
giving ample time 10 any republican or
republicans not fully satisfied with
them Ms candidates TO bring out other
candidates. but none were brought out
The democratic county convention
may and should bring out candidates
named by the voters Of that party but
when the democratic editor. by insinu-
alton. makes the charge that the rcpub-
lican candidates were not named by the
voters Of the party. the voters Of the
county will very reasonably call upon
the gentleman to make good his charge
with some proof.
What was intended for the first big
democratic gun Of the campaign has
been fired hut Il has proven to be only
a fash In the pan.

Me- PerCe-IdahO County
Should Build Railroad

Attorney J. 0. Bender, Of Lewiston,
has a scheme for building an electric
car line into the Elk City country, and
he has written the Lewiston Tribune
as follows regarding it:
To the Tribune: Why not Nez Perez
and Idaho counties build an electric
railroad from Elk City to Lewiston?
The last Legislature PASSED law
which provides for the erection and
organization Of districts for the build
ing of railroads from the issuance Of
bonds for that purpose. Here is a way
provided by which the product Of mines,
farms and forests Of this whole country
back of Lewiston can be delivered to
the Snake river on boats for the mark
cts Of the world. Here is a way that
this whole country can be tied together
under one system, working for one OBJ
ject-the development Of this entire
country. Here is a way to fix freight
rates, SO that the producer will get the
benefit Of aD open river.
] have said before in public that
Lewiston and its merchants and bust
ness men should not have the benefit Of
the open river directly, but that the
producers as well as the consumers IN
this country should have these benefits.
] repeat it. Lewiston, as a city, should
have the resultant benefit Of lower
freight rates from the increase Of bust
ness, but the people should see to it
that they get the direct benefit from
our open river
A railroad from Elk City to Lewis
ton, built By these two counties, would
sinch the solution of freight rates for
this entire country and without a cent
Of expenditure TO any one There can
be no doubt but chat such a railroad
would pay four or FIVE per cent ON the
Investment end bonds issued by these
counties could be sold easily on that
rate Of interest pei annum. The law
is an equitable one. as e provides for
the assessment of such 'ands in the dis
trict through which liz railroad Is con-
structei as shall be benefited by such
railroad and ln proportion 10 such Dene-
hts ! am Informed tlaf the law Is
now being tested al 3oise b. the courts,
NJ soon viii be- cod "a ii rs sastai Jed,
