TUT Up THE FACTS OR SHUT UP
Candidate Moore Bowed orit by AZ

Weiser Signal
The speech of Mr.. Moore. the DEM
ocratic nominee for attorney general
of the state, in this city, Friday
night, October 14th served to evil
dence the fact that no true supporter
of Mr.. Hawley and his ticket Will
cease INDUCING in the rankest kind
of demagogery and Misrepresentation
regardless of the effect it may have
upon the state, if he desires to OBJ
serve party regularity. If there be
cessation of the manifestation Oh
this spirit upon his part, his party
loyalty will be questioned to say the
least.
Mr.. Moore is considerably exercised
because the governor and his stan
did not foot it" to the Yukon-Alas-
kan exposition at Seattle, Washing
ton, and stop in wagon-yard while
there. Mr.. Moore might apply his
far fetched ideas of economy If cleo
ted to the Office to which he aspires,
but it is safe to assume that the ad-
vertisement thus given the state
would cause many a patriotic native
to strenuously deny his nativity
when abroad.
Be it said, however, to the credit
of the citizens OF Weiser, regardless
of political utilization, that Mr.
Moore's speech was not very en-
Enthusiastically received. 1t was In
every way characteristic of the cam
paign that is being waged by his
party. He rehashed misrepresenta-
| lions that were threshed out Ions
| since and proven false. He consumed
considerable time in distorting facts
relative to the charge that Governor
Brady and staff of eleven members
paid $500 of the states money FOL
a dinner at Portland, Oregon, while
enroute to Seattle to attend the Yu'
kon Alaskan exposition. Mr.. Moore
charged that any man or set of men
could secure all the bread, meat, but.
ter and potatoes necessary for any
man to eat for $1.00 and that 1--WE
know that the remainder was spent
for booze" for wines and champagne
lat $3.50 per bottle
Now, this charge is entirely at var
lance with facts and it is evidently
pre-conceived, malicious, misrepre
sentation. for there was no wine OF
liquor on the table as can be veri
fed by some twenty-five people, wht
were present at this dinner. TIT
marty included the governor, Ms
! staff. a number of ladies who wer'
!. enroute to Seattle to have charge 0
the Idaho building as hostesses, ant
several others who were attending
the exposition in an official capacity
including the state commissioners
AS a matter of course, Mr.. Moore di'
not state, it is fact, that Governo
Brady gave his personal check TO
$500 to secure band for the oc
casion and that it consisted of tn
best musicians in the state and ex
cited no little favorable comment
] nor did he state that at that tim
! the democratic state press very Sc
verely censured the republican stat
administration for the poor shown
! that was being made of Idahos exh
, bit at the exposition, but became re
. markably silent when those in charg
of the exhibits came back after ha,
: ing secured some thirty-five or fort
! first and second premiums for tn
state.
Now, as a matter of fact, the Co
. eronr's staff paid for their own un
h forms and were at an. expense OF frol
$50 to SIS out of their person'
!. purses towards defraying their g
penses. Mr.. Moore evidently meal

= bre, she would become the butt
ridicule and derision. that her state
men and state officials would becon

and the tide of immigration be tur

In the interests of the Gem OF Il
