The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1910-10-08

broken this year finds echo in the Springdale Re-
former of last week. Commenting on the myste-
rlous methods of printing the primary ballots the
Reformer states that all the advisory ballots used
there were so printed as to favor Veatch and
Braden for congress and Veatch's particular
county candidates. The manner in which the bal
lots were printed and handled certainly gave op-
portunity for trickery and is another strong
argument against throwing all county patronage
70 the Colville local option organ, despite the will
lngness and ability of other newspapers of the
county to bid on and satisfactorily execute such
work. The hold of the Statesman-I Index on county
patronage, of which it has had almost absolute
control for the past few years, is going to be
broken one of these days, and the quicker the tax
payers of the county realize the necessity of con-
certed action to that end the better off the county
will be-
1t has been announced this week that Mr. Veatch
is not going to leave here after all-that u.s. not
until after election; and that in case certain
official succeeds in being elected to Office he may
make claim for position in that Office. Well, he
has been so close to welding authority in the
auditors Office for the last four years that he will
probably get whatever he wants there.
The fact that the members of the courthouse
ring have been so profuse this week in denying
the announcement makes it quite plain that there
is something to it; but the advance leakage Of any
such plan is not likely to prove beneficial to the
candidacy of the republican aspirant for further
perquistes in the auditors branch of ring control
II will make the corpor ations come to time"
shouted Mr.. Roosevelt at Toledo.
He made the Equitable Life come to time with q
$500 campaign contribution.
He made the beef trust come to time with big
campaign contribution.
He made the Standard Oil come to time with an
other big campaign contribution.
He made E. H. Hartman, after personal con-
ference at the White House, come to time with
$3.50, 900.
These are only few of the corporations and
piutocratic interests Mr. Roosevelt made come to
time in the 1904 campaign, when he was candi-
date for the presidency.
my dear Mariar" is at it again. The Repub-
lican, of Springfield Mass, is printing some let
ters of former President Roosevelt written to Mrs.
Storer, which Mrs. Storer insists will show that
Mr.. Roosevelt asked Mr.. Storer to see President
elect KcKinley and urge him to appoint Roosevelt
assistant secretary of the navy. Mrs. Storers
letter concludes as follows: 'I write this state
ment because it is time that people in Europe and
America should know what manner of man is
Theodore Roosevelt and how much his vocifera-
ions for honesty and a square deal stand for. He
is dangerous influence, and the truth alone can
overcome his power, as it can overcome all evil"

The wholesale grocery and tobacco house of
Benham & Griffith Spokane is sending letters to
the retail merchants of this county asking support
for A. w. Anderson, who is republican candidate
for state senator and who is perfectly satisfactory
to the state wholesalers combine. All persons
who believe that the wholesalers trust needs help
should do all they can for Mr.. Anderson.
S~S
A. B. Sansburn has been elected chairman of
the democratic county central committee, and
C. NJ Durland secretary treasurer S. S. Beggs
will continue to represent this county as state
central committeeman.
Chas. Adams has been elected chairman Of the
republican county central committee, with author
ity to appoint his own secretary and treasurer and
executive committee C. J. Webb is elected re-
publican state central committeeman.
It it difficult to believe that President Taft is
wailinp because Mr.. Roosevelt has shown dis
loyalty in his old friendship, because Maine is
democratic and congress is lost. Keep a stiff
upper lip, Mr.. Roosevelt and don't place too much
faith in the new politicians of your party, who
ever they may be.
Roosevelt declares he'll scrap with trouble
seekers and reach for the point of their jaws" It
won't be long before Teddy will find some repub-
Ncan who can reach quite as far and hit just as
hard as he can.
