Another evidence Of the manner in
vnich Of v. Bailey, candidate for Sec
larry Of state on the Democratic tick
=. ia neglecting his official duties in
o.dar to devote his time to the cam
Doign. making exceptions only to Off
cial matters which he or his assistants
can turn to advantage as campaign
capital or construe to their own bene-
Al came to light during the last few
DAVIS. 1t is only another sample of the
degradation and dirty dealing to which
man will descend in order to accom-
n,,sb his end. There have been mum
orous instances of o. V. Badley's crook
sdness published during the present
campaign, but this last deal should be
cIincher-ample proof to the voters
~ Idaho that he is not morally fit to be
entrusted with the responsibilities of a
state Office.
The Latest Deal.
Here is the story as it comes to the
Leader-Herald:
On the 18th Of November bill for
damages for cattle killed and injured
BY the collapse Of the Falks Store
bridge several weeks previous was
presented to the board OF county com
mtssioners. The board refused to al
low the bill on the grounds that the
county was in this case not liable fol
the loss OF property. o. v. Bailey, in
his official capacity of clerk, was pres
ent at the meeting of the board and
was fully aware that the board disal
lowed the bill. Some time later
through the clerks Office, a warrant fol
3421.78, the full amount of the bill il
question, was drawn and mailed to the
party asking for damages. That war
rant was drawn by either o. V. Bailey
himself, or by his chief deputy, Whit
I'm, and with the full knowledge thai
the commissioners had refused to al
low it. 1t is we'll to mention here that
Whifin is also secretary of the Demo.
cratic county central committee.
The Object.
The object of this piece of crooked
ness is not at first apparent, but that
II was one of the dirtiest deals ever
contaminated by any candidate is east
ly shown. Last week, about Friday, &
circular letter, entitled, "An Appeal tc
Taxpayers" was put out, supposedly
by the Democratic committee, for dis
tribution all over the county. The let
tiers were distributed at Caldwell, and
1t is alleged were sent to every com
munity in the county; however, tn
dope" in the letter was so rank that
the more conscientious candidates or
the Democratic ticket easily realized
that 1t would be a boomerang, with a
reaction detrimental to party inter
ests AS a result the 1000 circulars
sent to Nampa, as we'll as those sent to
other towns in the county, we're called
In and never distributed among the
voters.
The Circular.
The circular letter appeals to voters
to support the Democratic ticket
charges the Republican county admin,
istration with extravaganza and lays
the responsibility for high taxes at the
door Of the board Of commissioners. A
the end of the circular, In the nature
OF signature, appears the names o
those ON the Democratic ticket. II
justice to the majority of the Demo
cratic candidates, 1t Is stated that thu
letter was published without thei
knowledge and their names used with
out their permission. To substantial
the charges against the Republican OF
fcials Of extravaganza, a number OF IN
stances purported to have been takel
from the records are cited, amon
which is the following paragraph
Nov, II you have absorbed that
have you heard about the Falk stor
bridge that collapsed and have 20
seen the claims that have been tile
against your county for live stock de
Stroyed and damage resulting fro'
this neglect? The most derelict of
