Initiatai Bills

Oregon has had the initiative
and referendum a few years and
he graft and scandal connected
mas become so rank that the peo-
pis are organizing clubs all over
the state to vote against every
one of the mass of bills presented
to them this year. Colorado will
soon be against the same PROPOSE
ton. This years mess is only a
starter as the petition factories did
not get into action soon enough
to do their worst. The quicker
the people strike a blow at 1t the
better off they will be. Most of
these bills contain somebody's pri-
vate grudge or graft and are un-
safe and vicious. In the mass OF
matter published it is hoped that
the jokers in the bills will be
overlooked especially as the titles
are made to sound very noble and
high minded. Some of the rankest
are given such titles as Mothers
Compensation. Promotion of Pros
perity, Wider Use of Schools by
People, Teachers Salaries, etc.
The real Intelligent and honest
class of voters are too busy to
take the time to carefully inform
themselves as to these bills and
yet If you fail to vote some most
your negligence. The safest plan is
If you are not thoroughly informed
of the merits of bill vote against
1T. and very safe vote is to place
voIr cross against each of the 32
bills and amendments.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT
What the Democratic Candidates
Promise the Voters

]. S. McClung, candidate for
commissioner from the east district,
and others are circulating a state
ment concerning his service to the
.olnty in stopping the building of
bridges across the Amtty canal
and making various charges against
the present officials. This will be
greatly appreciated by the farmers
who on account of Mr.. McClung's
injunction are compelled to haul
their produce miles around to find
a bridge that will hold heavy loads.
rhey will take great delight no
doubt in voting for the man who
has made this necessary. And by
by the way as long as they have
TO drive it is at least some help to
have the miles and miles of splend-
i'd roads constructed by the pres
ent enterprising officials to haul
their crops over Mr.. McClung was
commissioner and a member of the
majority on the board for three
years and in that time not one
mile of passable road was made in
the county, no bridges were con-
structe d and nothing done for the
benefit or advancement of the
county. In spite of this practical
ly every fund of the county was in
the hole when the democrats turn
ed over the government to the re-
publicans although through all the
years the taxes had been the high
est. In one term the republicans
placed all these funds on cash
basis and kept most of them there
all the time until within the past
few years the very heavy drain
for bridges washed out by floods
and the enormous construction of
new roads has caused some defic-
iency. The democrats promise you
a return to the days of poor roads
and high taxes. Do you want it?

v.CE PRESIDENT SHERMAN Is
DEAD
Republican Candidate for Vice
President Dies after Severe
ILLNESS

Vice President James Schoolcraft
Sherman. who has been too i'll for
several weeks to take part
in the campaign began to
sink very fast this week and
died today. He has been one OF
the prominent figures in public
ife for many years. He was a
.eading figure for many terms in
the lower house of congress, and
four years ago was nominated for
president on the ticket with
President Taft. adding much
strength to the ticket, especially
in the east He was a prominent
business man also and had the con-
idence of the business men gener
ally throughout the country. The
country loses. in his death an able
and upright official and the repub-
lican party a strong worker and
exponent of its doctrines.

The republicans of the county can
point to the above ticket with con-

composed of most reputable and
able citizens, whose abilities have
oeen tried. whose honor is unim-

qualified for the positions for which
they are asking the suffrage of
the voters.
There has never been a ticket
placed before the voters of the

superior to the one the republicans
are this year offering for the con-

Have To do II

One of the beauties of the initia-
live and referendum 10 shown in
the servile condition of the demo
cratic papers at this time. Com
lied by Mr.. Pearce, secretary of
state and dispenser of the state
patronage under the initiative and
referendum law, they are making
desperate but amusing efforts to
throw the blame for the attacks
being made on Mr.. Pearce on to
the republican state committee.
These charges were first publicly
made by Roady Kenehan before
the democratic state assembly and
were Investigated and substantial
ID afterwards by the women's dem
ocratic clubs of Denver and are
being circulated by members of
these clubs and by the citizens
party committee on the strength of
affidavits furnished by reputable
women of Denver. The republican
committee has kept out of the fight
entirely. But the editors with the
patronage and warrants unissued
are forced to crawl before Mr..
'ce and do his bidding.

VOTERS WARNED
Daily Crouch A"nOunces Its Inten-
tions for Closing Of Campaign

The Daily Crouch warns the
voters that certain papers are pre-
pairing to make rank personal at
tacks on reputable citizens in the
closing days of the campaign, and
that no attention should be paid
to them. The Crouch is the only
paper in this campaign that has
made any personal attacks and it
therefore knows whereof 1t speaks.
1t has made number so false
ond contemplate that the persons
attacked would pay no attention to
them whhatever. 1t no doubt Is
speaking from personal knowledge
Of it's own intentions and we do
not doubt that its closing issue will
be filled with similar slush. The
voters will most likely take these
ISLANDERS at the Grouch's own esti-
mate and pay no attention to 1t.

The Democratic program is to
reduce the cost of living by re-
ducing the tariff. Inasmuch as
the principal advance in prices is
in the products of the farm. this
program ought to appeal to the
farmer If by juggling the tariff
the prices of hogs, cattle. eggs. but
ter, poultry, etc. can be cut in two
of course the farmer ought to be
pleased to contribute. The best
way to bring this about VIII be to
vote for Woodrow Wilson. who
does not believe in protection, but
who entertains the absurd notion
that we can have high prices for
what we sell and low prices for
what we buy at one and the same
