and the defeat of Orcutt That is tn
not enough, this Spokane paper, tina
up to this time has never given La
tab county a square deal, and is al
ways partial to Washington, and al
ways for the Washington state col
lege at Pullman or against the Uni

view, "our dear friend" that lovet
Latah county so well that after the
Moscow band went to the Spokane ap-
pie show, and won first honors in that
| big band contest, gave the Moscow
band, which was the Latah county
| band, just a mere mention on an in
side page. Had Pullman won, it would
have been streamer across the front
page. And so it has generally been.
The Review has surely loved u.s.
1t has charged us more for it's daily
than it has the people of Lewiston,
because up to recently Lewiston had
a daily paper. And the citizens of
Moscow know that there are more
things than these that can be men
toned.
The fact that P. l.. Circuit has lived
in Latah county almost quarter of
a century, and the people among whom
he has lived have had every OPP
portunity to know him, and to judge
of his honesty, the Review tells the
people that circuit is dishonest, un-
worthy and corrupt; that in spite of
the fact that he stands for the very
things the Review pretends to stand
fora corrupt practice act, equal taxa
ton, a railroad commission and hon

is a tool of the Potlatch Lumber COM
pany, and should be defeated. The
Review says that while circuit is
rascal that Mr.. Fields is honest, and
Oyersmith is honest, and the Review
is honest, and circuit should be de-
feated and the other gentlemen elect
ed.
Were it not for the fact that Mr.
Fields and Mr.. Oversmith conferred
with the Review man, and at least
knew the Review article was going to
appear, and that these two candidates
really wrote their own recommends

content to have little to say about
either MI. Fields on Mr.. Oversmith.
and this in the face of the fact that
both have never overlooked an orpor
unity to misrepresent and abuse Mr..
Orcutt
We are going to permit Oversnith
o pass because the people are already

my further introduction. Permit JUS
word about Mr. Fields
The Review wants the people of La
all county to defeat Orcutt because
lie is a bad man, dishonest, COR
upt man, and an enemy of the peo I
lie, and to elect Mr.. Fields because {
e is honest, progressive and friend

let the people who live here them

themselves what those two men have {
