tray and match. He threw a pinch of
tea into the tray. touched it with a

other brand of tea that had claimed
my half hearted allegiance. The first
sample showed only a small fake of
ashes. the second three times as much.

The Republican county ticket of Pend
Oreille county is worthy the support of
every voter in the county. 1t is COM
posed of clean and honorable men,
fairly nominated at the primary election,
and there is no faint against either the
ticket as whole nor against any indi
vidual on it.
The Republican campaign has been
conducted in a fair-minded spirit. No
attacks have been made on any innivid-
uals, either from the platform, by cir
ulars or through the press. AS far as
the Republicans of the county are con-
cerned, the campaign has been dis
cussion of the qualifications of the can
didates on their ticket, with no attempt
to decry their opponents or to make
yelled charges or insinuations against
any one.
AS to the course followed by others
in this campaign, comment is unneces-
sary. Those of the voters who have
attended the political meetings held in
all parts of the country are the best
judges of the character of the campaign
waged, and we believe that their judg-
ment will be in favor of the men who
have put forth their own claims and
kept their campaign free from sneers
and unjust charges against their oppo-
nents.
In this issue is reproduced letter
sent out by the Republican campaign
committee, making a direct answer to
the published charge of the Democratic
committee that corporation influence is
felt in Republican rule in this county.
The charge is base and unfounded, and
is nothing more than an insult to the
intelligence and integrity of the voters
who at the primary placed the Repub-
lican ticket in nomination.
Having put forth a campaign free
from personalities, and composed of men
who are we'll qualified for the positions
they seek, there should be no doubt as
the victory of the Republican county
ticket. The county is overwhelmingly
Republican, and if the party stands
squarely behind it's ticket all of it's can
didates will be elected.
In a new county like ours it is neces-
sary that the several political parties
