lave been republicans.


Fortunately there is sufficient
time for the refutation of this
charge, and voters who are not
yet satisfied can further investi-
gate, but there is a possibility
that in the last days of the
campaign some similar hoax
may be sprung when thereis no
time to disprove it. Against
such contingency voters
should be on their guard, partic-
ularly the vot rs who have re-

A. G. Burbank has the honorable
distinction of having been. among
the first county treasurers in Mon
tana, if not the first, to collect in
terest on county funds. He did this,
too, at time when such actions was
not matter legal compulsion. Dur
ing his administration, the interest
collected was but $4,000. short of the
amount of his salary. Admittedly,
also, Carl was most excellent treas
urer His record as an official is a
powerful recommendation. At the
close of his second campaign, it was
found that he was high man on his
ticket, fact which attests his popu-
larity with the voters.
For the first time in it's history
Teton County will this fall elect
county auditor, having moved up
notch in its classification among the
counties of the state. James Smith
presents qualities of mind and char
acter which eminently fit him for
the honor of being the county's
first auditor. Also, his business
training and experience make him
very plausible candidate. The
voters of the county can make no
mistake by supporting Mr.. Smith.
Miss Ethel Reid, republican can
diddte for the position of county
superintendent of schools, is placed
at disadvantage in her campaign
by reason of the fact that she is
busy every school day in the schools
of Bynum. She is by no means dis
posed to slight her duties there in
order TO make her canvas more
thorough, fact which the voters
should take into consideration. Miss
Reid is, however. active and ener-
gectic, and she may be trusted to
make the most of her spare time. 1t |
is much to be hoped that the voters
of the county will have opportunity |
to meet Miss Reid, who has such an |
abundance of qualifications for the |
superintendency. No one thinks
for minute that the schools of the |
county would suffer at the hands of |
Miss Reid. Her training and exper-
ience have been as to insure the |
welfare of the schools under her ad-
ministration, should the voters
choose her for the office.
If there is any doubt in the minds
of the voters as to the efficiency ofl
the present administration of the
county assessors office, and such a
doubt certainly does exist, let them |
try a very promising change by
voting for Mr.. Lundgren, the repub-
lican aspireant. Mr.. Lundgren is
most favorable impression |
wherever he meets the voters.
What possible reason could be
assigned why the voters should make
a change in the case of Larson, Gar
ret, Mckenzie, Gleason or Hulbush?
To ask anything of the kind or to
accept it would be to ask or ex-
pect the voters to exchange an en-
lnently satisfactory situation for an
other which at best would be new
and untried and for which there
would be no justification whatever.
We venture the assertion that in
these instances the voters will glad
ly let well enough alcne.

''Choteau Ring a
Weak Argument
County Committee Takes
Exception to Busey's
Little Hobby

of the Conrad Independent in
this campaign, as in one or two
others, is the Choteau ring, So
called, republican in politics, of
course. One would think that
Editor Busey would finally tire
of setting up and knocking
down this man of straw, that
the one string of his democratic
fiddle so persistently sawed up
on would at least call for a
change, but he seems utterly
oblivious to the fact that his
ring bug-a-boo has long since
become a joke, and so he saws
right ahead.
No other charge so entirely
without grounds could have
been brought against Teton
County republicanism as this
half-assertion that a political
clique controls the party. 1t
will be observed that the Inde-
pendent never quite brings the
charge openly and as something
that can be easily proved. On
the contrary, the matter is re-
ferred to by innuendo or taken
off-hand as thing recognized
by all who know. Such tactics
might be permitted to 60 .un-
challenged but for the large
body Of new voters who might
be deceived. In their interest
it may be said that the Inde-
pendent has never at any time
offered a SINCE scrap Of evidence
to prove the existence Of re-
publican ring in Teton County.
The simple truth of the whole
is that no such evidence exists
and there is no republican ring
in Teton County. If such a
ring had existed, more people
than Mr.. Busey would long ago
have had unmistakable proof
for it's existence, and so far he
seems to be only individual in
the county who has knowledge
of it. There is no necessity of
trying to disprove groundless
charge, There is no possibility
of doing anything of the kind.
as a matter of fact, and therein
lies all the danger there is in
such unscrupulous methods.
The Independent is challenged
and defied to bring any sort of
competent proof of the exist
ence of a republican ring in this
county. A ring generally i'm
plies boss. Who is boss of
republicans in Teton County,
He would be certainly d bold
man who would assert such a
claim.
To conclude rather disagree
able matter, it may be truth
fully said that it is now many
years since any charge Of dis
honorable conduct could be
brought against Teton County
officials, whatever there politics
may have been, a ring in a
county breeds corruption in Of
flee which soon shows itself un-
mistakably. In fact, few coun-
ties have been better governed,
none, we believe, and for this
the republican party of the
county may rightfully take
credit, since practically all the
officials during the past decade

Should Lower Tuition.

The rural high school board have
that they will make no
reduction in the tuition for the
coming school year. AS the high
tuition last year meant the loss of
several students we see no reason
why a poor policy of the kind
should be continued. II is said
that the Meridian members accept
the plan in Difference to the outside
members who wish to get even
with other districts who have with
drawn from the high school terri
tory. This is poor policy and as
the bulk of the property ofthe dis.

phatic protest against repeating
what was considered a serious error

Mad Dog Scare.

The presence Of dog apparent
ly afflicted with the rabies caused
excitement in town last Saturday
and Sunday. The FIRST dog came
apparently from the east. and may
have been one that had been bit
ten at Boise during the excitement
there two weeks ago. This dog.
a mcdium-sized black animal. bit
score or more Of Meridian CANNES,
but late in the evening was killed.
Another dog the next day made
quite trip. biting dogs. both in the
town and country. and also Bit
COW belonging to farmer near
town. before being dispatched.
Fears for the safety OF the children
here has prompted many own
ere OF dogs In town to have the
animals killed. Others are muzzling
the brutes and will take the chance.
The animals bitten are expected to
show symptoms in about one
week.
Describing the rabies. DR.. Cook.

AIRY, says;
"A peculiar contagious disease

The light vote and interest in
the two parties last named was mo-
ticeable. A foolish neglect upon
the part OF the election judges or
clerks has prevented the Meridian
people from knowing the totals for
this precinct, as they were sealed

any record being left. This &c
counts for no Meridian figures In
the Times.
However. Brady and Halnes
both received majorities here. The
