No, Jim didn't sell typewriters to the
county. He was only the agent and
got the cream off the pan. The county
bought, or rather Pat and his board
bought about $1,000 worth of machines
at one time, and paid 500 per, or
about $40 per machine more than the
old traps were worth. The govern
ment buys these same machines at
81 each. And Jim and Pat were pre-
sumably partners, and Pat represented
the people of Clearwater county and
paid the bill, while Jim presumably
represented the receiving end of the
deal and
Now see here, Windy" you are a
new man in the county, wait fifty or a

that time, if the gang continues to run
the county, there wont be anything

STAND UP MR.. CROW.

You are editor and publisher, pre-
sumably, Of the Orofino Tribune, arr
you not?
And have.been for some two years?
Some months ago your paper was il
the hole, or words to that effect, was /
not, and you sold, or tried to sell stool
to different people?
w. s. Cunningham, Of Gilbert, is nov
one Of the owners OF the Orofino Tri
bune, isn't he? Does Mr.. Cunning
ham get dividends on his investment
Does he get his share Of the graft!
Did he get part Of that $S6.43 cents fol
printing 86 lines for the dear tax pay
ers? Does Mr.. Cunningham get his
share Of the graft from the presen'
county printing contract Of ten cents
per line, when the Republican offered
to do it for three?
Didn't you go to Spokane last year
and while there call at the office of the
Orofino Portland Cement Co? Didn't
you try to sell this cement company
$500 worth Of stock in your paper
And didn't you, when that stunt failed,
try to borrow $500 from the same COM
pany? And were you not told that the
company was not buying newspapers
nor'running bank? And haven't you
had it in for the cement company from
the time you tried to pull their legs for
$500? Did Jim Blake tell you how te
put this deal through? Did Jim ant
the Fid-del-t bank figure out the
scheme whereby the farmers were
worked for some Of the same stock:
Did the farmers get the same kind OF
stock that you tried to soak the cement
company for? Are farmers easier pick
ing than cement companies?
II the cement company refused to
let you and Jim Blake graft them does
It indicate that this company has poor
business judgment. and is not COM
petent and honest?
II the cement company had invested
$500 Of company funds in your paper
would you be knocking them today?
What official position do you occupy?
Did the people elect you? Are you a
taxpayer? Do you own property in
Clearwater county? II so. what?

Even the enemies of Senator Brady
must admit that he has made a credit
able record as senator, and for a new
member in democratic congress, has
made good. He has worked hard, has
already some valuable committee as
signments. and is as progressive as
Borah, which just is about right. The
only reason that can be assigned for
retiring Senator Brady is that at least
three other republicans want to be U.
S. senator.

Pat Blake says that Sampson Snyder
is really the brains back of the Clear
water Republican. Now where doe.
WINDY Pete" come in? But what's
the difference? The question is: care
the charges made by the Republican
really facts?" Who makes them is i'm
material. As matter of fact Sampson
Snyder has never had anything, directly
or indirectly to do. with anything that
has been published in the Republican
since P. L. circuit bought the plant
last December. We have gathered the
facts from scores of reliable citizens Of
the county, and much Of the informa-
ton comes from farmers. Much of the
matter, some startling in is rankness,
some criminal in it nature, all foul with
corruption, has not yet been printed.
This paper has SO far scratched only the
surface. And it is evidently because
OF their fear Of exposure that is making
the court house gang squirm so. The
action Of these fellows is enough to
create suspicion.
Who cares where the Republican
gets its information? Any man who
has the courage to expose the court
house gang is entitled to vote Of ap-
probation from the taxpayers of Clear
water county, whether it be Sampson
Snyder, Jones or Smith, and personal
abuse will not vindicate.

1t is said that A. H. Oversmith, an
attorney Of Troy, will be candidate
for state senator from Latah county in
the coming primaries, and that w. H.
Mason, of Deary, will also aspire for
the -honors. Both of these men were
IN the legislature last year, from Latah
county, and il one may Judge Of the
merits Of these two by what they
actually did, Mr.. Oversmith should win
in walk. Mason was one Of the most
Useless and apparently incompetent
members in the entire legislature,
while Oversmith proved one Of the
most able and was by odds one Of the
hardest workers. Mason, who is a
sort OF a ladies' man, seemed to treat
the sixty-day stay in Boise as pleas
ant vacation, and spent considerable
OF his time eating pop corn and pea
nuts in the corridors with various
young ladies who loafed around the
building much of the time. Mr.. Over
smith, as is we'll known fact, worked
day and night, and at the end of the
session won the esteem Of all the mem.
bers. Pete johnson, Of Bingham Co.,
one OF the brainiest and most capable
men in Bingham county, told the editor
OF the Republican that Oversmith was
one Of the best men in the legislature,
and had made good. And Pete John
son knows.

ldahoan. We really can't see why
Judge Ailshie should resign from the
judiciary to make campaign for U. S.
senator. Senator Brady won't resign;
Congressman French won't resign; and
Gonding has resources aside from pol
tics. And Judge Ailshie should stay
right where he is until his term ex-
pires.
but the people would not like to
have Judge Ailshie do this, even were
there no legal objection. The courts
ought to be as far as possible removed
from politics, and Judge Allshie has
wisely decided to resign from the
bench before he is legally a candidate
for senator. It is just what he should
do

NOT FIGHTING HONEST DEMO.
Gratis,

Somebody from Lewiston sent the
Boise Capital News, a column and q
half writeup recently, on what was
purported to be the political situation
in this section Of the state. 4 Referring
to Clearwater county, the article says:
''While Nez Perez county has been
busy trying to.find candidates for all Of
the offices open in this part Of the
state, Clearwater county politicians
have been busy watching the little bat
tie being waged against the present
county officials by Pete circuit. the
editor Of the Orofino Republican, Mr..
circuit made things hum in { Latah
county while on the staff Of the Star
Mirror and has ibeen doing the same
ever since he took charge Of the Orc
fino paper. His activities even led to a
fist fight with Blair Hoar, who is slated
for the office held by Receiver Barbour
in the Lewiston land office. Mr.. Or
cult AYERS that he is going to try and
turn out every democrat holding office
in the county"
The above is anything but true,
when it says, 'sOrcutt AYERS that he is
going to try to turn out every demo-
crat holding office in the county,"
We have never said anything Of the
kind, nor has the Clearwater Republic
can ever had any such intention. We
have said that we hoped to assist the
people in turning out every unworthy
officials, and il this hits all the demo-
Gratis all right. But it does not, SO far
as the Republican can see, mean that
Auditor Kaufman, democrat, will be
turned out. Nor any other democrat
that ought to stay. The purpose of
such statements is to force honest,
clean democrats like Auditor Kaufman
to align themselves with men like Pat
Blake, that gangsters and crooks and
grafters and booze fighters may re-
main in power. No honest, capable
democrat will have cause to complain Of |
The attitude Of the Clearwater Republi- |
can.
The gang want to use Joe Kaufman
and other clean democrats as ballast to |
keep the Blake gang ship of state from

Remember that Clearwater county is
the only county in the United States
that ever paid bridge company one
cent for plansl That piece of fine
business management was pulled off
by Patrick Blake and his board. In
New York the Tammany gang collected
its graft in this way, but Of course this
happens only in New York.

So far as Clearwater county tax pay
ers are concerned it should make no
difference even though the Clearwater

SOMEBODY is MISTAKEN.

One of the amusing features Of the
political situation relative to U. S. sena.
tor is the way some of the newspapers
view the republican fight for senator.
The Deary (Latah county, Enter
prise, looks at it this way:
From the tone OF the press Of north
Idaho and from the drift Of public SEN
timent, it is apparent that this part OF
the state stands for the nomination OF
Representative Burton L. French for
United States senator.

SPANISH STEAMER :.
8. N COLLISION WITH
CRUISER OEScARTES

New York, Oct. 24.--Ofiicers OF the
Spanish steamer Telesfora, which ar
rived here yesterday from Buenos
Ayres reported that the steamer was
in collision with the French cruiser
Descartes in the harbor OF Castries,
st. Lucia, on October 5. The cruiser
was badly injured, according to the
officers, and had to be taken to
Martinique for repairs.
The collision occurred as the Teles-
fora, was entering the harbor, her
officers said.
They did not see the Descartes un'
til the cruiser was dead ahead. The
steamers engines were Immediately
reversed and she let drop her anchor.
Her momentum, however, was too
great and she crashed at high speed
full into the warship. A boat was low
cred from the cruiser and two OF her
officers boarded the steamer. They
were very angry; the iTelesfora's cap.
tain feared they would beat him.
After long and bitter wransie the
officers went away and the Telesfora
was made to give q bond to make
good the cruisers repairs before she
was permitted to continue on her
trip to Boston and New York. Her
injuries were found to be insignifi'
cant. The Telesfora Is Of approxim.
ately 2700 tons.
