County Commissioner Zelenka will
probably wait till the last week be-
fore election, when there is no time
to get at any statements he may make,
and attempt to fool the people. Make
him come out in the open now. Make
him explain his record.
Mr.. Zelenka is now posing as anti
Blake. What of it? Didn't he do
the same stunt just before the last
election? And after he was elected,
what? With one possible exception
tell us where Mr.. Zelenka has ever
cast vote or done a thing, as county
commissioner, opposed to Blake inter-
ests. Hasn't he delivered the goods,
even to helping Pat through with the
deal whereby Pat became assessor i?
Didn't he come through on the Nease
cruise when Pat cracked his whip and
ordered the board to get busy? Didn t
Mr.. Zelenka deliver the goods for the
Blakes in the matter of county print
ing? Didn't the Blakes control the
Orofino Tribune at the time?
Again, let us inquire: When has
Mr.. Zelenka. as county commissioner,
done one thing opposed to the interests
of the Blakes, barring one incident :?
The game is for the gang at this time
to cuss the Blakes, posing as their
enemies, because Frank Zelenka has
discovered that public sentiment will
not tolerate Blake domination any
longer. But are the people going to
swallow the same bait second time?
Isn't two years of Tammany system
and Zelenka enough? Can Zelenka
serve the Blakes for two years and ig-
more the lights and interests of the
taxpayers, and then, when the people
rebel, square himself and get re-elect-
ed and endorsed simply by bowling
aginst the Blakes for few days dur
ing the cambaign? If so the people
of Clearwater county deserve the skin
ming they have already received at the
hands of the gang, and will have no
complaint if the skinning process is
for two years.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-09-25
A PERTINENT FACT

The one man above all others that
the Blakes would defeat in the COM
ing county election is County Auditor
Kaufman. 1t has long been an open
secret that Jim and Pat Blake have no
use for this official. In other words
the gang has never been able to run
the Office of county auditor in Clear
water county, and that is an awful
crime in the eyes of these fellows.

Ship Sheep 10 Chicago

Vollmer Spokesman: The freight
train yesterday didn't go through un-
til IL: 80 last night having spent the
entire day yesterday at Grangeville
loading sheep. The train carried
twenty cars of sheep billed for Chica-
go. The sheep were shipped by C. j.
Hall, the we'll known Salmon river
sheep man, and were consigned to
Kemp Bros. of Chicago. This is the
first instance of direct shipment Of
sheep from a point on this line to the
Chicago market.

PASTE THIS IN YOUR HAT

Somebody has started report that
the editor of the Clearwater Republi-
can made the statement that the tim
Der companies in Clearwater county
are at the present time assessed toe
high. We never made such a state.
ment. We do not know whether tim
Der is assessed too high or too low.
We have never been into the timber
farther than Pierce, and then only on
the county road. Let us make our
position absolutely plain. Read this
carefully:
We will support for Office no candi-
date who will not stand for an honest
assessment of timber companies.
There is no reason why timber owners
should not pay their taxes just as the
citizen who invests money in print
ing Office or stock Of merchandise.
This is not saying that timber is
now assessed too high. We again say
that we never made the statement
that somebody has started. 1t is be-
ing told with the purpose of deceiving
the people. 1t is the gangs bait put
out to catch suckers at the general
election. If you hear it ask the au-
thor to make the statement in writing
and sign it. The same statement is
being made relative to Jack Harlan.
Such a report has been circulated all
over the county and it is lie. Mr..
Harlan says he never made such a
statement. Now why does somebody
start such report? To fool the peo-
pie. The gang can't handle this man
Harlan. The people who want to
skin the taxpayers of Clearwater coun-
ty don't want Jack Harlan. Beale &
Co. don't want Jack Harlan. No,
Mr.. Harlan will see that road culvert
is sold to the county in open COMPETE
tion just as is done in Latah county.
He will see that the people are not
skinned for the Clearwater Republi-
can or any other paper for county
printing. He will see that there is
no further graft in the matter of
bridge plans. He will see that tim
Der companies are honestly assessed,
and that tax money once collected is
honestly expended. Mr.. Harlan will
not even try to sell wood to the coun-
ty nor violate any law, and will COM
ply with the law himself in every
way. More than this Mr.. Harlan
will see that county funds are not
paid out unless officials and others file
itemized bills according to law.
Has Frank Zelenka done these
things? Has he as the business man.
ager of the county looked after the
county business in the way you, Mr..
Taxpayer, void expect your hired
man to look after your farm or your
store? Would you employ man as
manager of your farm who would pay
$12.5 for pigs that could be bought
from another party for 81 per pig?
Would you keep manager for your
private buinesss who would squander
your private funds? Why should you
not apply the same rule in the hiring
of men to look after county business?
If you do you will not vote for Zelen-
ka.

Never faltering at thy task;
What better pattern than you,
Could any Of us ask?
For in our life we sway,
From our footing, it may be fate;
But you are found every day,
Standing up so straight.

Thy blossoms ever show;
Sending out upon the world,
Thy color, a golden glow.
The Acres.
Across broad acres extended;
Colors of the fields blended;
When the day is nearly ended.
Colors of the fields rare;
Far, far, beyond compare;
Ger hills and wales everywhere.

The Brook.

Flowing through field and barrow
Thy waters speak of joy and naught

The same today, as on the morrow.

Winding through every corner and

On thy placid waters | love to look;
For sweet thoughts you bring to me
AS you flow in ecstacy.

Scattered here and there;
They blossoms to me unfold
Tales of a watchful care.
