10 CENT "CASCARETS"
IF BILIOUS OR COSTIVE
For Sick Headache, Sour Stomach,
Sluggish Liver and BoweIs-They
work while you sleep.

Furred Tongue, Bad Taste, Indiges-
ton, Sallow Skin and Miserable Head
aches come from a torpid liver and
clogged bowels, which cause your
stomach to become filled with undi-
gested food, which sours and ferments
like garbage in swill barrel. That's
the first step to untold misery-indi-
gestion, foul gases, bad breath, yellow
skin, mental fears, everything that is
horrible and nauseating. A Cascaret
tonight will give your constipated
bowels a thorough cleansing and
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist will keep you feel
ing good for months

that time in the Senate, and he worked

Some Of the collectors did not even col
lect enough fees to cover all expenses,
and I had to pay one of them out of
my own pocket in order that he may be
even on the job, hence any minded
person can easily see that the did not
all get rich from collecting taxes.
That a few taxpayers may have
been mistreated by some of these COL
lectors may be true, and yet feel 1
was not to blame except for not be-
ing a mind reader. If / only could
have had the sixth sense so far devel-
oped as to be able to read every mans
mind and seen through his heart, then
all my deputies l was forced to appoint
for the extensive work on my hands
at that time would have been good and
honest men. I did my very best in
selecting honest men and believe, on
the whole, was successful.
Only one man directly interested
has ever complained to me about these
tax collectors. But my opponents for
the sheriff's Office have in every cam
paign shown themselves to be very
tender hearted towards their fellow
men and have shed crocodile tears ov-
er those poor people which they claim
I have robbed"
My opponent further suggests that
if my enemies in former campaigns
had not told the truth, ! could have
started criminal action and civil suits
against them. Yes, that is true; you
can arrest a man any time you want
to and sue him any time you want to-,
which seems to be common practice
here in Word county. But with all the
law suits I have had, my experience
has taught me that it is cheapest to
stay out Of court, even though you are
in the right; and as far as honor or
personal vindication is concerned, did
not need the verdict Of twelve jurymen
after the campaign in question when
majority Of nearly 5000 Of the voters
of Ward county handed down the YER
dict in my favor on election day and
said was right and that my oppon-
ents were wrong.
Coming back to these false charges
printed in the Minot Daily Reporter,
as now referred to in the advertise
ment Of my opponent / wish to call the
readers attention to the fact that
when the Reporter learned that these
charges were false, the editor made
a manly retraction, in which he says
in part:
John LEE WAS RIGHT.
"In an issue Of the Reporter
preceding the November election
the Reporter referred editorially
to the charges made by A. v.
Swanson against John ]. Lee.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1914-06-04

The Reporter feels that Mr.. Lee
has been unjustly charged, and
in as much as the charges were
made through the columns Of this
newspaper, We believe that in sim
pie justice to Mr.. Lee the facts
should be known, and this state
ment is made accordingly. We are
glad that Mr.. Lee is able to clear
himself, and we are not going to
mince matters and try to get away
from the facts. We were wrong
and are willing to admit it"
While the editor of the Reporter at
that time did not always support me
for office, he was big enough to re-
tract and admit that the matter had
been misrepresented to him, he gave
nearly one-fourth of the editorial page
Of his paper to correct the wrong
against me.
In his last cad" in the Independent
I notice my opponent also admits, in
directly, that he is wrong, because he
says he expects that his assertions
will be contradicted, which in itself is
an admission of weakness or circum-.
stantial evidence that he is not tell
ing the truth. Let us see now, if Mr..
Shaw has the manhood to retract! My
opponents have used about the same
arguments and the same tactics in,
several campaigns, but have never yet
made the lies stick, never yet been
able to fool the people, so I hardly
believe they will be, able to fool them
this time either.
It is rather amusing, though, that
my opponent should be dissatisfied
with the Sheriffs Salary Bill, when he
claims that it will give the sheriff a
larger salary than under the old law.
Just think Of it, that Mr.. Shaw should
object to the Office he seeks carrying
too large salary! Or does my OPP
ponent feel that he can not be nomi-
mated and elected and have the ben
eft of this so-called large income /?
For the benefit of the taxpayers I will
say that the sheriff now gets salary
in proportion to the population of each
county and all his help paid for, also
livery and 10 cents per mile for his
expenses. This saves the bother. OF
having expense bills allowed, and all
the fees 60 to the county. The sher-
ifs Office in Ward county is worth
$2700.O0 per year, according to the
present population. Anybody who has
been sheriff or has had any experience
in travelling will know that man can
not make much money on 10c per mile;
he will do well II he can play even.
The SherifFs Salary Bill, which was
passed during my term in the Legis.
Ilature, is in my opinion q good and

JOHN ]. LEE CONTRADICTS
STATEMENTS

Editor Independent:
Being that my opponent still insists
that ! was not entitled to any sherjtf's
fees under the contract with the coun-
ty for collection of the old taxes, l
shall quote again that part of the con-
tract. which knocks the lie in the head,
as follows: ),
1T is further mutually agreed
between the parties hereto that as
compensation for the collection of
such taxes, the said John ]. Lee,
as sheriff, as aforesaid, shall re-
ceiye so per cent of the gross
amount collected upon such per-
sonal property tax and personal
property tax judgments and that
no other, or further, c0mpensa-
ton, by way of mileage or other
n wise, shall be allowed than the
said so per cent of the amount
collected, EXCEPT L E G AL
SHERIFF'S FEES collected from
said tax payer" -,
This contract can be seen in the
Ward County Auditors office, and II
anyone is in doubt as to the correct
ness Of the foregoing quotation, 60 to
the auditors office and read the con-
tract yourself.
ponent claims that on April 10th, 1908,
the Minot Daily Reporter published q
communication from tax payer
charging me with having collected
S49.40 from three tax payers and that
only $28.88 was turned over to the
treasurer, the balance Of $2O.52, ne
saws, put in my own pocket. Thls
"a another untruth, as the following
explanation will show: In the first
Mace / did not collect these taxes my
self and never saw the money, say.
inc nothing about having pocketed
any Of it, never even saw the receipts.
All I knew about it at the time was
what l read in the Reporter and signed
bv 9 man (?) who was sore at me
because / had to arrest him and put
him in Jail for his wrong doings. AND
regarding the $2O.52 which was sup
posed to have been collected as sheriff's
Fees from these three taxpayers BY
one Of these deputies, and which they
should have turned over to the county,
will say: The deputies who were n !,
the country collecting taxes would
make the returns to the deputies tax,
inp care Of that work in the office, and
thew would, in turn, make report to the
tressurer 1T the end Of each month.
The tax money belonging to the county
was turned in and receipted for BY the
treasurer, but not the fees, and they
did not 60 into my pocket, eitner.
