Beal & Co. for steel road culvert? Is
it "morbid insinuation?" Remember
that the Republicans asked no one to
take its word. This paper published
county records which have not been
denied. Does the Sentinel deny? If
not does the Sentinel desire to 90 on
record as endorsing the Blake gang?
5. Does the Sentinel deny the state
ments published in this paper relative
to the rediculously low assessment of
property owned by Jim and Pat Blake?
Does it endorse this tax lodgings
6. Will the Sentinel give the record
showing an acre, just one measley little
acre Of burnt-over land belonging to
the Potlatch Lumber Co. that was as
sessed at $14 an acre last year? If it
can't it will have to admit that the Re-
publican is right, and that the boosted
tim b er-eating, corporation-fighting,
honest court house ring did appar-
emily stand in with the biggest timber
company in Clearwater county, be-
cause. in order to bring the Potlatch
Company's assessment up to anything
like the N. P. railroad company, or to
Rupp and Holland, you must add in
hundreds of acres of worthless, burnt
over lands that were, in fact assessed
at about $50 an acre, but which the
court house ring insists were assessed
at $14 an acre.
Z. On the other hand the Republi-
can challenges the Sentinel to get down
to brass lacks and prove something.
The Tribune has worked the un-
supported denial proposition to the
limit. The editor of the Sentinel
knows better, and the Republican ex-
poets substantial proof from the broth
err out at Elk River. One baby in the
newspaper business in the county is
enough. The Tribune has that stunt
already covered. The Republican has
asked the people to take nothing for
granted. It has given proof for every
charge it has made, and the Sentinel
cannot dismiss this mass of evidence
with the statement that it is morbid
insinuation. The Sentinel knows
better. Funny that the Elk River
Sentinel never discovered that the
people were getting tired till the
Republican began printing that "booze
list"
On the other hand the people are not
getting tired. Never was there so
much interest manifest as at this time,
after the fight made by the Republican
has been going on for four and one
half months. The people are fairly
clamoring for more, and hundreds, yes
sir, hundreds of farmers have urged
the Republican to keep up the fight.
The only people who have shown any
indication of getting ''tired" are those
who are getting hit. For instance,
Frank Zelenka is SO tired he is quoted
as saying, II have had all the public
office want" Old Jim Blake, the
king of the ring, the fellow who stands
back of the scenes and pulls the
strings, is reported to have said, COM
ing up from Lewiston some weeks ago,
that ''the Republican has got to stop"
Pat Blake don't like it, and if you don t
believe it ask him. Elmer Torgerson
don't like it, and neither do the
wholesale whiskey dealers who have
been shipping in booze to Elk River
by the carload.
