SAVED THE
COUNTY NOTHING

Published broadcast over the coun,
ty in last weeks issue of the county
papers and by hand bills, was a state
ment purporting to compare the rec
ord made by Mclaughlin as Prose
cutting Attorney of Elmore county
with the record made by w. L. Har-
vey The figures for the showing
We're furnished by Mr.. F. G. Smith,
present Democratic candidate for
Probate Judge, who Vouches for their
accuracy. These figures compare an
average of the county expenses for
Jurors and Witness Fees in both
civil and criminal cases during Har-
Us four year term with the year
1915 Of McLaughlin's term; claiming
a saving of $127S.75.

but liars viii figure" seems to be ap-
phcable. The fees paid Jurors in
CIVIL cases are a large item, but have
NO application to the record of a Prose-
cutting Attorney; might as well

nothing to do with it; that there
were many long civil jury trials in

guarantees the figures and McLaugh-

Smith and McLaughlin, Jurors and
Witnesses fees in all criminal cases
Justice fees, criminal cases, Prose
cutting Attorneys salary, assistance

troiled and allowed by Prosecuting AT
torney and including the first two
months of 1915 making II months in
all w. L. Harvey is charged with
S34O4.SS in the publ shed report,
Considering the same items, Daniel
Mclaughlin must be charged during
the last TEN months Of 1916, in the
same way, with all expense of $1,000 40.
And in the first nine months of the
year 1916, taking the same items, Mr..
Mclaughlin has caused the county Of
Gilmore to eXpend the sum OF $6lI012!
Now, what and where are the "PROE-
ABILITIES" spoken of in the afore-
said article?
Perhaps Mclaughlin partisans may
be inclined 10 question the correct
ness of these figures. and for their
benefit we produce the staten mt as
shown by the county records Salary

ORS) 1922 20; Tax Abstracts $l472.6O
This makes up the sum Of $6ll012.
Concerning the exceptionally small
expenditures and the careful and ef-
ficient management claimed by the
article, it is the duty of each voter
to consider and inform himself be-
fore election.
Great credit IS claimed for the
County Attorney for probably earn
ing $4,000 fees for the county;

Expect Friendly Reply From carranza.

Washington.-The state department
has been officially advised that it
might expect Don a new note from
General Carranza regarding the border
situation. Indications are that it will
be Of a friendly character and 1t is
thought possible General Carranza may
propose the farming of a definite IN.
written agreement reached by the mill.
tary conference at Ell Paso between
Generals Scott Funston and Obregon.
Should this forecast be borne out, the
delicate situation created by General
Carranza's request for withdrawal Of
