Aid. Merriam led the fight for the
labOrers. Oscar De Priest, boss Of
the administration aldermen, sup
ported by CulleTton, Lawley and
Michaelson, fought the labOrers.
Merriam said that Thompson in
refusing to protect the IabOrers by
civil service had pursued the same
tactics as Jake Loeb, who jumped
into notoriety by firing efficient
school teachers.
Our criticism of the school board
won't sound very sincere" he said,
IF we refuse to protect our own en-
ployes from spoils politicians"
Thompson started another scrap
when he vetoed the 1885, 900 appTO-
priatiOn for an incineratOr and cleo
trio power plant at 95th st. This was
one of the items in the recent
100000 bond issue passed by the
people. Aid. Merriam, Richert and
Block, who favored the appropria-
ton, contended that in disobeying
the orders Of the people Of Chicago
the mayor was committing a serious
OHenSe; that he was placing himself
in the position of asking them to vote
for a bond issue by promising them
improvements which he did not in
tend to make. The discussion was
put over until this afternoon.
Thompson continued his wild veto
ing mood by placing the ban on the
order for theP urchase Of a municipal
garbage fleet. Those who were for
the fleet say the mayor opposed it be-
cause several Of his political pals now
have the contract for removing the
garbage.
Thompson also invited Fred Rob-
de, sec'y Of the Liquor Dealers assn,
to repeat before the civil service
comm under oath his recent starge
that 95 per cent Of Chicago saloons
were violating the Sunday closing
law,

The NeaSe Suit A Bitter Pill.

The Nease case required vast
amount of labor in gathering evil
dence. Records had to be searched.
Clues had to be run down and con-
verted into evidence that would stand
in court. To Attorney John r. Beck
er of Orofino was entrusted this work
by Attorney Fred E. Butler of
Lewiston, who was employed by
Clearwater county on the advice
of County Attorney Smith. The
work was too we'll done to please a
lot of people whose only kick is that
Clearwater county won. 1t is too
bad to put the Blake gang and their
political tools in the hole, and some
body ought to sweat for it. 1t is
also shame to make monkeys out of
the "I-toldyou-so" fellows who
knew Clearwater county would lose
this suit. The people should have
reelected Holsclaw, then calamity
like the Nease suit victory would
never have overwhelmed the people
of county who had been robbed and
stripped of their substance by the
most incompetent bunch of political
rummies who ever infested a civilized
cOmmunitY

Clearwater County Democrats Put No Ticket Up.

The Clearwater Republican voices
the sentiment of great many dem
ocrats when we say there is no dem
ocratic county ticket in the field at
this time. jim Blake has ticket
which he has labeled democratic, g"
but is it democratic? We deny it.
The best democrats in the county, as
a matter of fact, Indignantly and
emphatically refused to have anything
to do with Jim Blake democracy,
and let the Blake gang have their
way. We know that the Joe kautf-
man democrats refused to follow
Elder Blake leadership, and when APP
preached and urged to unite and file,
tiatly refused This is why the Re-
publican says there is no democratic

county ticket in the field. To this
we desire to make two exceptions.
We would except Ivan Cunningham,
filed by A. Z. Holmberg for represen-
tative, and Miss LeBaron, filed for
county superintendent. Ivan Gun
ningham is a clean. honest, con
scientious young man. respected BY
all who know him, and would not
knowingly do a wrong for any set of
men. In the case of Miss LeBaron
the Republican knows that this young
lady has the confidence of her neigh
bors, republicans and democrats, and
was prompted by no Interior motives
when she filed. We are quite sure
Miss LeBaron would not betray the
citizens of her county for jim Blake

WARMING!

Every republican in the county
must take time to go to the polls
September 5, Primary Election day,
and vote. This is important. A
rumor is in circulation that the
Blake gang may attempt to put some
thing over by voting a republican
ticket at the primary. No contests
on the democratic county ticket leave
the gang free to vote a republican
primary ticket. Let republicans take
warning. Rem ember what happened
to the democratic party in Clearwater
county when jim Blake, because the
decent democrats were asleep, slipped
something over. If republicans stay
at home at the coming primary, 9
few Blake democrats with a few
Blake republicans. could nominate a
republican county ticket. Republi-
cars in every precinct in the county
must heed this warning. Go to the
polls, and see that your neighbors go.
This is important

c. Q. Metsger. representating the

of that company. The Republican is

rig for the country printers.

or any other political ringster. 1t is
unfortunate so estimable young lady
is associated with such discreditable
company. Young men and young
women who get into bad company
have our sympathy. They might
plead ignorance and lack of expert
ence. but the Republican has little
sympathy and no apologies to offer
for matured men who will allow
themselves to be used as catspaws TO
pull political chestnuts out of the fire
for jim Blake and his gang. When
the decent democrats of this county
could not stomach Blake leadership,
and baked, it was no time for derl-
ocrats who claim to be men to Join in
movement calculated to enhance
jim Blake's political fortunes.

Birds o! a Feather,

Jim Blake, E. H. Hilton and |.
r. Crow held democratic conference
at the Orofino Tribune office last even
ing. This is the kind of leadership
now running the democratic party in
Clearwater county. And it is the
kind of business management the peo-
pie will get if the republican NOMINEES
are defeated this fall. If the people
want another siege of Tammany bus
mess methods they can get it by put
ting the Blake gang back in control
in this county. If the people want
more Nease deals all they need do is
go to sleep and let Jim Blake
county ticket win out. The gang
will do the rest. If the people want
another $l26, 900 debt to pay off they
can get that too. Just get in and
turn Clearwater county over to the
Blakes again. Put the friends of i'm
Blake back into power and the people
will get more of the same dose BY
their fruits ye shall know them.

The Clearwater Republican has
demonstrated it reliability This
paper has earned tn, respect of the
people of this county. We have
made good every charge made. The
Blake gang organ has deceived the
people and has not been reliable
Keep these facts in mind We told
the truth about county funds drawing
no interest under gang rule: we told
the truth when we warned the people
that the Nease cruise deal was but
another gold brick the Blake gang
was selling the people; we told the
truth when we said the county was in
debt The Orofino Tribune lied tn
the people about these things. The
Orofino Tribune said the Clearwater
Republican was timber interest
paper. 1t lied. We said the Tri-
bune was tool of Slippery Jim

Let Farmers Watch Out.

Democrats were highly indignant
when this newspaper pointed out some
of the weaknesses of the Federal
Farm Loan Act" and advised careful
scrutiny by farmers OF any and all
wildcat bank schemes. even though
they were introduced and vouched for
by the SON in law OF the President.
Some of our friends il the Democratic
ranks accused US OF partisan prejudice.
Our warning that a well-intentioned
law might be used as a cover for
swindlers, was timely, as now proved
by the fact that the extent of the evil
has compelled the Federal Farm Loan
Board to issue from Washington a
similar warning. Stock is being sold
to farmers which. amounts to little
more than gold bricks. 1t is being sold
in farm banks when AND if organized"
and the board says that the IFS" will
in most instances probably turn to
won't bes."
The Othef SCneIls- " "HiCi dtteI-
ton was called has not Yet been
touched upon by the board. 1t is a
scheme whereby promoters sell stock
to farmers in banks which have been
approved by the Board, but sell it at
twice it's par value with a guarantee
that the excess over par less the cost
of ORGANIZATION" will constitute the
hanks surplus. OF course. this gives
the promoters opportunity to appro-
pirate to themselves, as "cost of or
ganization" a sum equal to the total
capital of the bank.

Keep to Smoother Way
(Rafh Tin1eSl

Governor Curtis was probably so veXed
over certain acts of, or failures to act by
the State Roads Commission, that on the
impulse of anger and either with lsnor-
ance or lack of reflection, he wanted the
three commissioners bounced and the
commission itself abolished. Since he has
learned that the adjustment of the State
Roads Board would cut Maine out from
hope of receiving the 100000 of Federal
aid which the State is entitled to receive
under the Bankhead-Shacklefor bill and
eventually the loss of old and failure to
build new roads, Governor Curtis prob
ably has revised his views. Whether he
has or has not, the Republican majority
in the next Legislature will retain the
commission and If need be straightep It
out into better working order. GOOD
roads are a necessity for this vacation
State and are appreciated by our farm
ers and our people Perhaps more than
s25 OpO 600 was left behind the dust OF out
of the State touring cars this summer.
More than 10000 cars have passed over
the lower Kennebec alone. More cars
with more tourists leaving more cash
behind will come probably next year.
With a good road between Lewiston and
Bath more of these tourists will come to
the Shipping City, especially if this city
builds a suitable hotel as is expected that
Bath will No, Governor, let US keep
right along in the smoother way and not
return to the old "ruts."

Two Forms of Protection.

Among the men who are heralded as
supporting Wilson and his policies are
Edison and Ford. They both favor an
economic policy which places the
American producer on even terms with
the producers of Europe and Asia
They do not believe in tariff law that
protects the American producer. But
if they are opposed to a tariff law that
protects. why not be opposed to a
patent law that protects? Edison and
Ford are both great beneficiaries of
patent laws which were enacted and
are maintained for the purpose of pro-
tecting industries which have been
founded by inventors or the financial
hackers of inventors. If they want
tariff laws repealed in order to reduce
the cost of living. why not repeal few
patent laws, which would send the
prices Of many commodities down with
a rapidity that would be appalling to
the present benefciaries of that sort of
protection. Republicans do not advo-
cate repeal of either patent laws. or
protective tariff laws. They believe in
any legislation that is constructive in
its effect But let Ford and Edison be
consistent
