County Roads and Wages.

The Republican party of Clearwater
county has nothing to apologize for
in the matter of road wages. The
responsibility for reduced wages rests
with the Orofino Tribune and its
friends, whose extravaganza, reckless
waste of county funds, and poor busi-
ness methods brought the county to
the verge of financial BANKRUPTCY.
A republican county board, facing
condition brought on by democratic
misrule, was compelled to economize
on every hand. The wages of all
county help was cut proportionately
as great as were road wages. County
printing has been done for two years
at much greater reduction than was
made in road wages. The Clear
water Republican las been content to
stand more than its share of the
forced eco omy and necessary reduc.
tion in the cost of running the county
to the end that the debts piled up by
the Orofino Tribune crowd might be
paid.
When the Republicans took charge
of Clearwater courty January IL,
1915, what were our road warrants
worth? They were no longer worth
face value. The banks had refused
to take them al any price. This was
not a theory. was a fact and the
only thing on earth that saved the
workingman who labors on the road
was republican efficiency and let u5-
lcan economy and republican busi-
ness administration. Instead of re-
ducing the wages of the men working
on our roads the republicans have
really saved the day for those who
have worked for the county.
Having paid off the democratic
debt, the republican party now
promises to place road wages where
they were. The Republican platform
says:

How can one argue with a numb

How can one argue with numb
skull? How are you going to con-
vince fool? The Orofino Tribune
comes along and says, mind you,
asserts without proof, without evil
dence; simply asserts that Assessor
Hinckley has reduced timber valua-
tions approximately $4,000, 900. Sup
pose we assert that |. R. Crow is a
theft. Will you begin calling Mr..
Grow thief, and charge that he is a
thief, unless he can prove that the
isn't guilty? Why don't the Orofino
Tribune get down to business and
publish some records; why not give
some specific, accurate date warrant
ing its charges? So far the Tribune
has contented itself with absurd as.
sertions. Nothing else. 1t would
seem that an individual with half
sense could see thru the Orofino
Tribu1e's game. The Republican
will answer when there is ANYTHING
to anwser.
Demcratic waste of county funds,
democratic graft, democ ,atic ex-
travagance in county business, Tam
many methods in Clearwater county,
reduced road wages in 1915. The
Orofino Tribune crowd bankrupt Clear
water county. Road warrants were
OF no value when the republican, p9rty
stepped in and saved the day for the
people.
Mr.. Republican Voter: You can
have the Republican mailed to ten of
your neigbbors during the campaign
for 81. If you want the facts put in
the hands of the people help do it.
We are not financially able to do It
alone. But don't wait. Do it to-
day.
What were the Clearwater county
road warrants worth two years ago?
Ask the banks. Why did the banks
refuse to take Clearwater county road
war;, nts at any price? Ask the
banks. Who put our road warrants
back to par? The republican party.
Every farmer in Clearwater county
should take time to find out about the
million Dollar Mystery" Ask the
democratic county candidates about it.
If they don't know demand that
they look it up. Jim Blake can ex-
plain it.

The following under the above
head, comes from the headquarters
of che Idaho Anti-Saloon League at
Boise:
The primary election was not very
exciting as it was Just little bit
hard to get the same old gang that
always fought to fight this year.
Then again, there was a shortage of
booze so that it was very difficult to
stir up excitement on the wet and dry
question This was ore election
when the drys We're more active than
the vets. In most all the counties
dry men were nominated for the state
Legislature and in every case dry men
were nominated on the state ticket.
D. w. Davis of American Falls re-
ceived the nomination. for Governor
on the Republican ticket with a good
strong majority. This was con-
sidered by the drys direct victor as
there was sufficient evidence to lead
them to believe that combination of
forces was working together for the
purpose of getting man in the Gov
ernor's chair who would be more lem
lent with the vets, but with Mr..
Davis the drys feel perfectly safe as
there is no man in Idaho who has
cleaner record than Mr.. Davis.
d. W. Davis has clean Record.
He is not only temperance man in
principle but he is man with a very
strong interest in every branch of
society. He is successful business
man and will throughly understand
the handling of the reins of govern
ment so that no corporation or COM
bine can in any way defraud the state.
Mr.. Davis is also intere ted in farm
ing and stock raising ard his varied
experience in the early development

Believing that the emerg-
ency under which the present
board was constrained to re-
duce wages on road work has
passed, we favor the restora-
ton of the former scale. We
condemn the use of road
funds for the purpose of ac-
quiring and holding political
patronage.

DAVENPORT PAPERS ADMIT
C[ABBYS OUTPLAYED D. A. G,

The last two minutes Of play were
, the most exciting of the game in spite
of the spectacular work of the men
throughout the game With only two
minutes to play and the ball on Dav-
exports three yard line on the third
down. the Davenport line suddenly
stiffened and withstood two heart
breaking smashes by the Clabby back
field to secure the ball on their own
one yard line. Here Jones displayed
his football brain by receiving the di-
rect pass from Hauser and instantly
falling on the oval behind the Daven-
port line for safety. giving Ham
mond two points. but bringing the ball
back into play in Davenport's possess
sion on their own 90 yard line with
only 5 seconds to play. Before Cap
tain VOTERS could kick out OF danger
time was called.
Holmes work was sensational
throughout the game. the climax to
his play being the wonderful run from
the Davenport eight yard line, where
he recovered the ball on Hammond's
tumble and took 1t to within two feet
of the Hammond goal line. Although
staggering and slipping in the last few
yards desperate dive brought the
oval to where Kuehl. by two quarter
back smashes took it over for the
final touchdown.
"Kuehrs exhibition of distancing the
entire Hammond squad was also spec
tacular. and resulted in the first Dav-
EXPORT touchdown in the second quar-
ter. An intercepted pass By Jones
gave Davenport the ball on Ham
mond's AZ yard line and KuehI on the
first play started around the right end.
