The Democratic idea apparent
ly is to keep reiterating thing
in the hope that the people will
finally come to believe it. Thus,
in 1912, their platform declared
that it's promises were made to
be kept when in office; and in
that same year Mr.. Wilson said
that his party promises were not
molasses to catch flies. This
year he returns to the same text
and in his speech of acceptance
he says that the people do not
need to be assured that the dem
ocratic platform is definite
pledge and a practical program.
With conscious or unconscious
irony he adds: 1--WE have prov
ed to them that our promises are
made to be kept. This, COM
ing from man who was accept
ing a second nomination when
his earlier platform pledged him
to the principle Of a single term,
is rich.

the lowest bidder on any one of
the six bridges, when they bid a
lump sum for all? What basis
did the supervisors work on?
Did the county engineer recon-
mend the acceptance of the bid
of the Omaha concern? If not,
why was he not consulted? If
our memory serves US correctly
all the bids were referred to the
county engineers office for ex-
pert examination and report. Did
Mr.. Perkins recommend the ac-
ceptance of the Omaha bid? We
failed to find his report in the
proceedings. If he didn't rec
ommend the Omaha bid, but ia
vored other bids as more accept
able, why was the engineers re-
port ignored, and where did the
supervisors get an expert opin-
ion that Perkins was wrong? 1t
is not to be inquisitive, but for
enlightenment, that we inquire if
the supervisors acted on the ex-
pert opinion of the representa-
tive of the Omaha Structural
Steel Co. that the bid of the
Omaha Structural Steel Co. was
the best. If SO, it is apparent to
the most casual observer they
took wise counsel that would be
approved by any cautious busi-
ness man. But what is the use
of paying Perkins a salary for
acting as county engineer?

A newspaper in this county is
being paid 25c an inch double
column because the law requires
it) for publishing the supervisors
proceedings for the information
of the taxpayers. And in every
such publication an item appears
about as follows: Assigned De-
mands Merchant and Stockgrow-
ers' Bank, $541.32," or other
figures. Old Assigned Demands
seems to be drawing considera-
BILE of the taxpayers money
without letting the people know
what they are getting as value
received. How are the people
to know that these assigned de-
mands are not for the purpose of
buying Jess Crosby's library on
the installment plan?

We have it in mind to go into
the matter cf the contract for
the Little Colorado bridge, but
are constrained to wait until the
report of the government engi-
neer is passed on in Washinton.
In the meantime it might be in
teresting reading if the supervi-
sors would write out fully their
reasons for awarding the con-
tract for six bridges in a lump
sum to one firm, instead of let
ting the contract for each bridge
separately. Especially so in view
of the fact that numerous indi-
vldual bids were submitted by
different contractors on the sew
eral bridges. The Winslow Mail
would not impugn the honesty of
the supervisors, but it does ques-
ton their business acumen in
the manner in which this matter
has been handled. How do they
arrive at the conclusion that the
Omaha Structural Steel Co. is

The only thing necessary to
carry Arizona for the whole re-
publican ticket is for every re-
publican to constitute himself or
herself committee of one to see
that their individual vote is cast
election day. For some reason
or other the democratic legisla-
lures in this state never passed
any law making it a crime to
vote the republican ticket, SO we
should all exercise the privilege

The man who is continually
shouting from the housetops that
