WITH OUR COMPLIMENTS.

The saddest things of this campaign are the way @. C.
Hall and Samuel H. Laird annihilate Charles Evans
Hughes and William f. Borah. After listening to an adj
dress by Mr.. Hall the writer was thoroughly convinced
that Mr.. Hughes is not even a worthy citizen or else Mr.
Hall did not know what he was talking about. Certainly
Mr.. Halls statement of facts do not agree with what
every intelligent, well informed citizen of middle age be-
lleves to be true. If Mr.. Hall had spoken earlier the ma
tion-wide call for Nh. Hughes to lead one of the great par
Ties might not have been made. The stories of the New
York gas investigation and the Investigations of the great
life insurance companies have been preserved in book
form, and Mr.. Hall might well read them to refreshen his
memory concerning some points on which he is slightly in
error.
The address of Mr.. Laird is equally astounding. Sena-
tor Borah certainly does not know much about Mexico. and
1t must merely have been a matter of courtesy when the
president invited him to discuss the Mexican situation with
nm. Mexico is peaceful, her poems are patriots, and life
and property there is safe! After the first five minutes
OF his talk one wonders why Mr.. Laird left that land of
security at the first smell Of powder; at the end of ten min
utes, one regrets that the president didn't discover Mr..
Laird before he took up with John Lind; at the end of
fifteen minutes one marves that Mr.. Laird is not sent to
the border to restore peace and let the soldier bows come
home; after twenty-five minutes one wonders if he is ever
going to quit talking; at forty minutes hope dies; and at
the end of anywhere from fifty minutes to an hour and a
quarter he closes and the only thing he leaves his audi
ence is a firm and settled conviction as to whether he or
Borah is the greater man.

PUBLIC ENTITLED TO FACTS.
Know the Truth and II Shall Make You Free as True in
~, Politics as Anything Else.

All the public needs in order to arrive at a fair and just
conclusion on any proposition are the facts bearing upon
the issue. Where the facts are clouded, or where false
statements replace facts, the public reasons from an un-
certain or a wrong basis, wide differences of opinion will
result, and judgments will be rendered which are neither
Just nor for the public good.
Some people are always controlled by their p%rejudices
in public matters. The great majority, however, are fair
In spirit, and if they can obtain the facts in any given mat
ter will form a just conclusion and act accordingly. The
fight the Press has always had to make is to correct mis-
statements, to meet untruths, particularly with reference
to county affairs. The campaign in this county this year
rs cleaner than it has been since the county was created
but there are some things under the surface that no hon
est man will condone. These unworthy things are not
being done by the Democratic candidates., but they are not
being denounced by them. The only charge that can be
laid at the doors of such candidates are consent by silence,
and to such an extent as the public is Informed ON these
matters, the candidates remaining silent will suffer.
These candidates know what has been done, and when
and how 1t was done, and If consent by silence is to con-
tinue to be their purpose, the issue will be met. It will
not be met by silence, either, but by q statement of facts
and circumstances that will let the people know.
For the present the Press will consider only the public
campaign of the Democrats of this county, and directs
attention to the following paragraph OF the Democratic
county platform:
We condemn the lax extravagant and unbusi-
nesslike management of the affairs of Power
county during the past three years in that we
have raised $561 ,297.95 to defray the cost of
county and state government, yet we were forced
to issue bonds to cover up deficiencies caused by
the officers of Power county since the organlZa-
ton of the county. When our county was first
organized we had a bonded debt of $57,7l0, but
through the extravaganza of the administration
during the past three years, our bonded indebted
ness is 500, 1000 with a rebate of only $15,930 with
no improvements to show, except fixtures in a
rented building used as a court house and jail.
Please note the figures alleged to represent the amount
collected and expended for county and state purposes; al
so note the statement regarding an alleged increase of in
debtedness. In two joint public meetings between Re-
publicans and Democrtic candidates and speakers atten-
ton has been directed to these misstatements, but up to
this time no correction has been made. The statements
in the Democratic platform are so far from the truth as
70 DOlnt unerrlnglV to one of two conclusions. gross lgnO-I
rance upon the part of the one who gathered these figures,
or a wilful intent to deceive.

In other words, only $1.94 was expended where the

proof of this is on file in the office of the county recorder,
