The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1918-10-24

N Taylor building, two rooms be-
ing occupied on the second
floor, fronting on Cedar street. The
rooms are provided with desks, type
writer's, telephone, and James II. Tay-
lor, the republican county chairman,
will welcome visiting republicans who
desire to make suggestions or confer
regarding the conduct of the cam
paign. The brief period that remains
before the election will be utilized to
the best advantage by the republic
can committee and candidates, and If
there is not complete republican
victory in Shoshone county, it will not
be because the republicans are not
putting up clean and aggressive
fight for their ticket. There will be
no brass bands, noisy rallies and elo-
quent spel-binders. These would
have been eliminated by the republi-
cans this year even If there had been
no order forbdding them by the
health department for such demon
strations would require money that
would serve a better purpose in sup
porting the war The republicans,
therefore, will depend for success up
on personal appeal to the voters and
the excellence of their ticket.
Congressional Ticket.
1t has been only a short time ago,
when the Underwood free trade bill
was being framed, that representa-
tives of the lead and zinc mining COM
panies of the Occur d'Alene district
were hurrying to Washington and ap-
pealing to a democratic congress to
save the industry upon which we de-
pend by imposing a protective tariff
vent the ruinous competition with the
poorly paid labor of Mexico Natur-
ally their appeal was ignored by the
party Of free trade, and the only
thing that saved the lead and zinc in
dustry from disaster was the Euro
pean war. But the evil days will
come after the war and the only sal
walton for the lead and zinc miner
will be a republican congress. A vote
for republican candidates for senator
and representative is therefore a di-
rect vote for the preservation of the
industry upon which depends tho
prosperity of the Coeur d'Alene dis
trict.
State Ticket.
The republican state ticket, from
the governor down the line, is the bull
wark that stands between Idaho and
the socialist gang of disloyallsts
which threatens to overrun the state.
The situation is one that appeals to
every thoughtful voter and calls upon
him to disregard party lines and vote
for the honor of the state. The demo-
cratic name under which is masked
the nonpartisan league should not de-
ceive any democrat who desires to
have his vote counted in support OF
the welfare Of the state. The can
one exception, are not democrats,
make no pretention to being demo-
Gratis and We're not nominated by the
democrats. No democrat is obligated
through party loyalty to support
them. On the contrary every impulse
OF good citizenship should draw re-
publicans and democrats together to
save the commonwealth from the dis
aster that would follow the success
of the nonpartisan league.
County Ticket.
The candidates for county offices on
the republican ticket will individually
and collectively stand the acid test.
They represent a high standard of
citizenship, which is a guarantee of
faithful performance of official dut-
les. They seek Office with the full
realization that it will be their duty
if elected to enforce the laws of the
state as they are written, not as they
would have them written. There will
be no discrimination in favor of cer-
tain sections Of the county in the
matter Of road Improvements, or in
which the taxpayers in all parts of
the county are equally concerned.
And there will be no large expendi-
ture of public funds without first OBJ
tanning definite expression from the
taxpayers in favor of the same. Each
individual republican candidate Is
pledged to an economical administra-
tion Of the office he seeks and in strict
Xyit hn nd
this showing the republican party ap-
peals with confidence to the people OF
Shoshone county.
