THE POLITICAL NEWS
CONTINUED from page one)

The total registration is missing
from seven counties, 80 counties hav-
ing reported total of 365,753 voters
registered. The estimated registra-
ton from these seven missing coun-
ties is placed at about $4,000, making
the states total registration in adj
vance of the primaries about 10000.
Admittedly, some persons called for
republican ballots who will vote
democratic in November. Democrats
have habit of voting in the re-
publican primaries in this state. In
1916, there were about $4,000 demo-
cratic voters in the primaries and
$4,000 republican voters, yet the
democrats carried the state for pres
ident and governor.
Also, this year, many radicals, non
partisan leaguers and triple alliance
members, voted the republican ticket
in the primaries, who will not vote
it in November, but will support the
farmer-labor, and, in some cases, the
democratic candidates.
If the republicans can hold 10 per
cent of those who voted for them,
leaders figure, they may count them
selves fortunate. That means de-
pendable republican primary strength
of $4,000 votes.
If the weather is perfect, it is con-
fdently expected that over 100000
votes will be cast over the state No
vember 2. The registration has been
augmented by perhaps $4,000 votes,
all over the state, since the primaries,
and 100000 voters are 81 per cent
of total state registration of AGO.
900, about as much as may be hoped
for under the best weather conditions.

A LETTER TO VOTERS

To the voters of Stevens county:
Stickers will be provided for the ell
ection next Tuesday giving the names
of certain candidates. This has been
made necessary by the crooked po-
litical practice in the September pri-
maries on the part of some who fear
that their questionable management
of the government of the county and
state will, not endure the heat of an
honest political campaign and free
election.
Permit me to review some Of their
practices, with which you are already
familiar: In their challenged" they
talk about anarchists, bolshevists,
socialists, and the "red rag of Russian
soviet" and rave on about the ruin
that faces the state under nonparti-
san control, and the disruption of the
country in general and the republic
can party in particular. The whole
article is too ridiculous and laugh
able to merit an answer were it not
for the fact that the signers are men
who are generally given credit for
having better sense. 1t is sufficient
answer to merely state that they
have not touched upon or in any
way referred to the principles laid
down by the nonpartisan league and
lived up to in every act of their po-
litical lives at is to laugh"
1t has been repeatedly stated that
the candidates recommended by the
nonpartisans were not republicans.
l find it impossible to believe the
authors of the statement were ig-
norant of its falsity at the time they
made it. The Ananias club is still
open for new members, and it looks
to me as if they had furnished their
own passport.
The intimidation of voters at the
primaries is an act which deserves
a severe rebuke at the polls next
Tuesday, if free elections in the fu-
ture are to be anything but a by
word and a joke. I state it as a
fundamental principle of free govern
ment that no clean administration
or honest political party can survive
as such and win by rotten politics.
They call attention to the fact that
certain Objectionable books are found
in the libraries of North Dakota.
They were placed there before the
nonpartisans got control of the gov
eminent. Why don't these self
righteous critics clean up the Spo-
kane City library? There are more
than twice as many of these same
books there, and the nonpartisans
not yet in office. They are open to
general circulation too, while in North
Dakota they are not.
Voters, think this over. Do you
want clean government? Consult
your consciences, and remember the
sticker candidates next Tuesday
Very truly yours, Geo. L. Denman.

Mrs. L. G. Curry, Representative
An interesting meeting of the
patriotic club was held Sunday at
which time plans were made for
road work on the new bit of road
known as the marine drive, which
connects Nez Perez with Inchelium
without any bad hills and commands
as beautiful scenery as can be found
in Washington. i
The merchants of Inchelium have
contributed money and dynamite
while citizens of Covada and Nez
Perez have given work. 1t is hoped
that the road may be completed be-
fore the beginning of bad weather. -
The Patriotic club held an election
which resulted in the election of Mrs.
Jas. Parry for president, C. r. Proc
tor vice president, and Mrs. Proctor
treasurer. Mr.. Hess, the new teach
er, was appointed chairman OF the
program committee for next meet
ing. Mr.. Rennie was chosen chair
man of the roads committee and Mr..
Messenger chairman of the postoffice
or mail service committee. Coyada
was unfortunate enough to lose her
postoffice the LIST of October upon the
departure of her former postmaster
Mr.. Nickens. A petition is now
being circulated asking that L. H.

During the eighteen months the
republicans controlled the senate and
house, they failed to make adequate
appropriations to take care of the
agricultural interests of the country.
In the last congress, with the repub-
licans controlling the committees on
agriculture. in house. and senate, they
reduced the appropriations request
ed by democratic department of
agriculture over seven million dol
lars, and reduced the appropriations
provided for by a democratic con-
gress approximately two million and
half dollars. They cut out and re-
duced appropriations that were ne
cessary to- preserve the livestock in
terests of the country. They refused
to provide adequate appropriations
to encourage and aid the American
farmer in the production, conserya-
ton and sale of his crops.
Senator Harding was one of these
conspirators in the senate against the
I American farmer, and while we of
the democratic party. receiving the
hearty cooperation of a democratic
administration were making the fight
for weeks in the American congress
to prevent the present conditions
against which the American farmer
and stockman are now striving, Sem
ator Harding and his reactionary re-
publican friends in the senate and
the house were challenging our every
statement and obstrueting our every
effort.--Senator Pat Harrison.

A. B. Campbell of Marcus, demo-
cratic, nominee for assessor, stands
high in the estimation of his many
friends and acquaintance through
out the county.
He is man of sterling principles,
upright and honest in all his deal
ings with his fellowmen, and one who
believes in a square deal for every
one without fear or favor. Mr..
Campbell is a Scotchman by birth, a
citizen of the U. S. and resident of
this state for the past "a years, the
last IL of which he lived with his
family at Marcus. Mr.. Campbell is
a graduate of an eastern business
college, and has had many years ex-
perience in mercantile, clerical and
banking business in this state. His
wide experience in land, timber and
building valuations peculiarly fits
him for the position he seeks, and if
elected he will discharge the duties Of
his office in a thoroughly efficient,
economical and businesslike manner
to the satisfaction of all concerned.

Frank Hardesty, the candidate for
county clerk on the democratic ticket,
has become very we'll known in the
Colville country during his II years
residence here, but he has never be-
fore been known as a seeker of votes.
His experience in clerical work has
covered a wide range of subjects,
commencing in the oil fields of the
east where he was associated with
business in many capacities, mostly
as foreman and bookkeeper. In Spo-
kane for a year and half he was
assistant superintendent of the par
entail school. His only work for
Stevens county was some years ago
when he assisted Auditor A. B. Sans

burn in the auditors office for few
weeks, in the work of auditing. For
a number of years he has been with
the Leader Department Store, where
his knowledge, courtesy and ability
have made him most valuable en-
ploye. For a number of years he
has been an active member of the
Christian church. He has wife and
an 8-year-old son.

VOTE FOR OPPENHEIMER
FOR COMMISSIONER

E. Oppenheimer, democratic can
didate for county commissioner for
the third district, has resided in Ste
vens county for twenty-five years, is
a successful business man and is
now engaged in the marketing of
livestock. CIV
Mr.. Oppenheimer is an advocate of
good roads and favors progressive
system of public highways substan-
TALLY built and economically main
tanned. If elected he promises to
use his best efforts to secure the
early completion of the Springdale-
Hunters highway and also the Addy-
Clifford road. That the Inland En-
pire highway and Columbia River
Highway may be connected to Can
ada, he will endeavor to secure an
appropriation for wagon bridge
across the Columbia river.
Mr.. Oppenheimer is opposed to ex-
cessive taxation and especially in
these days of high taxation believes
in rigid economy in all public affairs.
He is opposed to the Carlyon road
bill but favors the soldiers bonus
measure.
Full value received for every dol
lar of the taxpayers money spent,
is included in the platform of Mr..
Oppenheimer. VOTE FOR HIM.
Stating that an additional tax of
more than $3OO,OO0,OOO per annum
would be the burden imposed upon
the American people, if in the event
of his election Senator Harding
carries out his announced policy in
regard to the refunding of Liberty
bonds, Edmund Hubert, president of
the Merchants Loan and Trust Com
pany, has issued public statement
in which he says
Apparently the only s. specific
promise Senator Harding has felt at
liberty to make on his own respon-
sibility is that if elected, he will en-
deavor to have these bonds refunded
at higher rate of interest SO that
they will sell at par.
"This would saddle the country
with an additional tax of more than
$300,000,000 per annum and would
give the large bond holders, who have
bought their bonds at discount, an
investment in government bonds pay
ing from seven to nine per cent on
their cost.
"The standpatter and the reaction
airy are always a comfort to business,
but the danger is that If this is per-
sisted in too long the system will be
overthrown."
Just why there should be any doubt
as to whether or not the republican
party is prepared to spend an enor-
nous amount of money to promote
it's own interests and elect its candi-
dates in the present Campaign, is
not quite clear to anyone who is at
all familiar with present day politi-
cal conditions and with recent po-
litical history. The party which
admits having expended a million and
a half dollars to elect, by proven H.
legal processes, one United States
senator in Michigan, and one faction
of which admits having spent ST.
100000 merely in an effort to secure
the nomination for president for one
of the aspirants, General Leonard
Wood, will find it difficult to con-
vince the country that it will not
spend fifteen million or thirty mill
lion or fifty million dollars, if neces-
sary, to elect president. The legit-
innate costs of conducting a national
campaign under present conditions
are in any event very heavy. The

NEW IN THE ANIMAL WORLD
"okapp Astonished Explorers, and
Only a Few Specimens Have
Ever Been Obtained.

Some time before 1890, Stanley, the
explorer, had word from the pigmy
negroes of a new beast In the impene-
trable depths of the virgin forest
which borders the Semliki river in the
Belgian Congo. The Wambatti natives
described it as a species of donkey
and called it "Atti." From their fur
ther description, it seemed to be a
hoofed animal of considerable size,
which lived upon leaves. In 1899 Sir
Harry Johnston himself saw the pig
mics, who fully confirmed what STAN
ley had already told him, but added
that the strange beast was striped like
a zebra.
In 1901 a Swedish officer, NJ Karl
Erikson. obtained complete skin and
two skulls, which he sent to Sir Harry
Johnston. who then believed the beast
to be of the giraffe tribe, previously
found in a fossil state in Greece. 1t
was. however, proved conclusively that
although of the giraffe family it was
not the animal of ancient Greece, but
a new beast altogether. 1t was sub
sequently given the name Of "okapi."
No more than a dozen specimens of
this wonderful beast have been Sc
cnred-

SHOWING VALUE OF "FR0NT"
Impecunious Author Wise In Expendi-
ture That Less Far-Slghted
Friend Objected To.

There is young author who has ar
rived, and therefore has only, when he
wishes new suit or large steak or
set of automobile tires, to sit down at
his typewriter and dash off few care
less lines, and eager editors do the
rest. Once upon time, however
and, unlike the fairy stories, that
doesn't mean long, long ago-this
worthy young mans assets were so
near the vanishing point that his nu-
merous creditors became uneasy and
threatened a total discontinuance OF
supplies. Something had to be done,
and that quickly. The author did
something-he took famous financier
with whom he happened to be &C
quainted to lunch at the most ex-
pensive and conspicuous restaurant in
town. When it was over he walked
home for lack of another nickel.
"You are not as bright as you might
be, my boy" he patiently explained to
a protesting friend as he cheerfully
borrowed a quarter. Several of my
largest creditors always lunch at that
place, and 1 knew they would recog-
nize the man was with. Why, that
lunch is good for at least 60 days ex-
tension on my accounts"

Woman "spiIIed the Beans"

Less than century ago German
pro essor of chemistry succeeded re-
peatedly in producing small quantities
of gold which he exhibited to fellow
scientists whose keen interest may
well be imagined. 1t was later ascer-
tanned that a devoted servant, anxious
to give his master pleasure, had
bought gold leaf and surreptitiously
contributed it to the contents of the
crucible. One one occasion, however,
the servant was sent on a distant err
rand, and left money with his wife
for the purchase of the requisite gold
leaf. She spent the money for drink,
buying instead some dutch metal"
which she put into the pot. This led
to a discovery of the fraud, prompt
revelation of which by the professor
gave rise to immense amusement.

Old Chinese Burial Places.

Shanghai's old buildings on the Bund
are rapidly disappearing, and with
their destruction many discoveries in
the way of old burial places are be
ing made. While eXcavating for a
new building two Chinese graves were
discovered. Upon being opened, the
coffins were found to be in good de-
gree of preservation, considering the
length of time they must have been
lying in the swamp. The inscriptions
upon the stone tablets marking the
graves are Eligible, so any conjecture
as to their age is almost impossible.
An urn containing a quantity of bones
was also unearthed.
