TWO MEN WITH TWO METHODS.

TWO MEN WITH TWO METHODS.
That men and methods differ great
ly and that one may attain success
where the other fails, is often DEM
onstrated and striking instance
comes to light in Latah county. Two
men striving for the same object have
visited this county. Both are organic
ers for the nonpartizan league. One
made a flat failure, awakened antag-
onism to the league that will be hard
to overcome and even some of his
most ardent supporters admit that
his visit "did more harm than good"
Ray McKaig was the first man, the
man who failed McKaig ''sneaked
into" Latah county and held meet
ing one Sunday afternoon in Moscow.
Only members of the league knew he
was coming. He gave typical Nc
Kaig address in which utter disregard
for the truth was shown and lies were
used almost exclusively He denounc
ed almost every one and everything in
Latah county as bad or rotten"
crooked and dishonest. He stated that
go per cent of the people of Mos
COW were owned and controlled by the
Potlatch Lumber company" and in all
of his address, lasting more than an
hour, it is said, he failed to say good
word for any one or anything in La
tab county outside of the nonpartizan
league, for which he is paid organ
izer. McKaig came here with the
stink of Kate Higgins O'Hare, who
said the mothers of American soldiers
are no better than brood sows' still
upon him, for he had caresSed Kate |
and called her SISTER" and said she |
had his sympathy. McKaig left La
tab county thoroughly aroused and an
'tagonistic to the nonpartizan league.
Some time ago the league undertook |
the work of organizing this county
with different man and different
method. 1t sent r. P. Waters here.
Mr.. Waters is not a s'fire-eater" and
denOuncer OF all that is. He admits
that there are thousands of good men
and good women in Latah county VINO
are not members of the nonpartizan
league. He makes no claim that eve
ry person not a member is a crook, a
thief and hireling of some big cor
poration And Mr. Waters is doing
the work that Ray AfcKaig could new
er do. Opponents OF the league have
much more to fear from man of Mr.
Waters type than from man of the
type of Ray McKaig Mr. Waters is
securing results that McKaig could not
secure in thousand years.
