LEAGUE CANDIDATES WORTHY
OF YOUR CONFIDENCE

When the Nonpartisan League
was first organized 1t was not the
intention of the, members to take
any part in county politics, and the
leaders advised against this prac-
tise two years ago. In spite OF
this the members in a number of
counties in the state put up county
tickets and elected them. Since
the organization of the farmers,
and during the past two years es-
pc ally, it was found that the car
rying out Of the farmers program
was being hampered to more or
less extent in the various counties
of the state by county, officers in
their official capacity working and
talking against the league program
While holding office they were able
to do the league more harm than
they would as private citizens. In
some counties in the state the
county officers spent more time on
the street knocking the, league than
they dill in their Offices working,
while in other counties the league
had no fault to find with the way
4 things were being conducted.
At a meeting of the executive
committee of the Nonpartisan
League held last winter it was de-
cided that in such counties as it
was thought to the best interests of
the cause that the league repre-
sents, a county ticket should be put
in the field. and it was left to. the
members in each county to decide
whether or not such ticket should
be endorsed. \. ,%i
5, In Burke county it was decided
at the county convention held at
sFlaxton some months ago that it
would be to the best interests of
the farmers organization to endorse
such a ticket, and the endorsement
was made. s2g$ " ssr-.&.
AZ the time the endorsements
were made every delegate present
was given q chance to say anything
he desired in regard ito the names
put up. and no candidate received
an endorsement until after num-
her of ballots were taken, and 1t
was decided by all the delegates
present that he would be the best
man for the place as far as the Non
partisan League organization was
concerned.
The candidates endorsed are all
we'll fitted for the places that the
1 farmers expect to elect them tO, and a
members Of the league throug ghout
4 the county are expected to vote for
all the same as they are expected
to vote for all the candidates for
state offices endorsed by the league,
III they desire to keep the organiza-
I tion up to its strongest condition. ;
Below we. give a short sketch OF
each one of the league candidates
for county offices, and in supple
ment we give sketch of each one
OF the league candidates for state
Offices. Read all the sketches over
carefully. and be sure to take a
complete list of all the league can
didates with you when you go to
the polls to vote. Such list may
be clipped from any issue of The
Tribune, or may be gotten In card
form from any Of the league boost

Governor Cox is a great hand at

habit OF seeing things. According to
the governor the wicked republicans

all the cheap skate politicians who
nave ever been before the public, Gov.
Cox has proved himself to be the
cheapest Intelligent democrats every-
where are disguised with his tactics
He has degenerated into a scold. a
ghost chaser, whining weakling The
last thing, so far as heard from. for
ne VIII nave others, to arouse his ire
is the Saturday Evening Post, which
pricked the bubble of his shallowness
in its last issue. This hurt Jimmie
woefuily, because the Saturday Even
ing Post has the largest circulation OF
any publication in the land and its
editorials are the most analytical and
convincing that appear in print. Jeems,
IN the heat of his resentment. endeay-
ors to put the Saturday Evening Post
ON the hog by advising every one to
discontinue their subscriptions. which
is hardly in conformity with the fell
lowship OF the craft. However. the Sat
urday Evening Post will in all proba-
bllity be still in existence and flourish
ing after Governor Cox has shuffled off
and is forgotten.

1t is poor policy for democrats and
democratic speakers to abuse the lead
ers and rank and file of the republican
party at this time. No democrats stood
more loyalty by the administration
from the declaration of war to the end
thereof than did the republicans. Fur
thermore, the republicans never broke
faith with President Wilson until he
assumed the role of dictator. If his
league of nations failed of adoption il
was wholly the presidents fault. Had
ne consulted with the senate. as was
his duty, had he accepted the reserva-
tons proposed for the safeguarding
or this country, the league of nations
would have been adopted. The presi-
dent alone is at fault and in the face
of the loyal support that the republic
cans gave him when he NEEDED the unit
ed support of the country. it comes
with poor grace for democrats to
charge republicans with every crime
in the decalogue.

Okanogan county owes Judge Web
ster debt of gratitude that never can
be fully repaid. He came to the rescu~
OF the apple growers by protectins
their system of box sales. He has saw
ed the orchards under the government
irrigation project by securing an enor
nous appropriation to be used in In
stalling pumps in order to secure AIDE
quate water supply. He saved for the
unfortunate farmers on the south-half,
up against four years of drouth, the
land they have worked so hard to hold
and improve. He saved many claims
for the poor prospector in the hills
He secured from the Indian depart
ment thousands of dollars that were
really due the county as taxes on In
dian lands, and that money comes in
mighty handy to both Okanogan and
Ferry counties when those counties are
murdered with debt. His aid has not
but in one way and another he has
contributed to the benefit of every
county in the district. Out of eighteen
bills favoring the laboring man he has
supported sixteen. and no congress
man has better record If the voters
of this district do not return Judge
Webster to congress then it is true
indeed that the people Of republics are
ungrateful, and there is no incentive
for future congressman from this dis
trict to go out of their way 70 favor
their constituency.

This paper has no desire to attempt
to tell the people how to vote. Every
one is free agent when it comes to
casting his ballot and has the same
right to his or her opinion and choice
as the publisher of the Gazette, and
yet we would urge all those who be-
lfeve in 100 per cent Americanism to
remember the suffering we recently
passed through and vote for only
those who stood by their country in
the time of need. Webster and Banker
are that kind of men, the former a re-
publican and the latter a democrat. If
you believe in standing for what our
boys fought for when you go to the
polls next Tuesday, vote for Banker
and Webster.

The other day a visitor in town
made checking charge against Judge
Webster, charge he knew was not
true. The individual was called down
for his reckless statements, but he
smiled and said: well, you know that
Is only politics" At the close of his
speech Saturday night, after making
sweeping charges against all repub-
licans and growing heated over his de-
tense Of the league of nations, Mr..
Tustin spoiled the effect of his diatribe
by showing that he was not sincere
when he said well, you know this is
politics" Heavens, how many crimes
are committed in the name of politics,
and we are all more or less guilty. Our
better judgment Is warped by our po-
litical prejudices. We accept as facts
statements made against another po-
litical party, so absurd that if we only
stopped to reason moment we would
realize that they were false. 1t is not
so much bald falsehood as half truths
that politicians indulge in, together
with sly inuendoes and intimations.
Politics, If you go into it deep, Is very
much OF a cess pool, although some
seem to enjoy wallowing in the mire
more than others.

Some one cut farmerlabOr banner

was the work of a vandal. Such acts
as that do not make friends for the
opposition. What the conservative
law-abiding people are crying on,
against is the method that the farmer
labor leaders employ in an effort to
secure control of the government. This
rape OF the banner is more after the
plans OF the radicals than those who
believe I'm the perpetuation of GOOD

How cruelty unfair and unjust men
are who permit their Judgment to be
warped by political prejudices. The
last issue of the Keller Eagle froths
over with democratic red fire, and that
paper goes so far as to intimate that
the democrats won the late war. Yet,
as far as our observation goes almost
every man who volunteered his services
up this way was a republican and still
is republican, and We know from
experience that a very large percent
OF the money subscribed to carry
on the war came out of the pockets OF
republicans. But considering the botch
the democratic administration made
of handling every department of gov
eminent during the war, and how that
the administration fairly threw money
away thai was contributed by the PEG
pie who made the creates. kind of
sacrifices in order to contribute. it
would seem the less said about how
the democrats won the war the better
it would be for that party.

ARTICLE TEN.

The official text OF the league COW
enant appears In the last Issue of the
Literary Digest and the following is
the exact wording of Article 10, over
which there has been so much contro-
versy. and which has divided people
into two warning camps regardless OF
their political affiliations. This state
ment can be safely made. because
much or the opposition to the league
comes from democrats both in and our
of congress:
The members of the League under
take to respect and preserve as agains,
external aggression the territorial in.
tegrety and existing political indie
pendence of all Members of the
League. In case of any such aggres
sion or in case of any threat or danger
or such aggression the Council shall
advise upon the means by which this
obligation shall be fulfilled"
Now republicans in the senate back
ed by number of democrats have in
sisted upon reservations to Article
10 that will safeguard American inter-
ests. They claim that under this ar
ticle by vote of the Council, America
would be under moral obligation, as a
member of the League, to send an
army and navy to any place in Euro
pc or Asia, or Africa that the Council
decided required the presence of an
armed force to carry out any mandate
OF that body, to protect other states
from external aggression, thus taking
from congress it's inherant right to
declare war or peace. The League liz
nores the Monroe doctrine that has
peeH looked upon as protective
measure for the western hemisphere
since it's formulation. The senate was
willing to ratify the League with GER
tain reservations, but the president
would not listen to any such proposal,
hence the dead lock over this measure
that has continued for two years.
NOW Cox, the democratic candidate
Tor president stands for the League
without the reservations the senate
insists upon. following in the footsteps
OF Wilsop, while Harding believes that
we should look to the interests Of
america first and Europe afterwards
by insisting that this League should be
carefully revised before it's ratification.
Ihere Is much honest difference of
opinion under all of this political bunk
mat is going around. but the vast ma
lority of people believe that the league
should be revised before it's adoption
by the congress.

The county has been flooded with
circulars issued by the farmer-labor
leaders. Let everybody read and diges,
the contents and then vote to save the
county and state from such an admin
istration as those men would provide
if they lived up to the radical platform
formulated, only misleading outline
of which appears in the circular. We
would call attention to the fact that
the circular particularly states that
Frank c. Graham, whose name appears
on the republican ticket is non-par-
tisan. The nonpartisan outfit also en-
dorses Fleming. for congress. Now
there you are Every loyal republican
should vote against Graham and every
loyal democrat should vote against
Fleming. Both are tarred with the
same stick and are trying to get into
office under false colors.

Just remember that every !. w. W.,

of Mr.. Fleming denouncing the radical

want the support of that class, simply
because he has not the moral courage
