The Same Old Pill With a
Pretty, New, Pink Coating

The farmers Of Clearwater coun-
ty know the story Of the Blake
gang influence. The democrats and
republicans kicked this same gang
out of their party politics because
it as a grating gang. Remember
the $66,O00 Nease-Cruise? Remem-
Der the Swinton deal? Remember
the mismanagement of the Orofino
Highway District? The tampering of
the assessors records? This outfit
has never stood for the rights of
the people against the rottenest
kind of political corruption. The
Blake-Crow gang is at the head of
the Non-Partisan league In Clear
water county. They control the or
ganization in this county and direct
its policies and the farmers advance
the money. Their method of cam
paign, as put forth in the Orofinc
Tribune, the gang organ, is enough
to convince any sane person thai
this is true. They do not give a
care for any party, not even the
Non-partisan league, excepting FOL

Of our people who have helped build

They have hired, with the money Of

our government to pieces as 1T Is
administered today. 1t seems to be
their business to do this. They have
no interests in the people of Idaho

their enterprise fail many will move
on to new and more fertile field
