governmental principles according to his way of thinking there are too many however who think this can be best done by scratching the ticket this is not the case each party stands for such laws and such manipulation of government ment as to its members seem best and the only way a voter can call demonstrate his support of a party and its declarations and methods is to vote the ticket straight many say it makes little or no difference how we vote in local politics vote for the best man this isa false conclusion the tree receives its nourishment and the fruit its flavor through the tiny

Is to sustain president roo roosevelt in what lie is doing to vote any other ticket Is to vote against him the democrats by their platform do not sustain him and the americans are ashamed of him so said one of their speakers at their late convention held in fit salt lake city and he was applauded to the echo by his auditors are the republicans of DOS box elder county ashamed of president roosevelt we think not the loters eis ei s of this county have other matters worthy of consideration for the last four years the management has haa been in the hands of the republican party the millionaire millionaire sports sport owning club houses the railroad companies and other eions the mine owners bankers and men with flocks and herds berds on an a thousand hills have been trade made to drop their shekels into the tax till beside the widows mite which had never been done before under former administrations the improvements and other property in the county was raised by the state hoard board b because because the officials neglected their duties think of a clubhouse with its furnishings worth 25 being assessed at 1000 railroad lands at per acre and tho the ranchers fand beside it if at figo per acre the democrats in their platform say they deplot deplore 6 the expending of 01 1100 for an all unnecessary audit of 01 the county records no lio wonder because this audit puts ul a quietus on their insinuations against one of 0 tile the county officials two yeara i ago it also answers all the oft repeated repealed queries of the taxpayer where do all tho the taxes KO the

republican COLUMN continued from first page fairs of the county are in a most excellent condition there are those who are trying to divert the attention ot of the voters from these facts by it having published harangue about church rings clubs families holding office etc etc consistency thou art a jewel tho the item in the report about family office holding comes with ill III grace from the person who penned it and while there is no unwritten law which gives to any office holder WT kor office seeker two or more terms in office there is an inherent right resting with the people to drop an incompetent or unappreciative officer at the end of one term or continue the one that is worthy of two or more there is another family in box elder county besides the one referred to in the report of recent date whose relations and cifes relations according to public records have been office seekers and holders for many years either elective or appointive the combined length of time of their incumbency amounts to more than twenty five live years three holding down offices at one and the same time and at other times the same person holding two offices at once oace during these years the parties in mind must have had a neat little sum from the public funds yet no doubt they earned all they received A young mens alens republican club lias has been alluded to it is stated staled democrats as well as republicans were admitted to the club there was one member who proclaimed himself a republican and was admitted as any one else would be upon his signing the constitution at the following election of a school trustee he worked ifor for the democratic candidate as stated in the report when other of the club learned this fact they doubled their efforts tor for the gentleman on the republican ticket who was elected and at the next meeting of the club the case of the double sided member was considered and lie he was dropped what more could be done and so we might continue along these lines for a column or two but it is not pleasant to engage in any unseemly criticisms and would not do so but that the republican party has been put on the defensive by the other two the state is republican the coun t tyl ts st thes lind if the voters stay by the principles advocated by the puffy part y of progress and prosperity both coli coulty fity and state will remain so in the american column of the box elder news oct IS 18 1906 Is found among other things a discussion of the Valent valentine lne question the article referred to is a peculiar 0 mixture of facts and fancies
