Show -u , MUST TAKE THEIR MEDICINE. A vote tor any nominee on the Democratic stato or county ticket Is' a vote for the Coour d'Aleno platrorm. From governor down to constablo the Democrats stand on that platform. That they do is proven by tho fact that not one single nominee has or-tered or-tered a public repudiation of the un-American un-American and typically Dubois doctrines doc-trines enunciated therdin. In private-some, private-some, of the nominees may have at- ( tempted to convey the idea that they, are not in sympathy with Dubois' religious re-ligious warlare, but such sub rosa statements hnvo been merely for tho sake of votes and cannot bo considered consid-ered the -truth. They stand on the Dubois platform, and by that platform ' they must win or lose. The platform was adopted long heroic the county .nominations were made, and lr any man or woman was not in sympathy I therewith, ho or she could have re- fused to accept a place on tho ticket. , The acceptance or a nomination was a tacit acknowledgement that tho platform plat-form was In accordance with their personal views. There Is no way of getting around this fact. And tho fact remains and is worthy of repetition, that a 'ote for any Democratic nom-Inpo, nom-Inpo, from top to bottom or tho ticket, is a vote for religious persecution, for the disfranchisement of a well-established sect, and for the un-American and .nexcusable doctrines included in the Dubois fad. Under the circumstances there is but one thing for the people of this section of the stato to do: Vote tho ' Republican ticket straight. There may j 1)9 names on the Democratic county ticket worthy of a .vote; but tho fact should not be overlooked that just so long as candidates on the Couor d'Alene platform are elected, just that long will there be more Couer d'Alene platforms and candidates to stand thereon. The Democrats or Bannock county must take ihelr medicine They cannot can-not hope to attain success In tho diverting di-verting attempt tocarry water on both Bhoulders. They cannot be Duboiso-crats Duboiso-crats to pro-DuboisItes and anti-Du- boisites to tho antl-Duboisocrats. They are on the Dubois ticket and cannot evade tho responsibility. Stockslager is not only a nominee on tho Dubois ticket, but ho Is soK-conressedly soK-conressedly in complete sympathy with the Dubois platform. That spells his dereat, and tho same thing should be true or every nominee on tho Dubois Du-bois ticket, rrom soup to nuts. Vote the Republican ticket straight and make no. mlstnke.
