Wo commond nnd i jrove tho busl-1 ncss like and economical administration administra-tion of present county affairs. Dur-ng Dur-ng tho present Republican administration adminis-tration many miles of road have been graded, and the administration has been otherwise diligent In the improvements im-provements of roads. It has built a substantial and convenient addition addi-tion to the county court house. It has built five cement bridges, each with a span ot over twenty feet, and from fifty to seventy-five cement culverts, cul-verts, all representing more permanent perma-nent improvements than has been accomplished ac-complished during ahy.'Ul prior administrations. ad-ministrations.

A fair wage for tho laborer, with reasonable working hours, top prices for the farmer, and laws that will prohibit nil professional men, and combination combina-tion of Interests, from combining to fix maximum and minimum rates. Wo believe tho rank, and file of tho Republican party aro still Republicans, Republi-cans, and condemn tho action on the part ot a misguided few, who aro blindly cutting their own throats In attempting to cast the affairs ot Cacho county In the hands of the Democracy by organizing a new party. In this hour of prosperity and plenty, plen-ty, running over a period ot nearly halt a century of unparalleled, matchless match-less Republican rule, this hour of political po-litical unrest and personal strife, amidst tho, clamor for a change without with-out reasons therefor, we call upon the Republicans of Cache county to consider well tho all Important problem prob-lem of tho hour. Political parties, like Individuals havo records ot their own. Tho record of tho Republlcnn pnrty Is tho history of our country. It has mot nnd solved ovory natlonnl question that has demanded solution 9 for over a half a century, its roc- I ord is clean and spotless. Tho Dem- H ocratio party has a record too, a re- H cord that does not inspire hope, and H Is remembered only In regret Tho H now party; founded on personal am- I bitton may serve as ballast It will fl never stear the ship. In the words M of tho martyred William McKlnley 'T6u do not have to guess what the Republican party will do. The wholo world knows lu purpose. It has enacted it into law and executed It I in administration. There will be I prophets of evil and false teachers. E Borne part of the column may waver , 9 and wander away from the standard, w but there will ever rally around It a mighty majority to preservo it stainless." |
