“AY, THEBE'S THE HUB.”
"lu deciding on their nominee for
county commissioner the republican*
of the first district will give their ver
dict utter » consideration of two Ques
tions; Is the candidate honest and
capable of exercising good judgment
in the conduct of county business, and
does he show a fair and impartial atti
tude in the distribution of road funds?"
Touasket Times.
Those are Just exactly the Questions
that are agitating the voters of the tirst
district at this time, and accounts for
the wonderful Indorsement received by
C. W. Smith, lu his candidacy for com
missioner, from the length and breadth
of the district. Mr. Smith Is absolutely
honest, and as far as capability is con
cerned he Is the peer of any man who
has ever held the office of commis
sioner lu the county. His candidacy Is
wholly based upon a desire to see the
road moneys justly and impartially
distributed to the various road dlst
tricts. Can auy oue say that this has
been done in the past and stand un
challenged" Mr. Smith Is an active
member of the Orovllle town council
that has conducted business this year
In such a business like manner that
notwithstanding over half the normal
revenue has been cut off by the abol
ishment of saloon licenses, SIOOO of
old debts have been paid off. Can any
oue pretend that the county govern
ment Is conducted on a business basis
when the liabilities of the county, ac
cording to the auditor’s report, have
Increased over $42,000 the past two
years? Is it not time to call a halt and
place the business of the county In
the hands of a hotly of commissioners
who will bend every effort to reduce
expenses and thereby reduce taxation.
We protest against the use of the name
of Orovllle in conjunction with the
candidacy of Mr. Smith, as though Oro
vllle has any axes to grind. Mr. Smith
becomes a candidate through the urg
ing of the people from all the sur
rounding country, and it is merely an
incident of his candidacy that he Is a
resident of Orovllle. Orovllle has never
asked for anything but what was fair
and Just in the distribution of road
moneys, its people have never reached
out and grabbed money that other por
tions of the county were entitled to.
As evidence of their willingness to be
made the goat it is only necessary to
look over the condition of the roads
leading into and out of Orovllle. and
the condition and character of the
bridges, that w ere originally built al
most entirely by local subscription.
Orovllle has been overlooked with con
tempt by men in office with the power
of distributing road moneys, passed
up like a white chip, and heretofore
the people have meekly submitted,
standing true to their word when giv
ing to other districts as to apportion
ments and have been laughed at and
given the gaff. The same condition ex
ists in other parts of the district that
did not have the pull with the commis
sioners, and that Is why the voters of
the district are up in revolt at this
time. .Ad’, that is wanted, all that is de
sired. is exact justice and fair treat
ment. no more, no less, and that is
just what Mr Smith stands for. With
Mr. Smith as commissioner, so far as
his influence can be exerted, no one
part of the district, or county, will be
skinned for the benefit of another.
There will be no favoritism shown
with individuals, communities or lo
calities. and the one aim will be to re
trench wherever retrenchment Is pos
sible with the object of lowering the
tax burden that is working a grievlous
hardship on every resident of the coun
ty and holding back the settlement and
development of the county.
Next Tuesday every elector and
electress—it the female contingent of
voters can be so designated—is expect
ed to do his or her. duty, and that duty
is to go to the polls and assist in se
lecting candidates for the various of
fices to be filled at the November elec
tion No one should neglect this duty.
It is an Important one Upon the re
sult of the decision of the voter rests
the character of the officials who are
to serve the people for the next two.
four and six years, as the offices rep
resent county and congressional, and
state and senatorial nominations. The
county and congressional candidates
who are successful a: the November
election serve two years, the state of
ficials four 'ears and the United States
senator six years. There are many
excellent gentlemen running for every
office to be filled. Probably there has
never before been a higher class of
candidates taken in the aggregate than
those appealing for support at the pri
maries on the party tickets. No harm
would follow if any of these gentle
men were selected for the positions to
which they aspire. Too bad that all of
them cannot be chosen As that is Im
possible it is up to the voter Tuesday
to winnow out the candidates and se
lect the ones he or she. may consider
the belter qualified for places of honor
and trust-
The campaign through which we
have pased, and there has been a
catch-as-catch-can hustle (or the sup
port of the dear people by individual
office seekers, is only a preliminary
skirmish to the great political fight
that will he waged between September
1* and November 7. Getting the note-
Inutious is only a part ot the game.
After a nomination Is secured then
comes the crucial strain to cop the of
fice for which the candidate lias been
nominated. Getting elected on a party
ticket is no cinch, especially in the
race for a county office. Personal Ill
ness and general popularity are im
portant questions in the solving of this
problem. A county may be strongly
republican or strongly democratic,
but it does not always follow as a se
quence that the candidates ot the party
holding tire balance of power are al
ways successful. Republicans have
often been elected to office in demo
cratic strongholds, and vice versa. It
looks like a republican walk aw ay this
year, but one never can tell. The voter
is an uncertain quantity, and not al
ways to be implicit)' relied upon as
to promise, and a candidate who may
think he has the office sewed up in a
sack is surprised when the votes are
counted that the sack has sprung a
leak. A candidate's election Is never
certain until all the voles are counted
and the returns totaled.
The voter must bear In mind when
he. or she, enters the booth at the
polls next Tuesday to mark a ballot
that for certain offices where four or
more candidates are running for the
same office the voter must express a
first and second choice. The informa
tion as to where first and second
choice voting is to be done will be in
dicated on the ballot. It must be dis
tinctly remembered that where first
and second choice voting is required
that the ballot on which a first choice
vote has been recorded and the voter
has neglected to designate a second
choice the vote for that particular
office is nullified. For that particular
office that ballot is a blank. Every
man and woman should bear this in
mind when voting, because neglect to
express a second choice may result in
the defeat of the very candidate the
voter is most anxious to see nominated.
This statement is not merely suppos
itit'ous This congressional district has
an illustration of what carlessness in
this respect did to a candidate two
years ago At the primary election of
1914 had not many of those who voted
first choice tor John A. Gallatley. of
Wenan'hee. for congress, forgotten or
neglected to express a second choice
on their ballots Mr. Gallatley would
have been the republican nominee for
congress and the result of the election
that followed might have been differ
ent. Do not let another such mistake
again happen.

E. E. PARSONS Clerk.
( OHKERT IX SPOKAXE.
In the two weeks remaining on the
home stretch in the congresisonal race
most of the candidates are sticking
to Spokane. In a letter received from
Corkery headquarters, it is stated that
Mr. Corkery is speaking in different
parts of the city every night, several
meetings a night, and is relayed from
one part of the city to another by
automobiles. His busiest day was last
Friday, when he spoke to the morn
ing shift of police at 7;30. personally
met the people at Colbert and Mead
and points on the way to Deer Park
in the afternoon, returning to Spokane
and addressing a meeting of republi
cans at headquarters at S o'clock and
winding up by speaking to the night
shift of police at 11:30 p. m. His
friends are confident that beginning
with the fight that he made when he
was elected to the legislature, con
tinued in his campaign for congress
two years ago and culminating in
the present campaign, he will end
up a winner and represent this dis
trict in congress as it should be rep
resented. by a republican.
SPECIAL ELECTION
The board oi directors of School
District Xo. 1* have decided to call a
special election for Saturday. Sept.
I>s at 1 p. m.. for the purpose of de
termining the question of a special
levy of 3ve mills and other matters of
expense to the district. There is a
question of transportation of pupils
from remote potions of the district
which if undertaken will add t o the
expenses of the district. But which, on
the other hand will obviate the danger
of having these portions of our district
being annexed to some other district
or setting up a scbol of their own. The
board wishes to place the matter
squarely before the patrons of the
school and the tax payers. So come
out and vote and express yourselves
freely upon this question. The board
also wishes to submit their estimate
ot expenses for the year ending June
SO, 1917 for your approval or con-dem
nntlon.
