Altbo for the paat two daya the cam

a aulet way, there have been no results

Captain Siemens received a letter

Stattmtnt No. I, Isiutd presumably
by he rell committee, haa bean dla
tributed broadcast ever the county,
and .digested by the voters,, but has
proven rather ef a boomerang to the
cause It waa Intendtd to further. No
ens yet has bean found to claim or ad'
mlt authorahlp of thla political abor
tlon, and whether any attempt will be
made to prosecute thoae who thua vio
lated the Corrupt Practice law, In their
animosity agalnat Judge Hanki, Is not
known. '
As this statement was numbered 1,
It was presumed that it would be fol
lowed by Statement No. 8, but to date
no furaher anonymoua printed attaska
no further anonymous printed attacks
ered. If any eueh haa been Issued It Is
being circulated mere secretely than
the first edition.
The fact Is, the recall campaign la
falling flat, aa people are beginning to
Investigate the etorlea that have been
teld thruout the county In an attempt
to Injure the present court The utter
failure ef the management opposing
Judge Hanks te present any argument
that will stand public scrutiny, has
stirred the resentment of many who
had permitted themselves te be per.
suaded Into Joining the movement thru
representatleno made te them, which
they have since found to be false.
It ie hard far the frlende ef the re
call te explain te the honest voter who
Is leaking for facts, why the recall
committee wae unwilling te ge before
the people In an honest, straightfor
ward manner thru the public press
and present their reasons why Judge
Hanks eheuld be removed from office,
and then, Just en the eve ef election,
resort to the contemptible and under
hand methede ef attacking Judge
Hanks tJtrw.the distribution ef anen
ymeuegftlelea, thus violating a law
which the very seeale they hope te In-
mence, by their' votes, placed en the
statute books.
'Sucfc'aesmpalgn cannot but'dlsgwet
the thinking people ef the county, and
reports are coming In by the hundreds
ef a change ef sentiment, und people
who were ef a different canton last
week, are new determined te ehew by
their votes that they energetically dis
approve ef such methods.
It is practically an admittance of de
feat when the recallara have almost
been forced to abandon their argu-
mente on tho court house location. You
dent hear thla subject msntloned to
people who know tho facta, as they
realise that they have no argument
They cannot deny that the present
county court Is saving the people over'
9180,600, so they have switched ever
te the road question, and are abusing
Judge Hanks for net spending mere
money on tho reads ef the county.
They do net tell the people that the
eeunty court haa placed all future road
work on a strictly business basis, wrtn
a competent and energetic engineer aa
head, who is now busy planning a com
prehensive eystem ef permanent read
Improvement for tho entire county.
They say nothing about the work that
haa been going on elnce early spring at
the reek crusher and the macadamis
ing ef tho Merrill road, the wonderful
Improvement already made at Modoo
Point, the plans for tho Improvement
of the Olene hlghwsy, and surveys now
under way and read surfacing planned
In other parte ef the country districts,
or the Keno road, which has been re
built The county court cannot reach
every section of road In the county In
one or two years, and they cannot do
it under Mr. Bunnell or any other man
that might be put In as county Judge.
When anyone talks recall to you, Just
Insist on facts, and ask the party how
much taxes he pays.
