As close to copy as allowed.... I have not omitted spelling errors

FYI - RE: Glenn & Colusa Counties, Colusa County is situated in the central western part of the Sacramento Valley. It is bounded on the north by Tehama County, on the south by Yolo County, on the east by Sutter and Butte Counties and the west by Mendocino and Lake Counties. (This being true until 1891 when the County split and the northern portion of Colusa County became Glenn County.) From Colusa GenWeb Site.

So many of the people listed in this newspaper, likely lived once in Colusa County, as by 1898 Willows was now part of Glenn County.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS

At Bakersfield, the other evening Mr. Gage criticized Judge Maguire for objecting to the bond issue on the ground that people would not only have to pay the principal, but would have to pay nearly as much more in interest. "Suppose," says Mr. Gage, "you should go to a bank and attempt to raise money for a term of years on unimpeachable security without offering interest. Would you get it"  He could hardly have expected the people to be ignorant of the fact that Maguire’s objection was to the proposition of borrowing money that was not needed, rather than to the proposition of paving interest on borrowed money. If Mr. Gage, with sufficient money in his pocket should go to the bank and borrow more, and pay interest on the loan, what would be thought of him? That was the position of the United States, and that is what Maguire objects to - Sun.

Republican Corporation papers insist that the sole object of the three parties fusing together and forming a union upon the most vital principles was done for the purpose of securing the offices. In one sense they are right. It was not only to get the offices but to keep the Republican defaulting rascals out, and they are going to succeed. Now let us reason together and determine if possible why the g.o.p. has fused with the Southern Pacific railroad, and all corporations of the earth and Kentucky ?Was it for self or pure patriotism? It was surely not for principle for they have none of that precious article left. If they ever had any they have exchanged it for corporate influence, under the management and direction of such cattle as Buckley, Gassen, etc. The so-called fusion or union ticket eminated from the desire of the people to protect themselves from further encroachments of the bosses and corporate greed.  - San Diego Vidette

Organs and spokesmen of the Southern Pacific and the plutocratic class generally assert that they oppose Maguire because he favors the single tax and that the single tax will take the burden of taxation off the very rich and place it on the backs of the poor farmers. How absurb! The single tax would do no such thing, but it is not an issue because it can only be adopted by constitutional amendment by vote of the whole people. But if it meant shifting the burden of taxation from the backs of the rich to the poor does anyone suppose tax shirkers like the Southern Pacific Company would be against it! Has not that company fought the payment of its taxes for 20 years? When did it become anxious to pay taxes? - San Diago Vidette

What the people want is more money and less taxes. They are fast finding out that they cannot raise themselves by their own boot straps. They are rapidly realizing that the more they tax themselves for the benefit of corporations the poorer they get. No people can live under the pressure of a high tax and the Republican policy of contraction of the currency. Our resources are so great that they may struggle along a little longer but it is only a matter of time when all must succumb to the inevitable poverty and distress. Why should we vote to bring on such fatal results?
