JOHN II. VAN scHAIcK,
Republican nominee for Clerk Of
the District Court, was born in the
State OF New York in 1887. At the
age Of Is he came west and for
some years was engaged in carrying
the United States mail. In 1868
he came to Rocky Bar, and since
that date he has filled several
county Offices and served enc term
in the Idaho Legislature with
honor to himself and his constitu-
ents. Had il not been for his cleo
ton in November, 1883, the coun-
ties OF Gilmore aud Logan would
not be known to-day, but we would
he yelling whenever HALEY cracked
the whip. The people Of Western
Alturas in years gone by were con
tinually asking the Legislature TO
be cut off in q county by themselves,
but always in vain. They were
given promises, but long before the
ink on the paper was dry they were
broken, and Western Alturas (now
Elmore) was compelled to pay taxes
without representation, until John
Van Schaick was sent to the Legis-
lature and secured the passage OF
the bill creating the counties OF FL
more and Logan. 1t is true he was
assisted by the citizens of Mt. Home,
Glenn's Ferry, Rocky Bar and
other places. but To John Van he
longs the honor of success and the
honor of the office which he now
asks Mt the hands of the people. 1t
is different with his opponent, w
&c. Wickersham, who never set his
foot in the county until he came t.
hold an office as dupty under John
I. Gilman--came To eat the fruit OF
John Van Schaick's labor. Viii
not the voters support and honol
John Van, to whom honor is due
knowing full well that whethe
elected or not he will stillbe will
us and help us, will still be here tC
pay his taxes and carry on his bus
mess, unlike Mr.. Wickersham
whom we are informed has openl,
avowed that if he was not elected
he would go home to Boise City
Voters, support a man vino i
thoroughly identified with you
every interest and vote for JohnVaI
Ie for District Clerk.
