REPUBLICAN SPEAKING

Wednesday evening a good house greet
cd Chief Justice Jas. II. Beatty, and Jonas
w. Brown, candidate for Judge OF this
judicial district. C.S Kingsley, Chair
man, first introduced Mr. Brown, an
caily pioneers Of this place, and a man ID
every way qualified for the position for
which he was nominated. Mr. Brown
stated that the office of District Judge was
not a political one, and he preferred not
to make political speech, but touched
briefly upon the lead question, and re-
ferred to the qualifications Of Chas NJ.
Hays, Republican candidate for District
Attorney Of this district.
Judge Beatty was then introduced and
made the clearest, most logical and clean
cut speech heard during the campaign IN
this place. The Judge is very close

the space to give full synopsis of the
Judges arguments
He referred to the Republican Legisla.
tive ticket of Boise county, and to the fact
that it is all important for Republicans to
stay with their candidates for the Legis-
lature. as our Legislature elects two Uni,
ted states Senators. He then mentioned
the Republican nominee for Sheriff of this
county. stating that he knows something
of the faithful performance of the duties
of that Office by Havird, and could say
that, from what he knew of Havird's fit.
ness for the office, he felt sure that the peo-
pie of Boise county would make no mis-
take IN rejecting him The Judge stat.
ed that Havird had not received his pay
for his first term, although the District
Judge had rendered decision in his fa.
vor in the contest case, and two Supreme
Courts, one Democratic and the other Re,
publican, sustained tt4t decision. He
has been at great -expense fighting for
what was justly due him Judge Beatty's
remarks in regard to Havird were receiy
ed with rousing applause. We will add
that the objection TO third termers will moi
hold good in this case. When the
salary and fees of the office are taken in.
to consideration, he has not had as much
as one term.
