The Sure Winners.

dates and good members of the party
will, on the Sd of November, come
out ahead by a large majority.
Alex. Urdahl, for state senator
is a bright young miner of Neal
mining district. He is quiet and
unassuming, but popular, well edu.
Gated and thoroughly acquainted
with the wants of Elmore county,
and will always be found at his post
in the upper house of the legislature.
He should receive the support OF
not only every Democrat and Popu-
list but every miner, rancher and
laboring man in the county.
H. S. JONES, for representative, is
a resident of Mountain Home, and
has stood at the blacksmith's anvil
in this place for the past five wears,
earning an honest living for himself
and family by the sweat of his brow.
He is generally known as "the
learned blacksmith" by the able
manner in which he grasps public
questions of Importance and silences
his opponents, especially upon the
free silver issue. AS he said in a
neat little speech on the evening of
his nomination, Mr.. JONES will 90
to the legislature as a servant OF
the people of Gilmore. and he will
not be found idling his time away
at banquets and places of amuse-
ment. He is strictly honest and will
make record in the lower house
of which his fellow workingmen will
feel justly proud.
William NJ. Stockton of Glenn's
Ferry will be our next sheriff and a
worthy successor to Charlie Oliver.
He is too well known to the people
of this county to need an introduce
ton at our hands. He is a pioneer
of the Pacific coast, a pioneer of
Idaho and a pioneer of Gilmore
county, highly respected bv all, and
will conduct the sheriff's office with
an eagle eve and marked ability.
Give Pap" Stockton a rousing ma
jority, voters of Gilmore.
James O'Neill of Rocky Bar is our
next Assessor and Collector. He is
an honest, industrious and highly
respected miner and possesser
family which he worships. We have
known Jimmy O'Neill for many
years and have yet to hear one word
against his character. He always
is loyal to his friends, is man of
good morals, thoroughly capable for
the office, and will come down from
the mining camps, where he is best
known, with tremendous majority.
You will make no mistake by sup
porting James O'Neill for Assessor
and Collector.
Charlie Howeth has served one
term as county treasurer and has
given such general satisfaction that
his opponents can't find d man who
will run against him. He may al
ready commence rustling for bonds,
as his election is assured.
h. Clinton has filled the office of
Probate Judge one term in this
county, and his administration was
efficient, honest and far less expen-
sive to the taxpayers of the county
than that of his predecessor or his
successor to the position.
l.. M. May for coroner and S. G.
Rhoades for surveyor are both good
nominations and worthy men whose
names are without a blemish.
George Butler, for commissioner
of the first district, has resided at
Atlanta for many years. He is a
miner and contractor and is a man
of unblemished reputation. He will
look well to the interests of his peo-
pie and will be commissioner in
fact, not a mere fgure-head.
Robert Griffith of Little Camas is
the man for commissioner for the
second district. He formerly mined
at Rocky Bar, but for the past six
years has been ranching on Little
Camas praire. Bob Griffith is
man of positive character and good
abilities, is man whose word is
as good as a bond and his honesty
and fair-dealing with his fellow-man
can not be truthfully questioned.
He will get there over his opponent
by handsome vote
Thomas r Stevenson of Glenn's
Ferry is the nominee for commits
sioner for the third district. He has
heretofore served as commissioner
and gained the reputation of being
"the watchdog OF the county treas
ury." He hates frauds and shams
of every kind and knows but one
rule in life-to do his duty at all
times and under all circumstances.
His honesty and integrity are house
hold words wherever he is known.
True to his own honor and ever
mindful of the interests Of the tax
payers, he is just the man for the
people to have on the board of COM
missioners. He is opposed to all
star-chamher proceedings and favors
economy in all branches of the
county government. If the people
of Elmore county are true to their
own interests they will give the old
veteran a rousing majority on cleo
