Shoshone journal. [volume] (Shoshone, Idaho) 1884-1931, 1896-10-30

Vote Tor Tom Mcmahon 4or snerIH.
he ia the right man for the people.
Vote for James Lewis for constable of
the Shoshone precinct. He is good
steady young man and will make an A
No. officer, put an x opposite his
name.
Every thinking and observing man
will put an x opposite the name of Tom
Mcmahon for sheriff. Why? Because
he ia the best man for that responsible
office.
Be sure and put an X opposite the
names of Frank w. Coolidge for state
senator and Charles N. Dilatush for re-
preventative, for by 30 doing you vote
for good solid men and not for jim crow
Office seekers.
The sad news OF the death of Mrs.
William Gwinn, at their ranch, % miles
northeast of Shoshone, reached town
"Wednesday evening. Mrs. Gwinn has
been sick for the last 10 days with double
pneumonia. She leaves husband and
five small children to mourn her demise.
Full particulars will be given SO soon as
they can be CLEANED.
A. S. Senter has been hard and faith
full worker for the county. He assumed
the duties of his office without records
or books, but the office has been ABLY
filed and no man has yet found fault in
the manner his duties have been per-
formed. He is competent and obliging
official, and by his untiring efforts he
has earned reelection from the peo-
pie, an X opposite his name is vote
for the right man in the right place.
Who will be the next sheriff of Lin
coin county? Why, Thomas McMa-
hon of course. How do know? Well I'll
tell you, 1 have travelled all over this
county during the past three weeks, and
have made the inquiry that you have
propounded to me, and nine out of ten
men say they are for Mcmahon, because
he is good, sober, steady going bust
ness man, and that is the kind OF a man
they want for sheriff. There is no kick
against White further than they claim
he has mad the Office long enough and is
too expensive for so small county.
When a man is running for county
office, and sends away for his SUD-
plies, even to his letter heads and en-
velopes, when there is a printing Office
in his own town it is high time that the
people discovered that he had no inter
est in the progression of the town. If
such people think that We are straight
out and out pie-bald ass, and will turn
loose and support them incur columns
they are beautifully fooled. Aman who
patronizes home institutions, enter
prises, etc., shows his interest in the
welfare of the community. When he
does otherwise he shows that he wants
to down the whole works.
The time draws nigh. Somebody
must be defeated. In fact there are q
number who will be defeated. One OF
the best remedies for a defeated candi-
date is to take his medicine like man,
keep reasonably sober, keep his mouth
shut some, don't try and lick anyone
who didn't happen to work or even vote
for him. This has been known to cure
the worst case of defeat that has ever
been discovered. Then again if the de-
feated candidate should want to bob up
again in two years for office people |
would say that he had sand, but if he
cries, gets full, wants to fight, etc., it
shows he is no man at all, and is not
even fit for a dog catcher.
We were informed by Editor Waters
Tuesday, that the "Silver Banner"
would give up the ghost this week, as
this was its last appearance. The Ban
ner was ushered into this world Satur-
day. August LIST, 1896, and has been |
sentenced to death by its sire. The
death penalty will be paid tomorrow
morning at the hour OF 9 O'Clock. Re
quie scat in pace Rev. II. NJ. Thatcher /
will conduct the obsequies. The Ban
ner was 'rara avis, but during its short
life did echo many bright and scintillat-
ing editorials which emansted from the
pen of Mr.. Waters. 1t has been q kind /
and quiet neighbor, but has gone to
realm where its good qualities will be
better appreciated than in Lincoln coun-
ty.
