CHARLES D. cokE.

The Republicans present the name of
Chas. B. Coke, Of Payette, tor Probate
Judge of Canyon county Mr.. Coke has
not been among Us as long as the men
who left Missouri in the fifties, but
who, since he became a citizen Of this
county, has won the esteem and conf
dence of every one who has the adyan.
tage of an acquaintance with him, He
is an honorable and upright mana
man Of education and bears an excel
lent reputation for legal ability among
the attorneys of this state. Mr.. Coke
came to this county in 1895 from Chi

ton with the Security, Title and Trust
Co., of Chicago, and also served as dep

P. a. DEEERS.

The Republican party knows no sect,
creed, profession or calling, except pa
triotism and sound principles Of govern
ment. When it goes out to hunt man
for position, it asks only three ques-
tons: First, is the man a patriotic cti-
zen, second, is he Republican; third,
is he competent and worthy? When
these questions are answered in the
affirmative, Republicans do not bother
themselves as TO whether the man is a
Presbyterian, Methodist, tailor, shoe.
maker, doctor, lawyer or banker. That
is none of their business. Every Iegiti-
mate calling is honorable if honorably
filled. The Republican party is broad
enough to embrace every loyal and well
disposed citizen Of the republic, 1t
honors all its members alike according
TO their deserts. The other day the Re-
publicans Of this county started out to
find man, Republican and patriot
who could and would, well, ably and
faithfully fill the Office of County Clerk
and Recorder. They were particularly
fortunate in the quest. Mr.. P. A
Devers, Of Payette, was selected above
all others as the proper man. Mr.. Devers
is possessed of an excellent business
education and is the only man in th,
race who is thoroughly competent to fl
the requirements of this Office. Pat ha
occupied positions of trust and respon
sibility in this city and no man has eve
dared breathe word against his con
duct. There is not a man in Canyon
county who would not trust Pat Dever
with any commission, no matter HOY
important. If we are half as sensibl
as we ought to be- Mr.. Devers will

JAS. J. MCDONALD.

The TRIBUNE wants to tell the people
OF this county something about the Re-
publican candidate for State Senator,
Mr.. ]. J. Mcdonald of Nampa. The
gentleman is perhaps one of the best
Known Of any of the Republican can
oidates. He has spent the greater por-
lion of his life among the people of this
and old Ada county, and he bears a
reputation without a flaw. Besides he
is substantial, intelligent and honor
able citizen. Indeed, just the man to
represent this county in the upper house

THE COUNTY TREASURER.

About the most interesting local con-
test appears to be on the county treas.
urer. 1t is generally understood that
the Commercial bank is pulling hard
for M. R. Jenkins, and that the First
National bank fayors John C. Bane,
while d. E. Smithson is backed by the
people. In this contest it strikes us
that it would be best to elect Mr.. Smith
son. He will discharge the duties of
the Office without reference to the in
terests of any bank, taking care only
that the money of the people shall be
placed in safe depository, and that
warrants shall be called and paid when,
ever there is a dollar in the treasury
Mr.. Smithson is the man to vote for.

JOHN +. NESBITT.

The Payette river is one of the stur-
diest and most reliable streams in all
this grand county; yet it is but repre-
sentative Of some of the splendid men
vino live upon its banks. The beautiful
and substantial river does not, however,
impart of its character to all those who
live by it; but it has been generous to
John T. Nesbitt, the Republican nomi-
nee for Assessor. There is a man to be
proud of. A good, honest, hardfsted,
hardheaded man-sueh man as any
farming community would trust any
and everywhere. The farmers along
the Payette ought to support Frank
Nesbitt unanimously. He is one of
them and knows their pains and trlbu-
Iations. He has lived among the people
of this section for 25 years past and
helped to build the bridges and kin the

FRANK J. SMITH.

We think it was Pitt who made such
a ringing reply when an Anticipated
statesman charged him with the crime
of youthfu!ness, in the British Parlia-
ment. 1t is recorded that the hoaTy
headed old codger absolutely wilted
under the scorching, and though re-
naming in parliament many years,
never afterwards had the courage to
omen his mouth. There is quite num-
her of that old statesman's posterlty
on earth today and they still entertain
a sueaking antipathy against young
men. We are reminded of this fact by
the objections some urge against the
election of Frank j. Smith as Attorney
for this county. They say he IS TOO
Young. Fox was elected member OF
narIiament before he was 81 years OF
aoe and was leader in that august
bodv before he was %. At the age OF
% Jsfferson was one of the most proml'
pont and trusted men in Virginia, and
was oniy SO when he wrote the Declare
tion of Independence. At the age OF
10 Washington ranked major in Tie
colonial home forces, and at Il he I'M
| Sertook and successfully accomplished
his celebrated mission to the French
oommandant, which dozens of Older
men had quailed at. But why recount

hearted man. No decent person ever
appealed to him for an accommodation
of any sort which was not granted If it
were in his power to grant 1t. He is
the nominee of the Republican party
for Representative, and the taxpayers
Of Canyon county will have an able
Representative if they will only be wise
and elect Amos Ettinger. He is a man
of broad experience and understands
thoroughly the needs Of Canyon county
and the State of Idaho. Elect him as
member of the legislature and he will
not be a disappointment,

D. 4. CLEMENS.

The position OF Superintendent of
Public Instruction is very important
one to be flied at this election and the
mothers of Canyon county should make
it a point to see that an honorable and
competent person is selected. The sue.
cess or failure of our public schools de-
ponds entirely upon the incumbent of
this office, and it is eminently essential
that the right kind of person be
chosen. The Republican party present
to you the name of d. A. Clemens, of
New Plymouth, and feel assured that
if he sufficiently receive your suffrage
that the schools of Canyon county will
vastly improve under his management.
He is able and educated, having grad
uated from one of the best colleges in
this country. lie is a moral and re-
ligious man and served his apprentice
ship in the schoolroom. A vote cast
for Mr.. Clemens is a vote cast in the
interests of oar schools and the welfare
of our children.

For County Coroner the Republicans
present the name of Alvin BraRthooyer
and feel assured that the voters Of Can
Won county can feel no hesitaDcy about
supporting man of Mr.. BranthooVer's
reputation and ability. He is eminently
qualified for the position in every re-
spect, and is just the man to properly
FIJI the Office of Coroner. He is well
and favorably known throughout the
entire county and held in the highest
esteem by his neighbors and friends lie
the Payette valley. A vote for Mr.
BrapthooVer is cast for man of un-
bIemished character and good ability.

DAVID d. SNITHSON.

That d. E. Smithson will mako an
able and competent Treasurer there is
no question. 1t is true he is n young
man, but it has been quite forcibly
demonstrated upon various occasions
that youth is not a crime, and that
some Of our most notable men made
their regulations while young. Mr..
SmiJhson is enc of the progr> ssive aud
enterprising business men of Emmett
and bears an enviable reputation among
the people of Canyon county for hoL-
esty and upright dealing. He has been
a resident Of this county for Eve years
and has occupied various positions in
the business houses in this city, all of
which he has filled in a creditable man
ner and secured the good will of his en-
pIoyers. He is eminently qualified for
the position and tie taxpayers can rest
assured that the affairs Of the treas
urer's Office will be well looked after in
the hands of Dave Smithson. We be
lieve he is the proper man to elect and
hope the voters will so consider.

voters of Canyon that because Frank j.
Smith is a young man is no reason why
ne should not be elected. He is young,
1t is true, but for young man lie pos
sesses as great law ability as any at.
torney in this section of Idaho.
Mr., Smith graduated in 1889 from the
Law University of Minnesota, and was
admitted to the bar on examination
before graduating, He came to Idaho
III 1890 and located in Caldwell in 1892,
and with the exception of one year
spent in law school at New York city
ne has been resident of Caldwell ever
since. He is at present City Attorney
OF Caldwell, which position he has held
since 1897. He is bright and shrewd.
He is better qualified to fill the Office of
County Attorney than some men who
have twice his years and experience.
He is an exceptional citizen and neigh
Dor, and there is not citizen of Can
yon county but who is pleased to call
Frank j. Smith his friend. lie is old
enough, and the voters of Canyon
county ought not to tolerate any criti
cism of Mr.. Smith on the grounds OF
youthfulness. A man who can conduct
his business as he does and bear such a
reputation among the legal fraternity
is old enough to honorably discharge
the duties of any Office in Canyon
county.

EDWIN g. NETTLETON.

Edwin G. Nettleton, the prominent
and popular lumber dealer of Nampa,
was selected by the Republicans as
their candidate for County Surveyor.
He is an honorable and competent man
and is held in high esteem by the citi-
gems of Canyon county regardless of
political belief. He is worthy the conf
dence and support OF The people of this
county. II elected he will serve the
people honestly and conservatively. MIR,
Nettleton fills the bill in every respect.
Vote for him.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The TRIBUNE is profoundly anxious
to impress on the minds of the taxpay
ers of this county the things that are
vital to their interests. 1t is, of course,
highly important that good men should
be selected for each and every Office, but
that which is of vital interest is the
character Of the men who are to fill the
Office of County Commissioner. The
commissioners hold in their hands the
reigns of government as it were. No
fraud of consequence can be perpe-
trated on the people without their neg
lect, indifference or connivance. With
a board of commissioners alive TO the
interests of the people, six months will
not be spent in a session of the board
to dispose Of three weeks run of bust
ness. With due respect to the present
incumbents of the commissioners Office,
we must say they have needlessly cost
the taxpayers of Canyon county thou.
sands of dollars through pure ignorance.
But it is not our purpose at this time
to cast reflections. The people of Can
yon county are better acquainted with
the high methods of the present
board in the matter of public contracts
and prolonged sessions than we are. We
simply mention these things by way of
illustration and to inforce the precept
that to the taxpayers the most import
ant office in the county is that of COM
missioner.
The Republican party presents for
County Commissioners Mr.. Frank d,
Jordan of Nampa, Mr.. Samuel s. Foote
of Middleton, and Mr.. John Smearage
Of Emmett. These men, each and every
one of them, are well known to the
people of this county. They have the
reputation of being honorable and up
right citizens. You, the taxpayers, know
them and can judge for yourselves. We
do not believe that one Of them coulc
be improperly approached. If elected
they will carefully guard the public in
tere5ts. They viii do exact justice t.
all sections of the county, and have M
pledges 20 make, except to unite on The
proposition of curtailing county ex
penses in every legitimate manner pos
sible within the scope of good govern
ment. If it should be their fortune t.
receive the support of their fellow citi
2ens sufficiently, they will go into oiiict
untTammeled by any promise except t.
serve the public and conserve the coun
tvs welfare.
Taxpayers of Canyon county, VIC asl

If She is to Stand Trial for Murder
1t Must Be in This State.
So Decided by Judges Cook, Wallace, Sea-
we'll, Trout and Borden.
There Also Yet Remains a Question
Whether or Not the Accused
Murderess Of Mrs. Dunning Can
be Legally Held for Trial in
California.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-Mrs.
Cordelia Botkin will not be extradited
to the State of Delaware. If she is to
be tried for the murder of Mrs. John P.
Dunning, the trial will take place in
this State. Such was the conclusion
reached by Superior Judges Cook, Wal
lace, Seawel, Trout and Borden upon
the writ of habeas corpus sued for by
Mrs. Botkin'S attorneys. The decision
was rendered to-day.
There yet remains the question as to
whether or not Mrs. Botkin can legally
be held for trial here, under Section
u of the Penal Code, which gives,
among persons liable to punishment
under the laws of this State "AH per-
sons who commit, in whole or in part,
any crime within this State" Upon
the construction of this section Judgz
Carroll Cook alone will hear argument.
So no final order was made on the writ
to-day, Judge Cook merely ordering
continuance until Saturday.
With regard to the section named,
upon his honor'S decision will rest Mrs.
Botkin's fate, so far as a trial here is
concerned
The five Judges, in holding that Mrs.
Botkln cannot, under the law, be extra
dited, simply decide that the Legisla-
ture has unfortunately omitted to pro-
vide for just such a case as that of
Mrs. Botkin. Under the law, as it now
stands, she is not fugitive from JUS
tlce, having never set foot in the State
OF Delaware, nor is there any way by
which she can be eXtradited. The
Judges say that this omission can be
rectified by Act of Congress. but until
this is done the law must be held to be
defective in this respect
All parties interested were in court
when the decision was given The
opinion of the court was written by
Judge Carroll Cook, and concurred in
by all his associates. Judge Cook read
the decision, which covered fifteen
pages of typewriter matter

the United States Commissioners in
reference to the sales of so-called i'm

claiming the right to such property. A
United States inspector and detective
of the Police Department have been de-

where they were installed this morning.
This afternoon Senior Giranta, Secre-
tary of the Spanish Evacuation Com
mission delivered two notes to the
United States Evacuation Commission
at the Hotel Trocha, Vedado. One gave
the number of Spanish troops who left
Nuevitas by the steamer Miguel Gal
Tart, the other the number of those
who left Gibara by the steamer Mont

ceeded 1000, all of whom were from

Captain Foraker of the United States
Military Commission, who has been suf-
fering for the past few days with Sc
we're indigestion, awoke to-day in very
high fever and the excessive noise at
the headquarters of the commission
made it advisable to find him separate
house at Vadado, in which he will be
moved. DR.. Lame refuses to allow any
body to see the Captain.
