The office of Sheriff is highly i'm
portant one to be filed. The taxpayers
should make it a point to see that only
a good and competent man be elected,
The Republicans of Canyon county
made a wise selection when they placed
Dan Campbell on their ticket for this
position. Dan Campbell is staUach
Republican, good citizen and one Of
the best known and we'll liked men in
all of Canyon county, Mr.. Campbell
was not selected rs the Republican
nominee because in some past party
deal he had been left out and was dis
tressiug the air with his walls, He was
selected because he was the right man
for the place and on account of past
service in the office. lie is man of
natural executive ability; has the con-
Gdence and esteem of everybody; is
well and favorably known to every citi-
zen in the county and his past record as
public officer is The best Of any this
county has ever produced. Dan CAMP
bell is an honorable, upright man, who
will conserve the peace aud maintain
the law upon all occasions. Every lover
of law and order will certainly helE
elect Dan Campbell. 1t would be a ca
lamity to defeat him. A good sheriff
will save the taxpayers many thoueand'
of dollars in the course of a year; a baC
one will cost them an equal sum. There
if only one real good candidate in the
field for sheriff this season and that il
Dan Campbell. Keep it in mind OF

Among the best and most faYorably

Maxey, the Republican candidate for
Representative. Mr.. Maxey is by all
odds the better qualified for this import

it will be well for the voters of this
county to investigate into the merits Of
aspirants for Representative before
voting against Mr.. Maxey. He is an
old soldier and one of the most Teputa-

The Republican party Of this county,
with an eye single to the welfare of the
people, have this year placed upon their
ticket for the high and important posi-
lion of Representative a man who COM
mands the confidence and respect Of
every citizen in the County-a mar
of unblemished character, exceptional
ability and sound integrity. Russell NJ.
Smith is pre-eminently the man to rep
resent Canyon county in the lower
house of the Idaho State Legislature,
He is hard handed farmer and a good
business man, and is one of the best
men in the county for the county and
its people. He comes from the taxpay-

bone Of our common country the
farmers. He realizes the wants Of the

secure them. lie knows the dangers
which beset the people and will safe
guard the peoples interests. A sensi
bic, honest, manly man is Mr. Smith
and every good citizen should vote fol
him,
