Democratic Co. Candidates,

OemOCratlC Co. Candidates.
The democratic candidate for
sheriff is James M. Dixon, one of
the successful farmers and big
tax payers of the Cottonwood side
of the prairie. Mr.. Dixon has re-
sided in this county for a great
many years and will make a good
officer, as he is not only success
full farmer and business man, but
has been tried in the official
capacity Of constable of Cotton
wood precinct for several terms,
notably during the boom days of
that thriving town in 1891, when
it was filled with hard characters
and tough cases. In doing his
duty in that subordinate Office Mr..
Dixon won host of friends who
have ever since been pressing his
nomination for the shrievalty, and
when a mans immediate friends
and neighbors speak well of him
and do earnest work to advance
his political interests, it is a safe
proposition that such a man has
good leather in him, and that he
is q safe man to tie up to in any
position in which he may be
placed. Mr.. Dixon's friends state
that he will receive q very large
vote ON the west side of the prairie
and all through the reservation
precincts, where be is best known
and they regard his election as q
settled fact.
For county treasurer the familiar
name of George M. Robertson
again greets the eyes Of the voters
OF Idaho county. For three terms
in succession Mr.. Robertson hal
been nominated for this importan,
office, and his majorities next fall
will exceed the figures which hi
has heretofore recaived. Quiet

unassuming and honest as the day,
Mr.. Robertson is one Of the most
popular men in the county, and
the way in which he conducts his
office, his immaculate bookkeeping
and never failing courtesy has
increased the host of his admirers
and supporters. The democracy
made no mistake when they put
George NJ. Robertson on the
ticket.
For superintendent of schools
another popular official incumbent
was renominated by acclamation,
Louis Elsensohn. During his
incumbency for the past two years
Mr.. Elsensohn has filled the Office
with q diligence which has created
for him q vast number of admirers
and supporters who believe that
this is one Of the county Offices
into which partisan politics should
not be allowed to enter, and
recognizing Mr.. Elsensohn's pre-
eminent fitness for the position
will endorse and sustain him at
the polls. During his term he has
visited all the schools in the county
as the law requires, and has been
of great assistance in helping the
trustees Of the several districts to
advance the interests Of the public
school system in this county.
But strong as the democratic
ticket is in the personnel Of its
candidates for the administrative
Offices, it is practically impregnable
in the character Of its candidates
for county commissioners.
For the first district the nominee
is H. T. Dizney, one Of the largest
and most successful farmers in the
Kamiah country on the newly
opened reservation, where he has
q we'll improved farm which
attests his ability, industry and
progressiveness. In the conven-
tion Mr.. Dizney had one competi-
tor, himslf one Of the strongest
men in the county, Walter 8.
Clark, Of Clearwater, and in the
caucus Of the precincts comprising
the first commissioners district,
Mr.. Dizney outvoted Mr.. Clark,
and it is needless to state that he
must be in mighty good standing
to defeat such q formidable COM
petitor az Walter Clark. Mr..
Dizney is all right and will receive
q big vote on the reservation where
his reputation as . careful and
essentially conservative, yet pro-
greseive citizen, is better known
than in this immediate section.
For the second district no more
careful, conservative and cautious
business man could have been
selected than II. 81. Nuxoll. &

A SMALL BLAzE:-The fire de-
partment was called out about six
O'Clock Friday evening to put out
q fire in Sherwin Bros. hay sheds
at the residence of P. E. Sherwin.
The boys responded promptly but
the hay being baled, the fire had
spread through the stack and it
required considerable time and
hard work before it was exiting
uished. The origin of the fire is
not known, but is supposed to
have started from matches or Gig
arettes left by number of small
boys who were in the habit of play
ing there. There were about So
tons of hay in the shed, all OF which
was more or less damaged, and
will entail a loss Of about 5000

A Card to the Public.

With this issue I retire from the
Free Press, having sold the plant,
goodwill, business and book
accounts to Mr.. Elmer McBroom,
late business manager Of the
"Review", published at Roseburg,
Douglas county, Oregon, who now
assumes the entire charge of the
paper and it's business.
Mr.. McBroom comes with tho
very highest references as to his
character, standing and general
ability. as q successful newspaper
man, and l turn the FREE Press
over to him in the confident assur.
ance that he will maintain the high
standard on which the paper has
been maintained during my owner
ship, and solicit for my successor
the same liberal patronage which
has been SO freely bestowed upon
the paper in the past.
l retire with regret, aud only do
so through the long felt need Of a
rest. l have had several oppor-
tunities in the past two years to
sell the paper, but was never
wholly satisfied with the parties
who wished to purchase. Mr..
McBroom fills the bill, and the
public will have no reason to
regret the change of management.
My home will still be in growing
Grangeville. My property inter-
ests are all here and hereafter as
in the past l shall be found ut all
times ready and willing to cooper
ate with my fellow citizens in
every movement calculated to help
Idaho county and growing
Grangeville.
With heartfelt thanks to the
public, who have always sustained
the old reliable FREE PRESS by
their patronage, 1 now retire to
private life. Respectfully,
A. F. PARKER.
In assuming the management of
the FREE PRESS we recognize the
high standing it has attained
among the newspapers Of the state
under the able direction of Hon.
a. F. Parker, and our best effor ts
shall be put forth to maintain this
position and continue to make it
the leading paper of central Idaho.
1t shall be our aim to lend every
assistance possible in the develop.
ment of the resources of this
section, and the promotion of
legitimate enterprises which will
tend to benefit Idaho county and
Grangeville. In fact, the FREE
Press will continue to be bright,
newsy and reliable, and we hope
to merit a continuance of the same
liberal patronage it has enjoyed in
the past.
