snow, has suddenly flooded great portion
OF Latah county. Idaho.
Damage Reaches Million.
Last evening, without warning. the Pot
latch river and its tributaries were trans
formed into raging torrents, flooding towns
and farms along its course and causing
a damage already estimated at million
dollars. So rapidly was the rise of the

There is scarcely room for
comparison between the leg
islative ability of Hon. Lot
Ravenscraft, of Clark county,
the fusion nominee for state
senator and that of T. A.
Noftzger, of Anthony, the re-
publican nominee. Ravens
craft has served four years in
the legislature as represent
alive from Clark county, and
was one of the leaders of the
lower house. He has made
many hard fights for meas
ures benefiting farmers and
stockmen and was successful
in securing the passage of
many of them. He is in close
touch with the people of the
district, in which respect he
has a great advantage over
the republican candidate.
Ravenscraft is one of the sub
stantial cattlemen of western
Kansas and a business man all
over. Noftzger is an ordinary
lawyer and has nothing in
common with the people. He
is a fair schemer, but has
none of the qualities requir-
ed in a wide awake legislator.
Men who have the best inter
ests of the people of the dis
trict at heart will vote for Lot
Ravenscraft regardless of pol
itics.

When the fusion conven-
tions are considering the mer-
its of the various candidates
next Saturday, the claims that
the friends Of all of them pre-.
sent should be given due
weight. 1t has been suggest.
ed to us by several of L. c..
COTS friends that their
claims are often overlooked
on account of his location.
We do not think such is the
case, at least it is not so with
the peoples party. It is con-
coded by all Populists in Bar.
Der county that there is no
man in the ranks who is more
meritorious than Mr.. Golf.
Our individual knowledge of
what he has done prompts us
to say that the party does
not contain a man who has
sacrificedmore to promote the
party's interest and it can not
be said that he ever wavered
when the fight was on. His
friends are right when they
say he should be rewarded
and we believe the party will
see that he 81 rewarded for
his labor. The INDEX would
be glad to support Mr.. Golf
for any position to which the
party may call him.
