public welfare as strictly as he does
OF his own and that is saving a
good deal. We should vote for
hlm~not because we like him b,,t
because it is patriotic duty to do
SO. d. W. Standrod will make a
good governor iii every sense of the
word. What more need be said.
We do not know much about
Judge Steele, but those who do have
a great deal of admiration for him
and it is our experience that a man
must be possessed of superior quail
tiles If his best friends speak we'll
OF him in private.
Mart Patrie has all the points of
a rattling good man, and will do to
tie to. The reason he is not loved
by politicians is that he can play
them at their own game and win
OUT every time. That is why you
hear them alluding to him as con-
slant office seeker and trickster.
Mr.. Patrie is just little shrewder
and altogether a squarer man than
his traducers.
Geo. F. Gray has not yet ac-
quired political reputation of di-
mensions. They say he was once
Democrat, but according to all ac-
counts that was when he was very
young and lived in Boise. At that
particular period of Inaho's history
it was only a mistake not crime
to be a Democrat. He, like one or
two others we have heard alluded
to, stampeded in 1896, but who
now cares anything about that.
Mr.. Gray is now a sober, studious,
careful lawyer. In the last five
years he has developed and expand
ed in every desirable direction. lie
is we'll qualified to fill the office for
which he has been named. There
is no reason why he should not be
elected.
Harry Syms is all right too. He
can do the work Of State Auditor
as we'll as anybody. He has
fought for the flag and helped to
plant it in distant lands. We might
write a column about his virtues
where we couldn't fiji a stick with
his vices.
We do not know the first thing
about Jessie Riley, but she is the
daughter of a veteran of the Civil
war, and we are going to vote the
whole family for her.
Robert Bell is. a young man who
bears upon his countenance the i'm
print of honesty and ability. We
wanted to nominate for Mine In
spector, Mr.. Perrine of Shoshone
county, but the majority would not
let us, and possibly we have nc
just complaint. We will be with
the majority at the election so as
to even things up little.
There is A. A. Crane, too. Ur
in Kootenai county lot ofpolitica'
anarchists hung him in effigy be
cause he refused to join the Du
bois ghost dancers, but he was i'm
mediately born again and the sigh
of him is a constant irritation to the
aforementioned dynamiters. He i
a tall, handsome man, of good abil
ity and has no bad places in hi
make UP except the cane habit
which he contracted for business
AS Lieutenant Governor, Mr.. Gran
will do first class.
Now, we almost let George W
A Kester, the State Treasurer, escape
. George is an ideal young man, an
: won the plaudits of the State Cor
vention by the neat manner /
which he thanked it for honors cor
4 ferred. We expect to vote tor MI
It Kester at least once.
