tried for it. Mr.. Brady is a man OF
ample means, which he has ac.
quired right here through strict at
tention to business and square deal
ing, these facts and his unques-
toned fitness for the position assur-
ing his election beyond the perad-
venture of doubt.
Dan McLaughlin-Dan, who
made the famous race two years
ago and ran so far away from his
Republican competitor that the dust
still obscures the track from the
latter's vision-is again the Demo-
cratic standard-bearer for the office
OF county attorney. As before. the
only question now is, how much of
majority will satisfy Dan? Two
years ago it reached 225, his major
ity being within two of the total
vote cast for his Republican op-
ponent. Whether Dan will be so
unfeeling this time or not depends
largely upon himself.
Two years ago Mrs. Lille B.
Wertz, the present county school
superintendent, ran successfully
under conditions that were most
discouraging. The convention NOM
inee at the last moment withdrew,
and the name of Mrs. Wertz failed to
appear on the ticket, yet despite
this gigantic handicap, she received
a sufficient number of votes to Sc
cure the office, loyalty of the intel
ligent voters responding nobly to
appeals to Illustrate the aim of the
opposition to compass her defeat.
Throughout the county the rank
and file were instructed to substi-
tute in writing the name of Mrs.
Wertz for that of the convention
nominee and so we'll was the ad-
monition needed that she was
elected to the office she has so ably
filled for the past two years by a
safe majority. And it is perfectly
safe prediction to forecast similar
result this year, with the addition
of much greater majority
Samuel g. Rhoades, for county
surveyor, just can't be beat. He is
there now and will be there after
November Sth, and the powers of
darkness can not prevail against
him. Samuel G. knows it; his par
ty, who would have no other, know
it, and the enemy, though they
would have it otherwise, can't help
themselves and bow to the inevita-

Hon, Henry Willis is the candi-
date of the Democracy for commiss-
ioner from the second district. Two
years ago Mr.. Willis was elected
representative Of this county to the
legislature, and while there was the
framer of one of the best laws ever
enacted in the state of Idaho-mak-
ing the issuance of checks without
funds to protect the same punish
able by a severe penalty Mr.. Will
lis thus proved himself to be one of
the very best friends the working
man could possibly have, because
unfortunately they were the almost
sole victims of such practices, and
Mr.. Willis determined to put a per-
iod this form of crime; and he sue

Wash Elliott, the candidate for
commissioner from the first district,
was member of the board which
went out of Office two years ago. At
that time Wash was by some ac-
counted crank on good roads, but
his crankiness was of the right sort.
for it took the form Of compelling
contractors to keep up the roads
Some of them took offense at him
for doing his duty, but now these
are the men clamoring for " ash's
return. So, you see, Wash's record
in the past is the kind that, when
put to the test, stands And now
it is only a little while until Wash
is back where he belongs and where

to come, as he deserves to.
Sam Galloway, successful eheep-

for commissioner from the third
district. Sam has more experience
