Continued from Page 7. Ha
All Idahoans will recall Mr. jackson the chief clerk
of the Land Office under the the late administration and
as who did things while in office, and who laid
down his trust recently withoutthe slightest faint his
official name. His record indeed of enviable
efficiency fearlessness and aggessvely honest service
because of the signal service he has already rendered
the state, and his preemnent fitness for the office of
State immigration commissioner he is the choice of
few leading republicans in all parts of Idaho for this i'm
portan post and he has the enthusiastic endorsement of
the central committee of his home county for the Office
The most noteworthy claims urged by the friends of Mr.
jackson for his appointment immigration Commissioner
that he is probably familiar with the
and overlooked opportunities of Idaho than any other
citizen in the state because of his two years of
study its entire domain in the official capacity he
has just resigned and because his lifetime training
journalist would at enable him to anticipate and

would naturally ask about the state

Record paper that is recognized as having been the
seed start of effective republican organization in Wash

in 1891 The office of chief clerk the Land Office is
the first political trust that he has held But he
has taken lively interest in politics and has always done
yeoman work for his party. He is member of the
Republican State Central committee. Mr. Jackson was
loyal in fiber of his being Governor Morrison
but he gracefully bowed to the decree of the Lewiston
convention for his allegiance to his party was greater
than to individual member it, and he stripped his
coat and worked strenuously for the crown of victory
his party in the late election.
