turned to Mr.. SHELTON, and they
made no mistake. The voters are
not going to lose the opportunity y
now given them to elect SO strong a
Board.
Space does not permit us to
mention the several precinct NOM
inees, but all are well known in
their precincts to be we'll qualified
for the offices for which they are
nominated.
The ticket from top to bottom is
composed of clean, able men who
will give Gilmore County the best
administration it has ever had.
And voters, if you want to ever
after have a clear conscience and a
satisfied feeling that you have
done your full duty on the 9Th.

Gle at the head of the Republican
ticket and you will make no mis-

1HE REPUBLICAN fI(KE1

The ticket nominated by the
Republican County convention is
conceded by all, Democrats
as we'll as Republicans, to be one
of the strongest ever nominated by
any party in this county. There
is not weak candidate on the
ticket and the voters of Elmore
county will see to it that everyone
on the ticket is elected.
The legislative ticket is espe-
cially strong:
H. o. MANI
the nominee for Senator needs no
introduction to the people of Ell
more county. Connected with diff
ferent enterprises for the building
up of this country and as one OF
the mem mbers of the Idaho Com
mercial Co., he has won a host of
friends by his affable and genial
manner, while his ability and fit
ness for the place is conceded by
everybody.
VIM. M. PICKRELL
the nominee for Representative is
one of our new citizens from North
Dakota and his nomination is a
proper recognition of that large
and valuable addition to our pop
ulation; the man himself is one of
the most highly respected of that
large number of exceptionally re-
spectacle people, man of educa-
ton, ability and strictest integrity,
a carpenter by trade. He lived in
Mountainhome long enough to
know the needs of the southern end
of the county and for the past
wear has worked in the Atlanta
mines, 80 is we'll acquainted with
the needs of the North as well, and
with Manz and Pickrell in the leg
islature the interests of Elmore
county will be looked after. Be-
sides vote for these two men is
vote for the matchless Borah and
against Duboisism. Nobody ques-
tions that the next legislature will
be Republican and if we send a
Democratic representative they
will be in the minority and can
have no influence for us, while a
Republican representative would
give us a standing whereby our
wants would be recognized.
SAMUEL OLIVER
the nominee for Clerk OF the Dis
trlct Court and Auditor and Re-
corder is eminently qualified for
the position. He lived in Fre-
mont county about six years, came
from there to Glenn's Ferry about
four years ago to fill the position
of book-keeper for one of the prin-
cipal stores there and is now post
master for that town. From boy
hood he has been employed as a
book keeper and in the mercantile
business which eminently fits him
for that important office; genial,
accommodating, and perfectly hon
orable in all his dealings, he will
make one of the best Clerks we
have ever had. So thoroughly do
the opposition realize his strength
that they have already begun to
circulate campaign lies about him
in their desperation to capture
The Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1903-1909, 1906-10-23
this important office.
j. K WINTER

this important office.
J.K WINTER
the nominee for Sheriff has grown
up from boyhood in this state, and
has lived in Elmore county for
the last II years, ard has worked
at mining ever since he was Is
years old. AS deputy sheriff he
hes proven himself one of the
best, most fearless and capable
officers Elmore county ever had
and we believe that service has
been approved by the people, and
that they will testify to this fact
by casting a vote for honest, gen.
ial, capable Joe Winter.
H. HURLBERT
of Glenn's Ferry will make an
ideal Assessor. He has lived in
the county for many years and
has the fullest confidence of every
person who knows him, is we'll ac-
quainted with the property and
property values of the county and
man who verybody knows will
assess the property of the county
fairly without prejudice or favor
itism.
WILL G. sTIMsON
for Probate Judge needs no intro
duction to the people of Elmore
county. His eminent fitness for
that position is known to every
body. 1t is universally conceded
that he has proven to be the best
Probate Judge we have ever had
and the voters are going to say,
"let we'll enough alone" and will
see to it that Judge Stimson sue
ceeds himself.
HOGAN GAINES
the nominee for County Attorney
ia graduate of the Indianapolis
College of Law, with the degree of
Bachelor of Laws, has been in the
law practice about 16 years, and
has already gained considerable
practice since coming to Mountain
home in which he has shown him
self to be an able attorney, and the
county's business will be we'll at
tended to in his hands.
ROSCOE W SMITH
nominee for Treasurer is one OF the
best known men in the county,
having been in business here for
the past seventeen years and be-
ing connected with nearly every
enterprise calculated to build up
the country, his broad mindedness
and public spirit has made him a
universal favorite. He is the able
president of the Mountainhome
Commercial club and as such has
done invaluable service for this
town. He is the present county
treasurer and by his efficiency and
painstaking saved the county
$1O5O on one item alone, nearly
enough to pay his salary for the
two years. He distributed the
county's money he has to hold i'm.
partially among all the banks of
the county and the Herald we'll
saws she is a hard man to beat"
and his election is conceded by dem
Gratis.

Miss Keener will not be able to
canvass the county, owing to the
fact that her services are needed in
her drug store at Mountainhome,
DIR. B. W MATHKR
for coroner is too we'll known to
need any introduction. Having
practiced medicine here for several
years his fitness for the position
and popularity are SO well known
that his election is unquestioned.
CARL MAUGHMER
the nominee for Surveyor is
graduate of the Civil engineering
department of the Wisconsin State
University, and was for several
years a civil engineer on the Great
Northern Railway and was City
engineer for the town of Nampa
for three terms which position he
resigned to take charge of the en-
gineering work for J. H. Garrett
on his enterprises in and about
Mountainhome which position he
has held for the past two years, so
is qualified for the Office. He is
gentlemanly and courteous in his
conduct and wins the friendship
and confidence of all with whom
he has any dealings.
Never before has Elmore county
been given 80 strong Commits
sioner ticket. All three men are
old settlers in the county and per-
fectly familiar with the county 3
needs. All three are heavy tax
payers, so will look carefully after
the county's finances. All three
have been eminently successful in
conducting their own business and
will he equally successful in con.
Quoting the county's bueiness.

and in Elmore county 16 years.

Oregon and Idaho 20 years and in
the cattle business in Elmore

STANFORD RUSHING
SEASON OVER

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. %.
The sowing season of he StanfoI i
sororities, or girls .Frats,v amalga-
mated as the Pan-Hellenic Association,
is over and the harvest in the form of
the most prepossessing freshie girls
is now being gathered. 1t is the social
psychological moment of the college
year. Yesterday the most charming,
winsome. promising girls of the enter
ing class packed their suit cases and
hied themselves down sorority row,
making public profession of the style
of sorority pin they are TO wear hence
forth and of the alluring coterie they
will have officiate as bridesmaids when
the day comes.
There is at Stanford a delicate code
in force among the sororities on the
rushing of freshies." Under the code
the rushing must be done subtly One
sorority can not outbid another by Civ
ing more splendid dance nor a gayer
party. A limit is put on the number
of football heroes which may be in
vited to any one affair by any one
sorority. The panoche and fudge used
as allurements must be concocted after
a certain recipe approved by the board
OF arbitration. This competition with
in the rules continues for three weeks.
Then invitations are sent out to the
girls whom the sororities desire to
chose and the girls selected sort out
their mail, pack their grips and set out
for the house they wish to join.
SO far as is known the various So
rorities have had invitations accepted
as follows: Alpha Phi, three; Kappa
Kappa Gamma. five: Delta Gamma, Eve;
Kappa Alpha Theta, seven; Gamma Phi
Meta, two; Pi Beta Phi, two. Under
the rules of the game the Thetas won
first prize. but there are other entries
pending in some of the sororities and
the percentages may be changed before
the pennant is finally awarded.

OAKLAND. Sept. 2S.-In trying TO
