The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1906-08-25

given such eminent satisfaction that
The County Convention will certainly
demand her denomination. Miss
Bean, alone of all the superintend-
ents of schools, the county has had,
has devoted her time exclusively to
the office. She is a capable, efficient,
land conscientious officer. The Repub-
lican County Convention will not
make the mistake OF naming some
conditions. Two other Offices closely
connected are the county attorney
and probate Judge. The present in
cumbents, Messrs. Van Duyn and
Hagelin are filing their respective
Offices with ability. 1t is not likely
that opposition to either of them will
develop. 1t would be bad mistake
70 elect IA new man for county attor-
ney at this time, and almost as bad
to elect a new man probate judge.
rhe legislative ticket is very import
ant to Canyon County this year.
There is a United States Senator to
he elected, and no doubt, Canyon
County will ask for relief measure.
1t Is essential that broad-minded men
be elected. The Tribune has heard
of only one prospective candidate.
We understand that eX-Commissioner
Nesbitt of Falk's Store is being urged
to go after the nomination Mr..
Nesbitt is well known in the County
and would be elected If nominated
without trouble. The only candidate
that we have heard mentioned for
treasurer is Mr.. j. G. Nichols Mr.
Nichols is popular, capable and hon
est. The treasurer of Canyon Coun-
ty henceforth must be a man who is
willing to devote his time exclusively
to the Office. He must also be a man
capable of keeping the books and
handling the books alone. Mr.. Mich
OILS is certainly good man. For as
SCISSOR two men are mentioned, name
ly, l.. " Patch of Payette and G. A.
Cakes of Caldwell. These men are
both competent and we'll qualified.
1t will likely depend on where the
Office is to go. Should Payette get
it, Mr.. Patch will be the nominee,
and should Caldwell get it, Mr.. Cakes
will be. The people of the county
are assured in either event of
good man. For sheriff, Messrs. j.
w. Watkins, f. l.. Payne and Col.
Young are spoken of. Mr.. Watkins,
the present assessor of Canyon Coun-
ty has had two years experience as
sheriff, which should be of use to the
county and to himself. Mr.. Watkins
tilled the Office very creditably before
and would no doubt do better again.
Mr.. Payne has also had experience
and is a capable officer. One handi-
cap that he has is his residence. Mr..
Payne lives in Caldwell and Caldwell
Is always so prolific in candidates
that this alone may defeat him. We
know of no other opposition of con-
sequence. Mr.. Tucker, the present
clerk of the district court, seems to
have no opposition for a re-nomina-
ton. Whatever else may be said, Mr..
Tucker is certainly an efficient officer.
lie has proved the best qualified man
Canyon County has had in the clerks
1ffice. He comes from Lower Boise
and his residence in Caldwell during
the past four years has won him
much support here. 1t will take a
very strong man to defeat him. He
has also had the experience and
should be even better officer in the
future than in the past. In looking
over the situation, The Tribune at
this time can suggest no changes.
If any candidates come forward we
will give them such favorable men,
ton as the candidate merits. We are
not trying to name or suggest a tick
ct, but simply to give actual facts
without prejudice or bias. The men
named above are good men, good Re-
publicans and good officers. Others
may come forward as convention time
approaches.
