OUR CANDIDATES
Something About the Republican
Standard Bearers.
ARE REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS
Each One Well Or allied to Discharge
the Duties Of Their Respective
Offices.

While the nominees on the repub
lican county ticket do not need any
introduction to the voters of the
valley, yet we believe that few
words concerning the individual
candidates will not be amiss Tha,
the nominees are worthy of the sup
port of every republican in the
county, there is no question.
At the head of the ticket is
William L. Rich Of Paris, who ably
represented the county in the upper
branch of the legislature two years
ago, and who was honored with a
denomination by acclamatlon this
year. Mr.. Rich has long been a
resident of the county and knows
its every need. He is man who Is
the same every day; he is conscien-
tious in all that he does and proved
himself 10 be a hard worker In the
senate two years ago. The expert
ence and knowledge he gained dur
ing the session of the last legisla-
ture will enable him to do better
work at the coming session. He
can be depended upon TO look well
after the interests OF Bear Lake
county, and will cast his vote for
w. X. Boran for United States SEN
ator. If there were no other reason
for supporting the republican nom
inees for the legislature, the one
fact that they are pledged to vote
for Mr.. Borah should be enough to
insure them the vote of every cleo
tor in the county who desires TO see
Fred 7. Dubois retired to private
life.
For representatives, James Red
man of Montpelier and John HI.
Grimmett of Dlngle, are the nomi-
nees and both are sturdy, honorable
and upright men. Both are old
residents of the county and have
large financial interests here. They
will work and vote to carry out
every pledge made by the republi-
can party in its state convention a.
Pocatello and there is not measure
advocated in that platform but what
will result beneficially to the people,
If enacted into laws. They are
pledged to vote for Mr.. Borah for
United States senator and they will
redeem that pledge if sent to the
legislature.
In the person Of William r.
Holmes, the republicans have a can
didate for the important office Of
auditor and clerk of the district
court who is well qualified to dis
charge the duties of that important
Office. He Is a native of Bear Lake
county, and there is scarcely per-
son in the county who does not know
him. For six years he has occupied
the position of cashier at the Short
Line depot in Montpelier. He has
alsb attended to the express business
and during those years thousands of
dollars have passed through his
hands and every cent has been ac
counted for. Never once have the
auditors of the express and railroad
companies, in making their period
ical inspection of the Office, found
anything wrong with bis accounts.
A thorough accountant and good
y2enman, are two essential qualiica.
ytfons tor man to possess who seeks
.the> Office of auditor, and both of
these Mr.. Holmes possesses. He is
seeking the Office for the reason that
he is desirous of betterlng his finan-
cial conditions desire to which all
men aspire. The people of Bear
Lake county can rest assured that
the business of the auditors Office
will be well cared for during the
coming four years,-if entrusted to
DIR. Holmes.
For the Office of assessor and coll
lector the republicans have another
