In selecting candidates for tn
board OF county commissioners, i
ia the duty of those 20 whom tha
power is delegated to see that tn,
very best men possible are placed il
nomination for that Office, for tn,
commissioners, are the officers te
whom are entrusted the management,
of the county's affairs. They should
be men who are progressive, ye,
conservative i'll all that they do.
They should be fair and impartial
in all of their official transactions.
They should be men who scrutinize
carefully all bills against the coun-
ty, for you know there are those
who have no scruples when 1t comes
to charging for work done for the
county, and if board of commits
sioners Is composed of men who are
not honest or who pass lightly over
the bills and the reports of othe,
county officers, county can soon
be plunged into debt. Most of the
duties of the other officials are pre-
scribed by statute, but the commis
sloners are confronted, at every ses-
sion, with questions for W h ch there
is no law TO govern their az attions,
and it is therefore essential that they
should be men of sound judgment,
and capable of determining what is
for the best interests Of the public.
That the present board of COM
missioners is composed of the kind
of men we have referred to, no one
will deny 1t Is true, they have not
pleased everybody, but that is an
impossibillty. They have, however,
given the county an administrator
so clean and business-l;ke that even
the opposition party has no fault to
find.
The republicans have presented
to the people of Bear Lake county
this year three men for commission
ers who are capable of continuing
the thoroughly business-like admin.
lstratlon of the present board. They
are Louis B. Leverich OF George
town, Samuel E. Hymas of Sharon
and Edgar M. Alfred of St. Charles.
The latter is now a member of tn.
board and tie only one who sought
denomination for that Office.
Mr.. Leverich has been resident
of the county for 90 years. He is
one of our most successful farmers
md being heavy taxpayer he could
ne relied upon to at all times be
conservative IN the expenditure of
he public funds. Having made
success in the management of his
own business, it goes without saying
that he would be able to sue .essfully
handle the affairs of the county.
Samuel E. Hymas, the nominee
from the Second district, is native
# the county, and successful
farmer. He is held In the highes,
esteem by the people of his com
nunlty, and possesses all the traits
essential for the making of an AL
commissioner.
Mr.. Allred's record during the
,ast two years speaks for itself, and
lis past experience will enable him
to serve the county even better dur
ing the next two years.
We can assure the people that IN
casting their votes for these three
men on Nov. 9Th, they will never
have cause to regret it.
David c. Kunz, the republican
nominee for probate Judge is the
present incumbent of that office.
That his services have been entirel,
satisfactory to the people is evi.
denced by the fact that he was en-
iorsed by the opposition party in il,
mass convention. Having no oppo-
sition, his election Is absolutely GER
tain, and for the next two years he
will continue to discharge the duties
of tn Office III fair, honest and
