Every democrat can vote his
ticket straight, if he wishes to
do so, and yet cast a vote for ].
F. Ailshie for supreme justice.
In voting a straight ticket he
can mark an x in the large circle
at the head of his ticket and
then mark an x in the circle OPP
posite Mr.. Ailshie's name on the
republican ticket, as the demo-
cratic ticket has no candidate to
oppose Mr.. Ailshie. This will
give our chef justice vote and
will not harm the straight"
voter either. Every voter of
Idaho county can well be proud
of the high position to which a
citizen of this county has been
raised and all should assist in re-
turning Mr.. Ailshie to Office this
fail with an extra large vote.
He deserves it.

In spite of his name, Moses
Alexander is going to make a
strong race for governor of Ida
no. His record as city mayor of
Boise is all to the good and he is
known to be a thorough business
man. Brady's railroad record is
against him and there are also
several pages in his private his
tory that need careful explain
ing. Most people are opposed to
putting a corporation attorney
into such a high position and
these facts all count for Alex
ander. The sore heads" in the
Dubois ranks may encompass
Alexander's defeat, but other
wise he stands a fine chance of
being elected.

The CHRONICLE takes pleasure
this week in introducing to its
readers Professor P. NJ. Clan
vile, republican candidate for
county school superintendent,
whose picture appears above.
Mr.. Granville is we'll known in
Idaho county because of the eX-
cellent work he accomplished
during the six years he was SUI
perintendent of the Grangeville
city schools. During that time
he classified and graded the
school and built it up to such a
standard that it was placed on
the accredited list Of the Univer-
sity Of Idaho and the Washing
ton State College.
Mr.. Granville is graduate of
the Michigan state normal school
and was at one time a member
of the Board of School EXami-
ners of Newaygo County, Michi-

j. M. Gilmore, republican NOM
inee for prosecuting attorney,
stands for the enforcement af all
laws alike, both great and small,
and if elected, promises to see
that the Sunday closing, gamb-
ling and other small laws are en-
forced as vigorously as are those
against murder, theft and arson.
Mr.. Gilmore is a young man with
a name to make for himself and
it might be a good policy to give
him a chance to show what he
can do. A new broom often
sweeps pretty clean.

work since coming to Idaho

He is directly responsible for the

give Idaho county the same ex-

What Cottonwood is sadly in
need of just now is a good
hotel-one that is amply suf-
ficient to handle the large trade
of that kind that the town is
bound to enjoy in future. The
accommodations at present for
the travelling public-while the
best that can be had-are insult
ficient and very unsatisfactory
and unless something is done
soon to alter existing conditions
the town will get a bad name
that will be hard to remove later.
If there are no individuals in
shape to put up a good hotel
why not form a stock company
and put up a good building and
lease it to a first class hotel man
for a period of several years.
When the building is once ready
there will be no difficulty in get
ting people to run it. The prop
osition would pay good interest
on the investment, also, besides
being of untold benefit to the
town.

is the proper man for sheriff of

UMPIRES RUB
LEMON ON LOCALS

Wilmington baseball fans certainly re-
eeived crate Of lemons yesterday when
Umpires Walker and Mullen appeared at
South Side Park to offciate the game
between Wilmington and Altoona one
umpire would have been bad enough, no
matter which one OF the two. based on
yesterdays performances, should have been
selected. But the two were a comblna-
tion that it would be hard to beat for
throwing the hook into a team such as
Wilmington was jabbed. Wilmington was
deprived Of much it deserved by the de-
cisions OF these two stars Of President
Carpenters stan. and on the contrary
they rubbed the lemon over the local
team time and again. Both figured in
these 'phony decisions. and for a time it
looked as II the crowd might crawl over
the fence after Mullen.
Incidentally. It demonstrated the vag-
aries of the double umpire system. IN tue
NTH inning Wilmington was at bat and
Scott was on first base. The next hit
ter was Catiz. A ball pitched by Root. Of
Altoona. struck the bat Of Catiz as it was
poised over his shoulder. The ball rolled
fair, but Catiz didn't know where It had
gone, as he did not try to hit It. and
when Umpire Walker called 1t fair after
an instant or two Catiz started for frst
base. Meanwhile Pitcher Root ran over,
got the ball not far from the home plate,
and was about to throw Il TO first as
Catiz raced down toward that base. Roots
hand struck Catiz as he tried to throw
and the ball went rolling along the
ground. Catiz made first and Scott reach
ed second base. Umpire Mullen called
Catiz out for interference and directed
Scott to return 70 first base. Umpire
Walker, who had called the ball fair and
was only few yards away from where
Pitcher Root and Catiz collided, did not
open his mouth when Umpire Mullen
called Catiz out. Catiz and Scott refused
to leave the bases. and the crowd clam
ored to Walker to show his fairness by
deciding the play in question. Walker did
not open his mouth, and II was only after
Umpire Mullen had pulled out his watch
and threatened to call the game that
Catz. amid the protests OF the crowd.
walked from first base TO the bench and
Scott returned to first base. There were
many other bad decisions. too. practically
all against Wilmington. that have lowered
Walker and Mullen in the estimation Of
Wilmington fans.

KING OF TROTTING
STALLIONS SOLD TO RUSSIA

Cresceus, the worlds champion trot-
ting stallion, was sold to Russia for
$4,000 and will be shipped to Russia
within the next two weeks
Russia's desire is to introduce the
best American harness horse blood
into their racing stock.
Among the worlds famous horses
there is none better known or who has
more justly won his laurels. The story
of Cresceus, 2.02 IA, is the story of a
wonderful horse. Foaled in the spring
OF 1894 on the Ketcham farm. near
Toledo, o., Cresceus did not have a
happy colthood. The big. awkward
sorrel youngster was not much thought
of, and once when he was sick George
Ketchum ordered him killed. Fate
busted the trainer, and the task that
would have robbed the world OF a
champion was neglected. The colt re-
covered, and it's owner soon became
glad that he had been disobeyed.
For six years he battled on race
tracks all over the country and every
where demonstrated his superiority to
all comers, including such famous trot-
tiers as Dare Devil, Tommy Britton.

cacleled away to the coop" commonly

behind them a trail marked by eight

was two-spot on the scratching ground.
Jerry Nops was in the box for the LIZ

Wilmington, the result being that his

at times when bingoes we're needed and
they were compelled TO take to the tall

by Manager Waller. was on the mound

game while away, having won three out
OF the four games played. They succeeded
in breaking the winning streak of Eliza
