TAFT, THE MAN.

The question going around of late
as to who is safe man for the pres
ldency is about as easily and quickly
answered by the average voter as the
time-worm problem of q and 2
makes A. is solved by the modern
schoolboy. VIM. H. Taft is the
safest and best man, for it is conceded
that he is better equipped for the job
of the nation chief executive officer
than any man who has been nominal
ed by either party since the days of
Abraham Lincoln and his policies.
Bryan, thrice candidate and twice
defeated-with excellent prospects
for the third successive loss, the
continual candidate, the man who
sloganizeS the phrase that the people
shall rule and then expects and will
pose as the people, the politician who
matches new issues for each campaign
from the simple and universally evil
dent fact that planks upon which he
stood in previous campaigns have
proven miserable failures, is meeting
with receptions and reports from all
the country that are none too welcom-
ing nor encouraging as the voters
emphasize their satisfaction with re-
publican administrations of the past
and their willingness to again trust
the nations affairs in the keeping of
the grand old party. Bryan was
wrong on the money question. His
issue of imperialism was 6asco and
he has buried it underneath later evo-
lutions of his political scheming. He
was instrumental in framing the Will
son-Gorman tariff bill that proved
such failure and he is again wrong
ON the tariff question His idea of
government ownership of railroads
meets with little accord and the
chances of success in the present
campaign for the great "commoner"
the man whose candidacy is perpetual
but whose issues never survive one
severe test, seem poorer than ever.

to which he aspires. John f. Jaques
was once before probate judge and
made an excellent record. His cleo
ton would be one of the best pieces
of work the voters could do at the
polls. The party could not have
selected a better candidate for county
superintendent of public instruction
than p. M. Granville His experience
as an instructor in the local schools
and his record as an able educational
worker forcibly commend him for the
position. The strength of the three
candidates for commissioner cannot
be overeStimated. They are Messrs.
Charles M. Butler, Herman Won
Bargen and Charles Bentz. All are
citizens of long residence in this
county who know its needs and de-
Sires.
Voters of the county who heard, at
the time of the nominating convention,
that an especially strong ticket had
been chosen by the republicans are
realizing the complete truthfulness of
the report as the candidates canvass
the county and meet the people face
to face. The candidates are all
square, earnest and energetic men.

MAKING GOOD WITH THE MASSES

Candidates on the republican coun-
ty ticket who have been campaigning
over the county have created very
favorable impressions upon the voters
of the precincts in which they have
held meetings and every indication
points to gratifying results for the
ticket week from next Tuesday.
Reports come from all over the
county testifying to the popularity
which the republican state legislative
ticket enjoys ]. G. Rowton, for
state senator, stands on his former
record as a law-maker at Boise and
also upon his reputation as a citizen
of the county. Messrs. c. A. Par
sons, James Woodward and John R.
Addison are all men of years of ex-
perience and mature judgement and
the people realize that a vote for these
gentlemen will assist in the selection
of men fully competent to look after
Idaho county's interests at the capitol
city. John E. Byron, for sheriff and
]. M. Gilmore, the next prosecuting
attorney, are making more friends
every day as they visit different sec
tons. They form a strong team to
rightfully adjust all lawless disturbances
that may arise in the county. Frank
Rice candidate for treasurer, Z. c..
Spedden, surveyor and II. B. Blake,
for coroner, were all re-nominated
and their chances for another term
are considered the best ever. Fred
b. Mckinney, the party's candidate
for county assessor, is well known as
a bright young man of several years
business experience who is well quail
fed to handle the affairs of the Office
The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1908-10-21
GOOD MAN FOR ASSESSOR.
Fred B. Mckinney Republican Candidate,
Well Qualified for Office.

When the republicans of the coun-
ty convened in this city in September
to nominate county ticket they at
tended to most wise and commend
able move in the selection of Fred B.
Mckinney, of Cottonwood, for the
party's candidate for county assessor.
A better man for the Office could not
be found in the republican ranks of
the county. He is energetic, honest
and painstaking as his record as a
bookkeeper with several well known
Idaho county business firms will testify.
He has large acquaintance over the
county and all who know him regard
him as most suitable to look after the
affairs at the assessor Office.
Mr.. Mckinney has resided in the
county for the past ten years. He
attended the local schools and was a
member of the class which graduated
in 1901. He completed his education
with course in college at Pullman,
Washington. Voters will do well to

The CALL is MADE
The Democratic City Township
Committee Decides on Pri-
mary and Convention.
FOR EARLY ACTON THIS YEAR
Believe in Making a Good Start and
With Strong Candidates All
Along the Line.

The democratic city-toWnship com
mittee last evening at the meeting
held at the Turner hail. decided to
have democratic candidates first in
the field in the city and township cleo
ton, and accordingly the committee
set the date of the primaries as Sat
urday of this week, between and s
O'Clock. The convention was set for
Tuesday, March 10, at o'clock
There was a representation of every
ward when the meeting was called t.
order by Chairman Joseph Grotegut
The calPwas read by Secretary r. w.
Lamont, and the purpose of the meet.
ing briefly explained by the chairman.
For Early Primary.
The early primary idea carried after
brief discussion The usual form OF
primary will be held and will be in
charge of the committeeman of tn,
different wards. The voting will be
to nominate candidates for aldermen
select delegates to the city township
convention, and name the ward com.
mitteemen.
The chairman and secretary were
instructed to make necessary arrange
ments aud give notice of the primary
and convention.
Candidates Discussed.
When the formal business of the
meeting was disposed of. a little dis
cussion of possible aldermanic can
didates was INDUCED in. The alder
men whose terms expire are: First
ward, Allen Pratt, republican: Second
ward. Charles Oberg, republican
Third ward. Charles Smith. democrat
Fourth ward, R. C. Benson, republi
can: Fifth ward, G. L. Schmid. repub
lican; Sixth ward, Frank Lawler. dem
ocrat; Seventh ward, A. G. Anderson
republican
With the exception of Alderman
Anderson, it is likely that all of the
retiring republican aldermen will be
candidates for denomination. Alder
men Smith ard Lawler will probably
be the democratic nominees in the
Third and Sixth wards respectively
and in all of the other wards there
are strong democrats, who if they are
named as the party's candidates for
aldermen. will be able to make a sue
cessful fight for the place.
