The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1908-10-15
FOR COUNTY OFFICES :


ticularly affect the mining industr
and while the editor is republican
and has been one for thirteen years
he recognizes that local condition
are separate and apart from nations
affairs and he firmly believes in tn
election OF the best men for count
and city office irrespective of thei
political faith. THE MINER has al
ready announced itself as support
!. er Of James A. Wayne for prosecut
ing attorney, and w. II. Herrick TO
county assessor. 1t is also strongl,
in favor Of Lawrence E. Worstel
for probate Judge and Robert Sterl
ing for county commissioner. Mr.
Worstell has occupied the office fol
one term and his administration has
been above criticism. He is mar
of high legal ability and his dec.s.
sions in the large number of cases
tried in the probate court during
his term have given universal salts
faction. He was paid high com
pliment at the republican county
convention, receiving the nomina-
ton by reclamation in spite Of the
high feeling which existed between
the rival factions of the party. We
believe in the continuance of faith
full officials, particularly in such an
important office as the probate judge
ship and we believe the great ma
jority Of voters will agree with us
that it is not an office to experiment
with unnecessarily. There is a
great volume of detail clerical work
in the probate judges office and the
records as kept by Judge Worstell
show that it would be impossible to
improve on him as the incumbent
and it would be foolish to try.
Democrats and republicans alike
can conscientiously vote for the re-
turn OF this exemplary officer to the
position he is SO ideally filling.
W. H. Herrick has our support
for assessor because he is qualified
in every way to fill the office. Add
ed to good elementary education,
finished with a university course,
he has had the business train .ng and
the knowledge Of mine and general
improvements essential to COM
petent fulfillment of the varied
duties which devolve on that officer.
In his business dealings he has in
variably been straightforward, hon
orable and respected. His occupa-
tons have brought him into contact
with great majority of residents
OF the county and their votes will
be cast for him on election day.
James A. Wayne is assured of an
overwhelming majority for prosecut-
ing attorney. He combines the
highest qualifications for the office
with the charm Of personality which
would get votes for him even if far
less qualified. His record in pri-
vate practice here is one that any
attorney might justly feel proud of.
We honestly believe there is only
one thing to be said about Mr..
Wayne and the office and that is:
The county is to be congratulated
ON having the opportunity to secure
his services in that highly important
office.
There is one more nominee in
whose election we feel particular in
terest. He is man who has al
ready served the county faithfully
and is above criticism. That man
is Robert Sterling, nominated for
county commissioner. The indie
pendent republican voters and
large percentage of the conscientious
democratic voters are particularly
interested in seeing his election.
The Federal company made no at
tempt to defeat his nomination at ,
The county convention, because such
attempt would have resulted in igno-
defeat for them and they
knew it, but that does not prevent
them from getting out and endeav- :
BRING to encompass his defeat at the 4
polls. Here again they will find
