We most prominent literary men Of
Spain. Some OF the speakers declared
that the Republican movement, in
which salmeronu was leader, will

SKETCH OF COLONEL THOMAS r
HAMER.

Colonel Thomas r. Hamer, Repub-
lican candidate for congress, is by
birth and training fitted for a public
career and has already demonstrated
to marked degree his capacity for
the duties he will be called upon to
perform in the lower house of the
national legislature. He comes from
a long line of soldiers and statesmen
and has himself rendered conspicu-
GUS service to this country in the line
of military duty, while he possesses
all of those qualifications which
make for leadership in government
affairs. He is a lawyer of ability, a
natural orator with a rare gift OF
presenting his facts In a manner at
once pleasing and convincing, and
has a charm of personality which
wins friends for him.
Colonel Hamer was born at Yer
mont, ILL.,, May 4, 1854. He was
educated in the high school of his
native town, at Hedding college, and
the Bloomington law school. He en-
tered upon the practice Of law in his
twenty-first year, and removed to st.
Anthony in this state 16 years ago,
where he opened law office and
has been engaged successfully ever
since with the exception of three
years which he spent in the volun-
teer army of the United States in the
Spanish war He was a
member of the Idaho legislature In
1897, demonstrating at that time his
peculiar fitness for the public service
in the lawmaking branch, and en-
listed as a private in Company E OF
the First Idaho Volunteers the fol-
lowing year, 1898, when the war with
Spain began. He was later commits
stoned a captain of that company by
the late Governor Steunenberg and
embarked with his regiment for the
Philippines I'M June, 1898, arriving In
time to participate in the capture OF
Manila.
After the surrender of the Spanish
army, Colonel Hamer was appointed
provost judge of the city Of Manila
by General Merit, then in command.
He was wounded at the battle of Ca
loochan and, for his gallantry and eff
ficiency, was promoted to the lieu
tenant-colonelcy of his regiment.
While yet in the hospital at Manila
on account of his wound, he was APP
pointed to the command of the mill
tary district of Cuba and was made
military governor of that island by
General Otis. AS soon as he was
able to travel he embarked for Cuba

SKETCH OF LIFE OF LEWIS II
SWEETSER.

In selecting a candidate for lieu
tenant-governor the delegates to the
Republican state convention deter
mined upon man of such breadth
and educational attainments as will
insure to the state an able executive,
should fate call him to the governors
chair, and one who could perform his
duties as presiding officer of the state
senate with credit to himself and to
that body.
Lewis II. Sweetser was born in San
Francisco, January 10, 1868. In the
year 1871 his parents brought him to
Idaho, where his father, Andrew |.
Sweetser, had a cattle ranch on Raft
river. Four years later he was taken
back to California. He attended the
University of California and later
took course in dynamic engineering
at Yale University, from which insti
tuition he was graduated in 1889 with
the degree of Phi. B. In the fall of
1899 he returned to Idaho and In
1890 went into the cattle business
with II. S. Burroughs in Cassia conn
ty. Mr.. Sweetser was also Interested
in two extensive gold dredging plants
operating In Snake river between
STAIRS ferry and the mouth of Raft
river. More recently, he has been
heavily engaged in the sheep bust
ness, summering at Soda Springs and
wintering in the Raft River valley.
He now has homestead on the Mini
doka government irrigation project
and an interest in one Of the best
large farms In the state. in the lower
Raft River valley.
Mr.. Sweetser cast his first vote for
statehood for Idaho. He was defeat
ed for the legislature on the straight
Republican ticket at the time the free
silver agitation gave birth to the Sill
yer Republican party. He was elected
to the sixth and eighth sessions of
the Idaho legislature, where he dis
tinguished himself as an active mem
her of the lower house. Always q
heavy taxpayer, prominent in the
councils Of his party. he has been ac-
tive In furthering the interests Of his
home county and his state. He was
a member of the first board of trus-
tees Of the Albion state normal school
and is chairman of the Burley inde-
pendent school district and president
Of the Burnley Commercial Club. In
1902 he was married to Clara Haw-
kins OF Salt Lake City, formerly a
resident of Albion, Idaho. In every
respect he represents splendid type
OF the American citizen and man OF
affairs. He knows Idaho and her
needs as few men and Is a logical can
didate for the position for which he
has been named.

SKETCH OF TREASU RER CHAS,
A. HASTINGS.

Charles A. Hastings, the Republi-

treasurer, is one of the candidates
presented by the party this year
whose worth is attested by the fact
that he has been selected for sec
ond term.
He was born in Cambridge, Mass,
So years ago, receiving his education
in the common schools Of that state.
At the age Of 81 he began an active
business career, and when thirty
years old he moved to Colorado, and
later In turn to Wyoming, the Dako-
tas, Nebraska and Iowa, where he
was engaged in railroad construction
work, having charge Of supplies for
several hundred miles of building,
He came to Idaho in 1894 and lived
In Idaho county for about year
and half, going from there to Lew

She has kept In close touch with the
needs of the schools In the different
ifounties by attending the county in
stitutes and teachers meetings dur
ing the year, and In this way has ex-
tended the influence of the depart
ment of education to every section Of
the state.
Her active work while attending
the National Educational association
has given Idaho place among the
leading states of the union In educa-
tional matters that 1t has never be-
fore held, and has brought into the
state lecturers Of national reputation,
that our teachers might have the
benefit of the best and latest
thoughts in their profession.
In fact, Miss Chamberlain Is known
throughout the state Of Idaho as q

has the training for her work and
whose heart is In It, for she has been
tried and found capable.

SKETCH OF MISS s. BELLE
CHAMBERLAIN.

In the person OF Mlbb .. D0lIc
Chamberlain, the Republican party
of Idaho presents q candidate for the
important Office Of state superintend-
emit of schools with full confidence
that its choice will be approved by
the voters at large. A native daugh-
ter of the state and q graduate OF
the high school Of its capital city, It
is but natural that Idaho citizens
should look upon her career as an
educator with pride, but, by work
beyond the borders of her native
state, she has demonstrated that this
feeling is we'll founded in fact and
not only in local prejudice. For four
years Miss Chamberlain taught In
the public schools of Grand Rapids
Mich, city, the school system OF
which ranks second to none, and
there her work was approved as II
has been in Idaho. From Grand
Rapids Miss Chamberlain returned to
Idaho where she held responsible pc.
sitions in the public schools of Boise
and Wallace.
In 1905, Miss Chamberlain was
appointed assistant state superintend.
emit under the Republican admin
stration, continuing to hold this po-
sition until a short time before hel
nomination for state superintendent
of public instruction in 1906 by the
Republican state convention at Pc
catello. Her nomination in Septem
Der of this year unanimous-everJ
county presented her with its ban
ner as she sat in the convention hall
in token of the statewide apprecia
ton of her worth
Under her administration as state
superintendent, a course Of study
and teachers manual has been pre-
pared for the public schools of the
state and by its use uniformity II
| the educational system has beer
greatly facilitated. The work of the
grades articulates with that of the
high school and from there to the
state university. She has made 9
study of the rural school problem
and, as solution of some Of its hin
ORANGES, has advocated and helped tc
establish a consolidated school plar
in many districts of the state which
will give every child, whether he
live in the town or in the country
more equal educational advantages
than can otherwise be obtained.
The Inauguration of the three
state summer normals was one of the
measures presented 10 the last SEES
sion OF the legislature by Miss Cham
berlain and, during the two years OF
their existence, six hundred teach
ers of the state have been able to bet
ter prepare themselves for their
work in the schoolroom, at mere
nominal expense. She, has been un-
firing in her efforts to raise the stand
ard of school work in every way and
to see that every boy and girl of
school age attended school the entire
school term in their respective dis
tricts. With the hearty cooperation
Of the county and city superintend-
ents the results have been crafty
ing. The reports from the various
districts show marked increase in
