HUMEsToN FOR COMMISSIONER.

A. E. Humeston of Collbran. who
is making the race for county COM
missioner on the democratic ticket,
is out campaigning this week and
fiattering reports come in of the vote
winning character of Del's personal-
ity. He is making new friends in
both parties wherever he can meet
people. and the chances appear very
good for his election.
There certainly are many reasons
why Mr.. Humeston's candidacy
should appeal very strongly to the
public, and give him liberal sup
port regardless of party affiliations.
He is business man of unusual abil-
ity, capable of handling big enter
prises. or the laborious detail work
of department store. Wherever he
has entered business. trade has come
his way because he is genial and is
recognized as absolutely honest His
successful management of ,the Coop
erative Plateau Valley Creamery is
an example of his careful, conserva-
tive business methods
During his five years residence in
Collbran, Mr.. Humeston has steadily
arisen in the esteem of Plateau val
ley citizens, and when this end of
the county was invited to select
strong, wise, conservative man to try
for the commissionership it was not
surprising that one and all of our
delegates in the convention said
"Humeston is the man."
1t has been reported that Mr.
Humeston does not want the posi-
ton His acceptance ought to be
sufficient argument to the contrary.
True. he did not seek the nomina-
tion; but now that he is in the race
he has stated that he means to win
If possible. and that. If elected, he
VIII MI the position to the best of
his ability. What stronger pledge
could be given by reputable man?
Those who vote for Mr. Humeston
Will cast their ballot for man who
loves square deal; who has bust
ness ability. and is a clear. conserva-
i've thinker; who has the welfare of
his constituency at heart and will
safeguard the interest of the coun- |
tvs affairs to the best of his ability I

idea that he had any romance IN ms

gave out double lessons; he scared lit
