BRIEF REVIEW OF
LOCAL CANDIDATES
"A Few Words About the Various Republican and
Democratic Candidates in This County-Care
Should be Taken in Marking Ballots.

Mr.. Skinner is one of the promin-
ent ranchers of Nounan and is in
every way qualified to ill the I'M
portant Office which he ia seeking.
We are not personally acquainted
with Mr.. Poulsen, but we know
him to be one of the substantial and
progressive men of his community.
J. q. Merrill of Bennington and
Chris Sorenson of Georgetown, are
the candidates in the Third district.
Both are old-time and prominent
residents of their respective pre-
cincts Both have made success
In their business affairs, and they
are men of the right calibre to look
after the county's business.
For the important Office of audit
or, recorder and clerk OF the district
court there are two candidates, both
of whom are we'll known through
ont the county. w. r. Holmes, is
now serving his first term in that
Office, and it is conceded by all that
this county has never had more
efficient officer than Mr.. Holmes.
He has thoroughly systematized the
records and everything is kept in
'tip top shape" Will has friends in
every section of the county who
would like to see him re-nominated.
In the person of Howard Broom
head of Bloomington, the republk
cans also have an able man who is
seeking the nomination for that of
fee. Mr.. Broomhead is one of the
county's efficient teachers. He is a
good penman and has thorough
knowledge of bookkeeping, an
'sential qualification for a person
to possess, who seeks to Gil that of
flee. He was Bear Lake County's
only republican representative in
the Legislature two years ago, and
his record there was clean one.
Governor Brady recognized his
ability by appointing him mem ber
of the board of trustees of the Black.
foot insane asylum.
It will be hard matter, indeed,
for many republicans of the county
to decide which of these two COM
petent men they will cast their bal
lot for next Tuesday.
For the Office of sheriff the repub-
licans are blessed with seven candl-
dates, three of whom-John Olsen,
Frank Wright and Thos. Sparks
have been honored with election to
that Office in the past, are thus well
known to the people of the county.
Each of them discharged the duties
of that Office in such manner that
naught can be said against their
Official acts.
| Of the other aspirants, Frank
Athay is now serving as deputy
under Sheriff Bulge, and his expert
ence as deputy will materially aid
him in the discharge of the duties oi
sheriff, should he secure the nomin.
alton and election.
/, The other candidates are all meI
of high standing in the county and
are all competent to fill the office.
John j. Jones, is a son of Joe Jones
former sheriff of this county. Fol
several years John served as spscIa
officer for the Oregon Short Line
and is now a member of the Jones
Robson clothing firm in Montpelier
Edwin Aussin and Marion Perk
! ihs, the other two aspirants, ar,
. men whose characters and abllit,
