The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1910-06-03

The candidates for the nominations
for the different county offices can be
placed in nomination on June 2Oth.
The direct primary law so provides
and from that date on it is expected
mat candidates will spr-ng up like
mushrooms. Word comes to The
Tribune that already aspirants for
political Offices have been gumshoeing
the county and no doubt many are pa
tiently awaiting the time when their
nominations may be filed with the
county auditor. The law passed by
the tenth session of the Idaho Legis-
lature, commonly known as the direct
primary law provides; that the pri-
mary election shall be held on tho
last Tuesday in August, which this
year is August 3Oth; that cand dates
may have their nominations flied with
the county auditor not more than six
ty days and not less than thirty days
before the date OF the primary cleo
ton, which this year gives them from
June 3Uth to July 31st in VIII CHI to
flo their nominations; a candidate
may get his name on the primary
ticket by paying a fee of 50, provided
the salary of the Office which he seek,
does not pay salary over $4,000
per annum; when such salary exceeds
$4,000 an additional sum equal to
one per cent thereof on such excess;
or, by filing pet ton signed by b
per cent of the party voters in no less
than one-forth of the election pre-
cincts of the county. In Canyon
County there are "a precincts and
candidate must get per cent of the
party voters in at least precincts.
The law provides that the, candidate
must file his acceptance of the noml-
nation with five days after said
nomination was filed. After all this
is done the candidate may expend fo1
personal expenses not more than if
teen per cent of the first years salary
in making his campaign for the nom.
nation.
Some Few Candidates.
The candidates in different parts
OF the counties are commencing to
get busy among their friends. They
are all inclined to keep their cand
dacy profound secret. What the
object of this secrecy is we have not
oeen able to learn. In spite of the
secrecy, however, knowledge of the
doings of political aspirants is be-
coming generally difused. This year
as always Caldwell will be able to
I'LL the entire Republican county
ticket, Caldwell, 1t is said, will pre-
sent three candidates for Clerk OF
the District Court; one for sheriff;
and one or two for the legislature and
lew not mentioned to date. We
understand that the three comm's-
Sloners are willing to succeed them
selves but at least two of them will
meet with opposition. Commissioner
herrck will have little or no oppo-

understand that Parma will ask for
commissioner and also a member
OF tho legislature, Mr.. II. c. Bald

assessor and as many members OF
