could have been done, and that Is the

March the undertaking assumed dell

to see r the people wanted hydrant
water or wished to depend on the wells
which they had used this far, and the
result was as nearly unanimous as 1t
could be and still have opposition, the
vote being some 40 In favor of water

tion, having come to this state in

and his fidelity to the party ever
since he cast his first vote in 1872

the Fourth of July parade in Boise
this year and it is acknowledged to
have been the grandest, most i'm

paign for representative and has vis-
tied over the county pretty thoroughly.
He has a good show of being elected.
Vote for Mr.. Powers.
@. H. Edwards republican candidate

Mrs. L. J. McFadden is fortunate in
having a record in the last legislature
to which she can point with pride. She
does not have to explain this and that
vote and her support was given to
those measures which would induce
the greatest measure of good to the
greatest number of people. Her exper-
ience will serve her in gUod part if
elected again, which she deserves to be.
A meeting was held Monday evening
to explain the ballot to the voters. At
least forty candidates and others were
here from Boise. Cary S. Polk and
County Attorney Mccarthy ably ex-
planned the various features of the
ballot. hey emphasized the necessity
of voting for second choice or the vote
for that particular office will be lost.

Hon D. L. BadIey should get
every vote in this precinct. He is
head aud shoulders above any other
man in the state in temperance
work, and the success of the local
option law, by which most of the
state is already dry, is due largely
to his efforts, He campaigned in
q majority of the counties where
the local option elections were
held last fall, and his ability as a
public speaker, coupled with his
rugged honesty and sincerity of
purpose has made his personality
a power for good. 1t is not every
community that has a man like D
L. BadIey. He is always found
agressively fighting for the right,
if it had not been for him, there
would be one or more saloons in
Meridian to-day. This is evident
to those who know the circum-
stances in connection with the
liquor fight in this village.

Governor Brady is a temperance
man, and every act of his during
the time he has been the chief ex'
ecutiVe of the state has been con.
sistent. He has clearly proven that
the slanderous story about his hav-
Ing liquor around his home is false.
de stands for the local option law
and its enforcement, and he should
have broader authority in meeting
that provision of the constitution
which makes it incumbent upon
him to see that the laws are en-
forced. The liquor interests are
lighting Brady in every way pos
slble, and want either ONeii or
Fletcher elected. One who casts
his vote for either of these is vot-
ing for the saloon. Vote for Brady
for first and make your second
choice either Clagstone or some
friend.

lhls year citizen of ability who
stands for progress and the honest
administration of public affairs has
announced his candidacy. His
nomination, of course, depends
wholly upon the loyalty of the re-
publican voters. His interests are

to expect that if nominated his
first thought aud chief interest
will be for his home town. Meri-
dian has out fairly entered upon
an era of growth and prosperity
aud the west end Of the county is
in need of many improvements
that may be secured by active en-
ergectlc representation on the
board of county commissioners. If
the republicans will do their duty
at the primary, the independent
voters and the broad minded dem
ocratic friends of Harry L Ballard
will swell his majority at the gen
eraI election. Citizens of a large
town rally to the support of the
home man while often the citizens
OF small town, perhaps through
Jealousy, turn down the local can

of the citizens in the first instance
