BUSINESS CAPACITY

One of the most important things
to be considered In selecting candi-
da IS lfor office aside from the
stand taken by the candidate on
publ. questions. is the capacity
of the candidate fer transacting the
public business.
II Is strangely true that a brilli-
ant intellect is many times ham
pcroG hy an absolute disability in
money matters No better illustra-
lion could he found than the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor. No
one questions Mr.. Hawley's abili-
ty as a criminal lawyer. His own
friends, however, admit his ina
bility in matters of business. His
record as mayor of the Capital city
is an Illustration of his inability to
cope with the problems of mu-
the size of Boise. He
entered the mayors chair with
clear balance sheet and left it with
a deficit of $4,000, produced
principally by his unbusiness like
and careless methods of handling
citys money. His record in the
Steunenberg cases is entirely sim
liar.
'nhe people should. therefore,
even though the candidates for
Governor may not hold exactly the
same views on present public ques-
tions look carefully into the busl-
ness qualifications of the man who
is TO handle our million dollar bus
mess. Governor Brady has demon
strated his ability to do this. The
record shows that his adminlstra-
tion has earned the state nearly
$3.50. .OOO more than the last Demo-
cratic administration What is the
particular need Of a change at this
time?

HISTORY OF THE CITY.

Cay afternoon near the depot by
couple Of fellows giving their names
as Doyle and Lapthorn, their in

ana at the same time putting his
hand into his pocket to get the
charge As he drew the money
from his pocket Doyle grabbed him
by the wrist and attempted to take
il away from him, knocking the
money from his hand at the same
time. The man reached down to
PICK the money up and received a
singing blow in The face which put
HIM out Of commission for the time
Icing. City Marshal Dunn, who
chanced to be in the immediate vi
entity. seeing the connection came
up To investigate and seeing the
st9te of affairs, placed Lapthorn
under arrest, Doyle at the same time
taking to his heels and made for the
brush along the river bank but was
soon GverlakeR by the marshal and
arrested. The pair are now in the
county jail and stand a good show
of landing in Boise for a number of
years. The intended victim says
that all the money that he had was
81 30 and that they We're welcome to
that if they had not handled him so
unceremOniously.
This is the boldest piece of rob
berry attempted in this city, and
Marshal Dunn deserves credit for
landing this pair Of thieves as no
doubt they would have piled their
nefarious work on some of the citi-
zens after the shadows Of night had
fallen.

Ell ECTION OF OFFICERS
BY COMMERCIAL CLUB
A Rattling Good Meeting Held by
the Local Body OF Boosters

Iile Shoshone Commercial Club
held very interesting meeting
in their club rooms Tuesday even
ing of this week and transacted
considerable business of impor-
tance to the well being OF the town
and surrounding country.
The committee appointed to look
over the country with the view
of making a better road from this
place to the South Dietrich tract
reported that they ahd found fea-
siDle route and that it could be con
strlicted for something like $3.50.
Tile committee called upon the
County Commissioners who suggest
ed that a road commission be form
ed so that body would have author
ity to 20 ahead with the prelimi-
nary work. The Commissioners
also promised that if part of the
money was raised in Shoshone that
they would do their share in the
construction of the road. The mat
ter was referred to "A committee
with power to act.
The ladies Of Shoshone in a
communication to the club in
formed them that if the club would
have cupboards built in the club
kitchen that they would furnish
the dishes so that they would al
ways be on hand in case the club
or the ladies should wish to use
them. The offer Of the ladies was
accepted.

BREWERY AND SALOON INTER-
ESTS WILL NOT RULE

The Democrats having tailed 10
beat Harry W. Anderson through
the rantings Of Bill Garlock on the
fee question, are now directing
their attention TO County Attorney
Disney and singing mud at nm
along the same line. 1t Is well
knovn that no county attorney Is
responsible for The acts of the
County Commissioners, and even II
the Lincoln County Commissioners
had been guilty of evil dong as
charged by the Democrats, Mr.. DIS
ney is in no way responsible there
to.
Mr.. Disney's record in Lincoln
county as an officer and business
rian is above reproach. He has
saved the county thousands OF
collars by his carefulness in sum
nioning witnesses in criminal mat
tors and his efforts to settle neigh
borhood quarrels out of court.
4. II is moi believed that the voters
of Lincoln county will be deceived
bv the statements sent out by can
didates Pothwell and Winter in
their frantic efforts to succeed
Messrs. Disney and Anderson in
office.
The people of Lincoln county
will rule and not thePocatello brew
ers and saloon interests.
If you want a County Attorney
who will prosecute the violators Of
the law and especially the local op-
ton law. vote for Frank T. Disney.

GENERAL McDOUGAL A WINNER
Boise. Idaho. Oct. 2S. I9IO.

Boise. Idaho. Oct. %, 1910.
" ord comes here from nearly eN-
cry point that General McDougal
will win easily at the coming elec-
iino and predictions are made that
lie will run hard on his ticket.
The attacks of the Democratic
rapers and authors are only haV-
Ing the effect Of driving Mr..
MrBougal's followers closer to him
and will in all probability increa-
Sc his majority. Mr.. McDougal is
man of substantial character
ard in his position as AttorneyGen-
craI has done signal service to the
state. In all the complicated legal
auestilons that have come before
him and before the state authorltI-
lies for settlement he has shown
a legal acumcn and a research IN
the laws that has surprised even
his friends. He is one OF the most
Gilligent and pains taking officers
that the state has ever had and his
success in conducting legal affairs
of the state in the courts shows
him to be a lawyer Of wide attain
ments and great ability. People are
Very slow to throw such man as
that over and to put in his place
an untried man like Mr. Moore.
Mr.. McTougal is making a
splendid campaign and more of the
people will have an opportunity
1f hearing him.
He is the right man in the right
lace and will. no doubt. be elect
I'd by handsome nlaiority.

VOTE THE TICKET STRAIGHT

Members Of the Republican party

Their candidates were chosen by a
full vote of the party membership
in the primary election. These can

positions to which they aspire.
Every one of them will be elected
on the Sih, next Tuesday, unless
there should be a lot of scratching
among the Republican electors or
unless a lot of them stay away from
the polls
The Democrats are centering
their strength on the auditor and
prosecuting attorney and are rely

their men. 1t is not to the inter
esls of Republicans to turn down
any one of their candidates. Let

their men if they can. Harry w.
