The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1910-08-19

legislative honors in the person Of
Mr.. Il. w Cakes. Mr.. Cakes is a
merchant of Caldwell and a good
man. The principle objections TO
Mr.. Cakes is that he takes his po-
litical gospel from o. V. Bailey and
frequently strays off the reservation.
He has the endorsement of that trio
of eminent Republicans, o. V. Bad
ley, II. h, Wallace, and 7. A. Wal
ters. Outside of his political adj
wiser, Mr.. Cakes is usually in pretty
good company. The other candi-
dates are: Messrs. w. R. Cupp of
publican first. last and all the time;
II. c. Bradley of Nampa, who is n
mi $lty fine fellow but to the bad
geographically; II. C. Baldridge of
Parma who stands four square all
the time. Mr.. Baldridge is a sub
stautial man in every sense of the
word. He will undoubtedly be nom
mated. Then follows Frank c.
Berry, IL. Harland, d. M. Jones and
4. J. lockwood. These four men
arc all good men and true. We I'M
derstand that Messrs. Berry, and
Harland carry the endorsement of
the law and order leaguers. 1t is
rather tough on Messrs. lockwood,
Cupp, and Johns that the leaguecs
doubt their position on the temper
ance question. Otherwise they might
DO nominated.
For Clerk of the court the Repub-
leans have Messrs. Cormac J.
Shorb and George w. Stovel. Either
of these two gentlemen would make
n good officer. 1t is quite generally
conceded now that Mr.. Shorb will be
the winner for the nomination. At
present he is city clerk and police
Judge of the city of Caldwell. He
was a temperance man in the far
and distant past when that line of
endeavor was not as popular as it Is
now. OF course Mr.. Shorb will be
supported in the primary and at the
election by the temperance people ir-
respective of party. He is certainly
competent and has stood right on
every important question now before
the people. Mr., Shorb has stated
before in these columns that he
Joined the Republican party in
1896, when there were only 16 or
II in Canyon county. We have
nothing against Mr.. Stovel, The
only thing against him at this time
is that he will not be nominated.
Now comes the sheriff and if there
is man in this section who can call
the turn he has us cheated fifty
ways from Sunday, We would nat
urally suppose that there being Ave
candidates in the field and four of
them from Caldwell. that the out
side man would have the advantage.
He is likely to run as well as any of
the candidates throughout the
county; to have the undivided sup
port of his home town and to CLEAN
the second choice votes of all the
candidates. If we were guessing we
would pick D. NJ. Stokesberry to
win. However. for sheriff there is
Mr.. J. W. Watkins. an old time Re-
publican, an ex-sheriff and ex-assess-
on of Canyon county. He is prob
ably better known over the county
than any of the candidates. Mr..
Watkins made firSt-rate officer and
should stand a good chance of land
ing the nomination. So many can
didateS from Caldwell will work 10
his disadvantage. Then there comes
II. \, Maxey with the endorsement
Of the law and order league, the
civic righteouserS and all the Others
Mr.. Maxey feels certain of winning
out. He has lived in Caldwell a
number of years and acted as chief
OF police several terms. Then there
is F, X. Corbett. Republican and a
good one. There are few better
men than Elmer X. Corbett. 1t.
seems that he ought to be nomina;-
ed, Then comes S. w. Rowland.
also clean. upright young man.
Mr. Rowland will poll a good vote
He is unmarried and that ought to
help him in more ways than one
He is also an ex-chief of police OF
Caldwell. In fact they are a pretty
good bunch
For treasurer and superintendent
OF public instruction it's a dead i'm
mortal eineh, It's lead pipe cinch
and no Sheping" ii. Miss Carleton
