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


elected. In view of the fact that
Caldwell has never had commission
or since the organization of the
county, the people here feel that
they are entitled to the Office this
time. Mr.. Dodd is one of the pi-
oneers of the county; a progressive
farmer and an altogether good citi-
zen.
For probate judge, three candi-
dates present themselves, viz: l.. M.
Lyon of Payette, c. d. Tillinghast of
Emmett and B. w. Henry of Nampa.
Mr. Henry is the present probate
judge, having been appointed to fill
the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of F. A. Hagelin. He is
young man of good appearance; is
learned in the law and is making a
good officer Mr.. Tillinghast halls
from Emmett. He is one of the Re-
publican war horses and will get
many votes on that account. Nj.
Lyon is from Payette where factions,
water melons and bridges abound
He is lawyer by profession and is
said to be good one. We are in
clined to think that under the condi-
tons prevailing in Canyon county at
this moment that Mr.. Lyon will
rnund nm III nomination The Dap
cite valley does not feel kindly to-
ward Nampa at this time and the
people there are apt to take a fall
out of Nampa citizen every time
they see one. Mr.. Lyons has strong
support in many sections of the
county.
Here we come to another cinch.
We are like plumber in that we
fairly dote on cinches. A. H. Lang
of Parma has the coroner PROPOSE
ton cinched. 1t seems he always
has that nomination cinched, clasped
and cramped. There is no man in
the whole of this county who looks
better as coroner than A. H. Lang.
At this very point it's a good idea
to take a look at the assessor.
There are two candidates. They are
Messrs. D. w. Ainey of Payette and
C. o. Christopher of Caldwell. Mr..
Christopher was formerly superin-
tendent of the Caldwell public
schools. After that he became an
understudy of o. v. Bailey and
served in the county clerks office
two years. Some may think from
this that his politics are a little off
color. Mr.. Ainey was once a men,
Der of the legislature. Other than
that We know of nothing to his dis
credit. He is a strong Republican,
right on temperance and is always
up and doing for the progress and
advancement of his home town. In
our judgment Mr.. Ainey will get the
nomination. He would make a good
campaigner and would run like. Pin
Feathers, a sporting horse famous
on the track of the Canyon County
Fair Association.
The assessorsnip naturally sug-
gests the county attorney. We don Il
know why it does but suppose be-
cause We had not gotten around to
the attorneyship sooner. For county
attorney there is Judge Elston and
Mr.. ]. w. Sammon. Mr.. Sammon
says that the rumor that he is a
Mormon is greatly exaggerated. He
has pardner by the name of Dewey
who afiliates with the Mormons.
Mr.. Sammon comes from Wyoming.
For many years he was a prominent
attorney of that state. He is a good
looking man, a good attorney, and
feels kindly toward Barney O'Neil.
His opponent is Judge Elston of this
city. Judge Elston is a we'll known
member of the Canyon county bar.
He came to Idaho about two years
ago from Ithaca. New York. where
he practieed law for many years. He
is very fine old gentleman, and not
so very old either. Mr.. Elston would
add dignity to the ticket and would
make good oficer If elected.
The last of the Mohicans is
MeSSrs Fred McCOpDau ga W.
Moot These two gentlemen are
running for surveyor and we guess
that Mr.. Mcconnell will get it. He
is the present county surveyor and
is giving very good satisfaction. /
Mr.. Moot is not 10 be overlooked but
we think that the young man will
win out
BADLEY IN LINIELIGRT.
