Moral Character and Exemplary
Habits.
W, L. Clifford, Republican candi
d,tr for secretary of state arrived in
the city this morning from Boise.
vhere he has been for the past three
DAVIS in conference with the Repubh-
can leaders at Republican State head
quarters. He was accompanied by
F H. Hancock and will spend sew
eral DAYS meeting the voters of Can
Won county, and looking into the
conditions in this section. When ask
ed concerning his candidacy Mr.. Gift
ford was enthusiastic over the condi
ton of the Republican party in Can
Won county as far as he had met it
and was very optimistic as to the re
suIts on a week from next Tuesday.
In speaking of the outlook for the
Repub leans in the northern part OF
the state Mr.. Clifford said: when the
votes are all in and the ballots of No
vember the eighth are counted by the
Judges of election you will find that
northern Idaho has rallied to the sup
port of the Republican party in man
ner that will have made the Democratic
brethren and their forecasts look de-
cidedly wild and erring. We are going
to sweep the state from Bon
ner to Bear Lake with majority thai
will be overwhelming. Nez Perc'
county will come to the front with a
majority for every Republican candi
date. The boys are united and work
ing in harmony and / consider it s
safe forecast to say that the entire
Republican ticket will be carried INTO
Office by as good majority as they
have received in recent years.
