the county and handle it well. His
friends will see to it that he is elected
by comfortable majority.
When a man has been in office ten
wears and there is no complaint against
him most people are going to say he
has made an excellent record. J. /.
Overman has served the people for
that period and there is no complaint.
This year, at the urgent request of
friends, he allowed his name on the
primary ballot for The office of sheriff
and while the race was a close one he
was nominated. Overman is pains
taking, conscientious official and will
do his duty regardless of what it is or
where it takes him. Overman is we'll
known in Idaho county and that is
why he is going to be elected. He
will make as good a sheriff as he has

office whose knowledge of law is not
too limited. With this object in view
the democrats nominated Judge James
DeHayen for the office. So satisfac-

no opposition. Judge DeHaven is
one of the most able lawyers in the
city, of a family Of accomplishments in
the legal profession, having a brother
on the Federal bench I'M California
district, and is a mar in whom the
bar has the utmost confidence and
high regard. He has served as L. S.
commissioner and was elected on the
democratic ticket from Nez Perez as
representative. DeHaven may not
be a good politician but he sure will
make an excellent probate Judge. His
election will bring to the office compe-
teney, dignity and courtesy.

The democrats would not consider the
candidacy Of a woman for the state
