Charlie Ebberts last Thursday

J. M. Kolb of San Francisco,

Sheriff Roberts returned Sun
day from Rigby, Fremont coun-

S. I. Shaw, nominee for State
Senator, J. A. Harrington for
Representative, and Fred And
erson for Assessor on the Socia
list ticket, spoke at the Odd Eel
lows Hall Thursday evening,
and all of the above named gen
tlemen made good arguments for
their party principles.
The campaign closed last night
with Republican speeches by To-
cal candidates. There has been
only one Republican from the
Outside-Hon. B. l.. French
in Custer county to make pol
itical speech this campaign. But
with the county Republican
chairman opposing the head of
the state Republican ticket, what
more could be expected
The reason Miss Kelleher, our
County School Supt., opposed
the creation of a new school dis
trict on Lost River at Leslie,
was simply this By creating
the new school district it broke
up two other school districts al
ready created, for there were
not school children when the
new district was formed and talk
en- from the two old districts to
maintain school in the old dis
trict. The only object that Mr.
Knapp had in the matter was to
start a townsite boom on his land.
1t has become evident that the
officers will not do their duty,
nor have the male portion of the
city the courage to make any eff
fort to see that the law is en-
forced, so that some five women
took the matter in their own
hands and raided a local booze
joint at about the noon hour to-
day. Just at this time the Re-
cOrder does not care to go into
particulars, but it is evident that
the case is so clear that con-
viction is bound to result in the
prosecution. Information has
been filed against the keeper of
the dive and a warrant will be
issued during the day for the ar
rest of the parties implicated. =
Salmon Recorder, Nov. 3.
Paris Martin OF Boise, spoke
in the opera House at Challis on
Friday evening last. He talked
for the Democratic party, and as
usual, his attack on the Repub
lican ticket was the State Lane
Board and Brady. Does any one
think for a moment that this
land board would be improved il
,s,tr. Hawley were a member OF
it ? Mr.. Martin was very timid
about local option, which seems
to be the main issue in Idaho, fol-
Hawley and local option do not
jibe we'll together. In a dry
county Hawley is dry" but in
a wet" county he is against loc
al option. That seems to be his
method of campaign on nearly
all the issues-for and agains'
the same issue-to catch votes
from both sides. We do not
think that a man who is on bOtt
sides of an issues is a good man
TO elect to any office, especially
