No republican in Shoshone county
has an excuse, II one were sought, fol
scratching the state or county ticket
this year. Both contain the names OF
as good citizens as there are in the
state and all the candidates were
chosen in the primary election with q
view to their fitness for the several
Offices. The candidate for governor
John M. Haines, is one of the best
qualified men in Idaho for the high
office. He Is a business man and a
good one; straightforward, honest
and practical, he Is endorsed by the
leading business men Of the state who
know him personally. II he is elect
ed, with the others on the state ticket
he will be surrounded and supported
by such men Of high standing in the
party as Herman H. Taylor. who is E
candidate for lieutenant governor; 0
" Allen, for state treasurer; Fred l.
Houston for auditor; the capable anc
brilliant Joseph Peterson for attor
ney general; Grace M. Shepherd To-,
superintendent Of instruction, and
Robert N. Bell for mine inspector
Neither the republican nor any other
party could have chosen ticket that
is stronger, or candidates more cap
able Of good and efficient service,
Not since Shoshone county was
organized have the voters been given
opportunity to vote for better set
Of officials than those named by the
republicans. without a single ex-
ception they are citizens OF highest
standing at home and abroad Cap
able, honest and actuated by the
purest and best of motives, they stand
for all that is desirable in candidates
and all that could be required in pub
lie SERVANTS. There is not man or
woman on the republican ticket for
whom republican need offer word
Of apology. Pledged to serve to the
best OF their ability the taxpayers,
whose servants they will be, they will
bring to the various offices the high
est degree Of efficiency and will perform
their duties to the satisfaction Of rich
and poor alike. II the entire ticket
Is successful, as there Is every reason
to believe 1t Is going to be. Shoshone
county will have as good set Of on
GERS as 1t has ever had, and as good
and efficient corps Of public SER
wants as any county in the state.
To the capability Of the candidates
for county Office, there is the add.
tional reason for voting the republican
ticket straight that issues Of deepest
import to the state at large are at
stake. The election Of two United
States senators is one of these. The
death Of Senator Hepburn was a great
loss to the state and the failure Of the |
legislature to re-elect Senator Borah |
TO the senate would result in another

Felt for many years. The business in
