EXCELLENT TICKET
FROM PREsIDENT DOWN DEMO.
CRATIC TICKET MERIT0RIoUs
COURT PUBLIC SCRUTINY
No Apologies to Offer, No Excuses to
Make BY the Party for Its
Candidates. A

But few weeks remain until the
people will be called upon again to Sc
lect their public servants in nation
state and county and with the date
near at hand the campaign is now OF
in earnest. The democratic party goes
into the fight this year with ticket
that requires no excuses or apologies
and one that is not only highly salts
factory to the members of that party
but is heartily endorsed by number
of the opposition as well. /.
The National Ticket.
Recognizing in Woodrow Wilson q
man of presidential stature, and the
only presidential candidate of the three
who has chance Of election who is
absolutely free Of any entangling al
liances with the trusts and predatory
interests and yet man who can be
trusted to do justice to all, the vote
he is going to receive in November
promises to be the largest ever given
a candidate for the highest honor the
American people have to confer.
Admirable State Ticket
The state ticket is headed by Gov.
James H. Hawley, the one executive
Idaho has had in years against whom
not charge of dishonesty or corrup-
tion has been heard, is Of excellent
quality throughout and is commanding
the earnest and honest support of the
progressive people Of the state, regard
less of party.
For congress the democrats of the
North present that young man of sterl-
ing character and record of accomp-
lishment for the people, Perry W.
Mitchell of our neighboring county of
Lewis. Mr.. Mitchell is young man
of ability who can be depended upon
to get results and whose time will be
the people Is time and used in getting
results rather than in making him
self agreeable to Washington society.
From the South Edward M. Pug
mire is presented to the careful con-
sideration of the voters, and if the
people of Idaho are progressive, as
they are generally credited with, Mr..
Pugmire will defeat Addison T. Smith
by two to one vote.
The congressional ticket presented by
the democrats is an exceptionally
strong one and with democratic pres
ident, it behooves the voters of the
Gem state to have as their representa-
tives at Washington, men who are Of
the same political faith as the ruling
party.
The remainder of the state ticket is
OF the same high class material and is
appealing not only to the democratic
voters but those who care nothing for
party label but look solely to the
qualifications of the individuals. Ida
no democracy invites the closest scru-
tiny OF its nominees.

Judge Wallace N. Scales, who heads
The legislative ticket, is one Of the alb
lest men in the state of Idaho and for
tunate indeed are the people Of Idaho
county in having the opportunity to
send to the upper house a man of the
character of Judge Scales. The can
dldacy of Judge Scales meets with the
unqualified approval of the masses of
Idaho county citizens who, knowing
ms record of accomplishments, his
honesty and ability, will see to it that
MS election is guaranteed by the larg
est majority of any man on the ticket.
For the lower house, Hon. George Ste
vens, who served so efficiently in the
last session, is again before the peo-
