Is practically the same A great ma
Jority of your citizens are engaged
in beet culture, which of necessity
takes them to Burnley several times a
year. II the county seat was in Bur-
ley, they could transact their bust
ness with the county at the same
time that they transacted their bust
ness with the sugar company. For
the few in Oakley who are very slow
10 express themselves, for Burley,
we are inclined to think that their
hesitancy is due to sympathy for
Albion.
To the Voters of Marion:
From recent canvass of your pre-
clnct, 1t shows that you are almost to
a vote in favor of Burley as a coun
ty seat. We wish TO congratulate
you upon your good judgment and be-
ing fair minded, thinking voters. You
have evidently solved this question
rom your own view point and know
that it is going to be benefit to
you. Keep up the good work, con-
sider the facts presented to the vott
ers of the other precincts and on
election day. vote as you have indi-
Gated that you are going to vote.
Very few of you go to Albion UNI
less it Is upon some matter to be
transacted at the county seat You
come to Burnley nearly every week
10 trade. OF all precincts, it certain
~ would be to your interest to have
the county seat located at Burley.
To the Voters of Marshfield:
Dan any one give good and suf-
ficient reason why every voter in the
Marshfield precinct should not vote
for the removal of the county seat
TO Burnley? At the present moment
a railroad line, connecting your pre-
cinct with Burnley is being constructed
Upon its completion. it will only be
a few minutes ride to come to your
principle trading place and to come
% the county seat. Why should you
want to travel thru the dust and the
mud to Albion to transact the bust
less that you may have at the coun-
~ seat when you could do that in
Burnley most any day when you are
in trading.
Any voter in Marshfield precinct
who votes against Burley, is voting
against his own interest and against
his pocket book. We believe you are
good enough citizens and business
men to look out for your own inter
est, and we believe that on Novem-
Der 9Th, you will see that it is to
your interest to give Burley a u
nanimous vote from your precinct.
70 the Voters of Jackson:
The conditions confronting YOU are
much similar to conditions confront
ing View and Marshfield You are
IN irrigated district, and your inter
asts are identical with those of the
other precincts in the Minidoka Pro
lect. With the construction of the
Raft River line, Burnley will be easily
accessible to you for county sea
purposes while it is long tedious
rip for you to go to Albion when
YOU can visit the county seat at less
trouble, less time, and less expense
and in the mean time save yourself
L vast amount of money in taxes. 1t
certainly is to your Interest," to vote
solidly with Burnley on election day.
To the Voters of Yale:
We can think OF no reason why
Tale should cast vote for Albion.
Many of your inhabitants do not go
% the county seat at Albion once
In five years. Nearly all of YOU
visit Burnley a few times each year
With the railroad building so close
o you. visiting Burley will not be
he task that it has been heretofore.
To visit Albion means a long hard
rip over mountain ranges and thru
any and all kinds of weather.
You are a new community, settled
up with new people, interested in
progress and development. and for
oh
stand with Burley in this election be-
cause you want to see a good and
substantial court house erected at
the county seat, that does not cost
you a cent.
Your defence for standing with Bur
ley, Is progress, development. and a
saving of time, and the saving of
money. Get out, all of you. on cleo
llon day, and vote as in unit for
Burnley.
To the Voters of Locust and Basin
The county seat question presents
this phase, a short drive to oakley
and comfortable train trip, against
a long drive to Albion with the en-
ira expense. A cheaper administra-
ton of the county's affairs against
the present high administration OF
county affairs. A great deal of the
property in your precinct has been
through the administrators court, and
loss of the probate proceedings,
would work irreparable injury to the |
land owner of your vicinity. Put |
YOUR records in Burley's fire-proof |
vaults and save yourselves useless |
litigation in the future.
To the Voters of Hazel and Dry Creel |
Burnley is your trading point and |
we do not think you need an argu-
nent as to why you should vote for |
Burnley, because you are certainly in |
.erested enough to place a county
seat most convenient TO you.
