COUNTY FATHERS
rrcrroN OF PETTIB0NE, SCHIL-
TER AND NASH MEANS A
BUSINESS BOARD
kRE NOT SECTIONAL men
In Elected Commissioners Of Idaho
County, They win Show No
Sectional Preference.

There are no more important officers
n the voters of Idaho county than are
The commissioners. The county COM
missioners are the county fathers, they
expend the bulk Of the taxes and to
their wise judgment and ability is
the progress of the county effected
The people are exceptionally fortunate
this year in having the opportunity to
vote for three such men as are on the
democratic ticket for this important
board. We have yet to hear word
against a single one Of them and on
the other hand we have heard all kinds
Of praise.
From the first district there is Nate
Pettibone, man of sterling character,
and excellent business judgment. He
has served the county we'll for two
years and not word against him can
be truthfully uttered. Mr.. Pettibone
has been an Idaho county commission
or in every sense of the word. He
has worked just as diligently for
Whitebird and Grangeville as for any
other section. He is not factional or
community commissioner and is going
to be returned to office by an over
whelming majority. Pettibone is fair,
honest and straightforward. He has
given this county business admins
tration.
From the second district democracy
presents one of the truest men in Ida
no county, we refer to VIM. Schiller,
or "Bill' as you all know him. Schil-
Ter has been your commissioner for the
past two years and his work is open to
inspection. Every section of the coun-
ty has been taken care of and Grange
vile especially has reason to vote for
schiller's return. Last year Grange
Vile poutrymen he'd show in this city,
the show had for it's purpose the en-
couragement of the raising Of better
poultry in Idaho county. 1t was a
worthy project. A committee called
on the board and ask for some assist
anee which the law permits the coun-
ty commissioners to extend, and VIM.

money and his suggestions were carried
out resulting in quite sum being Civ

schiller is not sectional man and if
you vote for him for commissioner do

VI Idaho county and when you ask for
support for some worthy public matter
IN which the board can assist, if it de-
sifes, you will find Schiller ready to
meet you halfway and not turn you

years ago when a. committee of fifty
business men and citizens from Grange
