ENDORSES JNo. M. HAINEs.
Idaho County Man Writes Glowing
Tribute TO Candidate.

The following letter under date Of
June 2S to the Salmon River Sun
was written by Chas. A. Parsons OF
Grangeville:
Il am writing to you today on a
matter which is of much interest to
me and | trust may have some COM
mon element of mutual interest to
both of us. 1t is in regard to the
candidacy of the Hon. John NJ. Haine
for the position of Governor of
Idaho.
Il have known Mr.. Haines for q
years. Have watched the career in
which he has builded up both fortune
and reputation, as business man,
successfully; have seen his abilities
demonstrated in the administration
OF public affairs, while mayor of Boz
Sc, and can endorse his personal and
public life, as being OF the highest
class of broad minded progressive citi
zenship.
'In the matter of political interest,
most every one has closest at heart
the doing of things What will be
done is the vital question we should
ask of ourselves when we are con-
sidering who we shall support for
each office o. trust and confidence.
We are Obliged to repose in the
man, and naturally it becomes a
question of what benefit will be de-
rived from supporting this man or
another, and to what cause can be
accredited the action we take in the
discrimination of choosing the one
as against the other
Generally these questions are
threshed out in the minds of the
voters by discussion of the poss be
good or bad qualities of the candi-
date, in convention endorsements and
by the personal condolences which
are shown to be in the balance of
a majority opinion Of those whom we
are in touch with and whom we
know are posted in the concerns of
such public interests.
Mr. Haines is well known in !
that part of the state in which his |
business and private life has been
lived He has always stood high
in the esteem of those who are his
nearest neighbors, and his business
associates are among the men who
are foremost in the efforts to build
up and perpetuate the prosperity and
- +b hrC
social advantages of the country and
state in which we live.
Never, through all the years of
his struggles has he given up the
high aims of manhoods' ambition.
Never, during the years of successful
personal business has he turned
from the duties of public life in
selfish defense of his time or energ-
les where he might use either in
behalf of the people among whom
he has lived and worked for the up
rising of self and people. There are
no signs in him of changing dcmean- /
c. with the growth of his influence L
or the increase of his bank account. z
He is the same John NJ Haines to- =
day that he was as young man in
early life when / first became ac-
quainted with him, having changed
only in the sense of experience and
age.
These are valuable assets in the
conducting of business either per
sonal or public. These are among
the items of importance which We
TO fill the highest position of honor
and trust in the great little state of
Idaho. Some men aspire to posi-
ton from 4 selfish motive of self
Others are inspired
with a feeling of confidence that
they are high enough in the branches
Of knowledge concerning the position
TO make effective the performance
OF those duties which are an essen
-ial contingent to tie position. 9th
ers STILL depend on power of politi-
;ians to support with their combined
strength, the man, who in return
IAN give them an equivalent in turn "
II a time when it becomes necessary
or him to do so.
John NJ Haines offers the voters CO
f Idaho and to every man and &,
oman OF reasonable mind a real di
,sue to decide. One that is within ~,
ne reach and grasp of all. One that
