Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1912-10-25

On Tuesday, Nov. 5th the voters
Of Bear Lake county will again ex
press their choice for those whom
they wish 10 serve in the various
Offices for the ensuing two years
Not word can be said against the
personal character or standing of
any one of the candidates on either
the republican or democratic tickets.
They are all good citizens and in
terested in the welfare and progress
Of this county.
The democratic candidates are
honest in upholding the principles
Of democracy, but az democrats
they represent principles and poli-
cies, which aye opposed to those for
which the republicans stand. For
this reason We do not understand
how true republican, can be q re-
publican on national and state issues
and democrat on county issues.
Where republican candidate for
county Office is recognized as being
equally as competent for the Office
he 10 seeking as his democratic OPP
ponent, we cannot understand why
every republican should not support
the candidate who represents his
polAical principles. Bear Lake is a
republican county and not single
democrat can be elected if the re-
publicans do their duty on election
day.
For state senator the republican 8
present Joseph r. Shepherd Of
Paris. Mr.. Shepherd is SO well
known in this county that there lie
nothing the Examiner can say in his
behalf which will add to his credit.
He served the county two terms as
commissioner and it is conceded by
democrats as well as republicans
that the county never had better
man in that Office. Mr.. Shepherd
ID man of commanding appearance,
Of firm convictions and capable Of
defending his convictions IN az
able manner. He will represen,
this county IN the upper branch oi
the Legislature with credit to him
self and with honor to his con-
stiuents. We firmly believe thai
Joseph r. Shepherd will be elected
By handsome majority.
Fred G. Evans of Raymond ant
Charlie e Wright of Montpelier
are the republican candidates fo
Representatives in the lower house
Mr.. Evans has been . residen
of this, county for So years. III
has devoted his time TO farming an,
teaching school, having laugh
ls teruis In the county. He 10
man of few words, but is studen
and has Kept abreast of the times
He is In every way qualified 10 re
present the people of this county j
the legislative halls.
C E. Wright, who was placed o
the ticket to Gil the vacancy cause
by the resignation of K A. Burrel
has been o resident of the count
for ., Attle more than eight year
and i'll but two years Of that tin
he has presided over the destini'
of the Examiner. Modesty prevent
us from making further mention
his candidacy at this time, except
say that If elected to the legislatul
We will put forth his very best e
forts 10 give the people of the sta
good, common sense lave, sad up'
questions of statewide interest
will vote for what he knows TO
the sentiment of the majority
the people OF lhis county.
In Chris Olson, the candidate I
sheriff, the republicans have one
the sturdy and substantial men
this county. He is . prospero
rancber aud stock grower and
deeply interested in the advan,
ment of the county. He can
relied upon to give the people
square deal IN the enforcement
sll laws. We firmly believe Il
the people win never have cause
regret II, IL they elect Chris ols
sheriff on the 9th of November.
Jesse p. Rich, candidate for p
scouting attorney, is young N
lust out of law school, where
graduated with honors. Althou
