cured the consent of the bondhOder to the pan and
had the enthusiastic support of the settlers be benefit

Board authorized the change in the companys contracts
with the settlers, and the extension contracts will
be made out rapidly possible.
This much the biggest concession offered the
settlers by any company that it deserves wide publicity
In effect it means loaning the settlers 100000 year

of the efficiency of the office. Mr..
Zug has given years to the study of
his work, and his experience and in
innate knowledge of the county
make him an unusually effective Of
ficer. The last legislature passed a
law to allow sheriffs to succeed
themselves in office, after the peo-
pie at the last election had ratified
a constitutional amendment to that
believing that the public is
entitled to receive the benefit of a
second term from any unusually eff
fective officer. 1t was wise law,

Some FavOrites
A Few, State Candidates to
Be Warranted
Primary Only 10 Days Off; It's
Time to Choose

After long deliberation, the Re
corder has decided that 1t will sup
port Morrison fer governor, agains
all the other candidates in the pri-
maries, with Clagstone second. The
vicious fight being made against
Morrison has its inception, not in a
regard fer law and order, but in a
series of personal differences where
in Morrison, once governor, was Not
in the wrong He was the first re-
publican governor after a long SER
les Of democratic administrations.
1t was during the first real years of
Idaho's development. He has no
mans tainted money, either as gov
erncr or a private citizen since 1t
is net necessary to review all the
Steunenberg case, to say that Mr.
Morrison was, and is, and will be,
one of the best citizens of the state;
as law-abiding, as fair, as honest, as
any of his critics, or as any one in
the state; as courageous and as eff
ficient in office as the best who
ever sat in the governors chair in
Idaho, and a cultured, thoughtful
man and citizen who the people can
trust without watching. The Recor-
der would not say aught against the
other candidates, who have not in
stigated or carried on the character
assassination campaign against him;
but Mr. Morrison is entitled to the
first place, in the estimation of the
Recorder. 1t is not at all likely that
any candidate will receive as mucI
as 40 percent of the first choice bal
lots sc the second choice will have
to be invoked The second choice is |
now optional, instead Of mandatory |
as it was last year. but it counts ii |
it is cast. With Morrison a prob
able leader, but with Clagstone ano |
Haines very close behind, the SECOND
choice will probably settle the mat
ter 1t is conceded that Clagstone
who is a clean, capable man, stroni
with the farmers, will bt
Sc good a second choice that he is
easily in line to make a run foi
