Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1912-10-24

= Next in importance is the election
: of the county ticket, not SO much
because they are republicans, but
because they are without exception
good men for the places. The of
flee of county commissioners has ney
or been filled by more worthy pub
lie servans than Messrs. H. A. Part
ridge, w. B. Mitchell, and E. A. Blair
may fairly be expected to prove
themselves to be. They are all men
of property in the respective dis
tricts they seek to represent. They
were all fairly and justly nominated
by good majorities by the republican
voters of this county. Not one
of them but what is Independent,
fearless and reliable and from a
business standpoint there is not a
one of them but what has made a
success in life for themselves. This
after all is one of the best guar
antees of good service to the people
and their election means business
administration for the affairs of Can
yon County as far as the board of
commissioners is concerned.
What we have said about these
county candidates we can just as
frankly and conscientiously say about
the balance, of the ticket. In consid-
erfng the ticket from top to bottom
we should next take up the position
of county attorney, because in the
discharge of his duties it is neces-
saryD that. he frequently advise the
board of commissioners and the 9TH
er officers of the county. This B.
w. Henry will do faithfully and we'll
because. he is young man of sound
ability and not pettifogging pol,t
clan who will play politics If elected.
His conduct of the affairs of Pro-
bate Court as Judge has shown him
to be painstaking, earnest and con-
scientious His election will be no
mistake.
1t seems almost unnecessary to
say anything about the office of sher-
iff for which Frank Brashears is the
aspirant. He has in years past serv-
ed this county in that capacity. His
term of office was one of economy
and justice to the people and his
record is one of which he can be
justly proud. He needs no other
platform than to simply point to
his past record when an official. AS
matter of fact the county records
will show that he materially decreas-
ed the expenses of his office at a
time when the county was rapidly
growing. The election of Frank |
Brashears means a careful, consid-
crate conduct of affairs in the sher-
ifs office and a strict enforcement |
of all laws without regard to politics.
He is too big and broad minded to |
play politics.
In the matter of the office of Fro
bate Judge D. D. Harger is an ideal
candidate. This is the verdict Of
all who have been brought into touch
with the man during his residence in
Canyon County, He is even minded,
Of clean life and there has never
been breath of suspicion about
him since he became known in the
county. His knowledge of law and
court matters are excellent and his
clean record as a man all go to
make him the ideal man to handle
The probate and probation affairs of
this county.
Mabel Grace Carleton devotes her
entire time to. the office of school
conscientiously look
ng after the duties of the office at
Ill times. There was no opposition
o her in the primaries and her sue
essful conduct of the office in
rears past should be sufficient to
guarantee her election this time.
One of the most important offices
II the county is that of assessor and :
no one but what will s
gree that if ever earnest and con-
cientious effort has been made to
i've the people square deal Asses :
or Christopher, the present incum-
ent and an aspirant for reelection, :
) most guilty. Never a time during :,
he past two years of tax discord
rought about by the resurrection of
n antiquated law but what he has =
cen found earnestly endeavoring to :
ring justice and equality of taxes
ut of chaos. His conduct of the Of '
ce should guarantee his election as !"
lithful service should be awarded.
