HASTINGS FOR TREASURER.
Lewiston Man Whom State Wants
to "Come Back"

c. A. Hastings. Of Lewiston, for
mer state treasurer, has announced
himself as a candidate for the Of
flee for another term, On the re-
publican state ticket. It is especial
ly fitting that he should do so at
this time, when the public is 50
interested in cutting down extrava-
gance in every line, and when the
republican party makes economy its
campaign slogan; for nc man who
ever served in the state house is
more of a taxpayers friend than is

delegates who had been elected fer
Roosevelt, and the seating CT Taft
partisans in their place. Few Taft
supporters deny that the contests
were not decided on merit in many
cases, but agree that the practice Of
allowing the Taft men temporary
seat and allowing thsm to vote on
their cwn standing, gave them the
only control they could ever have
had for TAFT With Roosevelt the
honest choice, but Taft the nominee;
party victory is hardly to be thought
possible.
Taking their cue from the repub-
lican wreck, and the fact that the
ticket is headed by one
recognized as a conservative, the
convention at altimore
is certain to name progressive can
didates; Bryan and Wilson, if they
can be apportioned to suit, are the
most probable at the time of goil
to press---Friday night. Bryan lost
the temporary chairmanship, after
fight against Judge Parker in which
he named himself as a rival candi-
date against the New Yorker But
they named Ollie James for perman-
ent chairman, strong partisan Of
Bryan and Wilson; the convention
ocks to be in their hands; and it
s easy to believe. they will win.
It is conceded that they could not
10 better, if so well, and that at
10 time for forty years were demo-
ratio prospects brighter than this
ear.

PARK is A BEAUTY.
Rsichfield Made q Gilt-Edge Invest
ment in Buying Trees.

Richfield never got better bar
gain than the city park, where the
trees are just now making such a
fine showing Trees could not do
better than those which were plant
ed in the park. Evenoneday's growth
can be seen and marked; some of
the trees will make a growth ofnot
less than six to eigth feet during
the season, from every present in
dication By next summer, there
will really be considerable shade;
by the next year after that, the park
will be the most popular placein
or around the town. The fine trees
that were set out last year, around
the company farm adjoining town,
are other examples of what can be
done to make this country attract

SEVERAL STATE SENATOR'S.
Good Men Who VIII Seek Office I'm
Various Counties.

Various Counties.
While in Boise this week, the
Recorder editor learned that Repre-
sentative l.. E. Glennon, of Challi'
is to be the republican candidate
for state senator from Custer coun-
ty. The people there have
got into the habit of electing Raw
enal Macbeth, a democrat; he has
served for five terms in the senate
from Custer county. But Mr.. Glen
mons friends believe they have at
last found more than a match for
the heretofore invincible Macbeth,
and they are going to start such a
campaign as will be worth going to
see. Mr.. Glennon was one of the
safest, strongest men on the floor
of the house last year, and his per-
sonal popularity at home as well as
his high standing out over the state
will make him a formidable candi-
date. The Recorder editor is pre-
pared to vouch for him to the lin
it for his legislative ability, and to
congratulate tn epeople of Custer
on their chance to secure him.
Another candidate for the senate,
who is likely to make an exception
al record in that body, is Byron Def
enbach of Bonner county. He was
for a time a very likely candidate
for governor, but finally withdrew
when so many other northerners APP
peared to ask for the honor. He is
a keen resourceful man, a student
CT public affairs, who is bound to
make his mark on state legislation.
He comes from normally republi-
can county, but will have certain
influences against him
that may be more formidable thu
plain democrats.
1t is understood that c. F. Borden
of Shoshone, is to be the republican
candidate for the state senate. He
is business man, not politician,
and it was only after persistent So
Iicitation that he consented to run.
Mr.. Borden was for some years a
member of the Shoshone village
board. and was honored with the
craftsmanship. He is clean, capa-
ole man, one of the best supporters (
If church andother public decencies,
S president of the Lincoln County
Fair Association, has no entangling

late.
Ben S. Grow, of Boise, is likely to

enate from Ada county He visit
ID Richfield two years ago, as a
peaker for the republican state
committee, and made
.ood impression He was assistant

st members, and is well worthy a
lace in the senate from even the

Iawa Editor Tells Real Truths OF

The Recorder editor is in receipt
