PIE nave a candidate in the person of
Arthur Mundt as the second represen.
tative from this county. Mr.. Mundt

or men in the county, a man of large
sltairs, broad minded and working for
what is to the best interest of Idaho
county ne will make the people a
mighty ereditable representative. Mr..

aeter, has an excellent education, is a

For Sheriff
From ali over the county and for a
distance beyond its borders we hear
kind word for Charles s. Thompson.
the candidate for sheriff. Mr.. Thomp-
son came to this county in 1894, going
at that time to the town of Florence
and opening up mine. He has been
identified with the mining industry ev-
er since with the exception of the last
two years when he has served as dep
uty sheriff under J. l. Overman. Mr..
Thompson is one Of those big hearted
western men with plenty of courage
and excellent judgment. To know
him is to like him and not one single
iota of objection can be brought
against him. Thompson, if elected
sheriff, will do his duty and can be
depended upon not to finch or turn
aside at anything.
He will get his man every time and
do SO without lot of buster and brag-
gadocio. Of southern extraction he pos
sesses all of those gentlemanly qualities
and respect for others feelings that the
southern man inherits, and his bravery
and loyalty to duty cannot be ques-
toned as local experience gives ample
testimony. Thoroughly familiar with
the work of the office and knowing
well all trails and roads of this vast
county, the people of Idaho county are
not going to make the mistake of not
electing him to this most important Of
flee.
For Treasurer
For county treasurer the democrats
present Tim E. Quinlan, one of the
most popular young business men from
the Kooskia section. Mr.. Quinlan has
had plenty of experience in bookkeep-
ing and clerical work, having been en-
ployed for number of years in that
capacity by the Oregon Short Line rail
way company, and has natural apti-
tude for that class of work. With Quin-
In in the office the public can feel con-
fident that they will have an offic-
ial who would serve them. This Of
flee is no trivial one and with the
passage Of the amendment which pro-
vided for the collection Of the taxes by
the treasurer, will require a man of
more than ordinary ability, active in
mind and careful in record keeping, re-
guiring the entire attention of just
such public servant as possesses the
qualifications of Quinlan. Mr.. Quin-
Ian is not a public office-seeker or a
politician and greets his fellow man
just as pleasantly and with the same de-
gree of cordiality after November 5th
as before. Mr.. Quinlan has been office
deputy under Sheriff Overman for the
past two years, and has performed his
duty in that capacity in very credit
able manner.
Martin for Assessor.
The assessor s office requires a man
who is familiar with values and one
who can be depended upon to make a
just and equitable assessment. E. P.
Martin of Ferdinand, who is asking
for the election to that office on the
democratic ticket, is young man from
the Prairie country, where he is
ranching this year. For number Of
years he was employed as bookkeeper
in the Goldstone store at Cottonwood
and later secured the position of cash
ier in a bank at Cotton, Wn. Martin
went to the front during the Spanish
American war, being attached to the
university battalion, however he is not
making a campaign on having done his
duty, but asks the vote Of the people
upon ability to serve them. In select
ing your candidate for this office, care
fully scrutinize the record of Mr.. Mar
tin, and you will not find him lacking
in single requirement.
For Prosecuting Attorney
The candidacy of M. Reese Hatta-
baugh for prosecuting attorney is meet
ing with such degree of approval that
