A Personal Tribute to Birmingham by the Builders of
 the Tutwiler

We congratulate the full citizenship of Birmingham.
 Because, with the opening of the Tutwiler for business this morning, Birmingham has a modern hotel-a truly magnifi- cent hostelry.
 And the Tutwiler is much more to Birmingham than a mere towering structure { of steel, brick and stone.
 The Tutwiler is HOMEifor the stranger in your midst.
 It is magnet that will draw thousands of tourists every year to your beautiful city.
 Your furnaces, your steel mills, your factories and foun- dries, your coal and ore mines have made Birmingham known over the world.
 But Birmingham has been seriously handicapped because of insufficient hotel facilities to care for the strangers attracted here by your matchless, mate rial resources.
 TODAY YOU. HAVEgTHE TUTWILER.
 We built the Tutwiler4and we are proud of it.
 In the 43 years ofsour tbusi- ness life we have erected hun dreds of important buildings throughout the United States. We have, of course, erected a number of larger and costlier buildings, but none, all things considered, more attractive architecturally or more com plete for its purposes andInone better constructed-than THE TUTWILER.
 We are glad the opportunity was afforded us in the building of the Tutwiler and the splen- did Ridgely Apartments, to have so important a part in the development of this splendid city.

Elmore County Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1910-1915, 1914-10-24

Mrs. Millie E. Longfellow, who
for the first time is asking for the
suffrage of the people is candidate
for County Treasurer.
1t goes without saying that if she
is elected the finances of Elmore
County will not only be in safe
hands, but the office will be eff
ciently and economically handled.
Mrs. Longfellow's four years of
painstaking and courteous treatment
of the Mountain Home post office,
demonstrated beyond cavil the fact
that she considers one holding a
public trust the servant of the peo-
pie, and not their master.
She is lady in every sense the
word implies, capable, efficient and
honest. Left a widow with family
OF small children, the task of sup
porting herself and educating them
has taught her the lesson of economy,
the lack of which in so many offices
of county, state and nation is in a
greater degree responsible for an Of
ficial extravaganza, and consequent
high taxes, than any other one thing.
Mrs. Longfellow was born in Ohio
where she taught school two yea
in 1882 and 1888 In 1884 she moved
to Nebraska where she taught school
for five years, when in 1889 she.
was married to Mr.. P. R. Longfellow.
She has lived in Mountain He
13 years, coming here in 1901, Mr..
Longfellow purchased the Republic
paper in December 1902. He was
taken sick the January following and
dsed in May of that year. Mrs.
Longfellow took charge of the office
during his sickness, and after his
death continued to run the paper
until she sold to Mr.. Culver, about
four years later. She was appointed
Postmaster in Mountain Home in
1907, which office she held for the
full term of four years until April
1911, since which time she has been
keeping boarders as a means of sup
port.

Prosecuting Attorney

w. l.. Harvey, the present County
Attorney asks you to re-elect him to
that office. Mr.. Harvey has made a
splendid record in that office and
should be retained. HeN has been
careful to not bet his office be used
for the venting of petty spite nor the
criminal machinery of the county for
the trial Of civil actions at the coun-
tvs expense, but has carefully in
vestigated every case and not caused
warrant to be issued until he was sat-
isfied there was good cause for it, as
a result there have been but few ac-
quittals, besides he seems to have a
happy faculty of inducing those
charged with offences, when their
guilt was plain, to plead guilty thus
saving the county the heavy expense
of criminal trial.

County Superintendent

Miss Leora Lockman, the nominee
of the Republican party for County
Superintendent Is in the true sense
of the word an Elmore County girl,
having been born and raised in this
county and received her educational
training in the Mountain Home
schools and the Idaho State Normal
at Albion. She with her parents
have braved the hardships of pioneer
life and thereby made it possible for
us to enjoy the fruits of their sacri-
fices.
Miss Lockman is a perfect lady in
every sense of that term, refined and
of pleasing address and courteous to
all and that she is eminnently quail
fled for the position is fully shown
by the testimonials printed elsewhere
in this paper, and We want to call
attention TO the fact that while these
testimonials show she is WE'LL quail
fled in all the departments, she Is
especially strong where strength is
needed, in the primary work, the
most important part of education.
In education, Like any other struc-
ture, the foundation must be laid
TRUE and well or the whole structure
will fail Start a child right and 1T
will be hard to spoil it's education
After-errors can be easily corrected,
but start 1T wrong and 1T is almost
impossible to correct the error and
its whole education is imperiled. SO
it is especially fortunate that we
here have chance TO place at the
head of the schools of the county
one who is not only qualified in all
matters but is especially strong on the
foundation work of education, hence
a vote for Miss Lehman LIS not only
a recognition of deserving class of
our citizens, but also assures special
fitness and competency at the head
of our school system.

Assessor.

This office is of special Importance
to the taxpayers. He is supposed to
especially qualify himself as to vail
ues of property, to have personally in
spected the proerty he assesses. I'm
der law as it now is, he fixes the
values of all the property i'm th
county for assessment and while
these values may be changed by the
Board of County Commissioners, they
are largely guided by the assessor
and the powers for harm by an in
competent or crooked assessor are
great. If he has petty spite to
crafty or wishes to play favorites
for future favors he has almost un-
limited powers along these lines,
while if he wants to he can make
showing of a big assessed valla-
tion so as to give an excuse to un-
necessarily burden the people with
high taxes while hiding that fact un-
der an apparent low rate, by over
valuing all the property, thereby not
only encouraging and aiding extrava-
gance and wastefulness at home on
apparent need for unnecessary depu-
ties but forcing the taxpayers of his
county to pay an undue proportion of
the state taxes. So it stands the
taxpayers in hand to see that this Of
flee is filled by an honest, capable
official.
Martin Nelson, the Republican can
didate for this office stands high in
the estimation of all who know him,
for honesty, fair dealing and ability,
as is evidenced by the way heran
for the nomination where he is best
known, carrying his home precinct of
Glenns Ferry over five to one, be-
ing stronger than any other candi-
date, either Republican or Democrat
carried their precinct. Mr.. Nelson |
is a man of wide experience, we'll fit
ting him to judge of values and be-
ing heavily interested at Hammett, |
under the King Hill canal system has
had the lesson well ground in, that |
estimated values may be one thing TO-
day and something else tomorrow, and
the folly Of assessing at prospective !
or speculative values, and if he is
elected there will be no favorites
played nor petty spite worked but
everybody will get a square deal,
and while all the property of the
county will be assessed at its fair
value, there will be no insane boost
ing of values to make a big show
ing.

For Surveyor.

Stanton Park is the Republican
nominee for county surveyor. Mr.
Park has been County Surveyors for
many years and is more familiar witt
the survey corners and lines than
any other man in the county, in fact
there is hardly am established survey
corner in the county that he does not
know, making his services as county
surveyor practically indispensable and
his ability as surveyor rs attested
by the great amount OF important
private surveying he Is being en-
ployed to do and it will be a great
mistake not to re-elect him.

+ John f. Gaines, candidate for Com
m ssioner for the First District is
serving his second term as member
of the Mountain Home Villae Board
and is chairman of that board, and
that he has made good there could
not be more strongly shown than by
the fact that when he ran the second
time he received the largest vote of
any candidate.
Sheppard Morgan, candidate for
County Commissioner from the Sec

land and cattle interests in this county
owned by himself and others and
has conducted the same in such an
able manner as to win the confidence
of all, and by his honorable and court !

OUR CANDIDATES FOR
COUNTY OFFICES
For State Senator.

A. B. Montg omery, our candidate foa
State Senator has been a resident
of King Hill for several years, and ia
one of the substantial business men
of the east end of the county. He is a
man of wide experience, unquestioned
integrity, and broad mind, is especial
ly boosted for the position by all
who are personally acquainted with
him. No better man could be found
for that office.
But there is a special reason why
Mr. Montgomery should be elected.
There is nothing that will be before
the legislature this winter that will
be of so vital importance to Emore
County as the King Hill canal matter,
and 1t is very essential that we have
in the legislature, some one who is
thoroughly familiar with every phase
of that subject, and who has the in
terest Of the settlers under that sys-
tenn at heart. Mr.. Montgomery is one
of these settlers and his all is bound
up in the success of that enterprise
and those heaviest interested under
that project have centered on Mr..
Montgomery as the one man who can
and will best protect their interests,
and what effects one section of the
county effects the whole counyt.

Probate Judge.

There seems to be a prejudice
against third terms in most offices
but this has never extended to judi.
cial offices, but it seems to be unt
versally conceded that these positions
require men of experience in that
particular office, and that such Off
GERS grow with experience, and that
when We get good judge we should
keep him.
Judge Sullivan is serving his oath
year ON the Supreme bench; Judge
Stockslager has served over 20
years on State and District Bench
in this satte; Judge Walters is closing
his 8th year ON the bench and no
one thought of asking for his job
till he announced he would not run
again. All national officers but
judges are elected for definite terms,
judges are appointed for life.
Judge P. H. Gray is closing his
second term. He has made good and
from the experience he has gained
will make better in the future. Why
not profit by what universal expert
ence has taught and reflect him?.
Judge Gray has been placed in a
very trying position owing to the
q r
fact that the child probation law.
was enacted about the time he first
took the office. This law being
new one, was, of course, at first
crude and untried with no prece-
dents to guide him in it's enforce
ment. So it was inevitable that
at first there would be mistakes made
and its enforcement would cause
more or less friction and cause his
acts to be severely criticized. But
il the Judge has erred it has been
on the side of mercy and many
mother blesses him from the bottom
of her heart for the leniency shown
by him for her boy or girl.

Clerk of the District Court

This is the most important county
office to be filled this fall The
clerk of the district court with his
many ex-officio offices gives him so
close a connection with all the
other offices and prestige that
makes his influence the most potent
of any of the county officers in shap-
ing the policy of the county govern
ment and he wields great power
for good in a conservative, careful,
economic, and efficient management
of the affairs Of the county, or for bad
i'm wasteful selfish, careless and in
efficient administration according to
the capabilities, honesty, experience
and inclination of the officer.
In F. G. Ticknor, the Republicans
have a candidate they do not have
to make any apologies for. Mr..
Ticknor did not seek the nomination
but the nomination sought him, and
it was only on the request of those
seeking capable, safe man that he
allowed his name to be placed on the
ballot. Mr.. Ticknor has filled and is
FILLING many positions of trust, all of
which he has conducted in such a
uniformly able, honest, and economic
al manner that it leaves no doubt
that he will handle the countys busi-
ness in like manner.
