splendid ticket for the consideration
of the voters this fall. The most of
them have already had experience in
office, and the new ones nominated
are men whose personal fitness is un-
questioned.
The officials now in office and those
to be selected are not chosen to serve
any particular class or party, and the
question resolves itself into retaining
and engaging only those who can be
depended on to best serve all the peo-
pie.
We are asking the voters to careful
ly measure the candidates offered By
any standard they wish, and we feel
that those put forward by the republic
cans will fully meet the most rigid
requirements.
F. e. Elliott has served the people
acceptably in the lower house, and is
now asking to be sent to the senate
Mr.. Elliott is man of high ideals,
scholar, orator, and skilful debater
He is thoroughly informed as to
| Idaho's needs, and will be in position
TO initiate legislation that will best
promote that interest.
A. II. Conner is recognized through
out the state as a leader in the law
making body, and his experience and
solid judgment is imperatively needed
in the coming legislature. He has
given a large part of his time, at con-
siderable financial loss to himself, and
at the earnest solicitation of the other
members of the house, to perfecting
an equitable workman's compensation
law He has made a close study OF
| this proposed law, comparing 1t with
those in operation in other states, and
is now ready to give the people the
benefit OF this preparation.
| George York and II. b. CARAT are
two new names on the legislative
ticket, and their names are synonyms
for honesty and integrity. Mr.. York
has made his home in Standpoint for a
number of years, and as member Of
the town council, secretary OF
Standpoint Commercial club, and
an active participant In all
those movements that speak for
the betterment OF the community he
has made his Influence felt end ap-
preciated all.
H. B. CARAT is one OF the highly
intelligent and practical farmers that
has done much to show the wisdom OF
his faith In Bonner county soil and
climate. He owns and manages a
farm that is not only matter Of pride
to him but is to all the neignborhood
around The farmers have a right to
| feel that their interests should be rep
resented In making the laws of this
state, and this section has an oppor-
| tunity, in selecting II. b. Carratt as its
representative, to see that the farming
interest is in good hands.
For the county office all except AL
len p. Asher for county attorney and
Grant Prichard for commissioner have
had successful and valued experience in
office. The two new names will at
once command respect wherever they
are known. Attorney Asher has been
established In Standpoint for a num-
Der of years, and by force of ability
and honesty has built up an enviable
reputation for doing what is right and
doing IL well. He will, If elected, en-
force the laws without fear or favor
and will do all in his power to sus-
tain the confidence reposed in him.
Grant Prichard is probably one OF
the best known and most highly es-
teemed farmers in the county. He
has been honored by being elected
president of the farmers county union
and in this capacity has been able to
come into close touch with the agri-
cultural interests, and his selection
as candidate for commissioner, was
the result of the estimation in which
he is held by the people of the county
in general, and the farmers In parti-
cular. He was In the livery business
in Standpoint for many years, and has
been road oyerseer in his district FOL
four years. With IL years knowledge
of the needs of Bonner county, anC
with his reputation for solid judgment
and integrity, he will serve the peo
pie with the same zeal efficiency anC
honesty that has always characterized
his undertakings
Three of the county offices that arr
especially closely related are those o
the clerk, assessor and treasurer. TIT
proper conduct of these requires
high degree of skill, accuracy and wis
dom. The present officers, Robt.
McCrea clerk of court and ex-offici'
auditor and recorder; w. w. Vol
Canon assessor. and Andrew
Christensen, treasurer. IL can con
fdently be said without fear or sue
cessful contradiction that no county il
the state has the above named officie
nlled more aceeptabiy TO the peopi
