General observations show that the

NOFEAR DAVIS, CHAIRMAN

Nofear Davis was born at Mont
pelier, Idaho, in 1866, and his parents
moved to Arizona in 1878, where he
engaged in the mercantile business
for thirteen years prior to moving
to Idaho in 1904. He engaged in
general merchandising at Basalt for
a number of years and built up a
good business. He served as chair
man of the school board and village
treasurer, two modest positions in
volving considerable work and having
no salaries nor thanks attached to
them. but eminently necessary and
useful to the community.
Mr.. Davis is a fine business man,
and his fidelity to his work brought
him some insistent calls to new duties
in Blackfoot as the manager of a
merchandising concern that had suf-
fered long and doubtful struggle for
success under different managers, and
in 1908, Mr.. Davis accepted the man
agement of what is now the Black
foot Mercantile company, a business
that has grown steadily under his
direction until it is one of the largest
in the county

Cor the supreme bench and as con-
sequence he was nominated for such
position, leading the other four aspi-
rants and receiving more votes in the
primary than any other candidate.
He is a young man of mature years
and has made Idaho his home for
more than thirty years, and for some
several years as boy lived at Idaho
Falls, then Eagle Rock.
The papers of his own district
some thirty in number-almost as
a unit regardless of political parties
commended Judge Walters and his
candidacy in most complimentary
terms, and it will be found that the
lawyers of the state are quite singu-
larly urging his election to the sup
rene bench. He is known to be
earnest, indefatigable, unafraid of
work and of unquestionalbe integ-
rity. A number of the old residents
in Blackfoot knew Judge Walters in
his boyhood days.

Edward A. Walters, who is can
didate for justice of the supreme
court, has during the past eight years
been district judge Of the fourth
judicial district This district COM
prises the counties of Gilmore,
Gooding, Blaine, Lincoln, Minidoka,
Twin Falls and Cassia, and is the
largest district in the state. Judge
Walters was elected district Judge of
this district eight years ago on the
Republican ticket and after having
served his one term of four years
he was endorsed by all of the attor-
neys Of the district and all political
parties for denomination and elec-
ton, and consequently had no oppo-
sition, either in the primary or at
election time. He is just completing
his second term and several months
ago announced that he would not
be candidate for re-election to the
district bench, and shortly thereafter
his many friends in the state per-
suaded him to become a candidate

GRACE M. STEVENS
COUNTY TREASURER

Born at Monmouth, Illinois, raised
in Oneida and Bingham counties,
Idaho, educated at Blackfoot, Boise
and Portland University, the first
stenographer the supreme court of
Idaho ever had. Mrs. Stevens pro-
poses to make her own living, and
asks to be elected county treasurer.
Mrs. Stevens is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. T. Morgan, who
came to Idaho in it's early days,
opened a bank in Blackfoot, had it
wrecked, lost all they had in the
failure, he spent the rest of his life
trying to recoup his fortunes, was
for many years chief justice of the
supreme court, educated his daught-
ers and taught them bookkeeping
and office work, and left Idaho the
finest heritage he could and has
passed out.
Mrs. Stevens does not expect any
votes on account of what has been
enumerated above; we only stated
those things to identify her and her
people. Mrs. Stevens is we'll and
strong and able to work and is look
ing for work of the kind that she
is best qualified to do. She intends
if elected, to apply herself to learn
ing just how to conduct the work
of the treasury and then devoting
her time to it during her tenure of
office, employing only so much help
as may be necessary to have during
the rush of the taxpaying period.
There are seven counties in Idaho
that have women treasurers, and
their services are said to be eminent
ly satisfactory. Mrs. Stevens wants
to add one to the list, and it is her
desire to merit the approval of those
she serves.

to vote for Dickinson or help fill the
senate with Democrats, and Dickin-
son won on this kind of an emery
ency. The county has been in dis
grace about it ever since, and now
Dickinson is seeking another office
at the hands of the electorate whom
he has already Inundated and dis
graced.
From the time Dickinson got on
the train to go to Boise to take his
seat in the lower house he began to
bring unfavorable comments upon
his county, and to win the displeasure
of other members. His unpopulartiy
steadily increased until it became
joke among the men, that whenever
Dickinson butted into a group engag-
ed in conversation they began to scat
ter to get away from him.
In the senatorial contest Bingham
county was for Brady, always has
been and is now, but both represen-
tatives personally favored other men.
So long as they were not instructed,
and in view of the fact that no popu-
lar action was taken to have them
cast the vote of this county for any
one n particular, they voted as they

A. S. DICKINSON
COUNTY ATTORNEY

A. S. Dickinson, the candidate for
county attorney, is the man who took
the nomination on the Republican
ticket for the lower house of the
legislature in 1912 by default. No
body seemed to want the place. and
those whe were urged to take the
nomination because of their fitness,
declined to give that much of their
time to the public. Dickinson hung
around the clerk office until the last
hour for filing nominations, and then
seeing that the place was still vacant
filed his own. The Republicans want
ed men in the legislature who would
help elect Republican to the senate
of the United States, and so they had

Davis married Miss Sigma Jacobson,
and they have six children and fine
home on South Shilling avenue. Mr..
Davis is quiet and unassuming, a
lover of peace harmony, and one
whose word is as good as bond. If
he gets into politics it will be because
it is a public duty and not because he
has any desire for public office. We
do not think he would accept one
except in self defense anC to protect
the public interest. He is acting as
chairman of the Republican party
somewhat under protest, AMI this
article is written for publication with
out his knowledge or consent. We
just thought you ought to know the
man.

and lived for number of years
at Shelton, Nebraska, before COM

one year at Idaho Falls and then
came to Blackfoot.

Garfield Bond is one of the firm
of Bond Brothers and company, own
ers and operators of the Bond eleva-
tor in Blackfoot and a large farm
east Of Moreland. A western man
who has spent most of his life in
Bingham county, he has been sew
eral years on the city council, and
is rapidly learning how to stand be-
tween the public and the individuals
who appear before public boards and

G. H. HoLBROOK, COUNTY CLERK

G. H. Holbrook, the candidate for
county clerk, is native of Mon
mouth. Illinois, and came to Black
foot with his parents in 1888. He
received part of his education in the
Blackfoot schools and finished in the
schools of Monmouth. He has en-
gagged in the business pursuits in
Blackfoot all his life, and in the
time served seven years as clerk of
the school board and two terms as
city clerk. He has wide acquaint-
ance with the public, and nearly
everybody knows George Holbrook.
He has been for some years in charge
of the shoe department of the firm
of Kinney and company, and is one
of the most popular and efficient
statesmen in Blackfoot.
In the year of 1895, Mr.. Holbrook
was married to Miss Belle Gray,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Gray, of Blackfoot, and they have one
son, Lowell, and daughter, Barbara.
They J ave beautiful home at the
corner of East Bridge and University
avenue.
Mr.. Holbrook would IKE to be
county clark and it will be his am
bition to so conduct the multifarious
records and duties of the office in
such way that 1t will give satisfac-
ton to the public, and when the
records are audited there will be no
fault found with his work.
