CANDIDATES ARE GETTING
INTO THE FIELD FOR
PRIMARY ELECTION

Only once in two years does the gay
and festive politician flower, bull
moosers excepted. They are in bloom
all the time. When the biennial event
takes place all good people take cog
nizance of the fact. Right now is the
time when the bloom Of the politician
is beautiful, fragrant and protuse.
Boise is the center of the flower gar
den but all things considered Caldwell
runs her close second. There to our
certain knowledge some ri prospect
i've candidates in Caldwell. This of
course takes stock of all parties of
which we have five and few more
in incubation, if parties are incubated.
In the space at our disposal we can
not mention even by name all the
candidates. 1t must suffice to make
mention of those likely to get the
nomination of their parties. We conf
mence with the Republican party and
start at the head of the list. For
state senator there is Hon. L. NJ.
kirkpatrick of Parma, whose OPP
poncnt at the primaries will be +. X.
lays, the sage Of Emmett. Both are
splendid men q. +. Berry, the solon
y
Nampa's most representative citizen;
A. J. lockwood OF Roswell
at present member of the
house; X. w. Cakes of Caldwell; ID.
w. Ainey of Payette, and G. S.
French OF New Plymouth are candi-
dates for representatives. All Of
these men are mentioned from time
to time. Sizing up the Republican
legislative candidates we would say
that they are as dry as bone, with
or without a dry platform.
For sheriff F. M. Breshears has no
opposition at the present time; Meth
or has A. o. Christopher for assessor;
II. G. Gardner for county treasurer;
ID. d. Harger for probate judge; nor
G. w. Stovel for clerk of the district
court. Breshears, Christopher Harger
and Stoval are now in Office and seem
to have given great satisfaction.
Figuratively speaking it is early in the
morning yet and candidates spring
into existance like mushrooms. A
gentle shower and little sunshine
and you have a candidate as perfect
as the morning glory Some of them
also have the other characteristic OF
the morning glory in that they get
cold feet about the heat of the day.
There are two candidates for county
attorney and another in the offing.
Messrs. Alfred F. Stone and w. A.
Stone have stated that they are after
the nomination. Frank Estabrook OF
Nampa feels the call but is as yet un-
decided. Mr.. Fred Mcconnell will be
candidate for founty surveyor. H.
S. Williams and William Moot are
also mentioned from time to time. For
county commissioner in this district
c. A. Williams is an announced can
didate. D. d. Campbell and Robt
Mcclure are looked upon with favor
by hundreds of Republicans If either
IF these two men fail to become a
candidate the other will, and thus
Canyon county is assured of at least
one good county commissioner. In
the Parma district both ]. f. Kerrick
and w. B. Mitchell are in the talking.
In the Payette district w. H. Plat,
the old war horse and one of the best
commissioners the county has ever
had, is coming to the front. Com
missioner Blair will not be candi
date to succeed himself owing to i'll
health. d. NJ Johns of Emmett has
also been mentioned for the Office
Mr.. Johns is a level-headed, broad
minded man. He too would make a
good commissioner but has thus far
