he would be a capable, efficient
officer, and the state would not
suffer a bit from his service.
Since the above was written, meet
ing of the republicans and progressives
was held at Shos hone, in which it was
agreed that the progressives should
name two caI,didatss---the probate
judge and the county attorney. They
will name Mr.. r. F. Reeves of Rich
field for probate judge, and Paul S.
Haddock of ShOshone for county attor-
ney. Mr.. Had dock has been promi-
nent in the Progressive P party move
ment since that was started two years
ago, and the effort is being made to
force him to accept the office. He is
capable attorney, though he has had
no desire to serve in any official csps-
city.
At this meeting, it was agreed to ap-
portion at least part of the county Off
ces so as to avoid any possibility of any
locality being not represented Sho-
shone is to have the auditor and the at
torney; Richfield the probate judge and
the assessor; Jei :ome the treasurer and
sheriff. This do rs not cover all Of the
county offices, al I'd leaves a good field
for other precincts to be represented.
1t should be said that these apportion-
ments are according to commissioner
districts, but the towns named are the
principal parts of each as named.

Richfied Has q Team of Players
Who Might Win

A bunch of Richtield boys got to-
gether one night last week to organ
ize and practice for game they hac
with Dietrich the next day. 1t took
several rigs to haul the boys oyer and
it was very hot and dusty ride. This,
together with the loss of the game,
would cause many a team to lose in
crest but not so with the Richfield team.
With little more practice they will be
strong enough to fear nothing around
this part of the state. The final score
was IA to in favor of Dietrich. The
Richfield boys made very good showing
for the amount of practice they have
had. The Richfield team had the game
cinched up to the eighth inning, the
score being Z to 1. when streak of bad
luck and a few errors lost them the
game. The Dietrich team took advan-
tage of this opportunity and run in 10
more runs making the final score IA to

Richfield and North School Hold

About IS people went out from
Richfield to the Sunday School
rally at the school house north OF

time was given mostly to the Wis

NEW PAPER
III. b. Jones Starts Democratic
Publication in ShoshOne

hOAISltAOAA III A1AAOcAAO1.C
H. B. Jones is planning to branch out
as newspaper magnate of some stand
ing. He is going to start new demo-
cratic newspaper at shoshone, the name
of which has not yet been announced.
He had owned the Gooding Gazette,
which he sold, but lack of business
down there has led to the suspension Of
that publication, and leaves him with
the plant on his hands. This he will
take to Shoshone, and establish perm
anent paper in the place of the many
fly-by-night outfits that have drifted in
there to drift out on the first adverse
wind. Mr.. Jones is live newspaper
man, one who has a positive genius for
making friends and getting news and
business, and he will get cut paper
that will be credit to himself and the
community. He will still retain the
Glenn's Ferry Gazette, which he pur
chased three months ago.

At an official meeting of the Sunday
School, Wednesday night, X. G. Phelps
handed in his resignation as superinten-
dent, to take effect after the coming
Sunday, as he is going away to be gone
for some weeks and he felt the School
should have regular superintendent
during that time. He has served two
years, and in that time he has never
been absent, or late to service. The
Sunday School Board gave him fine
vote of thanks for his excellent SER
vices. Mrs. Mcmahon, the assistant
superintendent. will serve out the rest

imous support of the community
without regard to politics. No mar
ever stood better here, for sterling
honesty, for capabililty in handling
things with courage and judgment
and yet without wanton offense.
The Recorder would be glad tc
mention the democratic aspirants
for office, if there are any others.
But it is only within the past two
or three days that even the repub-
lican candidates could be guessed
at, so it isn't much wonder that not
everybody has as yet decided what
to do.
H. D. Heist will be out for pros
ecuting attoreny, to succeed him
self. His work for the county has
been highly commended, by the Of
ficers who depend on him for adj
vice; and there seems to be no rea-
son for hunting up new candi-
date to displace him
Miss Cook will probably be al
most if not altogether alone in her
race for the school superintendency.
She has been very efficient off
Ger, and will have a host of friends.
Both she and Mr.. Heist were elect
ed on the democratic ticket.
A. F. Tage of Jerome will prob
ably be the only candidate for sher-
if on the republican ticket. He
has been deputy sheriff and mar
shall there for three years, and
bears a good record for efficiency.
It has been supposed that Clarence
of Shoshone, the present
office deputy sheriff, and first
class officer, would announce. He
has earned recognition if he should
ask for it, and would make an es-
pecially capable officer.
Nomination papers were filed
Tuesday for w. T. Dougherty of

have no opposition, as his

campaign.
The Recorder is not able to name
all the candidates for judge in th'
Fourth district. Here are those
whom it can name: Judge c. O
Stockslager, c. c. Babcock, J. NJ
Wise, of Twin Falls; and one Oh
two others whose names can nor
now be recalled;A. D. Barclay, OF
Jerome; J. r. Boutwell,, of Sho-
shone; w. T. Stafford. of Good
ing; J. E. Edgerton, of Soldier; E,
NJ. Wolfe of Mountain Home. Two
Judges are to be selected. The Re
corder has expected to favor Mr..
Wise for one-and the other place
IS in doubt at this time. Judge
Edgerton of Soldier would be a
strong, capable man, and Judge
Stockslager has been very success
full. But it would not be fair to as
sumo that the others are not also
good-only you can't say all the
nice things about all Of them at
the same time and get anywhere
with it.
If anyone has any designs on the
legislature, he has hid them out in
the brush. 1t was said that Paul
Kartzke, of Jerome, wanted to go
to the senate, but that is not veri-
fled w. S. Parkhurst, Farmer
Bill of Richfield, might enter that
race; he would be a live one for
the sixty-days session, and would
be real public asset.
If any one has the faintest no
ton of wanting to 60 as represen-
tative, he has not let it be known,
on either ticket.
F. F. Reeves Of Richfield is
likely to try for probate judge. He
is an incorruptible man with wide
experience in politics and in plain
life, and he would be an ideal corn-
sellor and judge.
Judge Copp, the present probate
judge, would like to be made coun-
ty treasurer, and he will ask for
that and not for his present berth.
He would fill the office eminently
well, if what his friends say Of his
ability be true.
V. V. Bower will ask for the as
sessorship. He has assessed the
tract for the past three
years, and his books have been the
best ever sent in from any part Of
tn county. He is trained book
keeper and office man, and at the
same time he knows the outdoors
like a book. The man who slips
over on him in assess
ment, is a pretty shrewd one in
deed-and he is likely to have to
use marked cards in doing it.

Make Politics Your Business

There will be meeting of all those who inter-
ested in the Republican and Progressive ticket at the
Commercial Club rooms, Monday at clock for
the purpose of talking some important political
business matters for the coming campaign All are
earnestly urged to attend.
This is meant to be Exclusive, what is good
for citizen here good for ALL regardless of pot
cal But it is recognized that all official business,
under the present law, must be handled under some
form of partisan designation and the political names
have to be observed
The democrats of the community were to meet Sat-
urday to talk the matters---and perhaps
largely the same men. There will be community
quarres the selected to look after the county
government, which is absolutely non-partsan except in
formal name.

Of the three would be well qualified
to fill the place, or to go on up to
the first place in case the elected
governor should fall out.
There are three candidates for
the state treasurership. O. V. Al
len will risk theusual hoodoo of a
third term, and will ask for a re-
nomination John w. Eagleson Of
Boise will also ask for endorsement
though the fact that he has been so
active in the Brady campaign will
limit his support a great deal. Or
dinarily it would look to be bad
guess. Byron Defenbach, state
senator from Bonner county, has
announced himself, and will prob
ably make pretty active campaign.
He is a live wire, and will make
any one go hard, to beat him.
Judge E. A. Walters, of Sho-
shone, has decided to enter the race
for the supreme bench. He has
