Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1914-10-02


upon the accuracy and preservation OF
the records Will depend the title OF
realty In this county In the future
years. Mr.. Wood has kept his AFFAIRS
In q condition that has called forth
praise from all who have had busi-
ness In his office, and the close study
he has made Of his work during the
past two years, and the thorough man
ner in which he has acquitted him
self, certainly entities him to re-elec-
ton.
II. S. Remer came into his office
with the promise to do all within his
I, power to enforce the laws, regardless
of whether such action was popular or
not Can any one point to a single
| instance where he has failed to make
good? He can not be bought, brlbed
or inundated from discharging his
duty. He has introduced innovations
and up-to-date methods in handling
the prisoners, that have been appre-
ciated by them, end has been matter
of economy to the county. Mr.. Remer
and his deputies have been on the job
"a hours day, 2ld seven days in the
week. ever since he has been elected.
He has never considered his office as
a place in which to play politics, but
| has always considered that his entire
| services were due to the people; and 1t
| is upon his record alone that he is
asking the voters to pass judgment.
| The appearance of the buildings and
the grounds connected with the
sheriff's office. the official records,
the economical manner in which the
office has been handled, the unstinted
praise that has come to Mr. Remer
from all sides is especially pleasing
to his hosts of friends who vouched
| for him two years ago, and are ready
with many others to stamp their APP
proval on his administration in the
coming election.
| The county commissioners and the
surveyor have extremely difficult posi-
| lions to fill. The commissioners
handle the immense business of the
county with the numerous branches,
and provide for the many emergen-
cies that arise from time to time. The
surveyor marks out the roads, makes
estimates of the probable cost of roads
and bridges and assists in their con-
struction. George McCombs and Don
McColl both won out after q fair sub
hitting of their claims at the recent
primaries, in competition with two ex-
lcellent men, and they ask the public,
who make use Of roads, to say
whether or not they have made good
In this department of their official
work. These men both have the sturdy
Qualities of rugged honesty that has
characterized ard the independence
Ito refuse to let any one do their think
ling for them. They have consistently
lrefused to be bullied, cajoled, or
bluffed into squandering the public
funds, and have been subjected to
Imuch unmerited criticism on this ac-
count but the evidence is undisputed
that they have more actual accom-
plishments to their credit than any
Iprevious board IN the county's history.
and have a record OF economy that
they can point to with pride.
| George McCombs has had Wide ex-
Iperience as commissioner In one OF the
eastern states and has equally valu-
liable experience as such In this county.
He received a strong endorsement In
his home town at the last primary and
is confident of reelection this fall.
He wants to be judged on what he has
lactually done no. on what some dis
/
has done. He pledges the public that
if elected he will still continue to ia
Ivor the expenditures of public funds
only when he is convinced that the
public is being benefited, and that he
; will not use it for the payment OF
! political debts, for putting lame ducks
in soft snaps, regardless of the pres
