Having been nominated at the pri-
mary election held September LIST for
the office of district judge, | desire to
make the following announcement to
the people of the district.
If am elected Judge on the third OF
November, will exert my utmost abil-
ity and conscientiously devote my time
and energy to the performance of the
duties of the office.
believe that there is too much de-
lay in the courts. From my expert
ence at the bar l believe a large part
of this can be remedied by the judge.
l promise to use my best endeavor
to SO systematic and arrange the
court work that litigants may be
granted speedy relief.
also believe that the business OF
the courts can be more economically
administered without impairing the
functions. To this end l would be
willing to try all cases, in which the
parties or their attorneys might agree,
without a jury, thus expediting BUSH
ness and saving litigants and the pub
lie the expense attending jury trials.
l believe in the broad interpreta-
ton of the law, and not in allowing
technfcalities to defeat or impair a
fair and substantial administration
Of Justice. w. A. BABCOCk.

TO THE VOTERS OF TWIN FALLS
COUNTY.

AS q candidate for member Of the
State legislature from Twin Falls
county, l desire to make clear my posi-
ton, since l am accused of represent
ing but single issue, that of county
division.
am one of three regular nominees
of the Democratic party and stand for
every principle of good clean govern
ment advocated by that party.
Should be elected, shall use every
honorable means in my power for the
bettermnt of the laws of the state of
Idaho.
Some of the vital questions that will
come before the next session of the
legislature are revision of the revenue,
the public utilities, the primary, the
school, the highway, and the liquor
laws. These are problems that only
business men and men of experience
along special lines should presume to
solve.
| believe in economy and business
methods in conducting the affairs of
the state Taxation should be based
upon actual cash values as nearly as
can be ascertained, and all property
should be assessed upon the same bias.
Is anu UGdI lLS PlOPOI LlOAdlC pau VI
the burden of maintaining government
Our present revenue law is ineffective
in that it discriminates and allows
class legislation.
l believe that the state should have
a public utilities law; but the pres
ent law is not fulfilling the functions
for which it was intended. Instead of
regulating it is debating, and doing
the very things the people intended
that it should not do.
The primary law is sorely in need
Of revision that it may serve the pur-
poses for which it was drafted
Our public school laws are in de-
plorable condition and should be re-
written en- totos
am a firm believer In internal i'm
provements in the way of good roads,
bridges, ETC.; but do not advocate a
reckless haste in trying to accomplish
these improvements in too short a
time, and thereby incur an expense
the people cannot stand. believe
that a systematic method should be
worked out and followed from year to
year until completed.
am in favor of state wide prohibi-

ARIZONA STATE FAIR.
Noted Aviator Will Perform Feats
 in the Air Every Day.

Secretary T. B. Shaughnessy, of the Arizona State Fair, has directed particular attention this season, to the preparation of the free acts, for the entertainment of the fair patrons. for sensational stunts.
 all the free attractions, as they are called, will be the coming of Lincoln Beachey's foremost aviator, Mickey Mcclure, who, under the sobriquet of the well known Irishman, has been making fine exhibitions at number of aviation meets and fair gatherings throughout the land this summer.
 Mickey Mcclure, who many believe will follow the manner of his very dar- ing teacher, Lincoln Beachey, is but a boy in years, yet he stands today as one of the most daring air pilots who has taken up this great work
 Scarcely a few days have elapsed since the one who is to do the flying at the Arizona State Fair, electrified the whole world with his performances over the top of the White House for the edification of the President of the United States.
 In sending Mickey Mcclure, it Is the desire of the Lincoln Beachy Avf- ation company to give to Phoenix the first peep at one of the men whom Lincooln Beachey believes to be the greatest young aviator in America.
 This feature alone will stand as the guide to many of the other sensational and daring acts which will be offered in front of the big grandstand.

cLiFroN-DuNcAN ROAD WORK
Are Employed on the Valley Dis tricts.

Considerable road work is being done at present in the Duncan valley. The most difficult piece of work is being done near York, near the Reese Webster ranch, where a big camp is being maintained. This sec tion of the Duncan-Clifton road is the most costly portion of the valley work being done at the present time, and the two miles of road will cost about $20,000. The country is rough and much blasting must be done. About 100 men are at work at this camp.
 From Duncan to the state line, distance of 7 miles, number of men are at work preparing the roadbed for the gravel and establishing an even grade.
 The road down the river from Dun- can to Apache grove, a distance of 16 miles, which is also to be regarded and graveled, is badly in need of repairs, due to washouts during the recent rains, and men are now being put at work on this section of road.
 All the road work being done in the valley will probably be completed within three months, or by the first of the year, when there will be a good road from the state line to within about 12 miles from Clifton. This road is a portion of the state high way system planned.

Question Has Been Raised by Chair man Hickey of the cochise County Board of Supervisors Who Will Bring Test Case in Courts.

1 Considerable interest has been aroused throughout the state among the several candidates for the office of Supervisor by reason of the posi- tion taken by Gus Hickey, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Co- chise county. MT. Hickey is a member of the present board of super visors and is Chairman thereof under the old law by reason of having re- ceived the highest number of votes at the last election The contention of MT. Hickey is that the new statute, providing for the election of three supervisors from supervisorial dis tricts, was not in operation at this election, consequently he holds over under the old law for two years more. It is understood that MT. Hickey has taken the question up with the various Chairmen of Boards of Supervisors throughout the state, who will be likewise retained in office provided the courts uphold the old law.
 It is understood that the county at torney of Pima county has given as his opinion that the chairman should hold over and has advised the chair man of the Pima county board, as we'll as MT. Hickey and other chair men who desire to hold over, to carry their cases to the courts in case the governor ruled against them. Now [ that he has done so, it remains to be seen if Hickey and the other chair men will do so. It is understood that there has been considerable cores pondence among them throughout the state and that any legal action taken will be a concerted one.
 Advices from Phoenix, however, are 4< kI-4 %I4 erals office has advised the Governor that three supervisors should be elected in each county at the approach ing November election. That portion of the Governors proclamation, desig- hating the county officials to be elected in each county on November 3, is as follows:
 ''Now, therefore, I. George W. P. Hunt, governor of the state of Ari- zona, in pursuance of my duty as prescribed by law do hereby pro- claim general election to be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 1914, for the election of officials as follows: For each county of the state Three supervisors, one judge of the superior court, one clerk of the super for court, one county attorney, one sheriff, one treasurer, one school su perintendent, one recorder, one as- sessor and as many justices of the peace and constables as are author ized by law in the precincts of the several counties.
 Some attorneys, however, go still further than the County Attorney of Pima county, and argue that by req son of, the fact that the election of Supervisors this time is not held in accordance with the present statute (the old statute having been repeal ed on the manner of electing Super visors) that no legal election of Su- pervisors can be held this year and that all three members of old boards of supervisors will continue in office until their successors are duly elect ed and qualified, which will be from districts in the year 1916.
 There is a strong probability that this whole question will be threshed out in the courts in the future.
