An Endorsement for Assessor Won
Canon

We, the undersigned, have
worked for Assessor VonCanon in
the capacity of field deputies. and
we are frank TO say that no man
could be fairer than Mr.. Won Can
on. In every instance he has in
sisted that everybody be treated
alike In his instructions to dep
uties he says: That all property
subject to assessment must be as
sessed on an equitable basis regard
less of ownership.
The assessors Office is certainly
the most difficult Office in the coun-
ty to fill, and we believe that, with
the experience'he has had, and his
fairness to everyone, that Mr..
Won Canon is the best qualified
man in Bonner county for the
Office of county assessor.

Auto Accident Sunday

Kenneth Mahoney and a party
of friends who were enjoying an
auto ride with him last Sunday,
had narrow escape from being
seriously hurt when as the car was
being driven down the hill on the
north side of the county bridge
the brakes and steering gear failed
to work and the car plunged head
long over the embankment, turn
ing over three times and finally
landing right side up on rocks some
fifty feet distant. Young Mahon-
ey's friends jumped before the car
left the road and Mahoney himself
was thrown clear of the machine.
He was rendered unconscious by
the fall but was not seriously in
jured and is able to be up and
around.

EACLESON FOR
TREASURER
Respected Boise Man Selected to Taks
Aliens Place ON Republican
State Ticket
LEADING MEN ENDORSE HAINES
State Ticket Will Not Suffer Through
Allen Deal

Boise, Oct %. (Special) John
w. Eagleson of Boise, one of the
states cleanest citizens, is the re-
publican candidate for state treas
urer. His name was placed on the
ballot Saturday by the republican
state executive committee. Mr..
Eagleson was a candidate in the
primaries for the nomination and
ran second in field of four. He
is particularly strong where he is
best known, and ran ahead of AL
len by large vote in Ada county.
His candidacy brings great strength
to the ticket.
The state press, fearless and in
dependent, has been absolutely fair
in the discussion of the Allen mat
ter, speaking in the highest terms
of Governor Haines prompt action
in making complaint against Allen
and calling for fair play for him
and the state ticket against the use
of the unfortunate circumstances
as a source of attack from demo
cratic headquarters The event
and the manner in which the emer-
gency was met, promptly and eff
fectively, has brought Governor
Haines an added strength rather
than loss of it, much to the con-
sternation of the opposition which,
when the story first broke, "
rushed to it like buzzards to car
rion, with the hope that the situa-
ton would rebound to the discredit
of the republican state ticket. In
stead they have found that the vot-
ers of Idaho are Immediately re-
sponsive to fair play and ready to
rebuke any effort made to capital
ize the situation which was so well
efficiently and honestly handled.

first and candidate for governor
second" paying his first debt to
the people of the state and leaving
the political situation it left to q
fair minded, honest constituency
unswerved by political prejudice.

Took Wrong Medicine

Miss Laura Gleed is recovery
nicely from the effects of burns
caused by the application of car
bolic acid instead of a liniment.
The accident occurred last Friday
and was due to the fact that the
liniment and the acid were kept in
the same sized bottles and were of
the same color. Mrs. Gleed ap-
piled emergency relief as soon as
the mistake was discovered and her
prompt action saved Miss Gleed

The Herald,

Dear Editor;
l observe that Mr.. J. w.
Holmes, through the progressive"
supplement to the Northern Idaho
News, is making an attack on As
SCISSOR Won Canon.
l do not want the campaign to
close without paying my little trib-
ute to Mr.. Won Canon's efficiency
and honesty. He served as my
chief deputy for two years, and /
am not alone in considering him as
one of the best, if not the very
best, assessor in the state. I am
under no earthly Obligations to
him in any way, but l sincerely
hope that the people of my old
home will not make the serious
mistake of dismissing so compe.
tent a servant as Won Canon is.

ing of the state board last summer >.
and found that the assessors of the
state all looked on him as leader
among them.
Mr. Holmes is making a serious
mistake. He accepted Mr.. You
Canon's appointment of himself a.
a deputy, and in common deceHcy
should be loyal to the man who be-
friended him. At least, if a fight
is to be made, he should allow
some one else to make it, Ingrat-
itude and disloyalty are poor rec
ommendation for a public official
If Mr. Won Canon's ideas were not
in accordance with those of Mr..
Holmes, the latter should have de-
clined appointment, or else should
have resigned at once.
l am glad to testify to Mr.. Won
Canon's absolute honesty and i'm

and competency.
Very truly yours,
