No man stands higher in the bust

Sawyer, who is a candidate for city
councilman. AS a representative Of
the Yates estate, Captain SAWYER is
active in business circles and is con-
stantly making new acquaintances and
friends in every walk of life. A native
OF Maine, Captain Sawyer possesses
the well-known New England quail
ties of shrewdness, alertness and bust
ness acumen combined with unim-
peachable integrity and the highest
sense OF honor. His candidacy is
meeting with growing favor and every
day adds to the list of his SUPPORTS.
Captain Sawyer is one of those men
who are masters of detail and who
take a degree of pride in seeing that
no minor point is overlooked In the
general plan of any enterprise which
they may undertake. Men of this class
make the very best of public officials.
and the citizens of Boise in selecting
Captain Sawyer as a councilman will
insure the highest degree of efficiency
in the administration Of the city's af-
ialrs. A fair deal and a square deal to
every one will be the order of the dav
IN any department over which Captain
Sawyer may be called to preside.
