POLITICS
NOW WARMING UP
j. S. NELSON AND JOHN CONE, RE.
PUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR
COMMISSIONERS IN TOWN
Both Making Thorough Canvas of the
County-BOth Men Capable to
FIJI the Job

| Politics in Latah county are begin
ming to warm up and candidates Of
| both parties are active in preparation
| for the primaries which will be Sep
tember 5th. In the democratic prim-
aries there are but slight contests and
all interest is now centering in the
republican primaries.
Two prominent republican candi-
dates arrived in Moscow today in the
interests of their campaign. They
were John Gone of Princeton, repub-
lican candidate for commissioner in
the first district and James S. Nelson
of Big Bear Ridge, republican candi-
date for commissioner from the third
district. Both expressed pleasure at
the strong assurances of support
which they have received. Mr.. Nelson
has been campaigning in the northern
part of the county while Mr.. Come is
now ON his way to the south end of
the county.
Both Mr.. Cone and Mr.. Nelson are
pioneer residents of Latah county and
both are engaged in farming. Mr.
Cone came to Idaho in 1873 and settled
in Latah county and during that time
has lived in Moscow and in Princeton.
He operates nearly 400 acres of land
and has been very successful in man
aging his business. He is married
MAN with family. Mr.. Cone has been
road overseer in his district for a NUM-
ber of years. He stated today that he
was out to win in the present cam
paign and would remain in the field
the people until election day.
Road districts should be laid out SO
that the road tax every man pays can
be used to help him to get to town
easier, and so that a road overseerss
time is not wasted travelling over the
roads of another district in order to
get from one part of his own district
TO another, is the opinion of Mr. Cone
AS a road overseer Mr.. Cone has
given considerable thought to the mat
ef of road improvement and the ad-
of the road work of the |
He believes that the county |
hould be redistricted SO that the roads
n each district are closely related to
ach other, that each district should
orm part of a we'll defined system, |
hat districts should radiate from the !
owns, and that the interests of all the
eople IN any district should be mu-
ual and not competitive or antagon-
,tic.
Mr.. Nelson has progressive ideas
Dncerning road improvements and his
ing experience in the affairs of the
ounty makes him fitted for the Office
, which he aspires.. For the past %
ears Mr.. Nelson has resided in Latah
