firmly sets his attachment to the
laborers and his influence in the
legislative halls at Boise will not
BE- used, or rather misused, in
any endeaVor to further the con-
troll of our State Government by
corporate interests.
Mr.. Lewis, at heart, is in sym
pathy with the laborers Of Bene-
wah County, and his broad-mind-
edness will not permit him to di-
gress or in any way deviate from
the path that leads to more con-
genial conditions and better COM
pensation for the laborer.
He is in no way affiliated with
any corporation or interest
whereby he might be induced to
support legislation detrimental
TO the interests of the common
people. His whole ambitions,
so far as the Office which he seeks
is concerned, are conferred on the
welfare Of Benewah county and
the State of Idaho.
He owns no factories nor
mills; is interested in no huge
land or timber holdings; and can
take the floor of the Legislature
unbiased; prepared to deal just
ly with both the corporation and
his fellOw-men.
A mans thoughts and actions
are most generally controlled by
his ambitions; the man of large
interests looks forward to the
enactment Of legislation that will
Increase his wealth; the man of
mediocre means looks forward to
the day when he and his fellow
men receive justice from the
hands of the wealthy few; so.
fellow-voter, on November 7, if
you wish to place on the Legis-
alive floor at Boise a man of
your ambitions and your hopes,
vote for c.. II. Lewis.

that time has been constantly at
work in this county and in st.
Maries. He is young. capable
and above all holds the interest
and welfare of the general pub
lie above that of any person, cor
poration or creed.
He is in no way affiliated with
any organization and is in a posi-
ton to draw a jury with all due
justice to either individual or
corporation. This duty of the
sheriff, and one very commonly
abused, places that Office in an
important position with reference
to the common people. Too
often does it occur that a jury is
impanelled which, rather than
mete out justice, throws the bal
ance Of power with some individ-
ual or organization. We feel
confident that the candidate for
sheriff on the Democratic ticket
is sufficiently broad-minded to
avoid such a cowardly abuse of
the power of his Office if elected.
Mr.. holland, if elected, guaran-
tees the public of Benewah cOun-
ty that he will not usurp public
funds for private use; nor will
he accept moneys (aside from the
salary fixed for such Office from
any road district or another
county. We feel that the above
facts, coupled with this young
mans fair-mindedness and in
tegrity, entitle him to much
support at the coming election.

RUTH &. cERHART
Candidate for
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

Miss Gerhart, native daugh-
ter of Idaho, is a graduate of the
Lewiston State Normal School, of
several years teaching expert
ence. During her work of the
past two years she has lessened
the expense of her office from
$3.50 to 5000. She has increased
the average length of the school
year from 8 months to 80 months
and has greatly increased the
percent of attendance in the rur-
al schools. She has promoted
the construction of two modern
one-room school buildings and
has caused the health conditions
of ALL the rural schools to be
much improved.
Industrial or vocational work
has been introduced in all of the
rural districts under her super
vision and many community well
fare associations have been
formed as we'll. She is now
making plans for the standard
ization of all the rural and ivl-
lage schools and this movement,
together with her thorough quail
ifications, should warrant her re-
election.

veyor, has, during the past two
years. attained a knowledge OF
every road and road-need in Ben
ewah county; and in that respect
can be of greater service to the
public than one who has seen but
few of the roads, none of the
prospects, and is unfamiliar
with the road-needs Of the coun-
ty except in a purely theoretical
way.
During his two years of service
he has surveyed approximately
70 miles of road, we'll distributed
over the county, and this includes
all surveys for which petitions
have been rendered him.
1t is his most ardent desire to
open may of the old Kootenai
roads, which for years have been
surveyed and for which rights-Of
way have been secured. These
roads, many of which remained
Untouched under the old Kootenai
county rule. would greatly as
sist the settlement of the west
end of the county and bring that
part OF Iuc county lhOO CLOSER re
lationship with St. Maries and

Mr.. Purvis' present knowledge
of the roads and road-needs of
this county places him in a pO-
sition to produce greater results
than one who, Of necessity, would
require a year or more to acquire
this information. In this par
ticular Office it is practically i'm
possible for an individual unac-
qainted with the onnice to as
sumo its duties without much
preliminary work and because OF
that fact there should be no
