Man Wanted

There is a growing feeling that
this is going to be a Republican
year, if the right mar can be found
for leadership in the nation and in
the several states which have been
Republican in the past. The Demo-
Gratis are justly subject to the charge
Of ineficiency. They have failed to
realize the promises of their cam
paign orators, they are divided
among themselves, and they have
committed some extravagances and
some absurdities. The county wants
a change, but it must be clear that
the change is for the better. The
Republicans a win, but only with
policies and leaders that deserve
victory.
In looking over conditions in Ida
no, it is encouraging to observe the
number of men who aspire to lead
the Republican party, but an exami-
nation of the qualifications of most
of the aspirants does not tend to
stimulate over-confidence in the
success of a campaign under their
leadership. They are good men and
deserve well of the party. but in
frank and intimate discussions of
their qualifications Republicans
do not display enthusiasm or conf
dence. In spite Of all the criticism
which may be leveled at the present
Democratic Governor, the rank and
file of Republicans are convinced
that it will be a mans size Job to
defeat him.
Of all the candidates and possible
candidates that have been discussed
George E. Crum of Lewiston ap-
pears to inspire more confidence
than any other, and it may be that
in him the Republicans will find the
leader they are seeking. Mr.. Crum
has lived for many years in Idaho,
and familiar with the needs of all
parts of the state, and is we'll known
and liked all over the state. He
has had enough political experience
to prove his qualifications both for
the campaign and for executive
work. He has attained a moderate
independence in private business by
his wv brains and energy and ian
afford to accept the office and dis
charge his duties without being
affected by any mean consideration.
Politically, he has escaped the feuds
and bitterness of the more recent
divisions within the party and in
consequence he is acceptable to all
ele elts of the party. He is simple,
direct, forceful, engaging in manner

1t is one of the features of the
uplift of the young people of Ken
drick. The banquet was given by
the losing side in a contest of efici-
ency in the endeavor. The captains
and the mates of either side worked
hard for six months and together
made about 1900 points all for the
betterment of the Christian idea.

Rev. Matney said grace, and all
went to work neatly and nicely and

things to eat.
After, DR. Smith made a few
short remarks L. G.. Peterson the
president called for ten toasts from
the boys and girls of the society.
We assure you they were gems Of
thought and wit, and speaks we'll
for the kind of characters the young
people of Kendrick cater to.
The evening after the banquet
was spent in games and plays that
kept up the merriment until the
IL o'clock hours, when we all came
to the front and had the singing of
hymns andprayer, then closing by
ringing out the old year and singing
in the New Year. There was much
happiness and joy on this occasion.
