Bonners Ferry herald., 1916-11-03
Our Republican County Ticket

The ticket the republicans have
in the field is composed of those
who have proved their worth. For
the most part the ticket is COM
posed of those who have lived in
this district for many years.
The republican ticket was not
handpicked There were lively scraps
for nearly every office. The result
of the primary election was the
choice of the majority of the voters
and we are certain that but few,
if any, went into the republican
primary election with the purpose
of trying to hurt the republican
ticket. Those who might have want
ed to do this were scared out early
in the game.
What is true Of the county ticket
is also true of the state and ma
tional ticket. The majority ruled
and 1t is assured that the majority
made wise selections and that they
will back up the selections mada
in the primary election on November
7th.
What two men more fitted for
representing Boundary county in the
state legislature could have been
selected than w: S. Walker for
senator and A. ]. Kent for repre-
sentative? These men have lived
over 20 years in this community
They have been actively identified
with every public spirited movement.
They know the needs of every class
in this county. They have the wis
dom and sagacity needed to bring
about the enactment of legislation
! wi fn he e
Boundary county and the state as
a whole.
Then we challenge anyone to oues-
ton the honesty, prudence. or bust
ness sagacity of the republican can
didates for county commissioners
Malcom Bruce, w. r. Hoagland and
w. E. Rath. These too are men who
have long lived in this county and
who Lave been number ID among its
most trusted and respected men.
They 'tand for economy and eff
ficiency in office. They assure the
voters ard the taxpayers that they
will rra :tict the same conservative
business principles in county affairs
as in personal affairs. They will
deal firmly, play favorites to no
person or class, give every man
and woman fair deal. What more
can you ask?
For sheriff the republicans are
unanimous in their endorsement of
Harry Sawyer. a man of years of
experience and one who is consci-
entious and thorough in the perform
ance of his duty. Mr.. Sawyer's
record as a peace officer and his
years of experience should be suffici-
ent to insure his election.
w. I. James, the republican can
didate for treasurer, is a man well
fitted for the office he seeks. There
is no question of his ability, there
can be no doubt of his honesty. The
great majority of the voters of the
county know him personally. They
know that he will handle the work
of the office of county treasurer
cheaply and at the same time with
efficiency.
For probate judge it is certain
that every voter may be proud of
having the opportunity to vote for
p: R. Henderson, the "Grand Old
Man" of Boundary county. He is
just, equitable, slow to decisions and
a man whom We all trust. He is
! also fitted for the office through
experience he has gained in this
and other states. Let US give Mr..
Henderson q pleasing majority on
) Elr1er Des Voignes, rancher of
the Copeland district and man
who has lived in Idaho for 22
years, is the republican candidate
for assessor. He is one of the few
candidates on either ticket who does
not claim Bonners Ferry as his resi-
dence and on this account he ought
TO nave the support of all those
who do not want Bonners Ferry nre.
cinct TO get the name of "boggino
it." We all know his qualifications
Ex- Congressman French, in a recent
address here, told the voters of his
{ acquaintance with Mr.. Des Voignes
gave him the strongest kind of 2
; recommendation, praised his ability
IN the line of work demanded of the
county assessor and urged the peo.
: pie OF this county to support Mr.
/ Des Voignes' candidacy. Des Voignes
5 mas worked hard for the honor ht
seeks. If elected he will work lust

the taxpayers of the county.
In their candidate for the office
OF county superintendent of school.
, the republicans have a young woman
whose experience, ability and repu
tation is all that could be desired
