i Democratic County Ticket
| For members of the legislature
the Democrats present to the voters
of Bingham county, three of as cap.
able men as can be found in Idaho
Mr.. Thomas ]. Bennett, for state sen.

tally for the place, but he is thoroly
conversant with the needs of the PEG.
pie. Mr.. Bennett has served the PEG.
pie of the county as commissioner
and his record in that office is ad.
mitted by all, to have been one of the
best the county ever had. For the
lower house Mr.. Alfred and Mr.
Toevs will represent the county in
a most acceptable manner. Both
know the needs of the people of the
county and state, and both are recog-
nized good business men, and thoroly
honest in all their dealings. The leg.
islative ticket gives the whole county
representations, Mr.. Bennett, coming
from Shelley, Mr.. Alfred from Black
foot, and Mr.. Toevs from Aberdeen.
No happier combination could have
been made than these three repre-
sent.
| For sheriff the Democratic present
Frank DeKay, well known to every
one in the eastern part of the state.
| Hn hoe corund chnriA
made a fine record. He promises if
elected to run the office with two
deputies, instead of three, and they
will be men of good judgment, and
with "a head on their shoulders" that
will not be continually getting them
in bad nor pulling any questionable
stunts in making arrests. Mr.. DeKay
will enforce every law ON the statute
books without fear or favor, and his
thoro knowledge of the office equips
him splendidly for the position. No
better choice could have been made
For probate Judge the Democrats
offer Mr.. w. H. Keller, one of the
county's school principals, and man
who has had considerable experience
already in the work that will come
to that office. BY reason of educa-
ton and experience he is peculiarly
equipped for the position he seeks;
if elected he will inaugurate a new
system in handling juvenile delin-
quent children, change which will
result in greater efficiency in that
office, and a saving of something like
81 900 year to the taxpayers. Like
the other nominees of the Democrats,
Mr.. Keller will make an ideal officer.
For superintendent of schools the
name of William Bartlett, principal
of the Moreland schools, is on the
ticket. No one who knows the can
didate but what acknowledges his
eminent fitness for this position. He
is thoroly familiar with the needs of
Bingham county having lived and
taught in this county for many years.
We believe no better or more capable
man could be found in the county for
this position.
For treasurer, Mr.. Benson, one of
the two Democrats elected at last
ELECTION, is again candidate. His I'M
failing courtesy and ability insures
his reelection to this position. His
past record is but an assurance of
what it will be the coming two years.
His election, like the others, seems
a foregone conclusion. Good service
deserves this reward.
For assessor the name of Mr.. Will
lam M. Dye, of Basalt, is presented.
Mr.. Dye is probably as well posted
on the valuation of all classes of
property in the county as any man in
Idaho. His long experience and resi-
dence in Bingham will be brought in
to use in making up the assessment
lists of the county, and every man
is assured a square deal on the tax
proposition. He will undertake to
do the work without the use of
deputies, especially in making out the
actual assessment as he intends to
go personally to every taxpayer that
lives in the county.
For county surveyor we need only
to say that James Young, elected two
years, ago, is again candidate. Mr..
Young's special fitness for this office
has been demonstrated during his
incumbency, and it has been such
that even the Republicans admit that
his majority will be larger than two
years ago.
For prosecuting attorney Mr.. Beak-
ley needs no introduction to the peo-
pie of this county. He is one of the |
best known attorneys in the south
east part of the state, and is well |
equipped by reason of education and
years of law practice, to make a
splendid record in the county prose-
cutor's office. There will be no favors
shown by him, but all will be treated
as equal before the law.
For the office of coroner the Demo-
Gratis present the name of DR.. Nc
Kinnon, of Aberdeen. Mr.. Mcinnon
Is regular practicing physician, and
is we'll known all over the southern
part of the county, where he has min
istered to the wants of the sick for
a long time. His best recommend is
that he will carry those section in
which he is best known by over
majorities.
The most important position in
the county in the estimation of many
Is commissioner. In this respect the
Democrats have probably selected
