1t is with no small degree o
satisfaction that we learn of tn,
announcement of Mr.. ChaneeY
Wallace, ex-pOstmaster of Nez
perez, to enter the race for secre
tary of state ON the republican
ticket. While his politics ar,
somewhat adverse to our own
yet, knowing him as we do, We
unheSitatingly recommend him
to the voters of the state of Idaho
as a clean, honest, competent mar
for this important position. We
have personally known Mr.. Wal.
lace for the past 20 years, and
for several years we worked to-
gether in the same printing
office, and we can eOnseientiOusly
recommend his ability, honesty
and square dealing, but we wish
he was ON our side of the fence.
He served as deputy state land
commissioner during Gov. Brady s
term and resigned on account of
being appointed postmaster at
Nezperee. During his two years
service as deputy land commits
sioner he gained a wide range of
information concerning the
states holdings, and knows con-
ditions perhaps. as well or better
than any other man in the state.
Such a man as this, with his keen
business ability, would be a man
that would serve the people of
Idaho, and serve them well, on
the different state boards, and
that is where your interests and
my interests are at stake. The
voters of Idaho will make no mis-
take by giving Mr.. Wallace their
undivided support at the primar-
les If he is not nominated it
viii be because the people of the
state don t know him as we know
him.-Lapwai Messenger.
