THE COUNTY TICKET.

|
| The ticket which the Republicans of
Gem county present to the voters at
the approaching election is one de-
serving of the support of every one
who is striving for efficiency in
The public service. Every nominee
is clean and capable and stands high
in the estimation of his neighbors and
acquaintance. 1t is ticket that is
entitled TO have, and should receive,
the solid support of Gem county Re
publicans.
While all the nominees are well
known to the people of this portion
Of the county, to those in the upper
end of the county they may be not so
well known, and brief review of the
personnel of the ticket may not be
amiss:
f. X. Hayes, for senator, was a re-
sident of the Emmett county when
Squaw butte was a hole in the ground.
He has grown up with it and been a
big factor in the development of this
section. Through his endeavors the
creation of Gem county was made pos

Gem county was answering and UNI
faltering. And those who live in the |
upper end of the county are the great
est beneficiaries of his successful eff
forts. His accomplishments entitle
him to be returned and his majority
should be so large as to show the APP
probation he so richly deserves.

raised in the Squaw creek country, he
is widely known He is a successful
young business man of Sweet, he en-
enjoys the confidence of the entire
Squaw creek country, and he possesses
abilities that will make him valuable
member of the states lawmaking
body to which he aspires.
James Flake is the candidate for
of the First district. He
is a prominent rancher Of the Ola
section. a thorough business man and {
a progressive citizen. The almost UNI I
animous vote he received in the pri- I
maries attest the high opinion his {
neighbors have of him.

best citizens. He is a man of sound

advocate of good roads. His platform
is characteristic of the man. He says; t

Mr.. Hughes has been bombarded
with series of hypothetical questions
as to what he would do" or "what he
would have done" had he instead of
President Wilson been charged with
the direction of the affairs of the
Government. Most of these ques-
tons he has answered explicitly,
others by the very nature of the cri-
ticism he had directed at the policy of
the President, and some are an insult
from which his known character and
public record should have protected

MOSES ALEXANDER.

He was here Saturday night, her
aided by his advance agent and tire,
bill posters and assisted in the meet
ing by two ushers brought from Bots,
for the purpose He is the same "olt
Mose;" trifle more polished in his
speech, but not whit less shrewd If
adapting himself to local conditions
He is still the same conglomeration OF
conceit and egotism, never failing tc
remind his hearers that 81, the COVER
nor of this grand state Of Idaho" did
this and that. As he proclaimed that
he it was who induced the new saw
mill to locate in Emmett, we wondered
if the Commercial Club hadn't made
mistake in not presenting the COVER
nor with gold watch instead of G.
b. Mains, and if the kind appreciation
of the services Of John McNish, w.
W. Wilton, e. X. Hayes, and many
others in inducing the mill to locate
here had not been unworthily> bes-
towed-that the praise and glory and
honor and thanks belong to Alexan-
derl We would suggest that a dome
be built on top Of the main building
of the new sawmill and tablet be
set therein and inscribed with these
words: 81, Moses Alexander, did it;
this is my handiwork, un'stanl" The
way our idols fall is one of the ironies
Of fate. But we are glad that at last
we know to whom honor is due.
OF course, the governor wouldn't
lie about little thing like that. not
even to catch few votes, any more
than he would deceive the people on
the Coffin deal and the Huston loan
deal and in the tax levy deal Perish
the thought. His signature on the
Coffin voucher was forged, of course.
Someone impersonated him in the APP
proval of the Huston loan. And Pete
johnson and Nathan Kicks, whom the
governor himself declares are honest
men, deliberately lie when they state
that they had no such conversation
with the governor as he states they
did.
Then there is that little matter
about the passage of the prohibition
oN- IN MS oprNCu utIt ne utCidTcu
that, II, your governor, forced the
legislature to enact the prohibition
aw.' The governors declaration is
imely. History should be set right,
wen if our idols are knocked off their

hat the members of the legislature, {
Who We're supposed to have pledged {
themselves to support the prohibition !
lw prior to their election, were about '

Now, honest, what do you think u
candidate for such position as p
oyernor Of Idaho resorting to such
llful deception in order to catch X
otes? Is he worthy Of the support o.
those who demand uprightness and 81
tegrity in public service? Look up "
lie records and check up the gov pr
'nor's statements, then show your a

act at the polls. 81

Dental campaign. And such being the
case, Lincoln's protective tariff speech
makes good reading. Here it is: II
dc not know much about the tariff but
| know this much: When we buy
manufactured goods at home we get
both the goods and the money. When
an American paid $50 for steel to an
English manufacturer America had
the steel and England the $40 But
when he paid $40 for the steel to an
American manufacturer, America had
both the steel and the 500.

ter known as "Mont" Reed. Like MI
' Flake and Mr.. Bowers, he is not onl
good farmer, but shrewd bushes
J mantle kind that Gem county need
to~manage its business affairs.
For sheriff, Charles Hansen is wei
qualified. He is believer in law en-
forcement, he is fearless in the dis
charge of his duty, has thorough
familiarity with all parts of tn,
county and is man Of strict integ.
gritty.
Mathilda Peterson is the nominee
for treasurer In view of her wide
acquaintance in Gem county, it seems
almost unnecessary to speak of her
splendid qualifications for the posi-
ton. She is an expert accountant and
bookkeeper, a thorough business wo-
man and the soul of honor and integ-
rity.
A. o. Sutton, for probate judge, is
young lawyer of abiIity--a. very
necessary qualification in filling this
position. He is a graduate of the
state university and has taken a
thorough course in law. His fitness
for the office was recognized by the
present commissioners when they APP
pointed him as probate judge, and he
is filling the position with complete
satisfaction.
Miss Holverson has no opposition
for county superintendent of schools.
She is an educator by profession. In
her old home in South Dakota she
served as superintendent of schools
with credit. Since coming to Idaho
she has been one of Emmett's valued
High school teachers.
w. II. Appel, the nominee for as
SCISSOR, has been resident of this sec
ton for six or seven years. Formerly
a business man in the East, he has fol-
lowed ranching successfully since
coming here. He is a good solid cit
izen, of sound judgment and execu-
tive ability. In every way he is
qualified to fill this i'm
portant office.
James Vanderdasson, candidate for
coroner, is one of the oldest settlers
and ranchers in the Payette valley
In old Canyon county he was a MEM
Der of the board of county commits
;ioners for term of years, and has
Tiled other positions of trust in his
precinct and school district.
Geo. w. Knowles, who aspires to
he office Of county surveyor, is
thoroughly qualified for the position
" education and training He is the
'resent engineer of the city of En-
nett
Finley Monroe is the nominee for
ounty attorney. There are few peo-
lie in Gem county who do not know of
is ability as lawyer and his worth
$ man and good citizen. He will
OF burden the county with useless
tigation, neither will he wink at law =
A heavy taxpayer himself t

At dinner given by the Hughes
club of Washington, d. c., recently
Simon Wolf, one of Washington
most substantial citizens, said:
at would have been we'll for the
present administration to have profit
ed by the policy pursued by James G.
Blaine as secretary of state in the
Garfield administration. Mr.. Blaine
sent this message to our minister at
Mexico City:
Read this to the minister of foreign
affairs: Outrages ON American citi-
zens must stop, not next week, but
now. And if they do not, the entire
power of this government will be
brought to bear to stop them
The outrages stopped. Today, un-
der the Wilson administration, they

CURRENT COMMENT.

Not war, but honorable peace, is
the program of the Republican party
and of Mr.. Hughes. For the unstable
and dangerous situation created by
the Instability and insincerity of
Woodrow Wilson they would substi-
tute an enduring peace based on honor
and integrity of purpose, in which
every American citizen afloat and
ashore would find sane and lasting
protection.
