WILL HAVE A
STRONG TICKET
Many Prominent Citizens Being Men
toned as Candidates on RepubIi-
can Ticket at Next Primaries
MAKES FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
E. R. Henderson Will Make Race For
Probate Judgeship

Judging from the names WHICH
have been and are being connected
with the various county offices as
possible candidates on the republic
can ticket at the primaries this
coming summer, the republican party
is assured of placing before the vot-
ers list of leading citizens with
tried business ability.
Foremost on this list will stand
the name of E. r. Henderson who
is first to make formal announce
ment of his candidacy for nomina-
ton on the republican ticket as pro-
bate Judge Mr.. Henderson is as
we'll known all over this district as
any person one could select and fur
thermore, in all his public life and
private life in this district, no init
nation of reproach has ever been cast
upon his character and his general
business ability is we'll recognized.
For many Years he has made prac-
teal study of the law and so will be
we'll qualified for the position he
seeks at the hands of the voters of
Boundary county.
The names of o. C. Wilson and S.
E. Henry have been mentioned many
times by their friends as candidates
for the office Of county prosecuting
attorney. Mr.. Henry has announced
his candidacy. He has practiced
law in this district for many years
and his ability is unquestioned. Mr..
Wilson came here over a year ago,
having the highest recommendations
from members of the bar with whom
he had been associated in other
states. He has been connected with
several important suits in the local
courts and his ability and personality
have won many strong friends for
him.
Friends of Attorney MyrHn Davis
have been suggesting among them
selves that he would be well able to
represent Boundary county in the
legislature. His name has also been
mentioned as a candidate for the
office of prosecuting attorney.
Major w. S. Walker has many
friends who are urging that he be-
come a candidate for the Office of
county treasurer and some have sug-
gested that he would no doubt be
the choice of the voters at the pri-
maries for state senator. Major
Walker has thus far refused to give
his friends an answer in regard to
his candidacy. He also would be a
strength to the republican ticket and
man whom the voters would con-
slider it a privilege to vote for.
]. H. Hoagland has been promi-
nently talked of as one who would
make a good race for the Office of
probate judge. Mr.. Hoagland is re-
ticent about the matter and seems
to have given the matter no consider
alton.
AS is to be expected all parties
are noting with pleasure the evident
following which Senator Elliott is
securing all over the state to back
his candidacy as congressman. The
senator is daily receiving unasked
promises of support from all parts
of Idaho and it is assured that he
will carry all northern counties by
large majority and get more than
his share of votes in the south.
Friends of County Commissioner
d. C. McColl have asked that he
enter the primary election as can
didate for sheriff. Marshal Harry
Sawyer has also been urged to be-
come a candidate. Neither Mr.. Nc
Coll nor Mr.. Sawyer have decided
definitely upon the matter.
Another prominent business mar
of this county who has been talked
of as suitable timber for the state
senatorship is George r. Gray. The
matter will probably be preached tc
Mr.. Gray upon his return from &
two months visit to the coast.
VIM. Rath, of Porthill, is one Of
the deserving citizens of that dis
trict who has been mentioned as 6
person well fitted to fill the Office Of
county commissioner. w. T. James
president of the Northern Idaho Seek
Growers Association and promi
nent member of the farmer'sunion
has been talked of as a candidat,
for the office of assessor and Mis-.
Mary Dawson has been mentioned
many times as candidate for tn,
Office of county superintendent o.
schools.
Another possible candidate for tn
