have assured him that he is the mar
wanted for county assessor.
The nomination of Congressman
Addison T. Smith as one of the two
representatives in congress from
Idaho is generally conceded by those
who keep in touch with political af-
fairs. In fact he has no opposition,
and the contest will be between Mes
srs. French, Elliott. and McCracken
for the other membership. This is
tribute TO the efficiency of Congress
man Addison t. Smith.
For the nomination for county
commissioner from the Second dis
trict, our present commissioner Gus
