JOHN L. WOODY
Candidate for Sheriff.

John L. Woody, candidate for sheriff,
needs no introduction to the people and
electors of Latch county. For four sue
c%essive termsfeight years-he has serv-
ed as county commissioner, and his
continued Fe-election shows the high
esteem, great confidence and marked ap-
proval accorded him and his work. Mr..
Woody is a heavy taxpayer, and as
such his work has aimed at economy,
but not to the obstruction of develop
ment, and the fact that Latah county is
the best governed county in the state is
in a large measure due to his untirlng
work, his acquaintance with Il needs
and our resources. If anything should
be said to lend credit to him and to the
office to which he aspires, let it be said
in the words of an earnest w &C. III. Y.
worker: "He is a warm friend OF
temperance activity, an enemy OF booze,
and pity the smuggler of alcoholic drinks
if John Woody is elected sheriff" If

ing saved the taxpayers $500 annually.
He will, if elected, continue to per
form the duties of the two offices.

CONTINUANCE OF ECONOMICAL
ADMINISTRATION is ASSURED
For Clerk, Auditor and Recorder

The party points with pride to the
enviable public record made by Homer
E. Estes, County Auditor; he entered
upon the duties of his office as County
Clerk, Auditor and Recorder, and he has
never lost sight of this determination,
as by close application. and determined
effort, he has materially reduced the
running expenses of the office, and has
been instrumental in helping to guide,
and direct, the finances of the county
in such a way as to receive commenda-
ton from all parts of the state. If as
a farmer or business man you would re-
tain one in your employ who has proved
competent, and trustworthy, then we
would ask you as a taxpayer to adopt the
same business policy for Latah county,
and help guide he rpublic affairs to the
same high standard that you would your
own business.

HOMER w. CANFIELD
Candidate for Representative

Homer w. Garfield candidate for
representative on the republican ticket
is one of the pioneers of Latah county
He was born in Berkshire county,
Massachusetts,, 1858. He came to Latah
county, Idaho, in 1883 and settled on a
homestead. He has passed through the
sturdy trials of pioneer days and seen
the magnificent strides of progress i'll
our county. Mr.. Garfield has never
held a political office, but his keen in
terest in questions of public matters,
and particularly those questions which
concern the betterment of farm condi-
tons, give the strongest weight to his
candidacy for the legislature. He az
peared before the legislative session in
1915, advocating a memorial to the Con-
gress of the United States which was
passed and thereby was instrumental in
retaining on the tax rolls of Latah
county several thousand acres Of Pa
louise River lands. His election will
give to Latah county a staunch and faith
full advocate of her interests.

10 the Electors OF Iatah County
Under the peculiar circumstances of
the campaign now so nearly over it has
sonal campaign over the county and ii
is a matter of congratulation that all
parties have largely obeyed the implied
request of those in charge of the drive
for the Fourth Liberty Bonds, that no
campaign be made until Latah county
had one over the top and now the in
fluenza epidemic makes it rather in
advisable to circulate around to any
great extent through fear of increasing
hat dangerous malady and yet | feel
that the voters of the county are en-
titled to a statement from me before the
election is held.
| was born and raised on a farm in
Michigan, and attended the country
school until prepared for the high school,
attended the high school at Blissfield,
Michigan, and attended Adrian College
at Adrian. | came to Washington Ter
ritory in 1888 and settled in the Big Bend
near Badger mountain, the first work |
did after reaching the northwest was
in a sawmill on Badger mountain, | was
elected the first county clerk for Doug
las county after Washington became
a state and organized that office, after
wards served four years in the United
States land office at Waterville as
chief clerk, afterwards taught school
there for a number Of years and have
always taken a strong stand for pro-
gressive education and better schools,
have lived in Latah county more than
IS years, during which time l have
served as a member of the school board
of Juliaetta much of the time and have
served a number of terms as village
trustee.
My first vote was for prohibition and
although the measure failed to carry
at that time, yet I have always felt that
it was right and have always voted and
acted to assist the cause of prohibition
whenever the opportunity presented to
be of any real assistance to that cause.
| believe that the coming legislature
of Idaho will find its most important
duty in c~o-ordinating with the other
states not only to carry on the war but
to prepare for the peace which the war
must win.
feel that I have been honored great
w by this nomination at this time tor
in case of my election it means real
service along the lines mentioned.
/ want it understood that | am IN
tensely loyal to and will work for the
further upbuilding of the educational
institutions of Idaho and with special
zeal for the splendid University which
is more and more extending Its IN
Thence into the farming, stock-ra1sii1g,
