As the time for filing nomination
papers for candidates In the direct
primaries approaches the close, quite
sprinkling OF those who feel that
they could devote the coming two years
to the service Of the dear people have
come out of their shells and made
announcements Of their intentions TO
enter the race
With Republican Forces.
The first man In the county to
announce to the people the fact that
the political bee was buzzing around
In his neck of the woods was Ed Vim
cent, of Slate creek, who, at the So
licitation Of both Democrats and Re
publicans, was prevailed upon to seek
the nomination for county commission
er for that district Mr.. Vincent is
a member Of one of the oldest pioneer
families Of the county and enjoys a
wide and favorable acquaintance In
every section. With the advent Of
the north and south highway the citi-
zens of that section desired a man in
the Office of commissioner who would
work in harmony with the federal and
state officials and thereby secure the
best possible for the district through
which the road Is to pass, and who
would devote the necessary time to
the other arteries of that section.
For the Office of county sheriff the
Republicans are indeed fortunate In
being able to induce a man like w. ID.
Reed to consent to tie himself up for
two years and devote his time to the
maintenance OF law and order within
our boundaries. Mr.. Reed is also a
nfnnanr tu ho
here over thirty years ago, and has
only been absent from the county of
his choice while in the service of his
country in the Philippines and while
attending the University of Idaho He
owns farm in the Joseph country on
which he resided for fifteen years, and
in order to educate his children to bet
ter advantage he leased the farm last
fall and is now residing at Whitebird.
At the present time il appears Mr..
Reed will have the field alone. The
taxpayers of the county could ask for
no better material for their sheriff
than Mr.. Reed.
Since the resignation of County
Auditor fimers and his retirement
from the political arena, IL is gener-
ally believed that Henry Telcher will
be nomineee Of the Republican party.
Mr.. Telcher has practically devoted
his life to the class of work that is
encountered I'm the auditors office and
has been chief deputy under Mr.. Eli
merS for the past three and q half
years. During the eighteen months
just elapsed, since the uniform sys-
tenn of bookkeeping established thru
out the state, Mr.. Telcher has opened
up new set of books for the county.
The system symplifies the work to a
great extent and Mr.. Telcher has so
famiiarized himself with the manner
of handling the county's affairs that
he Is able to tell the exact condition
of the public finances at the close of
each day. He would be an admirable
man for the place and his wide ac-
quaintanceship over the county augurs
well for him. He has made no an
nouncement up to this time.
County Assessor Hazelbaker will be
candidate To succeed himself for
that important office. He has made
good and it Is the opinion Of those on
the inside that he will have no op-
position. He has grown to manhood
in this community and is well known
and admired for the effort he has
made To succeed. May his cup of
prosperity be full.
The salary Of the county attorney
Is not very enticing and 1t Is not felt
! there will be anr great rusE for the
plum However, Il. Auger has cast
his hat in the ring and anticipates no
contest for the nomination He is
a young man well versed in the law
and has had ample experience In the
profession to qualify him to represent
this or any other county. He is
good mixer and is much bette: known
than when he appeared before the
people in the last campaign. His op-
ponent will know that Mr.. Anges was
in the race when the votes are count
ed In the November election.
In another column of this issue an
pears the announcement of the candi-
dacy OF John g. Gregg for the nomina-
tion for the Office of probate Judge.
MIR. Gregg has practiced law, taught
school and at the present time is farm
ing. His only son is with the boys
In France. If elected he states he
will donate 500 per year to the Red
Cross.
County Commissioners John ID.
Long and Dale Clark have signified
their intention of being candidates to
