G. 0. P. HAS
STRONG TICKET
PARTY'S CANDIDATES FOR OF
FICE ARE ALL ABLE
MEN
WELL KNOWN AND EFFICIENT
Voters Will Make No Mistake in
Electing Them to Office.

W nave llcket WHICH VIII uhuouoe
edly receive the unhesitating sup
port of the voters at the general
election. In every instance the re-
publican candidates for county office
are men of standing whose long res
idence here gives every voter the
chance to know them from personal
contact and the opportunity to judge
of their fitness for office. All the
candidates on the republican ticket
are taxpayers; they are men vitality
interested in this county; they are
personally interested in the welfare
of the industries of the county; it is
to their advantage to have the farm
er and the business man succeed and
it is to their advantage that taxes
be kept down and that the county
get full value for the money it ex-
ponds.
The election of the men on the
republican ticket means efficiency in
office, courtesy to the people who
have to do business at the county
offices, fair dealing for every citi-
zen, the fullest value for every dol
lar of county money expended, bust
ness like conduct in county trans
action.
The two candidates for the state
legislature, w. S. Walker, senator
and A. j. Kent, representative, are
asking for reelection. The public
knows of their good record two
years ago and it is needless to tell
the voters that the experience they
gained in the legislative hall of
Idaho will stand them in good stead
if they are returned this year. Both
have definite platforms and both are
true friends of the farmer and legis
lation which will favor all farmers
but particularly the farmers of this
county whose needs are far differ
ent from the farmers of most other
counties of Idaho.
j. B. Brody has been a taxpayer
in this county for over 10 years. He
has never sought public office be-
fore but now asks the support of the
voters on the strength of his expert
ence in the work of the county clerks
and auditors office. He has execu-
tive ability and is a successful bust
ness man. His business experience
would be valuable. to the county as
would also his ability to organize
office and routine work. With Brody
as auditor the county would receive
a business like land economical adj
ministration.
w. H. Heathershaw is the repub-
lican nominee for sheriff. He has
had years of experience as a police
officer and has high recommends
tons from those under whom he has
served. He is efficient and deter
mined. He too is a taxpayer and
has lived here many years. He would
give a clean, economical administra-
a III L L.. off
the voters are assured there will be
less of the retail and wholesale vio-
lations of state laws.
w. T.. James asks reelection as
county treasurer There is hardly a
doubt but that he wilr have the
hearty support of all voters on No
vember 9Th. Any person who is ac-
quainted with the manner in which
Mr.. James has conducted his office,
his efficiency, his attention to his
duties and his economical practices,
cannot help but concede that he is
entitled to reelection. In fact the
voters cannot afford to be careless
in selecting the custodian of the
large sums of county money.
For county assessor, r. f. Luse
asks the support of the voters. Mr..
Luse is a farmer but he has had
wide experience in other lines of
business; he is we'll acquainted in all
parts of the county, and he is thor
oughly competent. He received his
nomination on the platform of "a
fair deal to every taxpayer whether
rich or poor" and this promise will
be faithfully fulfilled if he is elected.
o. c. Wilson is another republic
can candidate asking for reelection.
County Attorney Wilson's one fault
is that he has failed to keep the
public advised more fully of his eff
forts to keep down useless expense
to..the county. In instance after in
stance he has been able to settle
petty law matters without expense
to the county,, The record of cases
he has handled and the number he
has won for the county, is remark
able one.
f. R. Henderson, probate judge
has made a good officer and Bound
airy county cannot hope to better
itself in this office. Judge Hende~
son has a large knowledge of law
and is conscientious to a fault in the
performance of his duty The con-
duct of the probate judges office
during the term of Judge Henderson
has been above any reproach and he
is entitled to reelection.
C. ID. Simonds is the republican
candidate for coroner. Mr.. Simonds
has given this work his prompt and
faithful attention whenever required.
He is popular in. all parts of the
county and will undoubtedly win re-
election by handsome majorities.
The republican candidates for
county commissioners are James
Welch, G. S. Collins and Fred G.
Chambers-all farmers-all practical
and successful farmers, men off bust
ness and executive ability These
men have lived in this county for
many years. They know what the
county needs in the way of roads
and bridges; they know how road
