audience in the county. No man in the county can
show a cleaner personal, business or political rec
ord, and none will challenge him for a comparison
in these matters. He has been a great help and
m~ainstay in the development of this county, He has
invested his own money in land and Its Development
He has taken a chance with and tided over many a
farmer. He has had restless, uneasy days along
with the farmer and business men. When the farm
es are unable to meet their bills and notes business
men and bankers do not lie on beds of roses. There
is no dividing line of ease and prosperity in any
community. Labor, the producer, the merchant, the
banker, the manufacturer and the distributor pros
per together or suffer together. Ear off fields are
green" We all would like to be in some other line of
business. We can see our own hardshlps but not
those Of others. A greater per centage OF business
men fail than farmers. There is no room for class
legislation in a country of, by and for the people,
Our county candidates are worthy and OF a high
type of citizenship land are well qualified for the po-
sitions to which they aspire. They are common peo-
pie, farmers and business men, whose education,
training and business experience fit them for the
work they will have to do if elected. We commend
them to your careful consideration.

irrigation legislation, and has well in hand matters
that directly affect the interests of the people of this
county. When the nation became involved in war he
had well in hand the extension of the Fort Hall canal
to cover a large tract of land, approximately $4,000
acres, all within this county. He has been here and
gone over the ground, secured all the data, and has
had the matter up with the Indian and Reclamation
departments and secured their cooperation to a very
great degree. He is the'only member of our delega-
ton in congress who has irst-hand information COW
ering this project. With the ending of the war,
which seems near, the Fort Hall Canal extension
will be a live subject. 1t would seem to be a mistake
to not return him to congress.
All these men have supported the administration
in its war program and can be depended upon to
continue to do so. There is no party line in loyalty.
Our fellow citizen, ID. w. Davis, is our candidate
for governor. He is big enough for the job. Where
selfish interest or conflicting political ambition does
not obscure judgment, he is regarded as one of the
big men of the state. No man in the county who
condemns or censures him would care to run against
him for any office the people of the county can give.
No man who challenges his character or integrity
would care to meet him on such an issue before any

The people of Power County are to be congratu-
lated upon the clean men and women who have been
nominated for office. There is not one on either
ticket whom the average person would not be glad
to associate with, TO visit in their homes, meet every
where on a plain of equality, and to call friend.
There is no excuse or justification for insinuations
or reflections, and we have engaged in none, and will
engage in none.
Our state ticket is composed Of men of the highest
standing and character. Senator Borah is a nation
al character and recognized as one Of the big men of
the nation By all thinking men. Nothing more need
be said Of him.
Hon. Frank X. Gooding has performed services
for the people Of this state too great to be repaid by
any gift within the power Of the people to bestow.
He is fearless and outspoken, perhaps gruff at times,
but he is honest in his convictions. There is nothing
insincere nor deceitful about him, and he can sefely
be trusted under all conditions. He is one of the
biggest farmers and stockmen in the state, is en-
gagged in the mercantile business, has been a miner
and common laborer, and therefore has a broad UNI
derstanding that few men possess.
Hon. Addison I. Smith is a capable and depend
able public servant. He has specialized in land and

SHERIFF..

The office Of sheriff is the only one
in which It is impossible to exercise a
rigid control Of expenditures. SO long
as only routine duties are to be per-
formed the expenditures can be con-
trolled. But the sheriff is subject to
unexpected conditions that may arise.
II may be necessary to make long
trips with extradition papers for the
return of persons to the county who
are charged with crime. The sheriff
has no discretion when the papers are
given him, but must go, whether to
Texas. New York or just over the
line into Utah. His own expenses and
those OF the prisoner must be borne.
These expenditures may be nominal,
and they may run into thousands OF
dollars during a single term. The
only way a sheriff can lessen expenses
of this kind is by getting the men be-
fore they get too far away. Expert
ence and acquaintance with peace Of
ficers in adjoining counties and adj
Joining states Is necessary to do this.
These George II. Hanson has. 1t is
often economy to spend $50 in tele-
grams and telephone messages to in
tercept a person wanted, rather thar
10 cnhnco spending SEVERAL hunuicu
in going a long distance for him, and
paying a reward for his capture. The
latitude allowed sherifs opens the
door TO excessive expenditures in this
way. or to parsimonious extravaganza
In failing to expend whore 1t is wise
to do so. Experience is the only
guide to the proper curse to adopt
In each case that comes up.
George II. Hanson served as sherin
OF Cassia county about ten years ago.
He has had the benefit OF experience
to add to his native ability. He has
an acquaintance that will be very
helpful In the sherlff's office. He
knows the roads. trails. character OF
the country. and some of the people
with whom he may expect u%nfriendly
relations. all OF them OF material ad-
vantage in limiting the costs OF the
office.
MIR. Hanson is a farmer and stock
grower. a resident for many years OF
his part OF the state. and a represent

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The business management Of the
county devolves upon the board OF
county commissioners. They have a
wider latitude than any other officials.
and the economical management OF
the cOunty's affairs rests very largely
with them. They have a multitude OF
details to look after. and good bust
ness judgment is required in the per-
Torrance OF their duties.
r. +. Earring is a candidate for com
missioner from the first district. He
has been engaged in business for the
past ten years in American Falls.
Prior to coming here he was a wheat
grower in the state of Washington.
There are many citizens here who
knew him there. His character and
integrity are unquestioned and his
business judgment proven. He is

Of high character and standing in his
community, and enjoys a very large
measure of confidence. He has serv-
ed faithfully and with ability for the
past two years and has a personal
knowledge of the cOunty's affairs. He
is probably the only candidate for the
office Of commissioner on either ticket
who is competent to audit and check
up the books of any county officer.
This ability is very desirable in a
commissioner, as il gives him a closer
touch and more complete control of
affairs than he otherwise could have.

success of any candidate or set of candidates. The
