REVIEW OF REPUBLICAN
COUNTY CANDIDATES
All Are Capable Men and Are Deserving Of the
United Support Of the Party Republicans
Should GO and Vote Next Tuesday.

The republicans OF Bear Lake coun-
ty present to the voters this year a
ticket composed OF men who are well
worthy the support of every repubIi-
can in the county.
On the legislative ticket are two
men who have served the people well
and faithfully-Alfred A. Hart for
state senator and Fred c. Evans for
representative.
Mr.. Hart has never had any legisla-
tive experience, but he has held the
Office Of county superintendent of
schools for six years. His experience
in school work will give him q good
insight into the needs of legislation
along educational lines, and IL elected
to the senate he can be relied upon to
stand for the enactment OF conserva-
tive laws only. Mr.. Hart is a man of
few words but he is a student and
thinker, and no measure would ever
receive his support that smacked of
socialism. Such men as Mr.. Hart
are needed in the legislature to act as
balance wheels against the radical ell
ement which is always represented to
a more or less extent In the legisla-
ture.
Fred G. Evans represented the peo-
pie of Bear Lake in the Twelfth legis-
lature and he was looked upon az
one Of the solid men of the house
during that session. He is now serv-
ing the people as commissioner from
the Third district and his record in
this Office has fully demonstrated that
he is clean, honest and upright in
dealing with his fellow men. We be-
speak for Fred Evans the unanimous
support of the Bear Lake republicans
next Tuesday which means that he
will have a voice in framing the laws
to be enacted by the legislature next
winter.
For the important ONCE of clerk,
auditor and recorder the republicans
have a most capable man in the per
son of Francis M. Winters, who has
been q resident Of the county FOR
many years. He served one term az
assessor some years ago, and held the
office of postmaster in Montpelier for
eight years, in which he gave the pat
rons excellent service. The records
were at all times in good shape and
when he turned the office over to MT
Robson. the present incumbent, his
books balanced to cent. The office
which he is seeking Is one that re
Quires careful and efficient work and
MIR. Winters is capable OF giving the
county just that kind of service He
is genial and obliging and the patrons
of that office will find him alwayI
ready to respond to their requests.
It has been number of years since
a Montpelier man has held the ofIics
of sheriff and now that the repuhlt
cans have g capable and popular can
didate for that Office, in the person oi
John J.. Jones, we believe that thS
people will honor him with election
by a good majority. Mr.. Jones hal
been resident OF the county for ovel
80 years. For the past IL years ht
has been manager OF the Jones-Rob
ison clothing and gents furnishing
establishment In Montpelier. His gen
eral experience in public affairs maxi
him especially we'll qualified to dis
charge the duties of sheriff. II elect
ed he will enforce all laws withon
fear or favor.
That Jim Dunn, the present asses
sor, will be reelected by his usual BIZ
majority, no one questions. Jim ha
given the people most excellent ser
vice and IL the most popular offlcia
