now that Fred Cruikshank is out Of
the automobile business II is likely
that he could be induced to try for
another term in the lower house.
The most important county ONCE
to All this year is that OF auditor
and recorder. For this once the re-
publicans have probable aspirants in
the persons OF Martin Winters and
Harry Hull.
1t is generally believed that the
democrats had Stanley Rich. the
present county treasurer, slated to
make the race for auditor. but we
understand that Standley thinks the
treasurer's ONCE at $500 q year
looks better to him than the audi
tors ofice at $4,000 and that he will
get in the race for a third term for
treasurer. II Standley cannot be
prevailed upon to run for auditor. It
will leave the democrats somewhat
up In the air for candidate for that
once.
For assessor no one else Is talked
of among the republicans but Jim
Dunn, who is now serving his third
term in that office. Jim says he feels
little backward about seeking a
fourth term, but then four terms in
that ofice is the same as two terms
as auditor, and then Jim is making
an Al oficial and IL he decides to

Seymour Spencer, for superintend-

OF the present board of commits

Evans will seek a reelection. What

nominations will expire three weeks
from tomorrow, so far as we have
been able to learn there lie not a sin
gle avowed candidate for any ONCE
In the county, and there is but very
little talk about probable candidates.
This Ii largely due to the fact that
the war is the all absorbing topic
of conversation on the streets and
elsewhere.
But regardless of the war, the peo-
pie Of Idaho will be called upon this
year to elect two United States SEN
ators, two congressman, and all state
and county officers. II will be- neces-
sary. therefore, for the people to give
some time to politics or at least, to
the men whom they wish TO serve
them in the public Offices for the
ensuing two years from next Janu-
ary. While the winning of the war
ID most important thing. It Ia also
important that competent men should
bs elected to the several offices next
November. Not only should they
be competent. but they should be
patriotic Americans. Should any
Stacker attempt to seek a nomination
for ONCE he should be buried be-
meath an avalanche OF votes at the
primary election.
In several Idaho counties the lion
and the lamb have decided to lie
down Stogether this year. In other
words, the republicans and demo-
Gratis have decided to divide the Of
fices and place only one ticket in the
field. We have heard this plan talked
of some in Montpelier, but whether
or not any effort will be taken by the
party leaders in the county to bring
about such a result, we are unable
to say. II any attempt Is to be made
to put up mixed ticket, a conference
OF the party leaders with the repubIi-
can and democratic central commit
tees, should be held within the next
ten days. II conference should re-
suit in q failure to agree upon de-
cision of the spoils. It would then be
necessary for the parties to scare
Mp" candidates for the various Offices.
Assuming that the campaign will
be conducted on party lines. the
question ID. who are going to be the
candidates?
Among the republicans the only
name We have heard mentioned for
stat senator is that OF J. r. Shepherd,
who has ably represented the county
twice In the upper branch of the leg
islature. In suggesting his name
for that Office again the Examiner
believes that it voices the sentiments
of practically every republican in
the county.
Bear LAX ecounty will have only
one member in the lower house OF
the legislature next winter, but who
will be q candidate for that once,
we can't even make a guess at this
time.
Having served two terms in the
house, we surmiae that the demo

POPE HELPS RUSSIANS
HOLY FATHER ASSISTS THOSE
OUTSIDE TIE CHURCH. g."

Nearly year ago many were of
the opinion that no new field of labor
in the interests of charity remained
for Benedict XIV to explore. But they
were mistaken. The keen eyes of the
Vicar of Christ discovered many such
since. The latest of these are the
numbers of poor Russians in Rome
and in Italy, who, cut off from their
revenues that hitherto reached them
from Russia, must now depend upon
generous people, that is, until better
days dawn for them. ..<
To aid Russians in Rome Pope Ben
edict recently subscribed $4,000 lire,
and now His Holiness has fixed for
the Russians in Italy the sum of $4,000
lire ($3,000) weekly. Most of the Rus
slams in Italy belong to the Orthodox
Church, perhaps not tenth Of their
number are Catholic. But this makes
no difference to- the all-embracing
charity of the Holy Father. Distinc-
tions of race, politics or religion have
been disregarded, by the Pope up to
this, and. we may safely assume, they
will continue SO. .
In this connection it is pleasant to
find L'Avanti, the Socialist organ in
Italy, giving prominence to the Pope's
work done through the Vatican Bu-
reau for prisoners of war.
