AN OPEN LETTER.
To Jess Willard
and Fred Fulton:

To Jess Willard
and Fred Fulton:
You big stiffs, you've got this
country all wrong .
The fighting is in France!
Do you suppose the people in
this country, when their boys
are dying in Flanders and
France, are going to give up
from SIS to SIS a head to see two
brutcs like you fight each other.
The U. S. needs just such
fighters as you in the trenches
and needs them badly-but you
don't seem to care.
All you want is easy money.
We predict that the day will
never come when you will be
permitted TO fight anywhere.

Stufy McInnis is startling the
American league fans this year by
playing third base with a first base
mans mitten, recalling the old days
when mittens were a vogue in base
ball. Shifted from first base to the
fa- side of the diamond because the
Red Sox in1eld was pretty well
broken up, Stuffy found that he could
not handle the finger glove with the
anne ease and sureness that used 10
mark his work around the initial
corner when he wore a mitten, so he
decided to return to his old love.

A. P. Bailey For Sheriff.

A. P. Bailey, widely and Familiarity
known as Pearl Bailey, has previously
held the office of Sheriff of this coun-
ty, and his record for economy, ability
and efficiency in this office has never
been equaled by an sheriff in Kooten-
al county.
Mr.. Bailey has extensive private in
terests and business which he claimed
required all of his time, but leading
republicans desiring the best man pos
sible drafted Mr. Bailey for this Of
flee and it was only after delegation
of leading citizens from Spirit Lake
also insisting that he accept the nom
nation that he consented to do so.
A vote for Mr.. Bailey for this i'm
portant office is a vote for the impair
tial discharge of the executive duties
without fear or favor and guarantee
of an efficient, economic and honest
administration. 4.

Frank A. Morris, for County Com
missioner, Third District.

Mr.. Morris is a resident of Rath-
drum, where he has resided for the
past nine years, and his name appears
upon the republican ballot simply for
the reason that the Office Sought the
man."
Mr.. Morris is a business man of
ability and wide experience. He came
to this state from South Dakota
where he was engaged in farming and
various lines of business, and for ten
years he held position as U. S. sur
veyor general of that state under
President Mckinley and Roosevelt.
Mr.. Morris was drafted for this
position by his friends in Rathdrum
and vicinity who insisted upon him
accepting the nomination.
A vote for him is vote for guar
antee of an efficient business admin
istration of this county's business af-
fairs. Kootenai County will be for
tunate in getting a man of Mr.. Nor
ris' experience and ability to run it's
business, which is done by the Board
of County Commissioners.

State Senator, Ralph S. Nelson, Candi-
date For Reelection.


Mr.. Nelson is a graduate of the
Kansas University, besides practicing
law a number of years at Kansas
City, Kansas. He was for four years
city attorney of that city, during
which time he became fully CONVEX
SAINT of Thea business affairs of city
government.
In 1913 he was elected mayor of
Occur d'Alene, Idaho, and after serv-
ing a part of his term was required
on account of ill health to quit Office
work and take up farming at his
ranch at Ross, in Kootenai County,
Idaho, where he remained for three
years.
Mr.. Nelson has practiced law for a
number of years at Occur d'Alene. He
knows the needs of the workmen, the
farmers and the business man.
By reducing the salaries of the
county commissioners (from $500
each per year to $500 each per year,
and by Intending the tax foreclosure
law abohshing attorney fees and state
costs, more than $1,000 was saved for
the county in one year, besides attor-
neys costs for individuals foreclosing
such titles.
Senator Nelson has performed all
of his pledges. He is asking re-elec-
ton on the basis of services perform
ed. Kootenai County should learn
from the examples set by the counties
IN the southern part of the State and
re-elect their legislators.
If Mr.. Nelson is sent back to the
Senate he will be acquainted with the
men from the different parts of the
state and Kootenai County can be a
power and influence in the State SEN
ate. Mr.. Nelson has always taken a
decided stand on all issues and his
record shows that he has never lodged
an issue or promises made.

tatiYe.

Charles Johnson, for State Represen-
tatiVe.

every section in the State of Idaho,

Gators in the State. In addition to

shores of Lake Occur d'Alene.
Mr.. johnson was also at one time
a newspaper publisher in our State

of experience in various lines, includ-
ing farming, and is therefore excep-
tionally well qualified to represent you
for this important position In our law
making body.
Mr.. Johnson did not seek this office,
hut prominent republicans desiring
legislative ticket of able men, who,
if elected, would be competent TO
closely scrutinize all proposed new
legislation, prevailed upon him to ac-
cept the nomination.
All taxpayers know that the office
of representative impose financial
loss of time and money upon the man
elected. and it was only the inslstent
urging that it was his duty to do so
that he consented to accept the nom
nation. eox
a vote for Mr. Johnson is vote for
q man of wide experience and ability
and of such state wide acquaintance
that he will have more than the or
binary standing and influence IN our
c+a+e LEGISLATURE.

Mr.. Kger is a resident of Harri-
son where he has been practicing law
for a number of years.
Inc position of Representative is
an important one and in order for a
man to be able to give full service in

lence as a member of the legislature
from this County and because of this
service and experience will be able to
give to the people of Kootenai County
a more efficient administration of this
office. Also because of his former SER
vice he will be able to get committee
appointments and be thereby the bet
ter enabled to get results for the peo-
pie.

measures. He was one OF the prln-
ciple organizers of the Lake Side

entire highway system around Har-
rlson and up the Occur d'Alene River.
If elected he will be able to bring
to bear his practical experience as
we'll as his former experience in road
affairs.

Charles o. SOwder, for County
Auditor.
Mr.. Sowder is exceptionally we'll
qualified for the office of clerk of the
district court, ex-officio auditor and re-
corder. This Office is responsible for
the auditing of the financial affairs of
all departments of the county, and
should be filled by man possessing

ty for many years, and has held the
responsible position as cashier of Nat
ional and State banks for the past 16
years. He has made a speciality of ac-
counting work in all lines and in addit-
ion is an experienced court reporter.

E. n. Bell, for County Treasurer.

Z. N. Bell, for County treasurer.
Mr.. Bell first came to Occur d'Alene
in 1882, later moving from this state
to Montana where he resided num-
Der of years, and again removed to
Idaho, and has been citizen of Occur
d'Alene for the past seven years. Mr..
Bell has had wide and varied ex-
perience and bears the highest repu-
tation for honesty, integrity and abil'
ity.
Mr.. Bell is a property owner and
tax payer, and owing to the misfor-
tune of losing his left leg must con-
fine himself to such affairs of bust
ness as consist particularly to Office
work. This misfortune is no reason
why Mr.. Bell should be elected to this
office, but it is due to his misfortune
that the citizens of Kootenai County
have such an able and qualified cam
didate available for this Office.
Mr.. Bell, in asking your support for
the Office of County Treasurer prom
ises Kootenai County an efficient ad-
ministration of the Office and specif-
cally agrees to reduce the high ex-

quirements of the law in handling the
details of all. estates which of neces-
sity must pass through his office, and
which many times involves small for
tunes, and last but not least, being a
family man as well as learned in the
law, is better able to mete out JUS
tice in the matter of juvenile delin-
quencies than would be on official who
had never reared family Of his own.
He administered this Office so eff
GENTLY and satisfactorily that no
party had a candidate in opposition
to him at the primary election, and
only by a few struggling voters writ
ing in name was any placed on the
ticket in opposition to his candidacy.

M. G. Whitney, for Probate Judg,

M. ". whitney, Tor Probate Judge.
The Office of Probate Judge is an
other very important Office In every
county, for upon the correct and prop
er dispatch of this business depends
the validity of the title of all real es-
tate which such transactions affect.
Again it is very important trial
court and should be filled by one ac-
quainted with the law, and owing to
the fact that it has jurisdiction over
all children within the county, should
preferably be filled by a family man
of mature age.
M. G. Whitney, the republican can
didate and the present Probate Judge
of this county, has been resident
and tax payer of Idaho since 1907. He
was admitted to the bar of this state
in 1908 and was especially commended
