II was in the position OF state land
selector and appraiser OF Idaho that
Senator Nash splang into prominence
IN Idaho. He held that important po-
stion for seven years under two Re
publican and two Democratic COVER
nors, and the records show that no
selected more lands for the state and
passed upon more securities for loans
than any man who has held the same
position.

tire attention To the refinaneing the

gether they own Il roo acre ranch,
which is one Of the finest IN southern

man and state committeeman and WAS
active i'll the last campaign in Frank
