GOOD TICKET
in THE FIELD
THE REPUBLICANS ARE BACKING
WELLKNOWN AND CAPABLE
MEN FOR COUNTY OFFICES
MANY ARE SEEKING REELECTION
Party Asks for Fair Consideration of
Candidates Merits.

November with a ticket that is
worthy of support.
The campaign of the republican
marty has been conducted without a
word of disparagement for opposing
tickets or candidates. The republi-
cans stand solely upon the merits of
their respective candidates-their fit
ness for office, their records as citi-
zens and as taxpayers.
Many of the candidates on the re-
publican ticket are now holding office
These have proved good officers and
have earned the confidence of the peo-
pie The new men on the ticket were
selected by the rank and file of the
party in primary election where the
claims of opposing candidates had
full consideration.
The republicans went into the cam
paign clean and above-board. They
ask and should obtain the suffrage
of the voters of Boundary county. The
men on the republican ticket have the
best interests of the county at heart
and will devote their full time to the
offices they seek.
Probate Judge E. R. Henderson and
County Attorney 0. G. Wilson are
seeking reelection. Mr.. Wilson has
no opposition. Mr.. Henderson is
known in every nook and corner of
the county and there are few that
know him who will not be proud to
give him their endorsement at the
polls.
E. Des Voignes was appointed
county treasurer few months ago
to fill the unexpired term of w. T
James. He has shown himself to be
capable and efficient officer. His
first act as a public official should
be enough to convince the voters that
he is the type of a public servant
wanted in Boundary county. He found
that while he was learning the routine
Of the office and Strengthening up his
outside business affairs he needed a
deputy and he employed Mrs. Callahan
but instead Of asking the county to
pay her salary he paid it out of his
own pocket until the time of tax col
lections when the office requires ad-
ditional help.
Ralph Fisher is the republican can
didate for sheriff. He has beer a
resident and taxpayer of this county
for many years. He has had expert
ence as a peace officer and knows the
duties of the office he seeks. He is a
man of principle and character and
those who know his best, both repub-
icans and democrats, will support
him because they realize that he will
give the county his best effort in pre-
venting violation of the laws.
The republican candidate for county
assessor is Frank Davis. He has lived
in this county for many years and
has farm on the Northside. His eX
perience of past years fits him for
the office he seeks and if he is elected
the voters and taxpayers may be sure
OF an economical administration of
the office and of fair dealing in the
way of property assessments. Frank
Davis has an unsullied reputation in
Boundary county. He is square" he
Is capable, he will have no favorites,
he will treat every man alike, rich or
poor, friend or foe. The voters of
Boundary county may well cast their
votes for Mr.. Davis.
c. d. Simonds is seeking reelection
to the office of coroner. He has full
filled all the duties of this office in
past years in an acceptable manner
and is too we'll known in this county
TO need endorsement in these columns.
The republican legislative ticket
consists of G. w. King, candidate for
state senator and o. H. Campbell,
candidate for state representative.
Both men will work for legislation
desired by the people of the county
and state. Mr.. Campbell is a farmer
and has given long study to legisla-
uon needed for the assistance Of the
hrmer and the laboring man.
The republican candidates for COM
missioners are W. e. Rath, of Port
hill, first district; ]. A. Welch, present
chairman of the board of commission
ers, second district; G. S. Collins,
present commissioner, third district,
mr.. Rath is a farmer and successful
business man. He understands the
needs of the county and has made
study of road-building in this district
He will give the county an efficient
and economical administration. Mr..
WEIGH and Mr.. Collins have served
one term and the experience they have
gained will assist them greatly in the
coming two years If they are elected.
