UNIVERSITY CANDIDATES


will have an opportunity this election
to vote for a number of persons who
have been intimately connected with
the University of Idaho, and who are
that institution. incidentally two of
these live in Moscow, one being a
candidate for a high state office and
the other candidate for state sena-
tor for this county.
Judge j. H. Forney was the first
president of the University of Idaho
and through all the years the big
school struggled for existence was
one of it's best supporters and most
constant hackers. He is the demo-
cratic nominee for supreme judge to
succeed Chief Justice Morgan, whose
home is also in Moscow but who will
not be candidate for reelection.
Judge Forney has the promise of sup
port from friends, alumni and former
students and faculty members Of the
university in all parts of the state.
Next in interest to the first president
of the university is its first graduate
from the agricultural college. This is
G. p. Mix, one of Moscow's and lldaho's
best known citizens, who is the demo-

Mix has always been firm friend and
supporter Of the University of Idaho
and Of everything that tends to make
the school and the state and the coun
ty and his home town better He is
manager of the biggest manufacturing
concern in northern Idaho, and ex-
-fensive and successful farmer, bring
ing into practice the training he re-
ceived in the University of Idaho's
agricultural college. He expects the
support of the University of Idaho
alumni and friends.
Then there is good old Bob" Jones,
one of the most successful, persistent
and tireless workers for the university |
in this state. He is secretary of state, |
and has done well in that office as in |
Bob" is opposed by another graduate
of the same class and the same year,
in the person OF George H. Curtis, a |
man of many splendid qualifications |
and it may puzzle some of the uni
versitys friends to decide between
these two candidates opposing each
other.
Judge Adrian Nelson, probate judge
of Latah county, is one of the very
first graduates of the University OF
Idaho and has son in the school
from which he graduated quarter of
a century ago. He is candidate for

received a big vote from university
people every time he has been candi-
date for office.
