DEMOCRATS FILE
TWO NEW CANDIDATES
MRS. MARY C. HAWLEY, FOR
TREASURER-AL j.
AVER, FOR SHERIFF

The new interest which the demo-
Gratis have been promising to inject
into the Latah county campaign was
injected this afternoon by the filing
of the candidacy of an overseas
war veteran for sheriff and the widow
of another Overseas man, who gave
his life on the Canigny battlefield, for
county treasurer.
Soldiers Widow Files
Mary C. Hawley, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. E. E. Henley, pioneers of
Latah county, and widow of Ira Ar
chic Hawley, who was killed at Con-
tigny on May 28, 1918, filed for coun-
ty treasurer after Charles E. Walks,
who had previously filed, had with
drawn his name Mr.. Walks had filed
to hold the place as he plans to leave
Latah county next fall and would not
accept the office if elected
Veteran For Sheriff
Albert J. Aver, % years old, who
has spent 10 years of his life as a
resident of Latah county and two
years in the great world war, was
wounded three times and cited for
bravery shown on three separate oc-
casions; who enlisted as a private on
October 3rd, 1917, at Moscow, and
was promoted to sergeant, served IN
France, Belgium and Germany, and
was in many of the hardest fought
battles of the great war, filed for
sheriff.
Mr.. Aver is the support OF his
mother, who lives in Moscow and has
a farm four miles from town He
spends part of his time on their farm
and part of the time in town. He is
man of fine physique and his war
record is such that it is believed he
will get the support of the American
Legion and the relatives and friends
of the men who served in the army
and navy. One of his staunch friends,
who urged him to file for this race
said: "Please state in your paper
that if elected he will make as good |
a sheriff as he did soldier and will |
enforce all of the laws against all
classes and not favor one class as
against the other"
Mrs. Hawley A Teacher
Mrs Hawley was educated IN the
Moscow schools, the University OF
Idaho and Lewiston Normal and has
taught six years, two of these beng
in Moscow. She is now employed IN
In the primary grade OF the MOSCOW
schools. When her husband went to
war she took up teaching. The story
of her husbands death is one OF the
saddest of all of those tragic events
from Latah county. Mr.. Hawley
failed to write to her. He had always
been very prompt but his letters
ceased and not a word could be had
as to his fate. Cablegrams, letters
and personal messages were sent to
officers and members of his company
He was reported missing in action,
out nothing further could be heard
from him. Senators Borah and Nu-
gent and Congressman French took
10 the search. Finally, mainly
through the efforts of Mr.. Aver, who
was in the same division with Mr.:
Hawley, it was learned that he had
,een killed by shell on May 28, 1918,
n the same battle in which Mr.. Aver
.eceived three wounds, and his burial
,lace was finally located. Mrs. Haw-
ey said today:
ebert (Mr. Ayer) helped more than
my other persons to get the facts
my husbands death. HAD
t not been for him we probably new
r would have known the facts"
With the filing of these two cand1-
Iates we may look for real life IN the
ampaign for both of them promise {
O begin at once an active canvass Tor
upport and they have friends VINO
ave volunteered to help them.
