tration can be completed during the
week, the registrars are required
to be at the place of registration
In each precinct on each Saturday
from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m.
You will want to vote for Hard
ing and Coolidge and the Republi-
can ticket. A hundred per cent vote

and most Of the Idaho Democrats
will join in that endorsement, and
early voting is to be desired in that
1t will enable the election officials
to make an earlier count after the
ballot boxes close, and people can
get more returns the following day.
Absent Voter Protected
People who expect to be away
from home on election day can pro-
tect their vote by following this
procedures:
In order that qualified voter
of this state may vote while absent
from his precinct on election day
he must have been daily registered
in his precinct.
A voter absent from his precinct
may vote by mail whether in the
state of Idaho or outside of the
state. The county auditor will send
out official ballots, at any time
within fifteen days preceding the
election, to absent voters who ap-
ply for same.
Application must be made on a
blank in words and figures as fol-
lows: Application for ballot to be

nished by county auditors upon re
quest but If an absent voter has n,

plication, he may use the abov'

signed and sworn to by the electol
applying for the ballot before al
official authorized to administer
oaths.
The voter should arrange to give
his ballot as early as possible so 81
to return it to his county auditor
at least one day before the election
It should be, returned earlier II
possible SO as to avoid the chance
Of losing the ballot through delay
In the mails.
The voter marks his ballot and
returns it to the auditor by regis
tered letter in an envelope enclos-
ed for that purpose. On the back
Of the envelope he will find a
statement which he is to fill in and
sign.
In applying for ballot by mail
the voter should be careful to give
the county auditor his correct post
office address so that his ballot will
reach him promptly and safely.
In lieu of the above the following
method may be used where prac-
ticAble:
Any voter knowing that he is to
be absent on the day of election
may at any time not more than fif-
teen days before the election call
at the office of the county auditor
for his county and obtain ballot,
voting it at the said office, sealing
it and depositing it with that Of
ticer before leaving his home. This
plan obviates the necessity of u.s.
ing the mail in sending the official
ballot to the voter and having it
returned by him.
The law provides that ballots
voted by absent electors must be
delivered by the county auditor to
the election judges of the precinct
in which the voter is registered.
On the day of the election these
judges open the ballot and count
1t as a ballot voted at the said
precinct, upon ascertaining that the
voter is duly registered, just the
same as if the voter were there
In person.

Attention, Voters

The United States has now granted
equal suffrage and rights to it's wom-
en- citizens. Idaho long ago recog-
nized the justice Of such action and
amended its constitution giving
equal rights to its women citizens.
This is as it should be.
The Republican party has always
prided itself on being fair to the
fairer sex and recognizes the right
of women to hold, office in the State
of Idaho.
Our county ticket is made up in
great majority from men candidates
but two women have signified their
desire to exercise their just rights
and serve in public capacity: Grace
Falconer, the County Superintendent
and she has no opposition, and Mar
garet Ward the Repu blican candi-
date for County Treasurer. The
Democrats have no lady candidates
and it would seem only right that
the women should be given all con-
sideration and should be elected If
their fitness for the office is re-
quisite. "a *# a%l
Margaret Ward, candidate for
County Treasurer, has resided in
Bingham county ever since 1901. She
is a thoroughly COMPETENT bookkeeper
and accountant, having served the
Idaho Lumber Company for five
years in that capacity. She is es-
pecially equipped, by education and
experience, for the duties Of county
Treasurer, having under various adj
ministrations, for over three years
been deputy and recording clerk
in the office of the County Clerk,
where she is at present employed,
and having had in addition actual
experience in the offices Of the as
SCISSOR and probate Judge Of this
county. Her honesty and integrity,
and her varied experience in county
affairs recommend her as candi-
date well fitted for the position to
which she aspires, and there should
be no reason why she could not be
elected to the office by the largest
majority ever given candidate in
Bingham county.
We ask you the question. Do you
really believe in women's rights? Do
you believe what both parties say
with respect to the uplifting in
fuence of women suffrage and
women officers? II so do not fail to
cast your vote for Margaret Ward for
County Treasurer and thus prove
the, honesty Of your position by
your position by works as well as
words.
Finally to the ladies Of Bingham
county, you have the balance of
power in the ballot, and you should
be interested in voting for one of
your sex because in many instances
the men are too selfish to give you
what you are entitled to In the bal
lot. Remember the old adage I'm
union there IL strength"

SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE
STILL TAKING VACATION

Many school children in the county
are still out on. vacation from last
week, when the teachers were away
at institute, according to Probation
Officer Grace M. Stevens. At the Irv-
ing school in Blackfoot, fifty are still
absent. The fact that the storm of
last week did not permit boys and
girls to work in the beet fields as is
the custom, and that this work is be-
ing done this week, is thought to &C
count for the absentees. However,
pupils are not permitted to be absent
without permits, and these can only
be issued through the county super
intendent.

Construction Work
Necessitates Closing
Snake River Bridge

Paving work west of Blackfoot to
the Snake river bridge necessitates
the closing of the bridge for four
days commencing today, and traffic
to the west of the river is diverted
north via the Porterville bridge. The
road leading out of Blackfoot north
between the stockyards and the sugar
factory is also under construction
and detour is necessary via the
new cemetery road, crossing the
Short Line tracks at the stock yards,
east on the Rich lane to the new
cemetery road, crossing the tracks
again at the Barclay ranch, which
leads to the Porterville lane.
