SUTHERLAND HAS STRONG SUP
PORT FOR U. S. MARSHAL
OPPOSITION TO DAVIS.

OPPOSITION TO DAVIS.
Reports from south Idaho Indicate
that Angus Sutherland. of this city, is
developing much strength in the race
Tor United States marshal for the
district of Idaho. The friends of Mir.
Sutherland in this county feel that he
/ is entitled to this position not alone
ON account of his service TO the re-
publican party but on account of his
service to the state at a time when it
required physical courage and in
VOWED great personal sacrifice. The
question confronting Mr. Sutherland
in those troublous days was more
than the enforcement of law in this
county; it involved the supremacy of
state and national authority, and he
performed his duties faithfully, fear
lessly and loyalty, and the benefits of
his service have since been enjoyed
by the people of this county and the
entire state.

dorsements direct to the attorney

tests has begun to come in from the
state. some from eX-service men and
other protests against the granting

of reserve colonel. having been re-
turned to active duty in 1917 When
