The Legislative Ticket
Idaho county was fortunate
two years ago in its selection of
legislators. Senator Seth Jones
and Representative Lloyd Fem
went to Boise and represented
their constituency in every way.
The great need of Idaho county
has been roads. No one can say
that the state has failed to give
us back for road construction
much more than we have paid in
taxes. This might naturally be
expected because of the need for
completing a state system of
highways and the fact that so
much of the North and South
highway passed thru Idaho
county. However, in addition
to the money set aside for the
North and South highway, Jones
and Fem were able by their eff
fective work to get a special ap-
preparation for a road which is
not a part of the state system of
highways, The Grave Creek
road.
This year we are entitled to
one more representative and the
Republicans have selected Edgar
G. Fry of Ferdinand to go to
Boise and work with our other
two experienced legislators. Mr..
Fry is farmer who knows what
is to the interest of Idaho coun-
ty. He is safe man to send to
Boise.
This group of three men is
selected from three parts of the
county. Each is able to look
after the interests of the whole
county. By all means let us
send back to the legislature
those who have experience and
acquaintance there and add to
the group a good substantial
citizen like Edgar Fry
Judge Byron.
Two years ago the county
elected one of its most respected
pioneers, John Byron, to the
important office of Probate
Judge. During his many years
of residence in the county he has
served the county in various
capacities, always with satisfac-
ton to the public. His two
years in the office of Probate
Judge have been no exception to
the record of faithful and eff
ficient service which he had al
ready established for himself.
Those who have had business in
the Probate Court have found
him constantly on duty. With
him the office is not side issue.
He gives his whole time to the
office and has kept the work
done right up to the minute. He
has given such general satisfac-
ton that the only reason for OPP
position to him is the desire of a
democrat to hold the office.
John Byron has lived thru
the trying times in Idaho county.
He knows by experience the
conditions which the county's
unfortunate have had to meet.
In his office he deals with the
widows and orphans and delin-
quents and no one has questioned
the fact that fairness and SYM
pathy have been the motives
which have prompted him in
dealing with such cases. Where
there have been delinquent boys
or girls he has worked success
fully in very case to make them
more responsible and self-reliant.
He has made them his friends
because they have known that he
is their champion. He deserves
the votes of Idaho county.
Moore and the Primary.
Idaho county has unquestion-
ably demonstrated that it favors
a direct primary law in prefer
ence to the convention system.
Our delegates to the state con-
vention at Wallace voted for a
primary plank in the platform
but were outvoted. Now the |
issue has been raised again and |
Idaho county representatives in
the legislature can reasonably be |
