BUSINESS men TO
State SENATE
NORTH IDAHO CANDIDATES SEEN
AS STRONGEST SINCE CONSTI-
TUTIONAL CONVENTION

According to an article in Friday S
Spokane Chronicle, by Storey Buck,
! former Idaho newspaper writer,
northern Idaho is determined to send
to the state senate next winter the
strongest delegation that this part of
the state has sent to Boise since the
constitutional convention. Mr. Buck
suggests that with many the desire
for strong representation in the SEN
ate overshadows the desire for party
supremacy AS a result in some
counties Oatah county being a case
in point parties have not nominated
candidates for the senate against
strong men on other tickets.
The article in the Chronicle fol-
lows:
Northern Idaho has felt at great
disadvantage because Of it's distance
from the state capital. Business
men or southern Idaho are more cas-
lily induced to go to the legislature
because they are near to Boise. North
ern Idaho men must abandon business
for more than so days and stay at
the capital, and the number able to
do this is limited.
This year, however, the north has
been able to nominate men who are
strong because of previous legisla-
tive experience or because OF recOg-
nized business ability.
NJ E. Lewis of Moscow, republican
nominee, a banker and large property
owner, has been in the legislature
several times and has been a candi-
date for governor The democrats
and progressives have made no nom
ination against him and there is no
opposition in his own party.
Senator Sherman Mix of Oroflno is
candidate for reelection on the re-
publican ticket He is considered a
strong man and incidentally is men
toned for the nomination for secre-
tary of state, although there is no
intimation that he would accept The
democrats have no candidate against
him but Claude Hoffman has been
nominated for the senate by the pro-
gressives.

publican nominee. He is opposed by
