MS younger days was . practicing At
torney. He served one. term - A.
SCISSOR Of Bingham County and IL ia
miliar with the county affairs, the
needs and requirements Of the citi-
zens and taxpayers and Is eminently
qualified, both from legal and tenn
peramental standpoint, to fill the Of
nee OF Probate Judge, for which his
many friends induced him to become
a candidate.
Our candidate for County Assessor
is not SO well known in the south
end of the county. He resides at
Shelley where he has been engaged
in farming, stockraising and potato
buying for many years. He knows
the farming business from A to z,
and very few men in the county can
surpass him in arriving at an accu-
rate judgment as to the values of
real estate, live stock, mercantile and
other business enterprises of our
county. He is we'll educated and
trained to fill the position Of Assessor.
His name is Alva G. Stuart.
One of the important positions of
the county Is that of County Super
intendent Of Public instruction. VIM.
Bartlett, Of Moreland, candidate for
this position, has devoted his entire
life to the education and upbuildiug
Of our children. He knows the needs
and requirements for properly equip
ping our public schools: is a student
of psychology; man devoted to
home and family and the building of
character in our young people,. Our
public schools will be under compe-
tent and efficient supervision II you
will elect Mr.. Bartlett to this posi-
ton.
DR.. J. o. Hampton, candidat for
Coroner, resides at BlackfoOt. He is
a practicing physician and of good
reputation throughout the county and
can render good service in this DO
sition.
For County Surveyor, James Young,
of Blackfoot needs no introduction to
the citizens Of this county You all
know him, and that he is the most
competent civil engineer in this part
of the country. He has served we'll
and faithfully in this position before
and will give the same efficient SER
vice If again elected.
One of the important positions to
be filled is that Of representatives In
the state legislature. We believe that
the three men selected as candidates
to fill these positions are among the
most substantial men we have in the
country, men whose activities have
brought them in contact with the con-
ditions that prevail in our country.
They know our needs during the de-
pressed conditions through which we
are passing and will combine with
other men Of the state to bring about
relief at the earliest possible moment
and to the fullest extent. John J..
Moore, Of Shelley, and Howard Hen
derson, of BlackfoOt, for State Rep
resentatives and John R. Foulks for
State Senator. Moore is a banker
and farmer, and has a personal ac-
Quaintance with practically all of the
older residents Of the county. Hem
dersOn has been actively engaged in
business in Blackfoot for the past If
teen years. and has come in contact
with practically all of the farmers
and business men Of the county. John
r. Foulks IL probably not so we'll
known In the north end Of the county,
as his activities have been mostly
In the south end. When the Ameri-
can Falls canal was constructed he
and successfully completed
the task Of putting four thousand
acres Of sage brush land into fruitful
field Of hay and grain In the vicinity
Of Aberdeen. For the work Of re-
this land he paid for wages
alone the sum Of $3.50, 100000. No |
other man In the west has ever &C.
task of this kind In 90 |
little time. At the present time he |
Is engaged In developing the Grimm |
Alfalfa seed industry and is being |
very successful therein.
Our representatives in the legisla-
ture will be governed in their actions
by the platforms adopted by their
parties. The republican platform en-
iorses the expensive cabinet form of
government. while the democratic
