LIEyE THEY HAVE BEST
MEN FOR OFFICE
(By Republican County Central
Committee.

COmmlttee.)
The Republican party has been
known thruout its history as the
party of substantial and stable
progress. 1t has always been
devoid of the sensational and the
sober second thought of the peo-
pie has ever been inclined to fav-
or it. This year is no exception.
The platform of the party in Ida
ho this year is devoid of the
clever votegetting and substan-
tial phrases which characterizes
both of the other platforms. We
do not talk of cutting expenses
to the bone" as does the Demo-
cratic platform, nor do we prate
about the injustices of almost
everyone under the sun, as does
the Progressive platform. On
the other hand the Republican
platform is a safe and sane in
strument, which declares for
economy, but not stinginess, for
progress, but not revolution.
Our candidates, both for state
and county offices, have been
tried and found efficient. They
make no rash promises but have
been found to be men of accom-
plishment in whatever they have
undertaken. At this time it is
well to recall to our minds the
facts about the candidates on the
county ticket. They are our
neighbors and we know them to
be men who will faithfully per-
form the duties of the offices to
which we are going to elect them
next Tuesday.
The Legislative Ticket.
We present for State Senator,
the present incumbent, Seth d.
Jones. He is a man of expert
ence in the legislature. He was
born on Camas Prairie, has
farmed and raised cattle in this
county, and knows the interests
of his constituents. Some have
raised the criticism against him
that he spends too much time i'm
Boise working for good roads
and for the direct primary. That
is an excellent criticism. II is
proof that he knows the desires
of Idaho County people and will
do his utmost to get what they
want and what they need.
For representatives we pre-
sent Lloyd Fem and Edgar Fry.
Fem has had one term in the
legislature and has acquitted
himself well. We are proud of the
record he made. He is young
and enthusiastic and "knows the
ropes" Let us send him back.
Edgar Fry, of Ferdinand, is a
farmer. Those who know him
best, both in Idaho county and
out, say that he is one of the
safest men we could send to
Boise. He knows what legisla-
tion the farmers need and will
work for it. His closest neigh
bors will vouch for him.
County Auditor.
The fact that the Democratic
party could find no man in the
county whom they thought to be
strong enough to run agains.
Henry Telcher is proof that the
Republican party had picked a
winner. He is truly representa-
tive of the spirit of the Republi-
can party. Those around the
court house say that he never
makes a mistake. 1t is no won-
der that he has no opposition.
Commissioners.
Dale Clark, Ed. S. Vincent,
and Floyd Church, will continue
, the policy of the present board.
. Two of them are holdovers in the
office. Everyone has been salts
fled with them. They have
built roads, they have bought
and paid for a court house with
out extra tax, they have saved
, money for the taxpayers. Why
, should we displace them?
Sheriff.
Chester Arnold has. a record
, of honesty, integrity. and fair
, dealing in all of his private re-
lations for many years in Idaho
county. He has made an ef-
ficient deputy sheriff. He knows
! how the expenses of the office
