COUNTY CoMMITTEE)

The voters indeed are fortunate this
year in having a man nominated from
their home so prominently fitted for
district judge as Wallace N. Scales.
His professional standing and admit
ted ability as a lawyer were conceded
when he went on the bench. Since
being judge of the tenth district, he
has made a fine record and is now re-
cognized as an unusually strong jurist
His opinions have had a clear and
attractive style and good reasoning
His genial personality and sufficient
dignity and withal kindly feeling for
all the bar combine to make his a
popular and formidable candidate. We
bespeak large and handsome sajor-
itv for Judge Scales in this county, and
we trust in his entire district.
Jacob Jenny, the nominee for state
senator, is q resident of our prosperous
town of Cottonwood He is held in
high esteem by his neighbors and his
painstaking effort in all the places of
trust to which he has been advanced
bespeak his fitness for the office of
state senator He is familiar with road
building, being road builder himself,
and knows how to conserve the peo-
pies interest in these lines. He will
we know from his statements hereto
fore made to his many friends, serve
no interest, nor one section, but all the
county and all its needs if elected.
James Surridge is one of the virile,
faithful and energetic pioneers of Ida
no county. All who have had the
g. - IN ~
to trust him with the office he seeks
and how he win labor for good laws,
repeal bad ones, and stand for the
laborer, the miner, the farmer and
business men alike, so that equal and
exact justice be done to them one and
ALL His record needs little comment
at our hands. We hope he will be
permitted to serve the people of Idaho
county.
James Johnston, is successful farm
err of Ferdinand He is new in the
political arena, but not new in local
politics of his immediate neighborhood.
Being a great wheat raiser and stock
raiser, he can give valuable aid to
this line of legislation in the lower
house at Boise. He has been a success
himself. hence we feel he will succeed |
in the legislature. We need n strong
farmer in Boise from Idaho county.
N B. Pettibone has served this |
county with distinction. His voice and |
his vote at all times has been when
an official and servant of the people |
for their best interests. Judged as
such an official. his every act we know
in advance viii be in behalf of ecoaom-
ic government. He is abreast the times, |
vet conservative, cutting where need |
ell and promoting where growth is bet |
ter than standing still and becoming |
sterile. Idaho county has ever been
well handled where Nate Pettibone |
had hand in helping its people.
Clark LYDIA is the stalwart young
citizen of Salmon river, who was Just |
few votes behind last election, and
decided to try the battle again. His |
strength is now conceded by the party
naming him in the primary for county |
modest, that he will rarely talk poll |
tics or ask voter to help him, in
fact is a SHY, \single young man, who
owns large ranch, fine home and
pays considerable taxes. Let the |
prairie lock arms with Salmon river
and place the badge of approval upon !,
this man to help run the county.
August Schroeder served Idaho coun-
ty in Boise, and his work was such,
that the people have now drafted him
to help run the local government as
commissioner. His popular vote in the |
primary shows that the people need
him in office. He knows the tax |
question from hard experience, being
