THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET

LO0iO AOuutN WIS IOIIuu1lt IMO
years ago in its selection of legislators.
Senator Seth Jones and Representative
Lloyd Fem went to Boise and repre-
sented 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 natur-
ally be expected because of the need
for completing a state system of high
ways ana the fact that so much of the
North and South highway passes
through Idaho county. However, in
addition to the money set aside for
the North and South highway, Jones
and Fem were able by their effective
work to get special appropriation for
a road which is not part of the state
system of highways, the Grave Creek
road.
This year we are entitled to one
more representative and the Republi-
cans have selected Edgar G.. Fry, of
Ferdinand to go to Boise and work
with our other two experienced legis-
lators Mr.. Fry is a farmer who knows
what is to the interest of Idaho coun-
ty. He is a 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 sub |
stantial citizen like Edgar Fry.
JUDGE BYRON
Two vaorc oOo he
one of its most respected pioneers, !
John Byron, to the important office of
Probate Judge. During his many
years of residence in the county ne
has served the county in various ca
pacities, always with satisfaction to |
the public. His two years in the Of |
flee of probate judge have been no ex-
ception to the record of faithful and |
efficient service which he had already |
established for himself Those. who |
have had business in the Probate Court |
have found him constantly on duty. |
With him the office is not a side is
sue. He gives his whole time to the !
office and has kept the work done
right up to the minute. He has given |
such general satisfaction that the only
reason for opposition to him is the de-
sire of a democrat to hold the office.
John Byron has lived through the
trying times in idaho county. He
knows by experience the conditions
which have had to be met. In his of
flee he deals with the widows and or
phans and delinquents and no one
has questioned the fact that fairness
and sympathy have been the motives
which have prompted him in dealing
with such cases. Where there have
been delinquent boys and girls he has
worked successfully in every 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 unquestionably
demonstrated that it favors a direct
primary law in preference to the con-
vention system. Our delegates to the
state convention 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 expected, when they 90
to Boise, to express the wishes of their
constituents. That does not mean,
however that they will want to work
with Moses Alexander as governor.
Charley Moore is man of the peo-
pie. He has repeatedly said that he
favors submitting the question of the
primary to the people. Senator Borah
is going over the state speaking in
behalf of legislative candidates who
favor the primary. If they are elected
and the legislature passes a primary
law, Governor Moore will undoubted-
ly sign the law. He has said that he
will sign such law if it is passed by
a Republican Legislature. What more
is needed? Senator Borah said in
Grangeville last week that Charley
Moore's word is good. We cannot
afford to fail to elect him as governor
