Out of the month IS intensive inter
change of political views has arisen
the cry, "take your last tax receipts
to the polls,' this coming Tuesday.
The figures for the coming year s taxes
will be appalling. Idaho is being over
governed. We must have good civil
government and the enforcement of
staple laws. We do not need however,
a small army of office-holders to do the
work that governmental functions re-
quire.
We paid in one year under the pres
emit Davis administration out of Idaho
county to the state more than we paid
in three years under Alexander. This
is burdensome and not necessary. Every
dollar taken out of this county unnec-
essarily reduces our capital and the
available money that might be loaned
our producers at home.
The people we trust will not con
tinue this thing longer and will pom
der over this matter Tuesday when they
step into the booth to select the men
that are to run civic affairs.
At the head of the county ticket the
people have for District Judge Wallace
N. Scales. He has expedited all
business in court with dispatch and
with economy to the people. A jurist
who has been careful in his work
and painstaking in his duties. For
example when his opponent filed for
this office he swore that he would be-
come partisan and enforce the princi-
pies of the party upon whose ticket
he was running if elected judge. w. N.
Scales made no such declaration, feel
ing that this office should be removed
from politics and that he would serve
all people alike and administer justice
and laws in conformity with sane and
just conception of judges duty.
For state senator, j. F. Jenny, of
Cottonwood, is the party nominee.
Elsewhere in the paper will be found
an outline of this mans fitness and
his suggestions as to what he favors if
elected.
Our old faithful friend, James
Surridge, will sweep old idaho county,
with an increased vote at this election.
He has been a constructive builder and
is still on the job.
The western part of Camas Prairie
will have warm friend in James l..
Johnston candidate for the lower house.
The Clearwater represented by James
Surridge and the western part of old
Idaho county represented by Johnson,
assures the people a square deal.
For sheriff, the ever faithful and vi
CLIENT detective and fearless old scout,
"Bill" Eller, is the man. He is so
strong for law enforcement, especially
the dry laws, that he makes some of
his Grangevillle wet friends sore at
his attitude toward the offenders in
this line. Bill is going to be as of old,
right on the heels of those who violate
the laws of Idaho.
For assessor, the Democrats have
the promise that this office will be
operated at a less cost to the taxpay-
ers than now, in the promise of its
candidate, William Ingram. Give him
trial and see if he will not save you
some expenses in this office. Like
Alexander, he is in for clipping wing:
where they are not needed.
Wilbur L. Campbell, has heretofore
filed the post of probate judge and The
peopie know his worth. He handled
Juvenile cases with merit, looked aftel
many delinquents, helped the unfortu
nate and with the county commission

needy, besides managed to give his at
tention to the important estates tina
are pending in this court. A graduate
OF Ann Arbor Law college, he know
something of wills and the administra
ton of this important branch of thu
law.
Mrs. Otie L. Cone has been a splen
did official and is so well known II
the county that she needs to be named
to be elected. The slogan has gon
out not to disturb this woman in he
official work, inasmuch as she ha
made good.
For prosecuting attorney, one o
the able lawyers of Idaho county seek
the suffrage of the people. Judg
Frank Z. Fogg is a careful man AM

strong to warrant trial.
The Democrats present three compe
tent men for county commissioners
N. B. Pettibone has served the people
well in this post in years gone by. HI
is a farmer living on Camas Prairie
and serving largely the people of tn
Winona, Sites and Kooskia and
ClearwatSr sections. August Schroeder
of Cottonwood, Ferdinand, Greencreel
and Keuterville sections is well quail
fed, and Clark LYDIA, also of the Sal
man river section. None of these mel
reside at Grangeville nor have o
own any interests in Grangeville.
For county superintendent of schools
the capable and efficient woman wht
has labored some years in teaching il
Idaho county asks the support of thu
people. This woman is Mrs. Eta AT
old. She is we'll known by the voters
and all who know her readily concedt
that she can creditably fill the position
which she seeks.
For coroner, one who is exper
fenced and holds a diploma for his
qualifications on the Democratic ticket
is r. S. Hancock. This gentleman is
also versed in the duties of his office
under the statute of the state.
We trust the voters will study this
ticket and vote for the best interests
