On hearing that Gibbonsville had
placed IA more votes in the Amonso1;
column his competitor, Mr. Casterlin,
| conceded the nomination of Amonson
by substantial majority. The vote
| VI AAe4N ailH pldCco III Ille dilSl-
maroi are also conceded to Amonson,
so that his total majority may reach
I 80 in all the county. Mr.. Amonson
had no organization whatever in his
interest, and his support is REGARDED
as voluntary tribute that sutficien-
ly attests his popularity. His nomi-
nation came about at the demand OF
the farming community rather than
from politicians. He was never in any
sense Of the word a seeker after the
office, even declining to file for the
nomlnatlon after being urged to do So
II Is gratifying to know that now
with this endorsement from so many
of his fellow citizens as expressed al
the primary he will consent to enter
the race for the sweepstakes in No
Remoer. His entry as the nominee OF
the democracy will infuse new life
and hope into the party and make il
stand for something for the genera
public rather than for any special OF
personal interest. His competitor
Nho was also selected at the primary
eiectlon, is l.. Z. Glennon, a Salmon
attorney at law. For the past two
ears Mr.. Glennon has assisted his
aw partner, County Attorney Bur
elgh, in all his cases in the crimina
ourt, and also holds the office of city
attomey of Salmon.
"hlle there was no organization t.
promote the nomination of Amonsor
can be said that his friends will suf
er no such default in the genera
lectlon. They are predicting an ov
rWhelming vote for him in Novem
yer. The democratic candidate is
ucceSSful merchant in Salmon. He il
'eil informed not only on matters O
uslneSs but also on political econom,
'nd current history. He is the eldes
On OF the late Peter Amonson,
Eemhi pioneer. His mother is still
wing. Mr.. Amonson made his sue
TsSiul start in life as cattle owner
e lives in Salmon, having a famil,
TWO splendid children, a girl an
noy' Those who know Amonsol
en are firmly attached to him a
IN hooks of steel, for he is ever,
Ih OF MS siX-feet-two a man in tn
iline AMI vigor of mind and body.
