2 SET FORTH QUALIFICATIONS DEMOCRATS MAKE AN AP- PEAL FOR YOUR SUP- PORT TUESDAY. (By Democratic County Central Committee) Out of the months intensive interchange of political views has arisen the cry “take your last tax receipt to the polis” 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 officeholders to do the work that governmental funce- tions require. We paid in one year under the present Davis administration out of Idaho county to the state more than we paid in three years under Alexander. This is bur- densome and not necessary. Every dollar taken out of this county unnecessarily reduces our capital and the available money that might be loaned our produc- ers at home. The people we trust will not continue this thing longer and will ponder over this matter Tuesday when they step into the booth to select the men that are to run civie affairs. FOR DISTRICT JUDGE. Atthe head of the county ticket the people have for Dist- rict Judge Wallace N. Scales. He has expidited ell business in court with dispatch and with economy to the people. A jur- ist 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 become partisan and enforce the princi- ples of the party upon whose ticket he was running if elected judge. W.N.Scales made no such declaration, feeling that this office should be removed from politics and that he would serve all people alike and admin- ister justice and laws in con- formity with sane and just con- ception of a judges duty. FOR STATE SENATOR. For State Senator, J. F. Jenny of Cottonwood is the party nom- inee. Elsewhere in the paper will be found an outiine of this mans fitness and his suggestions as to what he favors if elected. FOR REPRESENTATIVE 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 a warm frield in James L. Johnson candidate for the lower house. The Clearwater represented hy James Surridge and the western part of old Idaho county repre- sented by Johnson, assures the people a square deal. FOR SHERIFF. For sheriff, the ever faithful and vigilant detective and fear- less old scout “Bill” Eller is man. He is so strong for law enforce- ment especially the dry laws, thet he makes some of his Grangeville 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. For Assessor, the democrats have the ise that this office will be at a less cost to the tax pavers than now, in the promise of its eendidate William Ingram. Give him a trial and see if he will not save ‘you some expenses in this office. Like Alexander he is in for clipping wings where they are not needed. FOR PROBATE JUDGE. Wilbur L. Campbell, has here- tofore filled the post of Probate Judge and the people know his worth He handled juvenile (Continued on page 2) | nypreciative |% were present at the meeting. | TRIES FOR $500 PRIZE. augh, has prepared an unusually attractive display that will enter in competition with sporting goods concerns the country over for a $500 prize to be awarded by the Remington Arm’ com- pany.

Johnson, mounted deer and goat heads, and a few species of ducks. The display is surrounded with limbs of the fir tree.—Tri- bune. | Al is well known here, having) been engaged by the Hoene Hard ware in Cottonwood prior to ac- cepting a position in Lewiston. While in the employe of the local concern his window displays re- ceived much favorable comment and on several occasions his window decorations were photo- praphed and reprinted in several hardware journals. SOME SPUDs. | The Chronicle office now has on display ten potatoes grown by Frank Sonnen on his ranch near the foothills that for size have anything beat we have ever had! the opportunity to see. The potatoes are exceptionally large and smooth. They have been! attracting more than ordinary interest. | Frank Henley also left aj sample of potatos s grown on his ranch that are dandies, being of the Early Ohio variety. WINS IN SPOKANE. | Eerl William McDonald, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe McDonald, is| the happiest boy in Idaho county | today as the result of having! been awarded first and second| prize on his junior yearling! Shorthorns st the Spokane live} stock show this week. The com- netition at Spopane was very! keen for young McDonald but! his calves came out with flying| colors. | TEACHER MARRIES | Just as we go to press we are} informed of the recent mairi-| ege of Miss Meta Schroeder daughter of one of our most prominent families, Mr. and Mrs. August Schroeder, to Roy Wis dom of Riggins, Idaho. Miss Schroeder has been teaching school at Riggins. Her mar- riage comes a great surprise to her many friends here.

Mock- | HRONICLE ~ $2.00 PER YEAR ‘REPUBLICANS WANT VOTES | LIKE THEIR OPPONENTS BE- | LIEVE THEY HAVE BEST | MEN FOR OFFICE (By Republican County Central Committee.) The Republican party has been known thruout its history as the party of substantial and stable progress. It has always been devoid of the sensational and the sober second thought of the peo- ple 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 tiie 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 fcund 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 experi- 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 in Boise working for good roads and for the direct primary. That is an excellent criticism. It 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 Fenn and Edgar Fry. Fenn 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 against 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. It 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 satis- fied 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 Idahe |county. He has made an ef- | ficient deputy sheriff. He knows | how the expenses of the office | (Continued on page 5) no ee ay t
