Republicans must not be over
confident of the result of this elec
tion. Over confidence is a bad
thing in any kind of business, ami
every man should make it his bus
iness to see that republicans are
fully interested in this campaign,
and that every vote is polled.
Don't rest on your oars until after
the Gth of next month.

Prof. L. S. Trapp as princqial, and

Fred Baker, the republican nom
inee for assessor, came up Friday
night and left to-day with H. G.
Wilcox and E. M. Greene to can
vass the Snake river valley.
Fred .s one of the most popular
and capable men ever put up for
that office, and he is going to poll
I a big vote in this valley, and he
| deserves to. He is a property
I holder here as well as elsewhere in
the county, and is interested in
building up its finances.
Remember if you bet on the re
sults of the election you are dis
qualified from voting. We have
been informed that the democrats
intend to work that scheme for all
it is worth. The plan is to have
one democrat in each precinct
wager with as many republicans
as possible. By this means only
one democrat will be debarred
from voting, while a dozen repub
lican votes may be lost. Don’t
wager anything on the election
ntil after you have voted.
