Norell Issues Statement
J* _
With election day close at
hand, the local party leaders
Jiave redoubled their efforts and
have are bending their energies
toward making a strong finish
of the campaign. B. F. O'Neil,
chairman of the Republican
State Central committee, issued
a statement yesterday claiming
a majority of 15,150 for "Gov
ernor" Brady aud therest of the
state ticket. In this calculation
he figured a majority of 50
for Elmore, which has been
Democratic in preceding elec
tions. County Chairman No
rell, however, is claiming the
county for Taft and Brady by
300 majority and predicts the
election of the entire county
ticket by a safe majority. The
vote in this county will be 30
per cent heavier than that of
two years ago and has been
been carefully polled by the Re
publican managers. It is fully
expected that both Mountain
Home and Glenns Ferry will re
turn substantial majorities for
the Repubjican candidates. All
of the Republican candidates
hard at work in various
parts of the county and report
encouragingly to headquarters
at frequent intervals.
The registration in all of the
precincts is unusually good and
by Saturday night the registra
tion lists will undoubtedly show
a total of over 1600 voters.
About half this number are
voters in Mountain Home pre
Vinct, while Glenns Ferry will
answer for nearly 300 more.
In Atlanta the vote will exceed
120, but the Socialist vote there
4hay cut down the effective vot
ing strength to less than 75.
Pine will cast close to 80 ballots,
with less than one-fourth given
to the Socialist ticket. May
field, increased by the Sunny
side territory, will vote at least
100, while Big Camas will throw
fully 75 votes into the scale,
most of them being conceded
to the Republican nominees.
The vote in the remaining pre
cincts will be about the same as
two yeaas ago, except some of
them, notably Little Camas and
Cold Springs, will become Re

nominee for his successor, Col.
Thomas R. Hamer, will render
them no less efiicent service, if

in this state for sixteen years,
and is thoroughly acquainted
with local needs and conditions.
He has had wide experience in
public affuirs, and is in every

CHARLES A. HASTINGS.
Probably no other officer of
the present state administration
has received so much undeserv
ed criticism as Charles A. Hast
ings, who has been nominated
by the Republican party to suc
ceed himself as State Treasurer.
For the past six months the Ida
ho Daily Statesman, hacked by
three or four disgruntled hanks
in Boise, has fiercely attacked
his record of the past two years,
and sought to discredit him.
His enemies huve, however, fail
ed absolutely to show that the
state has lost a penny through
his administration of the office,
nor have they been able to show
any flaw in his reputation for
strict integrity. It is conceded,
