A Bannock County editorial lists six Democratic nominees who pay no local taxes and are not on the assessment rolls. It argues such officers cannot properly represent taxpayers and questions whether a nonpayer can fairly oversee county government. Names cited include John Ellis Herbert Langan M RookER Dan Buckley Dr Earl D Jones Robert M Terrell.
The piece attacks the Democratic slate as a grab driven, two faction ticket unworthy of trust. It praises the Republican nominees as true public servants and taxpayers, arguing their records favor strong county government and a solid majority.
The piece mocks John Ellis L. M. Hopson Bishop Milo Hendricks and Robert M. Terrell marching in a campaign. It questions Terrells ties to Mormon groups and notes Terrell and his brother founded the Citizens party of Pocatello and opposed Mormon influence. It warns against voting for Hendricks and other Democratic nominees.
The text argues against Bryan’s plan to guarantee bank deposits as unfair to other wealth forms and cites building associations protecting workers’ home ownership. It notes U S building associations held 728 million dollars in 1908, with membership up by 100 thousand in 1907 and assets up 55 million, urging equal government protection for all vested property rather than favoring banks.
A Democratic speaker questioned Judge Johnston’s presence on the Republican ticket. The Tribune lauds him as the best probate judge Bannock County has known, praising economy, integrity, and broad taxpayer satisfaction, and argues a replacement is unlikely while a better man has not appeared.
The ex deputy sheriff and former campaign agent, Burnett McGarvey, relays his private thoughts in Boise's Capital News columns.

In 1906 Pocatello favored Democrats by a comfortable margin and this year voters will give Mr Brady a sweeping majority. Citizens back him for personal knowledge and hometown pride, predicting about 80. Bryan denounces Roosevelt policies in the east and claims them in the west. His main goal is winning at any cost.
Some quarters view Dan Buckley's nomination for probate judge by the Democrats as a joke. The joke is said to be on Buckley himself.
The remark states that no Democratic argument can sway workers that low wages fail to ensure a low cost of living. It emphasizes a political belief about wage levels and household cost pressures.
A regional report warns the western United States faces a shortage of automobiles and a slump in Democratic vote counts. Officials cite supply constraints and shifting turnout dynamics impacting policy and elections in multiple states.
