Governor Steunenberg is gaining
strength every day in southeastern
Idaho and 1t is now certain that his
majority will be even larger than ii
was two years ago. His administration
of the Office of governor has been SO
competent, careful and conservative,
that upon its record alone he is entitled
to the earnest support of all the citi-
zens Of the state. That his admins
tration has been successful; that it has
been economical and at the same time
progressive, has been due entirely

his constant watchfulness OF public
interests and 20 his determination
that every department of the state
