Chairman Morrison Talks
About the Situation.
IS VERY MUCH ENCOURAGED
The Party Constantly Receiving Recruits
Vigorous Campaign TO Be
Wsged.

Chairman Morrison of the Republic
can state committee, was seen at head
quarters yesterday, and spoke iu the
most enthusiastic way of Republican
prospects for success in November, and
incidentally INDUCED in little politi-
cal philosophy.
"The Republican forces" said he.
"are rapidly reuniting, and the aces
sions from among the Populists and
Democrats are encouraging. People
like courage and admire principle, The
Republicans stand for both. They are
generous, and believe that the pTincj-
ples of their party are broad and strong
enough to accommodate and sustain men
of brain power and who think for them
selves. Hence they extend encourage
ment to men like the Hon. N. M. Ruick,
and the Hon. Ii. V. a. Ferguson, who
see and understand the political pOten-
cY of republican principles, to assist in
promulgating such principles. We be-
lieve that the fruitage of republicanism
is ample to satiate the political appe-
titles Of all, because the fruitage is not
the emolument of Office, as with the
! fusionists, but is prosperity and prog
with the Republicans, Office is sub
interested in giving TO this state good
government and favorable reputation
than they are as to how the offices shall
be distributed among Office seekers.
| They believe in building up and not
tearing down. They always have room
for men, and are not organizing in fac
tions but in a party that will have, and
has effective force, which will be able
| to do something for Idaho. If Jones is
ambitious, he must take his chances
with Brown who is also ambitious. We
have use for them both, and do not in
tend that either shall annihilate the
other, or put the party in his insice
| pocket. 1t is republican principle
that part is not stronger or greater
than the whole.
1.-THE work of the committee has been
conducted along generous lines, We
believe in according equal privileges to
all who are Republicans, and have the
kindliest feeling for those who wish to
fraternize. The greatest privilege and
the greatest honor is to work for Repub-
lican success. The road to these bene-
fits is open and, | shall nse my best eff
forts to keep the highway in good re-
pair, and assure you the boys will
work out their road taxes.
''As to the campaign: We are pre-
pared to, and intend to make an ag-
gressiVe ono. We are proud of our
ticket, the personnel of which we be-
lieve to be the best ever placed before
the voters of Idaho. 1t is strong in
, ability, clean in character and patriotic
in principle. With Hepburn in con-
gress, and our nominees for state of
fees In control of state affairs, Idaho
J will enter upon an era If prosperity in
entire harmony with that which has
come to the nation under Republican
rule. Our magnificent resources will
be developed, and capital and immi,
grafton, twin necessities to develop
ment, will come to us.
