The Boise Statesman, the leading Re
publican paper Of the state. pays high
compliment to the fusion state adminis-
tratiOn in the following editorial state
ment Of the advancement that has been
made during the past too years:
There is one very important point to
be kept in mind BY the people Of the
state-it 10 the necessity for maintaining
the standing acquired by Idaho during
the past two years.
at 10 q Tact that Idaho nov stands
higher among eastern people than any
other Of these mountain states. This 10
adirsct result OF the determined and
snecessful 6Ght made against lawlessnsss
In the CGur d'Alenes- That fight Vas
made simply a. matter Of duty to pro-
teet the rights d people living in that
seetioa, bot it has had the indirect effect
Of missing the state high in the sstima-
tiOn Of the people Of all other sections Of
the coaneFy.
The position held By Idaho at this
time is one 10 which our people may well
feel pIsud. The state 10 attracting more
atteatiOn than any other In this section
Of the vest and. II no setback oeenrs,
there will be heavy immigration and
Investments Of large amounts Of capital.

the came reason capital 10 seeking in
vesslnent in the state. Those Whose
business il 10 TO look mp immigrants find
they can always get hearing for Idaho,
whiIe In the case OF some other states,
they cannot arouse any interest what
ever. For this reason their energies are
being concentrated on settling Idaho.
Those Who visit the east hear good words
Tor Idaho ON every side, and persons en-
gAeed in the promotion OF enterprises
asd that the feeling prevailing IL Of the
greatest assistence to them.
III Idaho IL to maintain this anyiabls
reputation, we must elect q state eov-
sFnmsnt this fall that will decline posi-.
lively to eOmpromise with the elements
that eansed all the troubles in the CGur
dAlsnes; we must have . governor who
will enforce the les and protect the
people in their rights. This is not 9
political question: but one Of plain hush
ness and good faith. Men Of all parties
should be determined to hold for the
state the position IL has won, and the
governing motives among all should be
TO reinse 10 nominate candidate Who il
not safe on the great question. The one
resolution II the people should be to put
NO uRsafe man on guard bat to nominate
only such men ~ will hold the banner
aluft and keep Idaho in the position that

The logical conclusion to be drawn
from these utteranees is that the States

reasoning the fusion administration has
