istration that has been splendid I'm
every particular. The governor is a
candidate for reelection, and every in
terest Of the state demands that he
be chosen to succeed himself In order
that he may continue the good work
he has begun so vigorously and so well.
We have an issue that Is both state
and national which calls upon the vot-
ers imperatively to stand by the Re-
publican ticket-that Is the issue Of
supporting the governor in the policy
he has pursued with reference to the
prosecution Of men accused of being
the authors of the horrid murder of
our former governor.
Miss White has not been here many
days. In her eastern home she may
not have grasped the fact that we have
such an issue, or, learning of 1t at all,
may not have caught glimpse Of Its
significance. 1t Is an issue of para
mount importance-one that Is to be
settled now. 1t comes up in such form
that the settlement will be recorded on
election day. and 1t must be settled
right through the reelection Of Gov
ernor Gooding.
That is an Issue that touches every
home, for the security of life and
property rests in some measure upon
the attitude the state shall take on this
subject. II men accused of murder can
be snatched from justice through agi-
tation among radicals and among the
ignorant then no home Is safe against
disaster. If the foundation principle
of the present attack upon Governor
Gooding In connection with this case
should become rooted nobody would
be safe. If men who chance to be
heads Of some organizations could not
be put on trial when accused of muir
der, then license would be granted for
n mi IN ,rrAA
be settled by bowie knife and bullet
| instead of by courts or other tribunals,
| and no man would be safe whenever
he gave offense to any such organiza-
| ton.
II in November. we cast the vote of
this state against the governor, 1t will
be construed as reputation of his
policy and will give encouragement to
that class OF men everywhere who
| thirst for blood and are ready to plot
against human life IL they feel they
can do SO without being called to
| account upon the gallows.
That Is one of the issues before the
| people of Idaho. and yet Miss White,
and others lacking in correct informa-
ton, would have US dodge 1t and join
In re-electing Senator Dubois on an
idea that is in no sense a political issue
| in the state.
Further, II should be stated that in
1900. Senator Dubois entered into a
| political alliance with the dynamiters.
He assisted in placing them In political
| power In some localities; and to that
extent he encouraged them to continue
the methods which had darkened the
skies of one section of the state with
the cloud of murder. The state OF
Idaho was in that year placed In the
| position Of condoning the offenses of
anarchists, and God alone knows how
| far-reaching the influence of that ac-
ton has been; but this year our people
are not going to make the mistake OF
again lending comfort and encourage
ment to them. They are going to ignore
this demand for abandonment Of every
principle in order that Senator Dubois
may be reelected; they are going to
stand by the party Of law and order;
they are going to elect Governor Good
Ing and the entire Republican state
| ticket, and send an overwhelming ma
jority Of Republicans to the legislature.
