an appeal from the judgment of tn,
highest court In this safe, from tn,
judgment Of those men in who's
hands you placed the scales Of jus
tice. They appealed to the United
States Supreme court against tn,
Judgment of that court, knowing
their appeal would ..elay their trial
knowing that under the law the tria
could not proceed until the appea
had been disposed of. And they tool
that appeal so near the end Of tn,
term Of the United States suprem,
court that they felt confident tina
no decision could be rendered unit
October. That court meets on thu
lfi,st Monday of October.
I am not going to try murder

paign, but here in this communit,
where have heard 1t more thar
once and where / have seen it ir
print more than once that these mer
were being deprived of some right
which you and I have under the
law I feel impelled to lay the case
Isduarely before you. Do you dCub,
the efficiency of yourselves to dea
with these questions? Do you doubt
composed of you and your fellow
Ecitizens? Every one of you as a citi.
zen of the United States is liable to
perform jury duty: you might be one
Of these jurors. Would you want your
ftl How citizens to appear against you
and say that you would not gice them
a fair trial? Is any man entitled to
more than fair trial? Do you want
them to have favors extended to
them?
| Now take the case as I have just
| presented 1t and keep it in your
minds. and when you hear the charge
against the republican party and its
nominee for governor that men are
being deprived of justice at his hands
repel 1t from your minds because
there Is no word of truth in such a
charge. tApplause.)

! How well the business affairs of
the state of Idaho have been admin

greater part of the time, must take

about whose truth and authenticity
there Is no doubt. l read in those

read in those statements the .eccr.i

people,"
He Is before you to be voted for
another term. Can you find a 600 l
reason for rejecting a man who has
made such a record as Frank 4.
Gooding has made as governor If
this state? This Is no hour in waich
to be controlled by personal feeling
unsustained by Judgment. These are
public questions. The Office of the
governor Of the state OF Idaho, es-
2ecially to the people in the city
where the capitol is located. is a
very trying one. He is unde., your
eyes every day. Men. countless man
and women are asking him to do
things, do this and that, 0" 10 rn-
frain from doing this and that. The
trials to him are sharp ones. The
duty Is arbitrary and yet /. ppin one

You must make allowances for diff
ference of opinion, but you must
yield to the Judgment Of those you
have chosen to be judges.
The state officers that have been
chosen by the republican party as
the candidates in this contest are men
tried In public duty, found competent
rot according to the Judgment of ali
men but according to the Judgment of
the men who have been best situated
to judge of their fitness. Those were
the men that the party sent to Poca-

You are the people who sent them.
They were your agents. You sent

your duty as self governing citizens |
to see to 1t that the men you send to |
conventions are good men. / believe |

within the parties are not to be de-

they are contests for

Contests between the republican
party and the democratic party are
for annihilation. That is the
dinerence between a contest within
your party and contest between
your party and another party. l do
not mean humiliation of the individ-
uals; I mean humiliation of the false
they represent. That is the
difference. One Is contest between
men all standing for some great prin-
ciple; the other Is a contest between
men standing for different principles
Fellow citizens I could not have

OF your time. This lesson in politics
cannot possibly be presented or re-
cited within the ordinary limits of
reasonable speech. Others who
