MAI. REED FOR CONGRESS
WILLING TO SUCCEED BURTON l.
FRENCH IN THE HOUSE.


IF my political friends in the state
of Idaho are iusistent on my taking the
nomination for congressman. to take
the seat now held by Burton L. French.
and that nomination may be bestowed
upon me without my wading through
the CORY pool of second Pocateilo con-
vention, will accept with pleasure.
said Major Fred R. Reed, when seen at
the Spokane hotel last night.
Political affairs are reaehing crisis,
serious crisis. in Idaho. The time has
been reached when men who arc eapa-
Bile of mastering the pondereus affairs
of state mus. take the reins in hand
and bring Idaho and her resources into
the limelight.
Pictures of the state of affairs have
been drawn by alleged friends of the
state. among whom Fred t. Dubois is
preeminent. 1t has been my policy to
boost Idaho for the good there is in
Idaho. and to picture the state as Il
force for good and place for the es-
tahlishment of homes rather than the
abode for bloodthirsty mine workers,
lsboring men and ignorant Mormons,
dubois has scattered broadcast
throughout the United States tales of
the sioings of the Mormons in the south
ern portions, of their control of the
Republican politics, of their threatening
attitude toward destroying the purity
and sancnty of our homes. He has tolt
masses of people that we are on ths
verge of moral destruction through tn,

that twenty-five houses could find ten
ants if they were to be built. Sales of
residences are quite frequent, and par
