Special Correspondence.
MOSCOW, Ida, Oct. 222.--ln this city
Saturday night, Gov. Frank Il. Good
ing will address II widely advertised
1t.iitical meeting. This Is the only adj
tress Gov Gooding will make during
uhc campaign and a large audience
is expected to hear him take up the
greatest questions at issue in tile state
OF Idaho. From AL parts OF the state
peorls are coming to hear him. The
& MOSCOW correspondent of the Deseret
News requested Gov, Gooding to furnish
u synopsis of his address and the fol-
lowing summary will indicate the trend
OF Gov. Gooding's remarks.
This is the first opportunity have
had to discuss the isues OF this cam
paign. Important affairs of state have
kept me busy at Boise, but / have
felt from the first that If was able
70 make any addresses, Moscow should
be the first place would visit.
There has never been n time, in my
judgment, since the days of Lincoln
when the election of our candidate for
president meant so much to the Ameri-
can people, as does the election of Will
liam III. Taft, and there has never been
n time In the history of Idaho when the
election of the Republican candidate
for governor meant so much to the
people as the election of Hon. James H.
Brady. There are great issues at stake
in Idaho this year, and every Repub-
lean who has the best interests OF the
state at heart should fight as he has
never fought before for the election
of our candidate for governor.
TEMPERANCE QUESTION.
There is plank in our platform
that means much to the homes OF Ida
no. This plank, which ! shall discuss
before ] finish. is the temperance ques.
ton, now squarely before. the people
Of Idaho for the first time.
The Importance of Mr.. Brady's cleo
ton is impressed on me more and more
as ] read the speeches of the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, and
latch the work of the man, who is at
tic head of the Democratic state or
ganization at Boise. III discussing the
issues of this campaign am not 60
Ing to bring back to life the two Demo-
cratic administrations that Idaho has
had since statehood for the two men
honored by the people as their chief
executive have passed from this earth.
So far as l am concerned, If they had
faults, those faults lie buried with
them. Both men had their virtues, and
tlicir virtues should be remembered.
III my discussion tonight I am going to
pay some attention to the Democratic
nominee for governor, and to that man
S WHO Is al Tie 5lledu OIL the democratic 4
state central committee at Boise, John
Nugert. I see that Mr.. Alexander. the
Democratic candidate for governor, is (
attacking my administration and
charging great extravaganza. Mr.. Alex
antler makes a general charge. He does

Idaho has practically doubled In
population since the Steunenberg adj
ministration. The people Of Idaho are
proud OF this. 1t is true there have

Possibly Mr.. Alexander would have left

Idaho $4,000. wish to thank the
members of the last legislature, both
Democrats and Republicans, for the

political affiliations, voted to pay the
exrcnses already incurred and provide

saese trials. Without this great ex-
tense the tax levy for the past two
years would have been much lower.
CONSTRUCTIVE WORK.
Eve have practically built up the
University of Idaho since Gov Steun-
enberg's administration Everything
that now represents our university has
been brought into existence during the
last eight years. In the Steunenberg
administration there was one building.
Now we have 10 splendid buildings.
We have built the Academy of Idaho
nj Pocatello, which Is the praise of the
southeastern portion of the state The
Industrial school at ST. Anthony has
been built and is conceded by all
to be a splendid institution and much
needed for the training of our hayward
boys and girls. We have built the
north Idaho asylum for the insane
at Orofino. for the care of the insane in
this part of our state. which the die
tates of humanity demanded should be
built. We have built supreme court
building at Lewiston. There have been
appropriations made of $4,000 for the
hew' capitol building. There has been
appropriated $4,000 during my admin
stration for the construction of wagon
roads.
