are confident that upon the final )
review the tax payers OF Latah
county in 1908 will pay taxes on the
same valuation as the other counties
in the state OF Idaho.
We call the attention OF the people
Of Latah county state OF Idaho to
the resolutions adopted by the \
recent Democratic convention in
Latah county on the liquor question :
They give as a reason for favoring !
any legislation looking to the enact
ment Of the prohibitory law that
certain Republicans have advocated
prohibition and local option. The
Democrats thereby confessing that
they do not favor prohibition as a
matter OF right and justice to the
people. We condem them for trying
to delay legislation on this subject
by declaring for an amendment to
the constitution. The constitution
Of the state of Idaho gives ample
authority to the legislature to pass
a prohibitory law without delaying
ing the matter for IL period of three
years in order to submit constitu
tiOnal q endment. Attention is
e!so called to the people that every
act OF the legislation in this state
looking to the curtai.ment OF the
| liquor trafic has been enacted by q
Republican legislature and approved
by a Republican governor.
We favor the passage OF a state !
wide prohibition law to be enacted
10y the next legislature, and urge up
on the members of the delegation
to- the State Convention the impor-
tance Of all possible effort looking
to The piedging OF the party Of the
to this wholesome legislation.
| Our state educational institutions
should be the first concern OF the
people OF this state. We recognize
that the work done by these educa-
tional institutions will upbuild the
, moral and Intellectual welfare of the
! youth OF this state, and we favor a
plank in our state platform 'declar-
, ing that the next legislature shall
the Appropriation bills for tie edu-
cational and charitable institutions
of tho state Immediately upon the
convening of the Legislature and be-
fore any other work is taken up by
o the legislature.
We fovor the passage OF a direct
q primary election law that shall
n apply throughout the state to the
}. election of all state and county
# officers and to the Office of The
United States Senator.
We favor the nomination OF United
States Senator in the Boise conven.
ton. We feel that the record o
II Weldon B. Hepburn in the United
l. States senate during his present
term OF office has been a great credit
p. TO the people OF this state and Latal

IS ted as a unit to vote for the nomine

- satisfaction the distinguished service
We OF the Hon. james II. Brady a
'y' chairman of the Republican centrs
ad commit &c. He has been closel
tly identified with the various institr
all tiOns of the state and we believ
on that no mau in the state OF Idah
lis has better knowledge OF the need
and future welfare of the people 4,
the state OF Idaho than has Jane

Ia u fairs OF the northern part OF tt
