At a meeting of the Republican
State Central Committee held in
Boise Monday and Tuesday, Judge
Charles. l.. Hoffman of Rathdrum
was elected chairman and Addison
T. Smith, secretary of the commit
tee. The election was accomplished
after thirty-six hours of the most
strenuous political wire pulling ever
seen in Idaho. In addition tto Mr.
Hoffman. Messrs. Frank r. Gooding,
Addison. T. Smith, M. B. Gwinn and
B.F. O'Neil were talked of for this
position, The election of Mr.. Heit,
man, it is felt, will cement the var,
ious factions of the Republican par
ty and enable it to present a solid
front to the enemy in the coming
campaign.
The State Central Committee also
adopted state platform which en-
dorsed everybody and everything IN
the State of Idaho and few things
en- the outside. The platform reads:
The Republican party presents its
candidates and this platform to the
citizens of Idaho with increased con-
fdence that both win meet with
their approval. This confidence is
born of a record of promises full
filed. Its platform pledges of 1908
were carried out to the letter by a
Republican governor and a Republi-
can legislature. Our party, in its
contest two years ago, pledged the
enactment of a local option law,
antitrust legislation, a law for high
way Improvement, an employers liza
bility law and several other impor-
tant reforms. All of these and much
more progressive and refOrmatory
legislation is now upon the statute
books of our state as a result Of the
work. of this pofitftaf UfsaaiEatiaR,
In addition to this magnificent rec
ord, the, party has given TO- our .citi,
zens a primary election law which
enables the people of each politica
organization to decide directly who
s-sT
their candidates shall.be.
We congratulate our party and the
country upon the record made by
our president, William H. Taft
Without ostentation or display, bur
with calm, .dispassionate and judi
cial action, he has proceeded to carr!
forward to fruition the mighty Worl
started by his illustrious predecessor
Theodore Roosevelt. He has sue
ceeded in having enacted into law
practically every great reform pledg
ed by his party and approved by'th
people at, the polls.
