part:
This has been one of the most
satisfactory trips have made In this
state. In fact it is the only trip |
have made In the state on a political
mission. have heard so much talk
emanating from the opposition to the
effect that | would not carry the
north that | concluded to take a look
over the territory in person. Although
went on political mission. at ey cry
place | arrived, ! met with such a
generous reception and was received
with such gracious hospitality by all
the citizens that | could not get up
enough courage to make a strictly po-
litical speech at any point and in all
of my addresses l gave a description
OF the work done by my administra-
ton, OF the resources OF our state,
and reiterated my position on the TEN
perance question. and everybody seem
am quite sure that am.
Everybody Took interest.
The greatest demonstration was
probably at Grangeville. 1t seemed
to me that the whole country came
out there to meet me. Their SPLEEN

If am half as dear to the hearts of
those people in Idaho county as they
are to me, my majorities will be suf-

Aspires to Second Place at Least.
Idaho county is the home OF Judge
Ailshie, and l might say in passing
that Idaho county is very proud OF its
favorite son, and their loyalty to him
Is pure and true. But after the Judge
| am going to claim second place In
their affections, until ii is demonstrat
ed that ! am mistaken.
Il visited Kootenai, Latah, Idaho an,
Nez Perce counties, and | find that
the claims that | am not going to car
ry the north are absolutely unfounded
l will come down from the north With
a good clean majority of first choice
votes over all opponents. There may
be found some opposition in the towns
to me, by those who do not approve
of my views on the temperance ques-
farmers and the home folks in the
rural districts there is nothing to it
but victory, that l can see.
This is the first statement of this

about the political conditions in this
state, and IL | do not carry this state
in the coming election by clear ma

am willing to go ON record as not I'M

or the political conditions within our
borders.
Heavy Vote Is Assured.
''The opposition is basing its hop
es on the idea that the country peo-
pie will not register and vote. They
are going to register and vote more
generally than has ever been done in
the history of this state, and there
will be more votes polled in one sing
lie county at the next primary election
than have been poiled in the entire
state at many elections under the
Oh convention plan
Last week in one county in the
north, over 1000 voters were register
ed in the country precincts in one
day. Such a thing never has been
known in the history of our stats be-
fore. 1t simply means that the peo-
pie realize that a great responsibility
has been placed upon them and they
are going to assume that responsible
ity and decide all matters by their
ballots intelligently, fairly and eQuit-
ably You may corrupt a convention,
but no man, and no set CT men. can
corrupt the masses of the people.
They have their homes and their fam
lilies to protect, and the question of
their protection is sacred to them.
