ty, Idaho, in due and lawful manner
promulgates the following as The prin-
ciples of the Republican party of Latah
county, at Moscow, Idaho, on this the
goth day of September, 1910:
We congratulate the people Of Idaho
upon the nomination of Hon. Burton
L. French as representative IN con-
gress. Mr.. French has already rep.
resented our state in congress during
a period of six years, and accomplished
many things for Idaho during the time
of his distinguished service. He is
clean, able, honest and courageous.
We predict his election to the high
Office of representative in congress by
an overwhelming majority, and are
confident that his work IN behalf of all
the people Of Idaho, on account OF his
wide experience and great knowledge
of the needs of the people of the state,
will, in the future, eclipse his enviable
record of the past. We point with
pride to the nomination of Mr.. French
under the direct primary law as an
illustration of the fact that party con.
ventions do not always carry out the
will Of the people.
We take pleasure in calling to the
attention of tie people of Latah county
the excellent public record of Hon.
Axel P. Ramstedt. who has so success.
fully performed the duties OF county
auditor for the past eight years. BY
his experience, good business Judg.
meut and regard for the business inter.
ests CT Latah county, Mr.. Ramstedt
has saved the people of Latah county
thousands of dollars and has brought
the business of his Office to a high
state of efficiency.
We endorse the record made by the
Republican county officials of Latah
county. We call especial attention to
the fact that under the administration
of Sheriff Robbins crime in Latah
county has been discovered and pun
ished and several thousands of dollar.
of fines have been paid. Sheriff Rob
bins especially deserves the good will
Of the lawabiding people of Latat
county for his energetic action in Sc
curing evidence against those wht
have violated the liquor laws and il
thus causing many convictions.
We compliment the people of Idah'
upon the passage by a Republica,
legislature Of our present direct primar'
law, and reaffirm our allegiance to tn
principle of nominating candidates b.
direct primary; and while few mino
changes may be made in the law tina
will make the same more practicable
and make It easier for our people T.
lexpress their preference in voting, a
the same time we deuand that ou
Isenator and representatives resist an
and every attempt to destroy or chang
the principle of the direct primary.
| We congratulate those representa-
tives in congress who succeeded il
securing a modification of the rules {
the house of representatives.; and W
favor such further changes as will Sc
, cure the election Of the committees {
the house by the members instead {
appointment by the speaker. We be
lieve that such changes tend to enabl
Representatives to more actually repr'
sent the people, and especially 81,
Representatives from the West an or
!, portunity to secure the passage of lei
( lslation that will be beneficial to wes'
. ern people and fair and equitable
all the people of the United States.
u We compliment the people of ldat
upon the passage of the present loc
option law and the great moral advant
that has been made in Idaho becau'
Of the opportunities given tho peopl
= under this law. We remind the pee
pie of lLatah county that it was the re
Y publican party that placed this law I
on the statute books; and that Il
v Democratic party, especially the Den
ocratic representatives from Lats
county, under the pretext of standir
for something at that time impossibl
not only did not lend any aid or assis
ance IN the passage Of this law b
opposed by their votes and moral ii
fluence the passage OF the law at eve
h opportunity.
We pledge our candidate for Il
v state senate and our candidates for 4
house of representatives, if elected,
vote for the submission of an amen
