FRANK MOORE MAKES talk
North Idaho Candidate Draws
Aside the Curtain.

When the American people once
emancipate themselves, the public will
find that laws will become more effec-
tive and good government will gener-
slly be forthcoming. Such a condi-
ton now exists in the nation and per-
colates each county and city. The
people are awake. The trusts must
obey laws now on the statute books.
The people have spoken in no uncer-
tain tones in Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota
and even old Maine, the home OF
Blaine, Reed and Dingley. The re-
publican party through its progress
sive men, styled by the public gener-
ally as insurgents together with de-
mocrats have recently taught old
leaders like Aldrich, Burroughs, Hale
and Tawney, that when they say in a
national platform to the people that
they will revise the tariff downward
that they must keep faith.
In Idaho today republicans who
refuse to stand hitched to old tradi-
tions are locking arms with demo
Gratis and will continue their battle for
honest treatment till the victory is
won. Party lines are to a great ex-
tent forgotten, but the high prices of
what all must eat, wear and needed
comforts of home, now almost beyond
their reach, are not forgotten i'll this
year of independent voting. The
people are praying and pleading for a
change and with united democracy
in Idaho and the kindly aid of re-
publicans there will be change and
for the betterment, Judging from the
approvals that have gone up in the
states where elections or primaries
have been held.
There are many republicans in this
state who refuse to follow blndly the
lead of Brady and are willing to bear
the criticism Of being called unruly
insurgents or 'progresslves', in or
der that good may come to all the
people. These men stand for pro-
gress. Men who manifest the spirit
which has at all cycles of history
given rise to liberty and destroyed the
superstitions of the age. Such men
were Franklin, Blaine and Lincoln.
We no longer laugh at these men and
woe be the editor who dares scorn the
verdict recently registered against the
conduct Of these voters. These men
are here to stay till wrongs are righted
and promises are fulfilled.
1t was to such men and to united
democracy that Frank Moore, candi.
date for Attorney General spoke on
last Thursday night. He addressed
an appreciative audince. Republi.
cans came to hear him, and while this
is nothing generally uncommon, for
citizens to 60 and hear all speakers,
out ON this occasion it was significant,

tlett Sinclair was telling a republican
audience summoned by a brass band,
now 1t happened that the republican
party failed to keep its pledges to the
people to revise the tariff downward,
ana said that President Taft would

commission would be appointed in the

dear people could and should wait
ana give the President time to show
.nat what the republicans said about
0rlff would be all right. This is ths
%me plea that Aldrich, Cannon and
rayne have been making. Well any
way Frank Moore had few plair
'acts and told the people what wa.
