The republican party presents &c
candidates and this platform To the
citizens of Idaho with increased con-
fidence that both will meet with
their approval. This conf. lence is
born OF a record Of promises full
filled. It's platform pledges Of 1903
were carried out to a letter bv =
republican governor and a repubu-
can legislature. Our party. in it's
contests two years ago, pledged
enactment Of a local option law.
antitrust legislation, a law for bigb-
way improvements, an employers
liability law and several other inn
portant reforms. All Of these and
much more progressive and REFORM
atory legislation is now upon the
statute books Of our state as a To-
suit of the work of this politi. al
ganization. IN addition to this
nificent record, the party has given
TO our citizens a primary election
law which enables the people y
each political organization 10 decide
directly who their candidates shall
be.
Endorsement of President Taft's
Administration.
We congratulate our party and
the country p 0 the record made
by our president, William H. Taft.
Without o%stentation or display, but
with calm. dispassionate and Judi
cfal action, he has proceeded to
carry forward to fruition the
mighty work started by his illus
trious predecessor, Theodore Roose-

enacted into law practically every
great reform pledge by his party
and approved by the people at the
polls.

Governor Brady.
We commend to the people OF the
state the magnificent work of Gov

Endorsement of Idaho's Delegation
to Congress.
Idaho's delegation in the con- !
gress of the United States has a d
record of which all our citizens I
should be proud. They have sus-
tanned the President in his great
work and have faithfully toiled for
Idaho in all matters coming before
the national congress-. While our
state is one Of the youngest in the
union, she has a representation in D
congress equal in ability and char d
acter to any in the union. We are u
especially gratified that their COM e,
handing ability is recognized not O
only there but throughout the D,
country, and that they have achiev- lie
ed for themselves and their state al
national fame. Thewelfare OF Idaho OF
depends upon the success of republi- til
can principles and their representa- in
tives have s~afeguarded their inter- in
ests in all legislative matters COM
ing before the national government
and have foremost in c~hampioning
the cause, not only of republican
ism, but of all the people in that it
great forum. III
