scented by the republican state central
committee, duly elected and authorized
under the provisions of the direct pri.
mary law. hereby announce and pro.
,mulgate the principles and platform of
the party at Boise, Idaho, on this the
-2Oth day of September, 1910.
The republican party presents its
candidates and this platform to the
citizens Of Idaho with increased con.
hdenoe that both will meet with their
approval. This confidence is born of
a record of promises ful6llsd. Its
platform pledges of 1908 are carried
out to the letter by republican gov
ernor and a republican legislature.
Our party, in its contest two years ago,
pledged the enactment of local
option Law, antitrust legislation.
law for highway Improvement, and an
employers liability law and several
other important reforms. All of these
and much more progressive and re-
formatory legislation is now upon the
statute books of our state as a result
of the work of this political organiza
tion. In addition to this magnificent
record the party has given to our citi--
zens primary election law which en-.
ables the people of each political or.
ganization to decide directly who their
candidates shall be.
We congratulate our party and the
county upon the record made hy our
president, William II. Taft. Without
ostentation or display, but with calm,
dispassionate and judicial action, he
has proceeded to carry forward to
fruition the mighty work started by
his lllustrious predecessor, Theodore
Roosevelt. He has succeeded in hav.
ing enacted into law practically every
great reform pledged by his party and
approved by them at the polls.
We commend to the people of the
state the magnificent work of Governor
Brady and his administl alton. His
record of achievement, in fulfillment
of party platform pledges, entities him
to the confidence of all the people oi
Idaho, and we have an abiding faitt
that they will applaud and sustain
him by an increased majority at the
polls in November.
Idaho's delegation in the congress
of the United States has record o.
which all our cltizeus should be proud
They have sustained the president il
his great work aud have faithfully
toiled for Idaho IN all matters coming
before the national congress. Whil'
our state is one of the youngest in th'
Union, she has a representation il
congress equal IN ability and characte
to any in the Union. We are especial
ly grati6ed that their com maudinI
ability is recognized not onlv there bu
throughout the country, and that the.
have achieved for themselves and thei
state, national fame. The welfare o
Idaho depends upon the success of re
publican principles and her represen
tatives have safeguarded her interest
in all legislative matters coming be-
fore the national government and hav
been foremost in championing tn
cause not only of republican,sm. bu
of all the people in the great forum.
We pledge the enactment of La
providing for non. partisan Carey ae
commission with full and complet
powers under the constitution to man
age and control aud safeguard tn
Carey act matters and all matters r.
lating to the disposition OF public land
under said act. We believe this wor
of disposing Of the lands under til
Carey act has grown to such pIopol
tions and is Of such vital importanc
as to require the exclusive attention {
competent board in order that th
interests OF the state and, the settler
may be fully and completely safe
guarded and protected.
We pledge the party to the enact
ment OF the law making it crimin
offense punishable by imprisonment

state employee or appointee havlr
anything to do directly or indirect
with the disposal Of our public lant
under the Carey act or otherwise
