Il OUTLINES POLICY
Will be the Governor of all
the People Idaho.
Will Insist That Legislature Make
III Good Every Pledge of Plat
II form and Legislate For
~ the Good of all.

9 iseiUerating that he is TO be the
governor OF the whole people of the
recognize faction or clique in giving
the people of the state an economic
business administration, Governor
emlect John M. Haines returned frol
mis- California trip yesterday morn
Ing. The incoming governor is very
anxious that the republican party
$become a reunited power in the
tate and in the nation and that it
york out the reforms promised in
Rs platform.
Mr.. Haines will go further than
he platform of his own party in
nacting laws for the benefit of the
tate, he says, and will pick out the
Eood things of the democratic and
Eogressive platforms and recommen
nat they be carried out. A great
many things which possibly might
enefit the state were overlooked
in all three platforms and he in
ends to recommend that the legis-
;l4rure do all in its power to aid
ne people in getting strong, bene-
Ncial progressive legislation.
s The governor elect will insist up
Nn the performance of every pledge
xaRde by the republican party and
~ that end he will take the ground
mat the legislature being overwhelm
1nugly republican, shall carry out
these pledges and in addition it
shall not limit it's Obligations to the
people of the state by the mere Ian
&rage employed in constructing the
Iparty platform.
The incoming governor thinks
that the intent rather than the Ian
image OF party platforms should be
the guide OF the legislature in carry
Ing out party promises and enacting
into laws whatever is considered to
~ good in the platforms of other
PARTIES.
IN the matter of appointments
~. Haines intends to associate
nth himself men Of his party in
the state and demand of them that
e1ey do their utmost to carry out
ne party pledges and give the state
Qne Of the most economical and pro-
eressive administrations it has ever
nd. To do this the new governor
tes that he will devote every
4fnute of his time in taking care
q the business Of the state.
3 Governor-elect Haines thinks that
4 the legislature and his appointees
yall be guided by the party pledges
l1at there will not be any need for
y third party in the state of Idaho
4e wishes it understood in the
4ost emphatic terms that the pur-
norted interviews which were print
~ in Portland and San Francisco
pApers regarding his attitude upon
lose who temporarily severed their
|onnection with the republican party
pring the past campaign were gar
ed and that in some cases false
bod was INDUCED in by over-am-
tious newspapers.
In commenting upon his position
regard to the progressives the
coming chief executive of the state
dls upon all republicans whether
ley have temporarily severed their
nnection with the republican party
not. to return to the party and
"a all in their power to aid him
q the republican officials Of the
te in enacting good legislation
carrying out promismed reforms
thinks that If all unite and work
the common cause of the good
Idaho that there will not be any
pm for a division in the republ-
ranks.
Governor-elect Haines Is very en-
2atic in saying that instead of
pse who temporarily left the re-
blican party being counted out
d read out of party councils that
will invite many of these to
~ upon him and confer regarding
opposed legislation and those things
hich will tend to the upbuilding of
aho.
ITO that end the incoming execu-
Be announces that no special inter-
4ts of any kind will receive favors
his hands and that the humblest
sdividual N the state will be as well
Pme as anyone and that his rights
E5ll be as carefully guarded as the
