The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1912-07-19

lion. Frank r. Gooding, former
Governor OF Idaho, has issued an
open letter to the Republicans OF
Idaho and to John 7. Morrison, can
didate for Governor before the COM
ing primaries, in which he sets out
his reasons for opposing Morrison in
a manner that forms a recital Of con-
vincing ana crushing power.
mr.. Gooding declares that he can
neither support Morrison for the
nomination nor can support him
ii he is the Republican nominee for
Governor" The author Of the state
ment declares that he does not be-
lieve he would be doing his duty as
a citizen to remain quiet at this time
and then array himself against Nor
rison ii the latter should be nomin-
ated; moreover, he makes 1t plain
that hesdesires to give Morrison am
pie time to present any reply he
might care to make.
He Knows ALI the Details.
Mr.. Gooding was Governor Of Idaho
at the time of the assassination OF
Governor Steunenberg and threw the
weight Of bis influence as chief ex-
ecutive and as citizen of Idaho un-
tlinchingly and uncompromisingly IN
the side of law and order. There is
none more familiar with every detail
of the Steunenberg case and none bet
ter acquainted with the means adopt
ed to defeat the State in the prose-
cution of the men charged with the
murder; and no one has ever doubt
ed his loyalty to Republicanism--
yet he states publicly that he will
not support Morrison If he shall be
nominated and gives as his reason
that when the State Of Idaho was
struggling to protect it's good name
against the greatest criminals the
world has ever known, John I. Nor
rison (recently out Of the Governors
chair became the attorney OF those
criminals against the State OF Idaho
and sold his influence and his SER
vices to. defeat the ends of justice"
Other Weapons Employed
Against State.
Mr.. Gooding reviews the whole
history Of the case from the rec
ords and from. his personal exper-
fences. He does not, however, refer
to one feature with which the public
generally is not familiar and which
reveals the viciousness Of the enemies
of Idaho to whom Morrison sold his
influence and his services.
Governor Goodings footsteps were
logged for months and his home
was watched by the secret agents OF
the defense. 1t became so annoying
that the Governor was forced to leave
his home and take up his residence
in hotel.
He received more than 5000
threatening letters condemning him
to death in all manner Of forms.
Not being satisfied with sending these
threats to him, many such letters
were addressed to Mrs. Gooding.
Every possible effort was made 70
destroy the peace Of his home ana
to bring about a nervous break down
