Shoshone, Sept. 21.---The Republic
cans of this county have closed up the
gap of dissention, after reorganizing
the county central committee. The
contest went to the state central COM
mittee and it was decided there that
Edward L. Dampier was the regularly
elected chairman, unseating Senator
Hastings. Secretary Il. A. Bowler re-
fused to CO. operate with the chairman
and rendered his resignation. This Of
flee was filled by Ex-Governor Good
ing's man, John Thomas. and the com
mittee got down to business at once.
The candidates accepted the situation
and agreed to work in perfect har-
mony with the committee as now con-
stituted. The candidates adopted a
platform of principles for the consid
Grafton Of the electors of the county.
1t will be noticed that they carefully
evade all mention of the president of
the United States and fail to indorse
the nomination of William II. Taft for

dates pledge themselves to vote for

I'VE, the Republican nominees for
AS6iSidliNO nIIu Souh's ohiSSs within
and for Lincoln county. state of Idaho.
desiring to promulgate our political
principles, do hereby make the follow
ing declarations and pledge ourselves
in the following manner
I'VE reaffrm our allegiance to the
principles of the Republican party and
we firmly believe in the ability and
wisdom of the grand old party to cope
LIE
in progressive manner resulting in
the future as in the past in wise and
just administration OF our public af-
fairs.
For Senator Borah.
Acknowledged and approaching
the splendid services rendered to our
state by our able representatives in
congress we heartily endorse all their
transactions and efforts in behalf of our
state and our nation and in particular
do we entertain and cherish q just
pride in the accomplishments of our
able and loyal United States senator,
Borah. and fully appreciate the noble
work SO well performed in behalf of
our commonwealth and the nation by
that distinguished statesman, and we
pledge our united support to his re-
election to succeed himself.
I'VE believe in progressive policies
and in carrying them into effect by
active work rather than promises and
declarations,
I'VE believe the people are the true
rulers in a republic like ours and the
officials from the highest to the lowest
are and of right should be the servants
of the people and should so conduct
the affairs of their offices as to comply
with the wishes of the majority OF the
people, and should at all times be gov
erned by and enforce existing laws Of
the state and nation.
I'VE believe in honest and econom-
teal administration OF all public affairs
and strict compliance with the en-
forcement Of the laws.
I'VE believe that municipal govern
ment in every branch should be con-
Quoted economically and along strict
business lines and we believe that a
public official in whatever capacity
should attend to his duties and trans
act all public business along econom-
teal lines same as prudent business
man would attend to his own personal
and individual affairs
Public Utility Commissions.
I'VE believe that public utility COM
missions would tend to the betterment
and upbuilding of our progressive state
and we urge that legislation to estab-
lish such commission be enacted as
soon as conditions warrant the adoption
OF same.
Approaching the value of good
roads and their tendency towards de-
veloping n community rapidly and sub
stantially VIC pledge ourselves to do all
within our power towards promoting
