People Should Finance Wilson's CannDdiQI

Gov. Wilson takes the position that
it is as much the duty of the people
to own the party machinery as it is
the Government machinery; for this
is government of parties, and the
government can therefore, be no better
than the influences which put it in
power and keep it in power. In the
past these influences have been corpor-
atoms and individuals seeking special
privileges from the government and ex-
acted from Government Officials heavy
tribute in return for having financed
the campaign that give these officials
their position of power.
Gov. Wilson wants nothing and will
have nothing of this sort. He wants
the people to own the party, which
means they will own the government.
Therefore he wants the Campaign

dent of the United States, and in

Idaho will elect two congressman this year and
while elected at large it has happened
that the nominees of both tickets are from differ
ent sections of the state Pugmire, of the dem
ocratic nominees being from the south and Add
sion Smith, who is seeking election on the republi
can ticket is from the same section of the state
while Burton L. French, the other republican can
didate and Perry W. Mitchell, who is on the dem
ocratic ticket from the north.
Up to this year Idaho has had but one represen-
tatve in the lower house, the office being occu-
pied by Mr. French of Moscow. The present in
cumbent, while perfectly nice man. is conduct
ing lady like campaign and while he claims to
be progressive has cast his lot with the Taft forces
all Of which strengthens a growing conviction
that as a true representative of the people and
man who can take care of the interests of Idaho
they may come up in Washington, Burton French
falls short
In the selection of Perry w. Mitchell of our
neighboring county of Lewis, the democrats Of
Idaho exercises rare good Judgment for in Mr.
Mitchell is to be found all that could be desired in
the person of representative Mr.. Mitchell has
been in the public life of Idaho some time serving
ing two terms in the legislature, and his record has
been one of accomplishments. While he can be
two terms in the legislature, and his record has
been a clean one and his life will bear the most
seaching scrutiny.
