DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.

The direct primary law passed by 8
Republican Legislature and wisely
amended by the succeeding Legisla-
ture, has placed in the hands of the
people the nomination of all State and
County officers. Further amendments
to this law will from time to time be-
come necessary, and such desirable
amendments as experience may sug-
gest we pledge the party to enact. We
declare at the present time that this
law should be SO amended as to require
each voter at the time of registration
to declare his party affiliations to the
end that voting of the primary ticket
of one party by members of any other
party may be prevented. Such an
amendment was passed by the last Re-
publican Legislature and we denounce
as petty, party politics the act Of the
Democratic Governor of this State in
vetoing it. We condemn the Demo-
cratic party of this State for its at
tempt to nullify the provisions of the
Direct Primary Law by fixing up
States" of candidates for the various
offices, State and County, and pre-
venting more than one candidate from
filing for each office, in order that
members of the Democratic party may
help nominate Republican candidates
at the primary election.

ENDORSEMENT OF COMPRESSION.
AL DELEGATION,

We heartily endorse the effort made
by the Republican members in Con-
gress to secure constructive Republi-
can legislation, and to prevent the en-
actment into law of destructive Demo-
cratic policies and we commend to the
people of Idaho such able assistance as
has been rendered In this convention
by our delegation in Congress, Sena
tors Hepburn and Borah and Repre-
sentative French. We especially COM
mend to the voters of Idaho the bril-
liant and constructive craftsmanship
shown by Senator Borah as evidenced
by his successful advocacy of such
important questions as the three-year
homestead bill, the direct election of
senators and his work for the estab-
lishment of a bureau of child labor,
and the enactment of other progressive
measures.

RATIFICATION OF THE NATIONAL
PLATFORM AND CANDIDATES.

| The Republican party of Idaho here
by reaffirms its unfaltering allegiance
to the principles of the Republican
party as exemplified in the splendid
administrations of Presidents McI<in-
ley, Roosevelt and Taft. We ratify and
endorse the nominations made by our
National Convention at Chicago for
President and Vice President, and the
progressive and constructive platform
If principles there adopted. While rec
ogniziDg that there existed honest diff
ferences of opinion concerning the
choice OF candidates, we feel that the
best interests of our State require the
continuance in power of a Republican
National Administration. In this be-
lief, and with confidence in the result,
we pledge to each other and to Repub-
licans everywhere our earnest, ener-
getic and loyal support of William H.
Taft for President, and James s. Sher-
man for Vice President. President
Taft has been a firm and consistent
friend of the West, and particularly of
the State of Idaho, as is shown by his
attitude toward such purely Western
questions as the Borah-Jones three
year homestead bill. the various recla-

| Mr.. Brown knows the duties Of the
office. He was deputy assessor under
Hammond in 1896 and under p. J..
Smith in 1S97-9S.
He has been a resident of J.atah
county for 20 years and is liked best
where he is known best His neigh
bors of Kendrick have found him an
efficient and painstaking councilman
and mayor. The Gazette says:
Mr.. John F. Brown returned Snndey
from Lewiston, where he was taking
care of the Kendrick-Latah county eX
hibit. 1t is a pleasure to go into his
office and see the banners bearing
the words First Prize This shows
that this vicinity is not so slow after
all. We must give Mr.. Brown due
credit for the way he conducted this
campaign. 1t has been credit to him
self as well as to the county The ex-
hibit was mostly prepared by Mr..
Brown, and then he has spent three
weeks at the fairs exhibiting it, and
has worked hard Now he is enrering
into the political campaign, and it is
due him for the voters of the county
to show their appreciation for what he
has done by voting for him. for the
office he seeks, is that of county asses

Mr.. Haines feels that in order for

Blackstone and delved into the dusty

come candidate for governor.
Mr.. Haines feels. of course, that had
he been a lawyer he could speak with
mora intimacy to the farmer. and in
apologize tone explain to him his
$4,000 for preparing a mortgage on
his ranch
Mr.. Haines is handicapped in not
being a lawyer because he can not go

No, Mr.. Haines has been up against

is just business man with plain

them in maintenance in growth as far
as the finances of the State will allow,

and particularly those of the farming
class, to pay largely increased and I'M
necessary taxes. The present reye-
nue. law, while being an improvement
in some particulars over the old law, Is
still far from being a solution OF the
tax problem, and we pledge the Repub-
lican party to further legislation TO
correct existing evils.
