burn" is the language used by ex-
Governor Frank r. Gooding Of Good
ing in launching his candidacy for the
toga. He has notified members Of the
legislature and his friends of his as
pirations and has personally seen
many Of the members elect. Last Sat-
urday he appeared before the Canyon
county legislative members and noti-
fled them Of his candidacy.
Governor Gooding does not believe
that geography has anything to do
with the election of United States
senator, and by this argument points
out that the northern part of the state
has no more claim to the senatorial
toga because it happens to be the
northern part, than the eastern or
southeastern or southern part.
Attention Is called by Governor
, Gooding to the state Of Washington,
where, he declares, its senators come
from the eastern part of the state,
while two thirds Of its people live on
the western side, the great range OF
mountains dividing the state east and
!. west acting as the same barrier as
the mountains that divide north and
south Idaho. The same condition Is
claimed by him to be true of Oregon
with its eastern and western division
. and in Montana where, since state
, hood, both senators have come from
the capital city, Helena.
