Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1912-11-25

It pleases, but In Idaho We propose TO
continue the Republican party In all
| its purity, and night our battles along
the same lines AZ In the past
what did say then and what say
now IL that the Republican party IL
the dominant party in Idaho and that
we expect to continue II as such by
bringing about within the party every
reform necessary to keep the Repub-
lican party in the future as 1t has been
| in the past the party Of progress and
advancement in this state.
| Represents No Faction.
! II desire to repeat now, having been
elected governor of the state Of Idaho,
what 1 said In public statement is
sued after the official canvass of the
votes cast at the primary election
showed that had been nominated by
the Republican party as its candidate
for this office, that shall regard my
self as the governor Of the whole peo-
pie and not as the governor OF a party
or faction within q party.
mo special interest Of any kind
need expect favors at my hands, nor
shall the rights of the humblest In
dividuals ever fail to command my
careful attention and fullest consider
alton.
"As l stated at that time also. l
shall insist upon an honest perform
ance of every pladge contained in the
party platform on which l was elected.
The legislature being overwhelmingly
Republican, shall take the ground
that the members of our party must
not measure and limit their obliga-
tions to the people by the statements
contained in the party platform.
at is my belief, and shall so ad-
, wise the legislature, that their party
platform is to be considered as a meas
IRE of performance below which tue
dominant party must not fall. but that
II is in no wise to be considered a
limit beyond which it may not go. In
this view of the matter i shall ntt
he state to recommend to the careful
considerations Of the legislature al
such matters Of progressive legislation
as the people have shown themselves
interested in, notwithstanding the fac'
e that these matters may not be IN
e clcded within the platform Of my party
IAN legislation which / believe Il
' ne for the best interests of the people
, of this state l shall unhestitatingl!
V recommend and to the best of my abil
t ity insist upon, whether 1t Is promised
in~the platform of the Republican
Democratic or the Progressive parties
l or whether it may have been over
s looked by those who framed the plat
!, forms of all these parties.
n II EXPECT to devote the best en-
: .rgies of my life toward making m,
h administration the most economical
n the most efficient and the most pro
= rrassive which we have had in thi
: state, and it is my purpose, by wis
t exercise of the appointive power vest
d ell in me, to associate with mysel
e those members of my party who ar
y hest able to help me accomplish thes
h results If this can be brought abou
= here will be no excuse for the con
2. tinued existence IN this state of an
d third party. The Republican part
will have BEEN shown to be the pro
: sressive party Of the state. the part
o most vitality interested in the welfar
d Of the state, and the party to b
y trusted with the administration Z
y public affairs.
IS eff this can be brought about, also
. those members of the Republican
party who have temporarily allie
!. themselves with the third part
movement in this state will be glad t
renew their allegiance to the Repub
llican party, for it will have been mad
all that they could desire in the mat
ter of due and proper regard to tn
rights of all the people, since the gov
eminent will have been brought clos
to the people and will have bee
made responsive to their every Jul
\ demand.
\ Holding such views II would
manifestly improper for me to issr
any statement which could possib
be construed as a threat, or as a d.
sire to read out of the Republics
party any man who now calls or WI
ever has called himself Republican
Should Return to Party.
Those Republicans who, in tn
campaign, for reasons which were I
4. doubt satisfactory to them, thought
necessary to temporarily sever the
connections with the Republican part
should now return to their party a
- llegiance and should be willing to wol
with us for the accomplishment
such results as will demonstrate b.
y yond all question of doubt that the
- is no room in this state for divisit
of the Republican party on question
of real progress or progressive legi
lation. All this is, of course, Who'll
apart from the question which exist
in the minds of many in the campait
through which we have just passed
eS to the necessity of such division.
pc Instead, therefore, of being coun
ed out of the party, those members
the Progressive party who were r
publicans will be welcomed back in
e. the party and will be invited to co
~ fer with and assist us in every prop
manner in bringing about the be
w results for the people of this sta
os The war is over; let us have peace al
progress"
