Robert M. McCracken of Boise has
announced his candidacy for congress
in letter to Chairman Hoffman, Of
which the following is copy:
Hon. Chas. L. Hoffman,
Chairman Republican State Central
Committee,
Occur d'Alene,
Dear Sir: Under the apportionment
law enacted at the last session OF con-
gress, Idaho will be entitled to elect two
members to the house OF represent
atives. propose to be n candidate for
the nomination for the newly created
place before the primary election to be
held on the Both day of next July.
am a progressive and believe that
most of the republicans Of Idaho are in
sympathy with the aims Of the pro
grcssive leaders OF the party. Under
our primary law, the platform OF our
party will be written in convention. |
hope that the makers OF the platform
will realize that the rank and file Of the
republicans of Idaho stand for progress
and that they will not be satisfied with
any luke-warm expression OF the party
upon the great questions which con-
front the nation ut this time. But re-
gardlcss OF what the platform convcn-
ton may do, have in mind some lcgs-
lation which could be proposed by
anyone whose privilege it might be to
represent this state.
There is large portion OF our popu-
lation in Idaho which is engaged in
mining. The man who is willing to
take the risk OF such an occupation
should have the assurance from some
source that when he suffers the loss of
life or limb in the course of mis- labors,
he, or those dependent upon him for
support, will be decently compensated
In all patents hereafter granted to the
owners of mining claims there should
be reserved to the government certain
percentage OF the net profits Of the
mines to be used within the state where
such mines are situated for the care of
the injured, and those dependent upon
him. ! mean by this that a liberal in
surance should be paid to the injured
or to his representative out of the net
proceeds of the industry. Had this
been the law in the early period OF
Idahos mineral development, millions
OF dollars would now be available to
the many men who have suffered in
juries while working our mines.
Mr. McCracken's residence in Idaho
covers a period OF over twenty
years during which time he has been
identified with its development and

public life. He came to the state in
1891, locating at Blaclfoot. For sew
eral years was engaged in teaching.
In 1902 he was admitted to the bar and
engaged in the practice Of his profess
sion in Blackfoot, the county seat of
Bingham county. Was elected chief
clerk OF the House Of Representatives
III 1903. In 1904 was elected prosecut-
ing attorney OF Bingam County. At
the end OF his term OF office as prose-
cutor, he was elected to represent his
county in the legislature. Following
the adjournment OF the Ninth session
he took up the practice of his profess
sion in Boise where he has since resid-
ed. He represented Ada county in
the Tenth session OF the legislature.
During both sessions he made record
through the introduction and passage
OF important bills, now laws At the
request of the Womcn's 'Federated
Clubs of Idaho" he introduced and Sc
cured the passage of the Child Labor
Law, the act relating to the community
property rights and the act creating tie
probation officer.
The famous local option law OF this
state was written by him and he was
one OF the most ardent supporters OF
the direct primary law. During both
sessions Of the legislature, while
member OF the House he made every
possible effort to have passed an en-
ployer's liability law drawn along the
lines OF the federal act.
Mr.. McCracken believes in and has
done great deal towards the enact
ment OF progressive legislation and
stands upon his record

themselves There had been stories of wild

Mayne Reid, Robert Montgomery Bird, and

settlers and commonwealth builders When

Beadle, who had previously drifted away from

and with lower order of merit.
Elliss "Bill Biddon' and Thomas c. Har-

of the hunter and trapper tales, the former
