CLUB WOMEN OFOlD HOWE OF
Martin SEND MESSAGE
Of encouragement
From All Corners of State Come Words Of De.
nunciation fsr1Maicious Attack Made
By Invisible Government"

Declaring her belief that Providence
had placed in her hands, certain
letter for the defense Of good man,
a prominent Pocatello club woman,
who requests that her name be with
held from publication, but which, II
published, would show Der likewise to
be one of the very bsst known club
women of the entire stSte OF Idaho, has
wired the Capital News copy OF
letter from the Wom4ns club OF Spen-
Ger, Iowa, which accidentally fell into
her hands and which expresses the
utmost confidence IN the integrity and
ability of G. II. Martin. Progressive
nominee for governor.
This Pocatello club woman Is also
closely identified with the Women's
Republican club Of that city and this
doubtless accounts for her desire not
to have her name used with the COM
munication the chief feature of which
is the signed letter from the Spencer
women Her name is attached to the
telegram, hit her request is observed
that her name be not made public.
In sending the letter she says:
"Since the character of Mr.. Martin
has been assailed by men of Spencer,
Iowa, whom we do not know. l here
with offer this letter from the club
women of Spencer, Iowa, whom we
may Judge as representing the aver
age good woman. The letter ought
to carry special weight since it has not
been written for political reasons and
fell into my hands by accident
The letter referred to is then given
as follows:
Spencer, Ia, Oct. 10. 1912.
ITO Mr.. and Mrs. G. H. Martin,
Standpoint, Idaho.
Dear Friends: Since our former
townsman. Mr.. Martin, has received
the nomination for governor of the
state of Idaho, the Spencer Women's
club wish to extend congratulations to
both Mr.. and Mrs. Martin.
1--WE trust that Mr.. Martin will be
elected to that honorable position
which we know he will fill with abil-
ity and with credit to the state. The
election in Idaho will be watched
with much interest not only by the
club, but by Spencer in general. We
truly hope we may say in the future
that the governor of Idaho's wife, for
a number of years, was member of
our woman's club. We will then feel
that we are Progressive indeed. The
best wishes Of the club are yours.
"(Signed)
MRS. A. w. CHAMBERLAIN.
corresponding Secretary"
This Pocatello club woman closes
her message as follows:
Notice that the date is Oct. Is. Be-
!ieving that Providence has placed
this letter in my hands at this time
or the defense of good man. l am
sincerely yours" Then follows the
signature with the request that her
ramc be not used. Hundreds Of club
women, however, throughout Idaho
will readily recognize from whom II
comes.
