In speaking Of the political stu
alton a. he sees it, Senator Good
ing said the other day 10 a Boise
Statesman reporter: TT is my Opin-
ion that the sentiment for presi-
dent Taft in this state is increas-
ing daily. All factions are becom-
ing convinced that Mr.. Roosevelt
stands no show of election; that
a vote for him Is partially q vote
for Wilson; that to elect Mr.. Will
son means that Democratic tariff |
legislation along free trade lines is /
insured and that as a consequence
Of such legislation, Idaho's prosper
ity and progress will be arrested
and hard times will follow.
"Idaho's wealth consists very
largely OF undevelOped resources
and her progress is dependent upon
development OF these resources. No
other State perhaps is more de-
pendent upon the protective tariff
system. Her timber. her minerals.
her wool and her agricultural pro-
duets all need protection, and if ,
Wilson is elected and his tariff ideas !.
are embodied into laws, these in
lustries will assuredly suffer in y
such manner as 10 bring about
repetition Of the hard times we !,
witnessed under Cleveland and all :
business and development in the 7,
state will come to a standstill. a.
"And right here, | want TO say
hat the Democrats are making
he same arguments that they did n,

when he had the opportunity to 81
perate this government under the
Democratic laws which brought a. r,
out such disaster as nearly bank
upted not only the State of Ida f,
o but the whole Nation.
These things, | say are in the Fl
linds Of the people, and | believe
hey are causing a wonderful
