John F. Nugent Introduced
Wholesale Use Of Money in
Idaho Politics.

Newell Would Take in the Cary Act
Projects-Responsibility of Public
Officials Will be Ascertained-Bra-
dy Makes STANDARDIZATION Says
There is no Hog Cholera.

Governor Gooding in his announce
ment as candidate for the United
States senate indirectly sets the date
for the wholesale use of money in poll
tics in this state as at the beginning
of the O'Neil- Brady campaign. This
is a mistake and upon reflection Gov
ernor Gooding will realize it. The
beginning of the wholesale use of
money was when Governor Gooding
was, a candidate to succeed him self
as governor of the state and John F.
Nugent was chairman of the Demo-
cratic state central committee In
that campaign more money was spent
by the Democratic party, through Mr..
Nugent, to defeat Governor Gooding
and the late Judge Frank J. Smith
than was spent before or since. The
sympathizers with the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners were able to defeat
Judge Smith but were unable to defeat
Governor Gooding. In speech de-
livered at Boise in 1908, Mr.. Nugent
declared that he had spent time and
money freely for the election and sue
cess Of the Democratic ticket, ,"and
that more money was spent under my
direction TO elect the last Democratic
ticket than was spent under the direc-
ton of any other man in the state"
At the time Mr.. Nugent was an at
torney for Meyer, Haywood and Pet
tibone and as the, sympathizers OF
these. men were spending thousands
of dollars of money in Idaho, il is
presumed that it was Western Fed
Grafton money that was spent. Clar-
ence Darrow was the chief counsel
for the accused men, and as was
known at that time and since proven
in California, he was a past master in
the use of money for corruption pur-
poses . 1
We make mention, Of these, facts al
this time simply to show that it was
Democratic leaders and not Republi.
can leaders who first introduced Tho
expenditure of money on a. large
scale in this state. Of course this ir
no wise 4exonerates any Republican

local purchasers are concerned,
they have the responsible firm
of Threadgill Bros, to look to
and we are sure that any guar
antee made by the Citizens Gas
Light Company and the Gooch-
Edenton Hardware company,
both Of Jackson, will be made
good by the local firm If necessa-

mended for metal surfaces aud
is said to withstand alike the ex-
IRENE heat of summer and cold
OF winter. The cheapness of
Gasco Paint must appeal to the
people and the guaranty that is
