to the people of Idaho the following
principles OF government:
We reatirm our allegiance and de-
votlon to the principles of Democracy
as exemplifed by the great leaders
Thomas Jefferson, Andrew jackson,
w. J. Bryan and Woodrow Wilson.
We congratulate the people of the
nation upon the accomplishments and
achievements of our present Demo-
cratic administration, in that it has
already enacted into law more con-
structive legislation in the interests
OF the great ommon people thar has
been accomplished by the Republican
party during its existance.
Praise For Tariff.
by a revision of the tariff in the in
terests of the consume it has unfet-
tered industry and and de-
prived monopoly of its control of pro-
duction, distribution and prices, and
places the burden of taxation upon
the shoulders nos able to bear il.
Its currency reform measure max
ing it impossible for combinations of
capital to precipitate panics and wreck
values, has met with the enthusiastic
approval of all citizens, regardless of
political affiliations.
ROut of the Lobby.
Inc routing of an i~nsidious lobby
from the halls of congress-, the fair
ness, wisdom and consideration with
which the president is treating the
trust question, his peace policy in our
with our sister republic. inst
~ place our president in history as
the greatest statesman of modern
and the many plans and policies
have been worked out for in
creasing the welfare and happiness of
our citizens. such as the rural credits

the parcel post system, the placing
the postal department on a having
basis, the policy t O increase our trade
with foreign nations and better our

OF prosperity and contentment in ALI
public and civil affairs.
We heartily indorse the purpose of

Like the Income Tax
we congratulate the people OF The
nation upon the fact that we now
incorporated in the constitution
the United States provisions for an

'esult Of a long succession of Demo-
