again. was the remark of Mr.. FL
mer, who was in Boomers Ferry
Monday in the interest of ex-Gov-
ernor GoodinR's candidacy for the
senatorial nomination. Il have
been spending the past month in the
north central portion OF the state.
where each day was apparently
hotter than the day before, and
where the continued dry weather
had resulted in filing the air with
dust, while in the mountains and
on the hill sides timber and brush
fires were making themselves un-
pleasantly numerous. The people
of Bonner county were fortunate
in weather conditions, compared
with some other portions of the
state further to the south.
But while the weather was
warm. the approach of the primary
election on September LIST has not
tended to reduce the heat. Local
conditions, naturally enough, have
first call in many places. The
United States senatorial nomina-
ton is also getting its share of ear
nest attention. Not only the re-
publicans, but the democrats, are
paying a good deal of attention to
the matter. The candidacy of ex-
Governor Gooding, believe, is
being everywhere we'll received,
} and there is no doubt he will 60
out of the north with the big end
of the vote.
This is almost entirely on ac-
count of his record as public SER
want, both in and out of office. His
four years service as governor was
, so business like in character;
through his influence so many con-
structive and reformatory laws
were passed, and were so wisely
5 administered; he stood so firmly
and courageously for the right dur
ing the crisis in the states affairs
{ following the assassination of ex-
: Governor Steunenberg and the trial
I of his murderers; since his term as
governor he has been so uniformly
: active in the passage of healthful
| legislation that the people of the
e state who know and appreciate the
man strength are anxious that he
should be given an opportunity to
serve them in the United States
c senate.
During his speaking tour of the
, state his statement of his beliefs
and desires in governmental sense
met with universal approval,
Coupled with this is the sense OF
a the people that he Is as willing as
S he is able to serve not only Idaho
but the nation; that his place in
the senate would be one of great
I influence and power. His expert
: ence during his years of public life
in Idaho of never having lost po-
litical fght-of never faltering and
never making surrender-but OF
having once he had reached prop
r er conclusion, standing to his guns
5 till that idea had been crystallized
into law, stands him in
E good stead now. Starting with
, woman suffrage, which he was
7 among the first to champion; run
ming on to the deposit of state and
county funds in bonded institutions
{ which pay interest on such depos-
its; the reorganization of the state
land department to the profit of the
: state 10 the extent of millions of
dollars; the establishment of hos
pital for the insane in north Idaho;
the exclusion of the immoral and
) Infamous from the exercise of the
: elective franchise; the throwing of
safeguards about the conduct of
county affairs; the creation of a
public service commission and its
operation to the benefit of the peo-
pie and of the corporations them
selves-he has been the greatest
creative force for good laws the
state has had "
