In the heat Of a political campaign
charges are frequently made against
the party in power in a state or the
nation, which are absolutely ground
less. And as people are quick to be-
lieve the evil things which are said
against fellow man and pass them
on to their nei9hbors with the rapid
ity of q prairie fire driven by a
fierce wind, it is not strange that
honest public officials often go down
to defeat under the fire Of these
baseless charges.
AS this is an '.Off year" in politics
1t is good time for the people to
study conditions in Idaho. Don't
close your eyes and ears until the
campaign opens next year and then
permit yourselves to be- swayed by
the smOoth-tongued politicians--do
a little studying and thinking for
yourselves now.
In its last issue the Idaho Review,
q strictly independent journal, pre-
sented to its readers the following
good food for thought under the
caption, Keep Cool and Move with
Care"
"This is no time for emotional
iimjams in Idaho.

mo time FOR EMOTIONAL
jim JAMS IN IDAHO
The Idaho Review Offers Some Good Food for
Thought Regarding Political Conditions in
Idaho at This Time.

The blackmailer is curse here as
elsewhere.
Moral courage, vigilance, patrio-
tism, common sense and common
honesty are the only qualities to be
relied upon with safety in working
for the public welfare.
The demoralizing influence of
blind partisanship was never more
clearly shown than in Idaho at this
time. 1t is the most depressing fac
tor in sight. Men from end to end
of the state, who are toadying to
Governor Alexander, talk of little
else but the state house gang and
republican corruption
Let us pin these fellows down to
brass tacks for minute:
Allen and Coleman were convicted
Of crime and placed in the peniten-
tiary by republicans, and republicans
alone. The state treasury was
Strengthened out by Axtel p. Ram
stedt and E. H. Dewey. two repub-
licans, under the direction Of a re-
publican governor. and every dollar
of the money stolen will be made
good by the bonding company be-
cause Of republican vigilance.
For his shortcomings James H.
Wallis was removed from Office by
republicans and his indictment by
the grand jury was due to the &C.
tion taken against him by republi-
cans.
Not dollar Of the money stolen
has been recovered to the state ex-
cept by republicans.
Not an unfaithful public servant
has been sent to prison except
through the action of republicans.
"All the wild democratic talk
about cleaning out the state house
has gone like gas FROM a ruptured
balloon. All the big promises OF
reform and economy have faded in
to oblivion. All the threats of un
covering official corruption are ex
posed as buncombe.
Democratic job-hunters will dis
cover, sooner or later. that the!
must appeal to the intelligent voter
Of Idaho on a broader platform thar
their shop-worn and silly charges
They will discover before they ge
far into the next campaign tina
their million-dollar saving is rot
ten foundation on which to build
Unless all present signs fail, voter
will demand from these democrat
facts instead Of buncombe; deeds in
stead of empty air.
Idaho is a clean state. The pee
pie are sound to the core. In n
!other is the record freer from stain
|, In no other is there a finer civi
spirit. In no other is there cleare
discernment between the true an
the false.
. This is why honest men may loo
! forward with confidencean and courags
Those who go to the people in abso
: ute frankness and honesty have notl
/, ing to fear, and these are the onl
men who viii contribute to the be
terment of conditions and to til
raising still higher of the standar
!. of Idaho"
