CHANCES BRIGHT
ON GOYERNORSHIP
ID. w. DAVIS OF AMERICAN FALLS.
CONCLUDES HIS VISIT IN THE
NORTH TODAY
Satisfied With Results of His Trip
Conferred With Republican Party
Leaders in Moscow Today

The political horizon is clearing for
Hon. d. W. Davis, farmer and banker
of American Falls, who is candidate,
for the republican primary nomina-.
ton for governor. Mr.. Davis arrived
in Moscow this morning from the nor
thern part of the state where he has
been mixing with republican leaders
in many towns; and as he breezed
Through the city he expressed keen
satisfaction with his tour of the
north, declaring that he had received
much favorable consideration from
those whom he met, and was entirely
satisfied that his chances for securing
the republican nomination which he
said were far better than they were
a month ago.
Il have not been making a campaign
/ in the NORTH said MI. Davis, "but
rather have been comforting with re-
publican party leaders and others to
learn the sentiment with regard to
how my candidacy would be treated,
| have every reason to be satisfied with
what | have observed and learned and
feel that in the open primary race
that | will not fare badly in the north.
While there is much press gossip
about the north uniting on single
northern man for governorship, l find
the people of this part of the state
very friendly and not unwilling to con-
slider Idaho candidates as whole.
Wherever a county has a home candi-
date for office. few persons could ex-
pect the people of that county to be
lax in their loyalty to their own
friend and neighbor.
MY visit to the north has been an
extremely pleasant one. l have met
many old friends and made many nGV
acquaintances. ! am returning home
much gratified with the treatment ac-
corded me everywhere and feel that
when the campaign period begins that
/ can safely return to this section and
lay my claims for political preferment
before the people,
Though Mr.. Davis remained in Mos
COW this morning only between trains.
he found time to confer with many
prominent republicans in Moscow. He
left for Lewiston and from that point
will begin his journey homeward to-
night.
