the governOrship, but to insist
that Governor Alexander run for
a second term. If he should re-
fuse they admit it will be difficult
to find as strong a man.
The next chairman of that
party is to be Joseph II. Pence.
He served satisfactorily during the
last campaign. No other candi-
dates have been mentioned. Rob
ert H. Elder of Occur d'Alene will
in all probability be reelected ma

Governor Gives AC-
count Of Stewardship

Boise, Idaho, Jan. S.-Govern-
or Moses Alexander has just rem
dered an account of his steward
ship of the ship Of state during
the first half of his administra-
ton, the year 1915, and there are
a gleeful lot of democrats over the
state. They believe the governor
has made good, despite the at
tacks and are working under the
slogan, Pull Together" They
declare that, with harmony and a
compact organization solidly be-
hind President Wilson and Gov
ernor Alexander, they stand a
good chance Of holding down re-
publican pluralities, carrying the
state again for Wilson and re-
electing not only the present
chief executive, but breaking thru
the solid ranks of the Republicans
in the balance of the state ticket.
The summary of the statement
issued by Governor Alexander re-
garding his stewardship follows:
IL insisted in as strong terms
as knew how to use that the leg
islature should exercise the ut
most care in making all appropri-
ations. AS rapidly as appropri-
alton measures we're passed by the
Legislature they were disapprOved
by me until the total amounted
to S267,3 1872. The appropriation
bill as finally approved by me
provided for the expenditure of
$868,343 less money than was ex-
pended during the previous two
years, the total appropriation in
that bill being 61,996,942, as
against a total expenditure under
the Haines administration of ST.
sos, 1856. The various state de-
partments have averaged nearly
$4,000 a month less than they
did or the corresponding months
o; the preceding administration.
These efforts have resulted in a
demand from the taxpayers of the
state of more than S23O,OOO less
money for the first year of my ad-
ministratiOn than the former adj
ministration demanded in the first
year. In other words the tax
payers Of the state will have to
pay for state purposes this year
only S81O,8l6, as against the ST.
04i,63O which they had to pay in
1918"
There now seems little question
the democratic party of this state
will send to the next national
democratic convention at St.
Louis a solid Wilson delegation,
headed by the governor, who is
recognized as the right hand man
of the president in this state
Democrats from all factions, the
Dubois and anti-Dubois, the Nor
mon and anti-Mormon, will be
represented on the st. Louis del
egatio. At least that appears &c
be the talk among democratic
leaders.
From them it was learned this
week, that the party does not ex-

The first news of the encounter !,
was furnished Tonopah by the Bon

leading resorts. the Mizpah hotel and
the Elks club. The news was re-

learned that the message was au-
thentic, direct from the Associated
Press. and there could not be any
doubt of the substance OF the story.

the Importance OF the news, stopped
