Governor Alexander arrived in Boise
last night from Twin Falls, where lie
spoke Saturday night to q record
breaking crowd. The governor will
wind up his memorable campaign to-
night with a monster meeting at the
Pinney theater.
Never in the history Of Idaho politics
has a subernatorial candidates waged a
campaign on SO comprehensive scale
as did Governor Alexander In the cam
paign now closing.
There are approximately $4,000 vo-
ters in the state of Idaho. During the
past two months the governor made
speeches in 80 towns In the state and
talked to 10000 people. Five thousand
of them were school children and $4,000
voters. In other words, 2s per cent of
the voters of Idaho attended the gov
ernor's meetings during the past two
months.
Never in the history of Idaho has any
candidate for political honors talked to
SO great a percentage of the voters of
the state during the course of one cam
paign.
KNOWS PEOPLES NEEDS.
1t Is probably safe to say that the
governor knows the state of Idaho as a
whole better than any living man. Dur
ing his term as governor he has visited
every part of the state, and has made a
careful study of it's needs. No man in
Idaho knows the real conditions OF the
state so well as does Governor Alex
ander.
The governor has been criticized by
the politicians for being away from
Boise now and then. The politicians
are peeved about 1T. but the people are
pleased. The people realize more fully
than ever before that the governor is
always on the alert for their interests.
That Governor Alexander has at
heart the real interests of the people
and the taxpayers of the state, has
been fully demonstrated during his al
most two years as governor. The best
evidence of this is the fact that he has
numbers.
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Popular Government is Over.
thrown In South Dakota!
Shall the People Ruler


On1cialdom has repealed the Rich
ards primary law which the people
adopted by direct vote in 1912, and
which the people themselves, refused
to repeal: by second vote in 1914.
The 1915 legislature, nevertheless, re-
pealed it and also attached the emer-
gency clause to prevent the people
from referring this act of the legisla-
ture to a vote.
The politicians do not want the Rich
ards law. They want the secret spoils
system for the few, in place of the open
merit system for everybody. They do
not want plain ballot. They want
the present confused ballot. They do
not want issues discussed so the peo-
pie can hear both sides before they vote
as is provided in the Richards law.
The people have therefore again pc
titioned for the Richards law in amend
ed form to be voted on at November
election. Vote eyes" and put it
back to give it fair trial, and let off,
cialdom know that "Under God the
People Rule" in South Dakota. (Adv.)
