Lewiston, Oct. Ex-Governor Alexan-
der last week made what was probably
the most original and remarkable CAM
paign ever made in the United States
for a similar period.
Starting at Lewiston last Monday
and finishing up the week Saturday
night at Kamiah, the governor spoke
in II towns and addressed fully 5000
people. EVERYWHERE he went he met
with the heartiest receptions, and at
each of the meetings the crowd was
very responsive and enthusiastic.
Never in the history of north Idaho
did any candidate for office hold as
many meetings and talk to so many
people within the period of one week
as did Governor Alexander last week.
In the first place, the originality of

doubtedly the first one who chartered

cial." to use for campaign purposes.
The use of this speeder made 1t possi-
BILE to cover so much territory in
mountain country in so short time.
Secondly, his campaign last week
was remarkable for the crowds that
came out to hear him and the high de-
gree of enthusiasm shown by the peo-
pie whom the governor addressed. 1t
may be asked: "Why the crowds and
the enthusiasm" The answer Is easily
told. The crowds came because the
people realize Governor Alexander has
made the most wonderful record ever
made by any governor of this state.
Their enthusiasm is unbounded because
they know he saved the taxpayers over
$500, 900 during his term, in spite of
the most desperate efforts of his po-
litical opponents to put him in a hole.

Hon. z. T. Meredith,
Des Moines, Iowa.
My Dear Mr.. Meredith: Responding
to request for information concern
ing your connection with the West End
Twin Falls Irrigation company, 1t
gives me pleasure to state that while
was the Republican governor of the
state of Idaho. was, by virtue of that
office, chairman of the land board
having charge of the irrigation pro-
jects of this state.
During the many times matters came
before the board affecting the company
in which you were interested. we
found that you always acted In the
utmost good faith and that you per-
sonally did all that anyone could do
towards protecting those who were in
vestors in the company, and upon
many occasions 1t was stated to the
board that you would willingly sacri
flee your own interests If the interests
of others could be protected.
The failure n number of years age
of a large Chicago bond house pre-
cipitated most of the troubles which
developed. and neither you nor any,
one else is responsible for present con-
ditions. However, / am very happy
to state that conditions are now i'm
proving, and it is my judgment that
ultimately every investor, as well az
yourself, will be reimbursed.
During my administration your COM

MORNING PAPER WITHHOLDS'
LETTER FROM HAINES
Attempt to Make Political Capital Out Of the
Failure Of West End Twin Falls
Project Falls Flat


Following an effort on the part of
the morning paper to make it appear
that Governor Alexander was trying
to play politics in the state of Iowa
because of a letter written by him to
E. T. Meredith of that state, much
stronger letter upon the same matter
written by Governor John M. Haines
was given out at the governors Of
flee today.
The opportunity made by the morn
ing paper to misrepresent Governor
Alexander arises out OF the deplora bic
failure Of the West End Twin Falls
project, one of the numerous pro-
jects handled entirely by Republican
officials so far as the state Of Idaho is
concerned, a failure, too, it Is claim
ed Mt the executive offices here, due
more particularly to blunders of a Re-
publican state engineer than to any
one else.
While the West End Twin Falls
company has so far made a miserable
failure Of it's project and has failed to
live up to its contract, there Is nothing
to show, so the claim IL made, that
there has ever been anything to occur
to show any personal dishonesty on
the part of Meredith. who is one of
the stockholders of tho company. On
the contrary there is abundant evil
dence in the records of the state land
board to show that Meredith has been
a personal loser because he advanced
his own money in an effort to prevent
loss to settlers.
