| Occur d'Alene, Idaho, Oct.
7, 1918. Frank R. Gooding,
Boise, Idaho. 1t is a source of
great satisfaction to the lawabid-
ing citizens Of north Idaho to
learn that you have accepted the
challenge of the Non-partisan
league and that you are fighting
against the scheme to substitute
a condition in our state border
ing on anarchy for one of our
government.
In this contest now going on
in Idaho you have a record
which gives your assertions
great value. From personal
knowledge | know you gave the
late lamented Steunenberg per-
sonal and official aid in his war
against anarchy. He lost his
life as the result Of that war but
| pray that no such end awaits
youf. defense Of Established So
ciety in Idaho.
When the unspeakable riots
|of the Occur d'Alene of 1899
occurred | happened to Be state
auditor. The extent of these
bloody outbreaks necessitated
the declaration BY Governor
Steunenberg Of martial law.
He saw fit to appoint me I'M
der our state law his representa-
tive in the disturbed district in
order to re-establish normal con-
ditions.
ut that time IL. r., SamneIS
the Nonpartisan candidate for
governor, soas prosecuting at
toney of Shoshone county, the
scene of the Instruction. He
had personal knowledge that
murders had been committed
and that the great mills of the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan COM
pany had been destroyed by the
rioters and that hundreds of
workmen thereby had been
thrown out of employment, and
yet he took no action to punish
the offenders.
AS administrator of martial law
/ appeal to him to do something to
vindicate the state and the law. He
refused. }.
Samuels was then forced to go be-
fore the courts and disqualify HIM
self In all trials growing out Of the
Occur d'Alene riots.
To preform the duty he had sworn
to preform other attorneys, at great
expense, had to be retained by the
state. Senator B0rah, James H.
HawQey and J. H. Forney were three
of the attorneys SO retained.

absolutely no part.
To again entrust him and his allied
Non-partisians with the highest
powers Of government at this time
Of our c0untry's trials Is dangerous
I'm the extreme.
Be assured that your champion
ship of decent and sane state govern
ment will receive the support, not
only OF the REPUBLICANS of the north,
but the Decomrats as we'll. In this
camaign the only issue in Idaho. as
we view the campaign is between the
forces of law, patriotism and estab-
lished society on the one hand and
the forces Of anarchy and discomfort
on the other.
Before res0rting to these extreme
methods with Samuels had wired
Governor Steunenberg that Samuels
was oowardly and incometent and an
obstruction to the restoration Of or
derby and constitutional government
in the Occur d'Alenes.-. Copy Of these

cords.
