G. C. Moore
Charlie Moore of St. Anthony is
likely to be a candidate on the Re-
publican ticket for lieutanent gov
ernor this year. He has been in the
real estate. business in his town for a
long time and many people who have
good farms up there can thank Mr..
Moore for getting them located in a
good country and on good land.
Ten or twelve years ago Charlie
was conspicuous figure in the Idaho
legislature, and had the nerve to tell
the Republicans at some of their
state conventions just what was the
matter with them. He may not
have told them all that was the mat
ter with them, but before the days
when O. V. Allen looted the treas
ury; in the days preceding the time
when the taxes got to increasing by
leaps and bounds; in the days that
preceded the times when county Of
ficials were going wrong in so many
counties, and took or squandered
money that did not belong to them,
or disbursed it among friends for
which the constituency received
little in retrun; in the days when
men went out camping with check
book in their pockets and most of
the checks were written in saloons
or cashed in the saloon in the days
following the time when a big Re-
publican excursion loaded with dele
gates went out across Idaho and held
a convention where they celebrated
over their cups and nominated men

Charlie Moore. was an active figure
in politics. He had a something that
men call spine, and he became SO
ncensed at the way things were 60
ng that he used to seize suitable op- |
to stand up in their |
midst and tell them what they were
loing and what kind of seeds they
we're sowing and what the harvest
would be.
Then for few years Charlie drop
'ed out of state politics and witt
lessed the kind of a harvest that he
lad predicted. In this year, 1918,

candidate for lieutenant governor.
nd Charlie has talked like he might
o it.
We believe Mr.. Moore was the
uthor of the statement from which
ley carved the expression "The !
anana Belt" as. applied to the up
or Snake river valley, and especially
le country around st. Anthony. IL
