Il. B. McCAULEY OF ROUTE One
ROASTS THE REPUBLICAN EDITOR
Is Nonpartisan and Proud of It. Displays the
Marks Of Radical but Says He Is not One
lsnot Well Informed but Is Receiving More
Information Than He Can Use.

i The Idaho Republican has hat
hundreds of assurances that it wa,
doing a great, deal of good for thu
farmers, and for all classes by deal
ing fairly with all, and by going on,
and studying the problems Of The
farmers In particular, and givins
publicity to It in such q way that 4
brought substantial benefits. This
has been a subject of almost univer.
sal remark by all classes of people
who have read the paper for the past
several years, and yet when we criti-
Ecise what farmers are doing as we
criticise others when we think they
are making mistakes, some of the
radical fellows condemn everything
we have done, forget even their own
utterances of how much good we
have done the farmers, and write
letters like the following. much to
the amusement of their neighbors,
who usually remember things the
same men have said that are quite
the contrary to what is said when
writing in anger:
Black Foot, Idaho.

Sounds Like a Radical
This writer shows his bias and UNI
or his lack of infor-
nation by stating that Roosevelt and
Gooding have never done anything
to aid the farmer. Such a statement
would not be worth replying to If it
were not SO untrue and so serious
that a man claiming to be for the
good old U. s. A." should have the
audacity to speak SO. He is I'M
1oubtedly only repeating what some
organizer has said to him or in his
presence and not speaking his own
original observations.

Gooding has done so much for the
common people and has always been
10 ready to take up any fight for
lighting wrongs wherever he found
hem, a person has only to look into
lis record anywhere to find proof of
t. Just recently he made drive to
,et more cars for Idaho farmers and
tockmen, and did it by pouring tele-
rams into Washington to compel
ttention to conditions among the
hippers of wheat, potatoes and
heep, and he got more cars to NOV !
1g into Idaho.
