l. w. w. forces have for years been
trying to poison the laboring men
against me. l want to assure the la
boring men of this state that wher-
ever the fortunes of life carry me, in
the future as in the past l shall al
ways be their friend. For fourteen
years of my early life l worked for
days pay and know and understand
that if this government is to prosper
the laboring mans interests must be
considered and. he must be given Il
square deal. What we want in this
country and must have is square
deal all around and that is what |
have always fought for, as my record
shows.
Fight Is Still On.
IF anyone thinks this fight is over
because election is past they have
made mistake. / promised the peo-
pie in this campaign that | should
continue my fight against anarchy,
treason and rebellion until the end.
Many new people have come to the
state since l had the honor of serving
Idaho as chief executive and | am
glad to have them know something
through me of the assassination of
Ex-Governor Steunenberg and the
blot left upon the fair name of Idaho
10y the acquittal of Haywood and Pet
tibone of the greatest crime ever
committed on American SOIL
Il had but one thought in this fight
and that was to educate the people as
far as possible to the danger of such
men as Townley and LeSueur and
those associated with them, who it is
proven conclusiyely by court records,
were in sympathy with Bill Haywood
and the !. w. w. organization-the
greatest criminals this country has
ever produced.
Pleased With Republican Success.
1T Is this dangerous element that
the good citizenship must fight
against at all times and l accept my
defeat with the knowledge that for
the time at least have saved Idaho
from the greatest disgrace that can
come to any commonwealth--the sue
cess OF Townley, LeSueur and Nc
Kaig.
1t Is gratifying to me to know that
the state ticket is elected by an over
majority and that both the
house and senate will be safely re-
publican and now the only question is
what the majority will be.
Il have confidence in Mr.. Davis and
those, elected with him on the state
ticket / am satisfied that the people
can look forward to a clean, vigorous
administration that will mean much

DUTY THAT CONFRONTS NEW
COUNTY OFFICIALS.

The result of the election in Sho-
shone county has a deeper significance
than mere victory for the republican
party. a fact that probably every sue
cessful republican candidate fully
realizes and can be depended upon to
conduct his office accordingly. 1t
means that the people of Shoshone
county have rebelled against one-man
domination in county affairs, and that
they desire all the people to be fully
represented on the board of county
commissioners in accordance with the
American spirit and the law which
requires the county to be divided into
three districts with resident COM
missioner to represent each. 1t Is the
intention of the law that all parts of
the county shall receive Just share
OF attention in the matter of public
improvements, and particularly roads
and bridges. That there has not been
fair distribution in this respect dur
ing the past few years has long been
matter of common comment, and is
reflected in great measure by the
vote. Another feature respecting the
roads that undoubtedly influenced
many voters is the personal pique or
prejudice, that prevented the commits
sioners from changing the road by
way of Lookout pass. There is no
doubt about the desire of the taxpay :
ers to have the new road and the alb
solute necessity for 1t, and their fail
ure to build 1t or to even give consid =
GRAFTON to II may be credited with
costing the retiring board good
many votes. The large expenditure
without consultation with the taxpay :
ers for the construction of home for
INDECENT and an isolation hospital ac-
counts for many more votes for the
republican ticket.
Another effective charge against the
present democratic county government
was the failure to enforce the prohi-
bition law. The amount of booze
coming into the county from Montana
had become little short of a scandal,
and the vote of the county shows that
the people so regarded it.
1t Is to remedy these conditions that
the republican candidates were elected,
and the Miner is confident that the
new administration will fulfill every
expectation In these respects. The
attitude Of the people of Shoshone
county is quite different from what it
was in the old days of open saloon re-
gime. 1t matters not what public sem
timent was before, there is no doubt
1t now stands for strict law enforce
ment, and that means all laws as ap-
piled to all citizens. The conscientious
officer has no option. He Is sworn to
support the constitution and the laws
of the state and he can do no less IL
he is faithful to his trust. The Miner
has every confidence that the republic
can administration, which will take
over the county government after the
first of the year, will meet the highest
expectations of the people. will per-
form their duties with fairness to the
people of all sections of the county
and with absolute fearlessness and

PROMOTE YOUR OWN MINING
PROPERTIES.

Every mining district is infested
more or less with pretentious men who
pose as promoters of mining property
and who are strong in their represen-
tations that they have monied men
sary funds to place the properly on a
productive basis. Owners of undevel-
oped mining property are often too
easily impressed by this class, and
unfortunately are disposed to under
rate their own capacity to raise the
money As a result they are often
imposed upon either by letting too
much of their property go to the pro-
moter or by standing a heavy bill Of
expense for the pretended promotion
and getting nothing in return. On
this subject the Denver Mining Rec
ord has the following timely COM
ment:
Recently there has been rush
Of mine operators Denverward
seeking the funds necessary to
open a mine in Arizona, in Ore
gon or in some one of the thous-
ands of wonderful mining districts
of the Rocky Mountain country.
Frequently these -intentioned
operators fail to realize the hard
work necessary to raise the funds
required. Sometimes they seem to
think they are doing the promoter
favor by allowing him to con-
slider the financing of their pros
pective mine. They also fail to
realize that for every promoter
who can really finance a company
there are thousands of prospects
awaiting his effort. OF course,
there are any number of near
promoters who say they can sue
cessfully finance an enterprise
hut what they are after usually Is
to get the mining man to furnish
the preliminary advertising and
promotion fund. Then there is
the mining man with
questionable prospect who says he
knows nothing about raising funds
and cares less--that he Is willing
to leave the raising of the devel-
opment funds to promoter He

While II Is possible that the official
count may disclose errors that will
change and show that Gooding is the
winner over Nugent, 1t Is not regard
ed likely and this opinion is shared
by Mr.. Gooding himself. In a letter
to the Miner Mr.. Gooding expressed
his warm appreciation of the splendid
support given him by the people OF
ShOshone county and of north Idaho
generally, and adds: while / should

of Idaho, Mr.. Gooding reviews the
fight he made against the nonpartisan
league and views with satisfaction
the result which placed the state in
control of republicans and frees 1t
from the disloyal element that threat
ened it. The statement follows:
