MIR. GOODING HAS RENDERED
VALUABLE PUBLIC SERVICE

Vote for Frank r. Gooding for
United States Senator if you admire
a man who is willing to fight for
what he thinks is an injustice to our
people. He has proven the leaders
of the nonpartisan league to be SOC
ialists and l. " W's 1t should also
be remembered that Idaho is one of
the few states in the northwest in
which Townley and his agents are al
lowed to spread their propaganda.
Mr.. Gooding plainly states that he
has never intimated in word or deed
chat the farmers of Idaho were any
thing but thoroughly loyal and pat
riotic and the effort to spread such
an impression is a slick campaign
dodge of McKaig and Scholtz. The
attack is on the leaders, and not on
the local people or the local candi-
dates for league offices.
