Great Gathering of Republicans of Sho-
shone County in Honor of
Abraham Lincoln

(Which has done more for humanity
than any other political organization
ever formed The whole world is now
facing serious conditions not only
must we protect our industries, insti-
tutions and labor from cheap foreign
competition and cheap labor but the
republican party must stand guard
over the constitution and rights of
the people, The |. W. w. If success
full in its aims, would be as arbitrary
and cruel as the Hun. Please ex-
press my thanks and appreciation to
the republicans of Shoshone county
for the magnificent support given my
candidacy in the late campaign Some
one had to make the fight for Idaho,
and | assure you that | would rather
treme radicalism and lost than not
to have made the fight and been
elected"
From John p. Gray.

you tonight. Never has the need for
republican leadership been greater
than today. 1t is the party which
may be counted on to stand uncom-
promisngly for the perpetuation of
our constitutional guarantees. Lin
coin saved the country from dissolu
tion; Roosevelt awakened its con-
science and arrested the growth of
power in the hands of the few The
duty now before us is to combat and
defeat the elements of disorder that
would destroy our government. The
republican party can be counted on to
meet the emergency. Please convey
my felicitations to your associates"
