FOR SECOND TERM
Governor Davis Decides to
Run Again.

BoIse, Idaho, Feb. .o2.--Govern or
n W. Davis, In statement to the
nublIc and message tn The republl
cans Of Idaho. Saturday announced
his candidacy for re election.
He said: "In making the statement
that expect again to be candidate
for governor OF Idaho, it is with
absolutely no intention OF opening up
AZ this time a campaign for the nom
nation. Itis done rather for the
purpose OF informing MY friends 10
the political party with which
tfi late that the wishes Of many OF
them are being acceded to in this
action
six months will ensue before the
conventions which will nominate the
candidates for state office and 10 that
time matters of the most supreme
importance to Idaho and her people
will be before US. In these / hope to
take part and expect to give my
energies TO them and not to a cam
paigu for office. Naturally 1t will
give me but little time to accord to
political matters.
"If members of the republican
party in their state convention select
me / will stand squarely upon the
administration record. / have had
an opportunity to know without
question that the business of the
state has been conducted carefully
aud with high degree Of efficiency
BY those placed in charge. Let me
make the positive statement that our
cdblnet form Of government is a
living, yrile success Let me make
the PREDICTION that Idaho will never
change back to the worn out, out of
date system OF the past. Our new
ideas of state government may
improve and may enlarge but the
principle of centralized responsibility
will remain"
1t Is reported by Milo M. Thompson
In the Statesman that much pressure
was required to get Governor Davis
To abandon his idea of running for U.
5. senator. Three factors are said to
have controlled his flnal decision:
Political self preservation; party
loyalty; personal pride. TO oppose
Gooding for senator might have led
70 The elimination of both and the
nomination Of third candidate on
wnom the party could unite. Party
loyalty also dictated that any step
that might split the party must not
De taken He was urged that the
p'r'y looks to him, not to some one
eiSe' to perfect his system of govern
ment The governor is believed to be
proud OF bis cabinet system and loath
10 abandon it so as to leave 1t open
'oattack without his being on the
ground to defend it.
