Lieutenant Governor Charles G.
Moore, republican candidate for voy-
ernor, came TO Salmon for Monday
night, when he spoke To a fair sized
gathering at the opera house on the
matter OF reducing taxes. Mr.. Moore
said he would prefer TO talk down on
the moor and so he did for what he
fad 10 say, leaving the platform for
the other speaker of the evening, A.
II. Conner, an old stager at the b1si-

ernmen OF Idaho, The speaker thought.
lie said he is holding on to see what
can be done. IL elected he would do
the best he can,he said, as he bean,ed
with benevolence and charity. His
kindly appearance gave ofFense To no
one, IN fact as he reviewed the sad
record of the republican party In the
state Of Idaho during the past four
years one was stirred To svmpathy.
He said he was a plain man artuated
by desire to serve the peoDle ana
that his sole ambition was based in
the hope that his experience and his
election would give him the oppor-
tunlty to do things for the state.
The lack of definite plans and a
set program Of action was the out
standing feature of his address as
well as that of Mr.. Conner Ii is too

These subjects were enlarged upon
by the speaker without any effort 10
how how they could be brought about
