^ HON. FRANK R. GOODING,
|('andhint e for Governor on the Republican Stute Ticket.
Mr. GoCxhn^ is campaigning the State and is making a
winning impression everywhere he goes. He is meeting
icvery issue which the Democrats have declared he would
evade
Mr. Gooding will be the next Governor of Idalu
of ours. There is not a country in !
the world that gives to its citizens, j
to tbe masses of tbe people, the 1
of the greatest party of the greatest
nation in America. Our country :
is great because of this responsibil
itv and we are destined to become

this responsibility. In former
years only a small per cent, of the
takes a pride in wtiat influence he
can bring to bear through his par-,
ticular party for the benefit and
jieople attended the piriniaries.
When the right of suffrage was
first given only a few of the people
went to the polls to cast their
votes: todav at least fitty pier cent,
of the people attend the primaries
to select the delegates. It gives
each man a personal interest in the
affairs of the government, and he

betterment of bis country.
"Look your country • over today
and see what the difference is be
tween tbe conditions which exist
now and those which existed at
the close of the last Democratic
administration. In lK9ti. at thé
close of the last Democratic admin
istration there was depositied in
the various banks of our own state,
j $19;O0O,OOO, I believe. Fight
! years have passed—eight years of
j Republican administration - eight
j years of Republican prosperity,
and toda >' we have *1*78,000,000
deposited in the savings banks of
the state of Idaho—400 per cent,
and over, of our increase in the
j deposits in the state of Idaho alone.
H >' ou will take the savings banks
! a11 over the countr y> you will find
that everywhere deposits have m
creased { > om 50 pe ' cem to 100<
and several hundred per cent, in
1 every state in this great nation,
| At that time the country was over
1 run with idle men : men out of
select'work and seeking employment;
j today men are working, and work
| ing at better wages than have ever
before been paid to the laboring
man or the mechanic, and I take
this from Gomper's reports : I
find that there are from 20 to 30
per cent, more men employed than
were employed during Mr. Cleve
land's administration, and that
they are employed at wages which
are an increase of 25 per cent, over
I the wages paid during Mr. Cleve
land's administration. Go to the
farmers of this country and what
are the conditions to be found?

j nient lias stood for the last half

zens of the civilized nations of the
world and the principles which
will endure until the end of time.
We are not going to run any
bluff to make issues in order to
catch votes ; we do not change our
of
I name in order to catch the vote
; the unwary. We invite an mvesti
I getion of our principles, our leaders
i and our record and we bave
no fare
of the result.
For these and similar reasons,
we are before you asking you to
support us and I want you to in
quire which has the better right to
claim y° u attention ' your support
and you suffrage, the Republican
party or our Democratic friends.
The Republican party is a party
of principles established for half a
century and more. It is founded
upon principles of truth and of
good government; principles which
have led us oil to victory in the
past and it is upon our past record
and our present platform that we
come before you askiug for the con
tinuation cf the Republican party
in power during the next four
years.
One of the principles which has
been supported and maintained by
the Republican party which has
been a great factor in bringing
about our present age of prosperity
is our protective tariff system. We
would not be in our present state of
prosperity today if it were not for
the fact that our schedule of tariffs
has so equalized prices and kept up
the wages of the laboring man.
Our Democratic friends say that be
cause of the tariff prices on goods
they are high. They are bound to be
so long as our manufacturers pay the
wages they do for their labor. In
no country in the world does the
laborer receive the same compen
sation for his work as do the Amer
icans, and under the protection of
our tariff system, American manu
facturers are enabled to pay the
present high wages for their labor
and still compete with the cheap
labor of foreign countries^ If we
were content to have our women
working from ten to twelve hours a
day, if we were satisfied to have
our children wearing their young
lives away in factories and manu
facturing establishments, we would
not care for a protective tariff, for
we would then be in a position
compete with the low wages paid in
foreign countries and be able to
put out our manufactured articles
at a figure which would not exceed
the cost of foreign manufactures,
But the Republican party has en
acted laws to protect our women
and our children. We need our
women in the homes; we want our
children to be educated in our
schools ; we want to preserve the
ideal American home; to educate
our children so that they may
able to assume and bear tbe respon
sibilities of our government; we
want to preserve and protect the
best of American brain and brawn
and to train and peifeet them for
I the responsibilities which every
I American citizen feels for the wel
! fare of his country.
To bring the application a little
nearer home, let us look at the
sheep industry. During Mr. Cleve
land's administration sheep had
gone down in value until they were
worth from $1.25 to $2.25 per head
and I heard of one bunch selling
as low as 75 cents a head. And
what was wool worth? During
that time wool was down as low as
5 cents per pound and from that to
I«# cents and 7 cents a pound,
and
What lias it been worth since?
Under the protective tariff as rees
tablishd by the Republican party,
wool has been worth from 10 to 20
cts. a pound,and I understand that
at present it is worth from 14 cts.,
to H 1 j per pound. What are your
slieep worth today? From $3.50to
head or an average of

a combination of capital which
might prove too formidable and too
strong, we have placed upon our
I statute books, laws restraining and
making unlawful, any combination
of capital which has for its object
the restraint of trade, or the sup
pression of competition, and it has
fallen to the fearless Roosevelt to
invoke the aid of these laws to pro
tect the interests of his citizens.
With a fearlessness born of honest
conviction and prompted by his
love for his country and his alle
giance to the trust which the people
have given him, he has assaulted
and broken up some of the greatest
and what might have been the
most dangerous menaces to our
much prized liberty. Perhaps the
most important instance of this was
what is known as the Northern
Securities case, which was a move
ment for a consolidation of all the
systems of railroads running into the
northwest. By such a combina
tion, the systems would all have
been undergone management and,
without competition, the fixing of
freight and passenger rates would
have been purely optional. But by
the timely interference of President
Roosevelt the plan was thwarted
and the interests of the west pro
tected by a man who knows of our
conditions and our needs. * * *
In conclusion Mr. French said :
"I want to thank you for my
election of two years ago. It was
the proudest moment of my life
when,at the convention at Moscow,
your delegates nominated me for
candidate for the second term. 1
want to thank you for your good
will and to say that I shall always
try to prove myself worthy of it.
Two years ago I told you that if
elected I would do my duty, and
God helping me 1 have tried to do
that."
