The' course of our representative in Con-gresi Con-gresi meet, with our earnest approval and we indorse and full appreciate the able and continued efforts made in behalf of the best interests of the State of Idaho by Senator . W. B. Hevlmm ard Congressman Burton L. - 'French. We heartily indorse and commend the administration of the affairs of State by Gov. Krank R. Gooding, as being able, businesslike, busi-nesslike, and for the best interests of our beloved commonwealth. Under hia vigorous and Clean administration every issue has been met with ability and firmness. . . We believe in the enforcement of law and ' the maintenance of order and -we declare it the purpose of the Republican party to sus- ' tain these vital principles of government regardless re-gardless of costor results. The Republican party of Idaho stands for " the principle of protection along the well-established well-established lines that have consistently marked the policy of the National Republican party sine it organisation. It is opposed ' to any. attack directed against this great principle prin-ciple in the guise of tariff reform, which term is so elastic to be subject to any construction between the limits of free trad . "and the revision of single schedule. Stands for Protection. We are opposed to ny tariff concession or reciprocity that will reduce th protection afforded af-forded raw material and the wage-earners "who convert the raw material into finished product. We believe in the broad principle ' 'of protection wide enough in ita scope to'in- cluae the personal and business interest of the Americsn citisen in every walk of life. Idaho is essentially a producer of raw . . material from its mines. its forests, it " ranges, its cultivated fields, which adds millions mil-lions of dollar in valu of property to the " wealth of the country.
