Idaho is more fortunate in retaining its ex-governors. We still have with us, hale, hearty and full of life and vigor, W. J.

Gooding, who served two terms as governor, is still a vigorous man and is the leading candidate for United States senator, and we also have Moses Alexander, our last governor, still in the prime of life.
