Brady Could See 1t Coming.


Mr. Brady is an astute politician. He
knows when he has been beaten. So he
yielded gracefully, though he protracted
the argument to a length sufficient TO
save his face" After the harmony pro-
gram had been practically agreed upon
and after a Brady man or two had been
placed upon the slate, Senator Hepburn
vas called into the conference. The SEN
atOr, according to reliable reports, was
all for harmony. He urged the conference
to agree on something that would pre- ~r
an airing of grievances, old and new. e q.
though both sides might be called upon TO
make nominations that might seem TO
them at the time unreasonable. After Sen
atOr Heyburn retired formal vote was
taken. with the result that the harmony
prOgrOm became an accomplished fact as
far as the harmonyists could make it so.

Borah Had 124 Delegates.

The situation really is one of the most
interesting that has ever developed i'm
Idaho politics. The Borah men have 124
delegates instructed to vote for his en-
dorsement. One hundred and fifty are
necessary to control the convention, which
will have 299 member. So Mr.. Borah is
tWenty-siX votes short. He and Mr..
Hagenbarth both declare that in reality
they have 176 votes. or 20 more than
enough. Whether or not this claim is well
founded only the rollcali can determine
The Borah claims are q votes from Ada
county, 20 from Bingham. from Blaine,
8 from Boise, IS from Canyon, from

From a source close to Chairman Brady
head of the machine and leader of the
opposition to BoTah, ii was learned that
the Brady forces have by no means given
up the fight. They say that Borah by no
means has the battle won, and that when
the roll is called some surprises will be
developed. Mr.. Borah, it is asserted, will
not manifest the strength he claims. or
anything like it. Mr.. Brady himself said

Depended on Hepburn.

In this connection ii may be said that
everything depends on the attitude of
Senator Hepburn. There is a very gen.
eral belief that Borah has entered into
some sort of agreement that gives him the
delegates votes from the Mormon counties.
Certainly those delegates are for him. al
most TO a man. 1t is thought that Sen
ator Hepburn, if he desires to do so. can
make serious inroads in this strength.
If Hepburn keeps his hands off ii looks
to an impartial observer as if Borah
had won his fight.
Interest in the governorship and con-
gressional nomination fights has been sub
ordinated to the senatorial contention.
Governor Gooding is on the ground, and
has been for a day or two. He and his
supporters declare the governor will be
nominated on the first ballot 10 succeed
himself, and that there is a possibility of
a nomination by reclamation The latter
contingency. il is fair to state, is by no
means a remote possibility.
Gooding's Good Prospects.
There is not a great deal of organized
opposition to Gooding. although there is
q strong undercurrent against him. The
statement is freely made that the nomi-
nation of Gooding depends on the outcome

BEFORE HARMONY MEETING.
Review of the Situation as it APP
peared in the Morning.
Especial to he Herald.)

PocatellO, July 31.-Idaho Republicans
apparently believe in coming early to their
state conventions and in staying late.
PocatellO is today full of them and sew
era1 big county delegations are due dur
ing the night Mr.. BOrah has been on the
ground with Frank ]. Hagenbarth and
others of his lieutenants for several days.
Among the early arrivals this morning
was Senator Hepburn. Mr.. Hepburn is
looking much better than his friends had
any right TO expect him to look, in view
of his long and serious illness during the
winter and spring. He says that, except
for weakness, that is gradually disappear
ing. he is feeling first rate.
The arrival of Senator Hepburn has
caused no end of gossip. 1t is a well
known fact that he is opposed to nomina-
tons of senatorial candidates in state
conventions and the friends of Mr.. BOrah
are rather uneasy on account of Senator
Heyburn's presence. They fear that he is
here to join in combination with State
Chairman Brady and other anti-Borah
men to upset the BOrah program. Sen
ator Hepburn himself declared today that
there was nothing in the report.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-08-01

of the senatorial question. The plan is.
to settle the senatorship nomination first.
If Borah wins, 1t will mean the practical
~ unanimous nomination of Gooding. III
Borah oses, and his failure can be
charged to Gooding or any of the govern
or's friends Gooding will experience some
rather hard shedding. This, too. in face
of the fact that it will be hard for the
anti-Gooding men to center on any candi-
date Former Congressman Edgar Wilson
has. been mentioned as a possibility, and
so has Dr. France of Wallace. Neither
has developed much strength.
French will be renominated for congress
according to all indications. practically
without opposition. The hoy wonder" Is
said to have a. large majority of the dele
gates T. r. Hamer of Fremont will get
some complimentary votes. among them
the delegates from his home county, and
few complimentary votes may be cast
for one or two other candpidates. But
French has the nomination nailed down
tight.
Beatty's Rod Was Up.
Judge j. H Beatty of the United States
district court is here with a senatorial
lightning rod up, but there is as much
President Roosevelt to enter the race for
the governorship. However. Judge Beatty
is mingling cheerily with the delegates
and indulging himself In some strong,
though il-founded, hopes. Judge Beatty
is decidedly not a factor in the situation.
This morning the delegation from north
ern Idaho, numbering eghty-nine votes,
held caucus in one of the Mormon meet
ing houses. The caucus was chaos OF
conversation. Nobody seemed to know
what was wanted, so a committee was APP
pointed to see Chairman Brady and Other
anti-Borah people TO find out few things,
after which an adjournment until o'clock
was taken.
