toms Capital. III
Hon. j. H. Brady of Pocatello,
Idaho, chairman of the republic
can state central committee, and
who has been prominently men
toned as candidate for the Unit
ed States senate to succeed Sena-
tor Dubois, came over for few
hours last week from New York
where he has large business deals
pending, to visit Senator Hepburn,
and to discuss with the national
congressional committee the APP
preaching campaign in Idaho. In
speaking of the political outlook in
Idaho this fall Mr.. Brady said:
"The party is in splendid shape
and will go into the campaign
thoroughly united. The organi-
cation was never more complete
and active. The work Of Senator
Hepburn and Congressman French
has given general satisfaction as
was indicated by the action of the
republican state central commit
tee, who met in Boise a few
months ago. There is every pro
liability that the republicans will
carry the state as they did two
years ago by majority of about
30, 900.
"The state was never more
prosperous than at present and is
rapidly increasing in wealth and
population. The work on the
great irrigation projects is rapidly
advancing and the people are
focking into these irrigated dis
ltricts from the other states in
large numbers"
How about your candidacy for
the senate, Mr.. Brady was asked.
"That is matter for the legisla-
ture to settle when it meets next
January. We should first get to-
gether and elect a republican
Legislature and then we will have
plenty of time to take up the ques-
ton of the election of senator"
| Senator Hepburn is receiving
many congratulatory letters and
kilograms from his friends on his
progress toward recovery as we'll
as resolutions from various organi-
cations, similar to the following.
| This is source of much pleasure
to him and indicates the esteem in
which he is held in the state:
| Resolution of the Kootenai
County Republican Committee in
meeting assembled at Rathdrum,
| May 90, 1906. Resolved that we
express hearty sympathy with our
distinguished member of the Sen
ate, Honorable w. B. Hepburn in
his recent illness, and that it is
now with the greatest satisfaction
we learn of his returning health,
strength and we trust the conva-
lescence upon which he has en-
tered may speedily restore the
physical condition essential to his
personal comfort, and to resump-
ton of those useful, public and
patriotic efforts in the Senate al.
ways exercised in behalf of this
| State and the nation; Resolved
that copy of these resolutions be
transmitted to Senator Hepburn
| by the secretary OF the Committee,
and that the chairman send him a
telegram of coincidence.
| A short time ago Congressman
French, who is constantly in at
tendance at the sessions of the
House, discovered carefully
worded and innocent looking sec
ton OF bill for opening agricul-
tural lands in forest reserves.
French was in favor of the general
provisions Of the bill, but did not
want to see the mining laws abro-
gated. The bill was prepared at
the instance of the forestry bureau
and was piece of ingenious work.
