Why Not Speak Plainly.

The Troy News, (Rep.) has this to say of Mr.
Frenchs organ in Moscow:
The Moscow Post says the Troy News has in
suited it. This is the way friend Fields
the questions put to it by the News. You can't
ton republican perhdy, d1Shonor and platform
pudat1on to Brady1te nowadays without insulting
him. The News realizes that it is really humiating,
and rather embarrassing to Editor Fields to have to
stand up and make excuses and apologize and
plain why the republican party lied to the people
brazeny during the last legislature
By the way the Troy News is too bright not to
know that Mr. Brady has neither the capacity money
or magnetism to attract all the republican delegates
to him.
The News knows full we'll who and what is
sponsible for Brady and for the sad plight of the
republican party in Idaho. No one knows better.
Why hasn't the News the candor and honesty to ad-
NIT the plain facts, and attack the cause, and not
one, and one only of its products? If it not
Brady it would be some other of just the brand.
The power which produces the effects which the
News complains of must be destroyed, if conditions
to be changed
In what respect does the present administration
differ from the one to be headed by Mr. Brady? The
same influence which elected and controls Governor
Gooding and the present administration, and which
dominated the last legislature has already decreed
that Mr.. Brady shall be governor. There isn't any
in the republican party not one, so far as heard
from who has the nerve to openly object. The edi-
tor of the Troy News in the little clipping above
says: "The News realizes that it is really humilia-
ting and embarrassing to Editor Fields to have to
stand I'D and make excuses and apologize and
plain why the republican party lied to the people so
brazeny during the last legislature" Apparently it
is equally embarrassing to the News to explain why
the republican party lied brazen1y to the people
Apparently it is embarrassing to the News to ex-
plain how and by whom and why Mr.. Brady is being
nominated.
The republicans of the state not for Brady.
They do not want him nominated for governor.
Why is he being nominated? Enough counties have
already selected delegates for the Boise convention
four months in advance of it's assembly to nominate
Mr. Brady Where and what these counties?
The News should know, and if it does not know it
can easily find out by the most casual inquiry that
the republicans in these counties which have al
ready instructed for Mr.. Brady, not for him
and will not support him at the polls. The News TN
derstands that the republican party of the state is
helpless that the News is helpless Why is this so?
Mr. Brady surely has not the power to create nor
maintain such condition of affairs. If the News
doesn't approve of the condition why doesn't it attack
the responsible agency, instead of Mr. Brady, who
is simply one of the many benehcares and minor
adiuncts of this agency? Does not the News think
the time has about arrived for plain speaking the
part of the republicans of the state Unless there Is
some protest by the News and other leaders of the
republican party there will be such protest by the
republican that it will sweep the combination
out of power, which absolutely dominates the
party
1t will not be a protest against Brady, but against
the pernicous influence which makes Brady possible.
