BRADY HERE
TOMORROW
Will Speak From Platform Of
westbound Passenger
COL. HAMER WILL SPEAK SATUR.
DAY NIGHT AT RINK, :
Local Candidates Put In Strenuous
Week and Create Great Enthusiasm
Among the Ranchers.

Hon. James H. Brady, the Republi-
can candidate for governor, will not
be able to make long address in this
city as he has SO many dates to fill
that he finds 1t impossible to stop here.
He will go through Twin Falls Friday
on the passenger train where he has
dates for Filler at three o'clock and at
Buhl in the evening.
The Republican committee have ar
ranged to meet the next governor of
Idaho at the depot on the arrival of
the train with the band and all the
Republican boosters that can be got
ten togather. Mr.. Brady will make a
twenty minute speech from the rear
platform of the train.
Hon. Thomas R. Hamer, Republican
candidate for congress, will speak in
the rink Saturday evening, October 81,
at $3.50 o'clock on the political issues
of the day. Col. Hamer is one of
Idaho's best orators and no doubt will
deliver one of the best speeches of the
campaign in this city. The meeting
will be enlivened by music by the
band and the Twin Falls Glee club
will sing the popular campaign songs
of the day. Ladies are especially in
vited to come and hear the political
questions discussed from Republi-
can viewpoint.
The Republican county candidates
are still on their swing around the cir
Gle speaking. They spoke last night at
Hansen to crowded house on issues
of the campaign. The following candi-
dates were present: w. P. Guthrie
candidate for county attorney; ]. w
Shields, candidate for probate Judge
and A. D. McKinlay, candidate for rep
resentative. Mr.. McKinlay in his re-
| marks said that he stood upon every
plank in the Republican platform, in
cluding the local option plank, re-
gardless to his personal feelings In
the matter. The meeting was one OF
the most enthusiastic that has beer
| held since the candidates started out
! Attorney e. L. Ashton spoke briefly
on the national issues and made 8
great hit.

Local Option by Democrat,
Merely a Blind
STRAIGHT TIP FROM THE LIQUOR
INTERESTS.
O.. H. Barber, Former Editor Of the
Times; Exposes Letter from the
y Brewers, and Draws His Own Con.
clusiOns.

The following article is part Of an
address made by o. H. Barber, former
ly editor of this paper, in speech
made at Malad Mr.. Barber has since
his removal to American Falls been
strong supporter of the temperance
movement, and his many friends here
will be pretty sure to read his opinion,
which proceeds the letter from Earl
Saunder. The letter was read by Mr..
Barber during his address:
Here is another point: The Demo-
cratic state platform promises temper
ance people nothing. The local leg1s-
lative candidate Is free to promise
anything, and if he violates his prom
Use the party can not be held RESPONSE
BILE. Two years hence such candi-
date will not me the nominee and can
not be personally disciplined. 1t Is
safer to hold q party responsible than
an individual, because there is way
of visiting Judgment upon party that
does not exist in the case of an indiv-
idual member of party who betrays
his trust.
'The following letter not only shows
that the liquor dealers are organized,
but establishes the connection of Earl
Sanders with the organization, and the
further fact that II is the local option
plank of the Republican partys plat
form that they fear. The writer has
received number of letters which es-
tablish the fact that Earl Sanders, sec
retary of the Brewers association,
and 'Junius,' the Democratic newspa-
per correspondent, are one and the
same person. This establishes per-
feet chain of evidence from the brew
- w. md
through the Democratic party to the
temperance people who will be solicit
ed to vote for Democratic nominees
who make certain pledges"
Sanders letter to the liquor leaders
is as follows:
Boise, Idaho, Sept II, 1908.
Dear Sir:
You have no doubt followed the To-
cal option wave which now threatens
the western part of the United States
and have noticed that the Republican
party, at its recent convention In
Boise, adopted a plank for local op.
ton by counties, which in Idaho is the
quickest and surest way to get loca
option. We trust that you realize the
danger to our interests. The brewers
of the state have already organized
and an organization of the wholesale
and retail liquor dealers will at once
be commenced. We solicit your hearty
cooperation and support.
The writer is sufficiently in toucf
with the conditions in Idaho to know
that local option bill can be defeated
providing we all get together and worl
in harmony. We must organize. WI
must conduct a campaign of educa
ton, we must see that our interests
are properly looked after and our cas-
properly presented to the legislature
To do this funds must be raised to pa.
the necessary and legitimate expenses
You will be called upon and trust tina
you will do all in your power to ait
us in the work.

your position in regard to local OPP

you declare in favor Of local option.
but the legislative ticket is not in
structed to vote for local option. Fur
thermore your platform does not OUT
line your position whether you are in
favor of county local option, precinct
local option, or state local option. If
you are expecting and asking the votes
of the good people of Twin Falls coun-
ty, we would ask you to define exactly
your position by return mail, whether
you are in favor of county local option,
precinct local option, or state local
option, and give us positive state
ment whether you will work and vote

The Circus in Now York in 1912.

following contribution: In 1919 my grandfather

necticut. came to New York clerk for a ner.
chant doing business at the south corner OF Front
and De Poyster streets. Some OF his spare hours
were. Of course, de, oted to seeing New York"
He kent a diary, which Is now In my possessup

Broadway and White strcet-whch corner 7 an,

Under late OF June 8. 1Sis, he writes

Warming to the Cowboy Mayor.

The Hon. jim DAHLMlN, Mayor of
Omaha, will invade the East this fall in
behalf of Colonel WILLIAM JENNINGS
BRYAN. Itis Mayor DAHLMAN's plan "to
make the Fasteners sit up and take
notice" and:
"Mr. DAgLMAN will be accompanied by his quar-
tet OF singers. He also will take with him the
famous rope with which he noosed Mr.. BRYAN
when tho commoner landed In America from hIs
trip abroad. He will be dressed after the fashion
OF the range rder and he will be prepared to brand
all the political mavericks in the Big States on the
Atlantic coast"
A free Wild west show will attract large
and enthusiastic audiences on the Allan
tic coast, but the actors engaged in it
should be warned of one danger before
they begin their performances. At the
season In which they intend to descend
on the communities along the Atlantic
coast many rowing bands of dealers
in patent medicines, warranted razors,
handkerchiefs and pinchbeck jewelry are
to be found in these parts. They carry
theatrical performers who give alleged
lhublCoi ChVCi Vi
life On the plains, Indian customs, and
the Like. Familiar with these, ignorant
and stupid persons are quite likely to put
Mr.. DAHLMAN's campaigning outfit in
the same category and resent its failure
to offer for sale toothaohe cure or
hair restorer.
Unquestionably Mr.. DAHLMAN would
be hurt and chagrined to be mistaken
for peripatetic vender of quack reme-
dies. He must be careful to explain his
mission clearly to each audience.

State. Ilhardiy know how to advise you how TO

attention Of the railroad commission TO this. and.
while alta grcaz disadvantage, will try and what
can be done"
Everything went" at Samson. The
farmers were gathered together with
their families, the mammoth cymlin
was in evidence and fat shoats drug in
the market. So everybody trembled
when CoMERtold them they were In fear
of the army and navy, and no one saw
the inconsistency'when he asked In pierc-
ing tones where those branches Of the
service were while the people needed
defenders against the truculent and
menacing onslaughts of Judge JONES.
This same Judge JONES appears to have
done various dreadful things. First he
enjoined the State authorities against
interfering with railway rates until
after the final hearing of'the cases, and
then he evidently turned' his back while
the great trusts got together and
with due process Of law" held the peo-
pie tiled and proceeded to raise the rates
which have prevailed for many years"
But this is the very kind Of bawl that
BRYAN likes, and it Is in just such COM
munities as Samson that he will need
speakers of the calibre Of Conner. We
doubt seriously whether BRYAN or any
of his advisers and colaborers has ever
stated the case against the railroads and
the Federal Judiciary more lucidly and
comprehensively than Governor Conner
did. We cannot quote largely from his
address, but feel ourselves able to assert
after careful perusal that, despite its
vagueness and superficial inconsequence,
it's whole tendency was sinister and revo-
lutionary to degree that would have
walked to ecstasy every Populist and
agitator and anarchist within our ma
tional boundaries.

l Russian Jow Becomes Senior
Wrangier.

The remarkable capabilities Of the dew
ish race received the other day fresh
exemplification when SELIo BRoDETsKY,
a Russian Jew Of twenty, the son of a
poor emigrant from Odessa to East Lon
don, was bracketed with young Eng
lishman for the Senior Wranglership at
Cambridge, the highest academic distinc-
ton attainable at an English university.
This is justly recognized as remarka-
BILE performance when the fact Is borne
in mind that the recipient Of the honor
could not speak word Of English when
he landed at the age Of five, and from
the start has been handicapped by the
extreme indulgence Of his family. In a

the Jewish Free School in 1895, which
he left Ave years later with scholarship
which secured for him five years tuition
at the Cowper Street Central Foundation
School. In 1902 he was placed first In
all London for the London County Coun-
Gil intermediate Scholarship, although
he was the youngest student who at the
time presented himself for examination.
His success entitled him to, a five years
scholarship at CoNyper Street School,
and three years later lie passed the Cam
bridge Senior Local examination, obtain
ing prize of e10 and another scholarship
Of e4o annually for three years. In the
same year (oO5) he gained the Senior
Antony Death exhibition, tenable at one
of the two chief English universities for
three years, the exhibition being worth
eco a year for the purposes OF educa-
ton and G3O year for the expenses
of outfit. In August of the same year
he passed the Board OF Education Honors
Mathematics examination, winning the
bronze medal for the highest place in
the first division of the first class, besides
securing first class honors in physics at
! the intermediate examination for Bache-
lor OF Science and the first place in the
Senior examination for Cambridge Locals,
which carried prize of E12. Soon after
ward he entered Trinity College, Cam
bridge, holding at the time the Senior
Death exhibition already mentioned
(f9O), senior London County Council
scholarship of e4O and a mathematical
scholarship Of EGO, each tenable for three
years, the three collectively amounting
to e1oO year. How he profited by
his opportunities at Trinity, Cambridge,
is sufficiently attested by his attain
ment Of Senior Wranglership. We
take 1t that when all the conditions
and disabilities are considered this must
be recognized as one of the most notable
achievements ever credited to young
man in the field of science.
We shall follow with interest the future
career this Jewish Senior Wrangler.
Will he 60 into politics and strive to fol-
low in the footsteps of his coreligionist
BENJAMIN DIsRAELI, who never had any
such educational advantages2 Will he
enter the bar and emulate the profess
sional triumphs of FARRER HERsCHELL,
the son of Polish Jew, who, however,
was converted to Christianity and mar
ried the aughter of an Edinburgh
merchant? The religious tests then ap-
piled to undergraduates prevented FAR
RER HERsCHELL from matricula ion at
either Oxford or Cambridge, but he OBJ
tanned B. A. degree at London Uni
versity. After being called to the bar
he became successfully Queens Counsel,
Recorder of Carlisle, Solicitor-General,
and Lord High Chancellor, post which
he twice occupied.
Or will the first Israelite Senior Wran-
-.ler devote his remarkable talents for the
higher mathematics and for scientific
investigation to the field of astronomical
or physical research? Whatever the
choice that he shall make, we may be
tolerably certain that SELIG BRoDETsKY
will be heard from again.

A Tar Heel Visits Town.

Colonel F. A. OLDs Of Raleigh, N. c.,
took vacation in May and visited New
York. He has written for the Charlotte
Daily Observer few of his impressions
of the community. These were not en-
tirely complimentary. He says: ;
"A Raleigh man who goes to New York for pleas
ure is content to stay there for little time, pro.
vided he Is on the but the aggregate selnshness
and indifference Of one of the most careless com
munities on this earth soon pals upon him and he
longs for his little city. where people have hearts
and where there Is some touch with nature"
The superficial carelessness and selfish
ness of New Workers have been utilized
by Mr.. o. HENRY in one Of his witty
and keen studies OF the town. In this
the hero, lamenting the heartlessness of
the crowds that pass him, unheeding his
loneliness and timidity, falls a victim
TO a street accident. Instantly the
generous spirit of helpfulness that lies
beneath the callous veneer of the hurry
ing multitude asserts itself. But Colonel
OLDs was fortunate enough to escape
accidents, and therefore did not tap the
springs Of sympathy that lie close to
the surface. He did notice, however,
that New York does not seem to appre-
ciate visitors. The streets are never
complete. Vaster and vaster are the
schemes for improvement. The streets
are badly numbered, it Is difficult to see
the names, and these are not properly
shown on the cars and he was not
taken in by the theatrical performances
concocted by enterprising owners of sight
seeing motor stages, vino arrange to
have incipient riots in some Of the foreign
quarters Of the city for the edifcation
Of the 'Rubes' who are paying for the
