Boise, Ida, Sept 11-Now 'that
the excitement OF convention week
has subsidized and the delegates have
returned to their respective locaii-
ties, an almost universal spirit of
satisfaction and enthusiasm for the
state ticket adopted by the Republi-
cans at Boise prevails smolderine
tre of contentment seems to All the
minds Of the party members which
VIII find expression when the cam
paign fans 1t into fame within the
next two months.
Those candidates whose nominal
tlons were assured before the con-
vention We're in the fullest sense the
selections OF the individual party
members throughout the state. and
We're not, as is sometimes the case
foisted on them by few bosses. For
a long time the public has given
them careful cons Iteration and the
action of the delegates was merely
the voicing of its conclusions
The expectation of Senator Hev-
burns denomination was Justified by
his record of invaluable service to
the state and his demonstration of
capabilities as statesman of the
highest type.
An affirmation Of as pronounced a
nature was the nomination by ac-
clamat'on of James II. Brady for
governor. His advancement of the
interests Of the state have ben OF
different character but not less eff

B. F.. O'Neffl Brady's successor as
state chairman, fits logically into the
position. He has for many years
been a prominent figure in the poll

personality and large acquaintance.
IL nothing more, would commend
him, but, more than this. he is a
captain worthy OF his charge in
which the Republican party can feel
unreserved confidence.

selves. Brady and others who might
have welded influence kept their
hands of in strict pursuance of q
policy which had ben previously de-
tcrmined upon. There was no slate
except that made by the delegates
and their preference of Hamer to
French was not in the light of a re

Hamer has proven himself soldier
