Doing 1t Gradually.

The Moscow Post recognizes force in politics
that has been long time at work without being
generally discovered But The Post is wise in its
calculation:
The people of the state of Idaho gradually
nominating a Republican ticket. The various
didates are being carefully sifted and already four
men stand out from all others bearing the stamp of
approval. These Hepburn, Brady, French
and Ailshie. Various candidates for the positions
which they hold have been tried out" and aban-
doned 1t is now the general impression over the
state that the above named officers will be renomi-
mated almost without opposition.
Accusing the people of indulging in the gradual
nominating process is not exactly fair, for all the
party at large does is to acquesce in helpless sort
of way, not caring to array itself against ticket
selected by the machine after it has been placed on
the ballot. This gradual nomination" is sort of
sullen consent that has very little to do with self
government Technically it is known as "fealty to
party" and it is a great help to the bosses of the
party.

encouraging in the interference of the Joe-Smith
faction of the Democratic party, expressing itself
in the following terms
The Capital News of Sunday trotted out two pos
sble candidates for governor upon the Democratic
platform, NJ Alexander a prominent merchant OF
Boise and John C. Rice of Caldwell a prominent at
torney in that city Both of the candidates are as
vet without a platform upon which to urge their
candidacy The anti Mormon plank which gained
the Democratic party many Republican votes in this
state stands poor chance of being inserted in the
PLATFORM and if such is the the candidates will
have poorer chance of getting even all of their own
party lined up, to say nothing of any Republicans
FITTING the patriots of the party against the four
cps" the Elk City Mining News says:
The game of politics with the Democrats in Idaho
has not been made the science that it is in the oppo
ston camp. You even find men among the Demo
Gratis of Idaho who do their thinking, IN this
late day and age of politics. There few poll
teal game cocks among the Democrats who know
that principles must be sacrificed in order to win
success-in politics. Others of the party, who are
patriots, want to fight the fight on principle and take
the dominating influence of the Mormon church out
of state affairs.

The Four "P'S".

In late issue of the Weiser American there
evidence that the paper with anti-Mormon name
is able to comprehend situation, if it exists
a county or two away. Commenting upon the tur-
bulent spirit of an inefficient minority that has made
its nest in Ada county, it philosophers;
At meeting of the Mormon Democratic Club at
Boise Monday evening, M. Alexander, one OF the
speakers and one of the most rabid members of the
club became very much heated during his discourse,
and inadvertently gave away what has been claimed
by many Democrats that that organization is IN
collision with the Mormons. The following extract
from Mr. Alexanders speech is rather significant:
Dubois has a good deal to say about the const1-
tuition and how it disfranchised good citizens of
the state but Democrats will fix all that with the
initiative and referendum if they get into power and
will give Dubois one thing less to talk about by
holding a constitutional convention and changing
some of the Objectionable features of the document
Five years ago John Henry Smith of Salt Lake,
was in Boise during the session of the legislature for
the purpose of agitating a movement to eliminate
the test oath from the Idaho constitution Mr..
Alexander let the cat out of the bag, and the peo
pie are now convinced that the so-called Ada Coun-
ty Democratic Club, controlled by the four CPS"
Pence Paine, Perky and Polygamy, has for its OBJ
ject the elimination of the test oath from the con-
stitution

press and Comment
Still UnrecOnciIed.

While the Republican papers of Idaho are nearly
unanimous in their endorsement of Mr. Bradys sug
gestion that he is the best for governor, the
Troy News remains firm in its belief that he is
about the worst and the Troy News is so good
Republican newspaper that it would rescue its
party from the blighting effects of machine subser-
viency. 1t said in a recent issue:
What does Brady stand for? The question is
narticu1arv pertinent because Mr. Brady, backed by
the Republican machine of his own making with
sufficient support to insure his nomination, has an
nounced that he will be the next Republican candl-
date for governor of Idaho-which means that ne
will be the party nominee Then, what does Mr.
Brady stand for? -,
We have read from top to bottom twice the full
text of Mr. Bradys announcement and note his as
seron that the prevailing custom is tor Candidates
to make some statement regarding intentions, but
fail to find an answer to the query: Where does
Brady stand2" Stand on what? On the vital cues
tons in Idaho politics at this time. The Republican
party in the last legislature, repudated "a per cent
of its PLATFORM pledged to the people. But Mr.
Brady fails say whether he approves or condemns
this record. Instead he contents himself with my
record as state chairman of the party during the
past four years. giving that as suhcent reason 1or
his nomination.
The Republican party of Idaho defeated railroad
commission BILL direct primary and ant1-pass bills,
and in the face of solemn pledge to enact equal
taxation legislation and other muc-needed measures,
stubborny refused. All, this was done openly
brazeny and deliberately by that particular faction
of the Republican party now demanding the nom-
nation of Mr. Brady. Brady as chairman and party
leader failed in the time of trial, to go on record
What he did was to use his influence to whip the
insurgents" into line in the of harmony.
There was no question to where Brady stood
then and little question where he stands now. he
was then allied with the forces that stood Tor repu
diaton, and he is still allied with the same gang
He was then the political representative of the Ore
gon Short Line railroad and is still the choice OF
that corporation for governor of this state
Mr. Brady will permit the party convention to
father the Statement regarding intentions and that
will enable him escape the structures that the Troy
newspaper is now lavishing on the organization he
represents The party is impersonal, fictitious
being and does not run for office and can support
itself against crusade of criticism If Mr.. Brady is
elected to the office which he aspires, he will want
to be elected again, according to the custom, and II
he has no other sins to carry than those OF his
party he will not have to defend himself for all will
be in the same boat.

Plenty of Water COn7in6.

Having listened to the pessmistc forecasts of the
ranchers of that section until he could stand it no
longer, John J. Grant wrote as follows to the
Mountainous Maverick:

but some of the things [ have been reading lately
in the papers make me feel as if I ought to butt

down along the reservoir last week and there is

of snow on the level in the higher places and when
this melts it will all flow into the reservoir There

They could empty Camas reservoir and it would

repaired and the other nearly so. They have to
cut out of the bitches so that the water will
