Mr.. Bradys sentiments on the di-
rect primary were evidently in ac-
cord with the prevailing sentiment
among his auditors, for his utter
ances were cheered heartily
Speaking on the question of local y
option, Mr.. Brady said: THE Re-
! publican party stands on this great
| issue on the American theory that
| the majority must rule. They have
adopted a plank in their platform
pledging for local option by counties, |
as counties are the smallest units in
the state. The plank is full and
frank and means what. 1t says. 1t
gives to the citizens of each county |
| the right to determine this question
for themselves, and is in direct con- |
trast with the policy adopted by the
Democrats, who stood for a time on
two platforms Numerically opposite
and yet in some counties the county
conventions pledged their legisla-
tive ticket to abide to whichever
one the supreme court should decide
} was the true Democratic policy. Here
in Nez Perce county they have re-
sorted to a subterfuge OF pledging
themselves for prohibition or to reg
ulation of the liquor trafic, and one
of the delegates to the Nez Perce
Democratic convention told me that
> the prohibition was to be used before
election and the regulation after
/. election. It ought not to be dimcult
: for the temperance people to choose
. which of the two parties is likely to
3 effect the needed reforms"
ii +. Brady closed on a glowing trib-
r ute to the Republican party In state
: and nation, paying compliment to
: Roosevelt and the man chosen to car
Try out the reforms promulgated by
e the administration. He received an
e ovation when he closed, and when
e the meeting had broken up it was
r noticeable that most of those present
e took occasion to press forward to the
0 platform and meet Mr.. Brady. The
Is impromptu reception lasted nearly
l. half an hour.
Following Mr.. Brady Edwin Snow

It state, spoke ON national issues in a
r forcible and pleasing manner. The
l. meeting was presided over by james
