state, the agent, in an interview, expressed it hi
belief that the chairman could have the nomination
for Governor if he will consent to be candidate.
1t observed by the protesting newspaper that
the interview shortly afterwards followed by an
announcement that the chairman had succumbed to
the enormous squeeze applied to him and would be-
a candidate.
In his interview the agent made another remark
that grated harshly upon the sensbilities of the
Troy News. He said idaho will be for Taft at
the first convention while the other will be a
Brady, Borah French, Gooding and Hepburn con-
vention and absolute harmony will prevail"
The News might not object to Mr.. Taft and per-
haps of the Others but it criticses prearrange
ment that takes the work of the party out of the
hands of the party and commits it to the machine.
Right here The News says:
1t is, according to Mr. Munson, already "cut and
dried" as to who is to be nominated and the kind of
a platform that is to be written. Mr. Munson is
fresh from Boise, evidently reliably informed to
the plans of the leaders," and knows what he is
talking about when he says absolute harmony will
prevail" To be plain, these Republican Bosses
have already fixed slate and Latah County Repub-
licans to be traded off to James H. Brady,
CARELESS of the fact that nobody in Latah County
wants him.
And then it serves notice on Congressman French
that if he delivers Latah County to Mr. Brady that
being his home county, he will have to look elsewhere
for the support he may need to secure his return
Congress- This places Mr. French in rather en-
barassng position He has been assured by the her-
archy at Salt Lake that he remain in Congress
long as he remains good and to have the folks at
home interfering with the plans of the church is
peculiarly distressing.
The Congressman is further advised by the Troy
Newspaper that
If he delivers Latah County to James H. Brady,
Congressman French will show himself utterly de-
void of the first principle of honor, and prove him
self, instead of the friend of the people, political
trickster whose sole ambition is to perpetuate him
self in public office.
1t may not have occurred to Mr. French that he
ought to pose a friend of the people when i'm

a. FARMERS OPINION.

Trade at Home was an article
that appeared in republican paper
some time ago in which it criticized
the farmer for patronizing catalog
houses Well, as long as high tariff
continues he must buy where he
thinks his money goes farthest. When
a farmer buys anything he pays from
80 to 80 per cent over and above the
cost of production, while anything he
sells he gets from 10 to 80 per cent
less than the worlds market price.
We notice that some cities and VII:
lagos have empty stores IN consequence
thereof, and how many will follow
God only knows
When you listen to republicans say
that we will have hard times if Bryan
is elected, would say that our fore
fathers fought England for no less a
reason than the tax on tea and I sup
pose they had hard times then, too.
We can't conquer trusts without suffer
ing to some exent and would say to
every voter to stick to democratic
priniples SO that people can buy at
right prices: If they don It I'd believe
this generation is a cowardly one.

HIS ADDRESS IN NEW YORK CITY
Tennesseean Takes Rap at Bryan and
at Omission of Revenue Only
Feature in Platform.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Seldom has
Col. Bryan been so severely arraign-
ed during a political campaign as
here tonight by General Luke +.
Wright, secretary of war, who adj
dressed large gathering at the Ter
race Garden.
General Wright, who was intro
dueed as the democrat having the
honor of holding a cabinet position
under a republican administration"
was greeted with enthusiastic cheer
ing when he appeared on the plat
form.
Unusual interest attached to his
remarks. BY training and education
democrat, he bolted the first nom
nation of Mr.. Bryan in 1896. To-
night he reiterated his opposition
to him and advocated the election Of
Mr.. Taft. He asserted that even the
most friendly judge must admit that
in the election of W. ]. Bryan the
people are making a most hazard
Gus experiment" and predicted that
In the election of Mr. Taft all the
great interests of the country will
be assured of a square deal and will
resume their "march of progress"
BY way of preliminary. Secretary
Wright made some observations on
what he said Mr. Bryan had on sew
eral occasions declared that the pres
ident of the United States is merely
"hired man" VI the people while
such a statement may tickle the
groun1lings." the secretary said. "it
makes the righteous grieve." In no
proper sense. the secretary added, is
he the "hired man" of the people
The omission OF the democratic
platform to declare 70 revenue only,
Secretary Wright said, was not acct
dental. but was intended to present
a plank upon which democratic free
traders and protectionists alike could
stand The secretary said:
II say this because it is a matter
Of common notorietv that there is
a very little. and J may cay growing
element in the democratic party
which favors reasonable protection

thar there are many thousands who

who, the eastern states especially
are for moderate protection, call il
by whatever name you please; and
we know also that in the other sec.
tons Of the country democratic votes
are IA favor Of d continuance in some
form or other Of the protective policy
It must also not be overlooked that
there exists a strong feeling among
the masses Of the republican voters
that many of the existing tariff
schedules are too high and should
be Immediately lowered"
