Who Is Correct?

Governor Gooding made a speech at
Moscow last week in which he made
some wonderful charges, and stood
sponsor for some of the most notorious
and shameful ringsters in the entire
state. Governor Gooding asked the peo-
pie to vote for Jim Brady for governor.
And Brady refused to say where he
stood on timber extension, question it
took Governor Gooding less than min
ute to answer honestly in Troy four years
ago. And timber extension is the para
mount issue in this campaign. 1t is OF
immense importance, and there is every
reason in the world to believe that the
Weyerhaeuser timber trust will rob the
people and the state of not only millions
of dollars worth of timber but steal,
through corrupt legislature and dis
honest governor, every logging stream in
the state The man whom Gooding
would have the people elect governor
has refused to make his position plain,
and even refused to say anything what
ever, yet Gooding endorses him, and
asks the people to accept him. Gooding
wants the people to accept the man for
governor who skinned farmers out OF a
water ditch, and compelled them to 60
into court to get money that Jim Brady
had repudiated. Yet Cooling thinks
Brady would make a fine governor.
Brady is corporation man, a tool of the
Oregon Short Line, and has a political
record as machine politician that is any
thing but creditable. Months ago the
Bull Pioneer, republican paper, wrote
of Jim Brady, who was then forcing his
nomination through the medium of a
corrupt political machine: $50 far as
The Pioneer has been able to discern

Brady have no particular reasons to
give why Mr.. Brady should head the
state ticket, other than that he was
chairman of the State Central Commit
tee in the last two campaigns and those
campaigns were successful. 1t is hard
to see why this should entitle Mr.. Brady
to the governorship. 1t has been point

Heyburn's Convention Speech.

Star Mirror.
Here is what Senator Hepburn said
at the republican convention at Boise:
"They say give us this law or
give US that law when they fail to
understand what they demand or
ask. Conventions sometimes do not
properly instruct. They are ignorant
sometimes of what should be done.
take this opportunity to refer to
our own resolutions and platform
committee, realizing as 1 do that it
would be well to offer a word of adj
vice, although, perhaps, it may be
little previous" (Applause).
II have always and will always
stand opposed to any attempt on the
part of a convention to legislat. A
convention is not empowered to do so
under any circumstances. The coun-
ties cannot participate in instructing
the legislature. You can recommend
but not legislate. You have not the
power to instruct the legislature. If
representatives feel that it is their
duty to refuse to take upon their
shoulders the obligations which you
have placed upon them toward legis-
lation and they refuse to believe that
is their duty to carry out that obi
cation or obligations, you should not.
as a convention, or individually feel
offended or charge them with treason
10 their party, or party principles.
You cannot. as a convention,
pledge your legislature in the adop-
ton of your platform or resolutions.
You have not that power"
1t will be noted how emphatic Mr..
Hepburn was insisting that the peo-
pie, through their state convention,
had no right to instruct as what leg
islation they wished They may rec
ommend-they may petition, but
they cannot instruct. He has been

On the day after the republican
county convention at Troy, Candi-
date Brady was asked on the street
corner what he would do in case the
timber syndicates would ask for
free extension of twenty years In
which to remove the timber bought
of the state. Mr.. Brady replied that
he did not know that there was any
such issue before the people. Being
assured that the issue was a live
one, he states that he will have to
confer with headquarters before
making any definite answer. The
days have gone into weeks since then
and Mr.. Brady is still confering with
headquarters" Who is "headquar-
tiers? ?" Chairman Barney O'Neil!
Who is O'Nen? He is the man who
is a part of the Weyerhauser timber
trust. He is the man who. as the
agent of the timber trust, appeared
twice before the land board and tried
to secure water and boom rights from
the state in outrageous defiance of
right and the peoples interests.
Brady is comforting with headquart-
ers!-Potlatch Herald (Juliaetta.)

boss. He came TO Troy and said nothing.
He stood up and admitted republican
platform repudiation. Admitted the
shame and disgrace of the republican
party in Idaho during the past two years.
Admitted the defeat of the primary elec-
ton law. Admitted the population Of
plank that promised laboring men pro-
lection from the carelessness of incom-
petent employees. Admitted the defeat
OF Gooding's railroad commission bill.
Admitted the defeat at the hands of a
promised anti-pass law, and an anti
trust law. Brady admitted all this, and
then stood there and said that the Good
ing administration had equalized taxes
because the assessment of railroads had
been raised from 81 800 per mile to SIS.
900. Said taxes were equal in the face
OF the most outrageously unequal assess
ment the state ever has had. Yet Good
ing wants the people to elect Brady, and
Brady with record that smells strongly
of platform reputation.
Gooding plead for votes for Jim Brady
on the ground that Brady stood for loca
option. And local option is not wanted
by any intelligent prohibitionist in the
entire state. Mrs. Sibbitt, prohibition
ist OF national renown, denounced local
option as a mhkeshift, a fraud, and
worse than nothing. Yet Cooling wants

which it is. Mr.. Light says:

when local opiOn is powerless in some
communities to drive out the saloon?"
MIR. Light says that if local option pre-

pleads for Brady votes on the republican
local option plank Which shows that
Frank r. Cooling is still something of a
political josher; something of machine
politician. Brady org missed the ma hine
that made Frank Gooding governor:
Gooding is using his high position as
governor to pay Brady a political debt.
He wants the prohibition voters to al
low Mr.. Gooding to deliver this vote.
And the head political pusher for Jim
Brady is Pocatello brewer named HAYS.
who is also the political boss of the re,
publican party in Pocatello.
Mr.. Gooding also wants the people TO
vote for Bill Stillinger and the entire
gang OF Potlatch legislative candidates
so that these fellows who are silent on
the question of senator can vote for the
reelection of the man who has said that
the people of Idaho don't know enough
to vote. Yes, Governor Cooling had
Bill Sulliner up on the platform there
in Moscow, and asked the citizens of
Latah county to vote for him. And Still
llnger has yet failed to explain WHY he
did, while county attorney of Latah. act
as the private attorney for one McGilve-
ry's dive and advised her to vacate so
that another prostitute might occupv
the house. Yet Governor Cooling wants
the people to vote for Stillinger.

quoted at length so that voters may
note how often he repeated his
declaration.
Then as still further emphasizing
his utter disregard for the people or
the right or power of their represen-
tatives he continued:
Last winter by order of your leg
islature you instructed your fepresen-
tatives to stand for an act providing
for the election of senators by the
popular vote of the people.
1t is only fair that you should know
where 1 stand I objected to this
matters consideration when it came
up on the floor of the senate, relying
on the fact that when I reported TO
my constituents they would have con-
fidence in my refusal to accept the
obligation of the legislature and favor
the action I took" (Applause.) Il

IT am responsible as to my beliefs

sent you and can say so now, at this
