TROY NEWS PLAINLY TELLS REPUBLICANS OF
Their DUTY TO THE STATE

We never could understand how anyone could have
genuine admiration for Abraham Lincoln and Theodore
Roosevelt and then support the modern boss who
control of the Republican party state and for
his base purposes and have been astonshed that
good could sit idly by and great party prosttued
The editor of the Troy News splendid exception tothe
usual of Republican editors He demands that the
party keep its faith wththe people and that those officials
who violate the party pledges be epudated 1t is refreshing
to read his clear exposition of conditions in this
and make of the following articles from his latest
edition
Suppose the Republican party of Idaho should come
and declare for equal taxation Suppose the party
this year says it stands for direct primary law, Sup
pose it pledges for railroad commission. Suppose the
Republican party of this state places all these measures
and more in its platform and then goes out and declares
that, elected it will carry them out What will these
pledges be worth VIII not the power that defeated
them last session be in power again? Will not Senator Hart
be control in the senate? VIII not the re-
pdators have the same influence they had years ago
And Mr. Brady be elected governor and even though
he stand for all these things will he be powerful than
was Governor Goodng? Frank R, Gooding demanded
that every Republican pledge be carried That demand
was laughed to and treated with disgusting contempt
And there to expect that Mr. Brady even
he inclined could do more What then should the
people do? Do their duty Republicans from every county
the should absolutely refuse to support the party
Refuse until such time ring rule and party perdy
is hopeessly defeated Refuse until Bradyism and his
gang of decetfu lying party traitors be made to give way
for such Frank Wyman, of Boise, who dehed the
gang and insisted voting for the honor and integrity
means continue these repudatOr in power and their
continuation would be insult every honest citizen in
duty these
men 1t is the duty every Republican in Idaho to stand
up and notice that repudlate Republican
pledge and live through it. That the people will not tolerate
deception and that he who has been Judas once will not
by popular consent be given another opportunity 1t is
the duty of the people send repudatng Repubcan1sm
down defeat 1t your duty to stand up and vote tor
the honor and purity of the party that has given this nation
a Lincoln Grant Mckinley, LaFolette and Theodore
Roosevelt
After fighting what it terms Bradys machine methods
the Backfoot Republican that will lay down
and swallow the dose In other words the Republican VIII
support machine methods disgusting as they are just
because the machine happens to be powerful enough to
control the party and pack the conventions In other words
the Bacoot paper saws that will support just anything
that the machine does All the machine has to do toI
get control and herein lies all the trouble For one the
Troy News desires to state with all the emphasis at Our
command that this paper will never support 1achle
methods when the record shows that the machine dis
honest untruthful and corrupt. This paper VIII never
admit that Republican Perhdy RePubhcan hachlne re-
pudiation and Republican falsehood is right SIMPLY pc
cause Boss Brady by virtue of machine methods has the
power to control and does manipulate the party udged
bv its own record the present Republican organization de-
serves defeat and if in the power of the Troy News
tribute to that end we will do duty We will fight just
long there lying platform rePud1aor at the head
of the organization
Imagine Republican who believes in Roosevelt and
LaFoette and other OF clean political IDEAS l1hg up
and supporting Jim Brady and his gang OF PoIcl !8
sters Does anyone imagine President Roosevelt believes
in platform repudation Would President Roosevelt have
stood silently by and allowed Republican patlornl anu
party pledqes to be defeated without vigorous protest
Brady pretends that he insisted carrying out the party
he failed h make himself heard as far away from Boise
Latah County He has failed to protest sufficiently to
offend any of who voted for reputation and ne d
the gang The Republican party edl The liars are now
in control and James H Brady is receiving the united en-
dorsement of these men Certainly MI d B[aoy 5n mas not
offended them If so, what did ne say ana 40!
