postAl union, one year, IN advance 2
OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.
Now that James H. Brady has an
nOunced his candidacy for the gubcr
material nomination 1t is safe to 81,
the matter Is settled for there Is yer,
little likelihood Of any republican en-
tcring the race against him, and les
probability of such possible candidat,
receiving the nomination.
Every republican must admit Mr.
Rrady's exceptional qualifications ant
his unselfish loyalty to the party II
the past four years, while he served
as chairman of the state committee
entities him to the honor Of unani'
nous and heart-whOle nomination
That this mark OF esteem and appro.
baton Will be given him seems to be
conceded at this time.
In announcing his candidacy, MIR.
brady makes 4 clean statement Of his
position, straightforward and manly,
just what would be expected from
him, and the republicans may feel
proud Of having such candidate and
will feel justly proud when he is
elected governor, which Is the natur-
al sequence, the nomination being
equivalent to election.
Following is Mr.. Brady's state
mcnt:
The prevailing custom with all
political parties, both in national and
state affairs, appears to be that can
didates, especially those for executive
positions, make some statement at
such time as seems best to them re-
garding their intentions.
During the past two months there
have come to me from every portion
Of the state SO many kind suggas-
lions with reference to my candidacy
for governor that / have concluded
to announce at this time that II the
republican party in state convention
assembled shall see lit to name me
for that high office will accept the
same with proper realization of the
honor, dignity, labor and responsible
ity involved.
1T Is but fair to the people, and to
others who may be aspirants. that this
announcement should be made at this
time, and therefore put 1t forth for
what 1t may be worth, asking only
that due considerations be given the
same and that the party pass upon
the question OF the manner that to 1t
may appear best for the interests of
the party organization and for the
welfare of the state. II my fellow re-
publicans think it better to select
someone else for the exalted position,
l shall cheerfully accept the result, as
anyone should who desires to promote
the welfare of his party and state. and
will work for the election OF the /
nomiIee as vigorously as though the
honor had fallen upon my own
'houldersA On tha-ather hand, should
he party Zee fit to place me in nomi-
lation. shall put forth every effort
8 lead the ticket to victory, and,
'eing elected, shall devote all my
ime and all my energies to the up
building Of the state by which I
hall have been SO signally honored.
During the four years I have been
with the duties of the chair
1anship of the state committee, |
ave endeavored always to be vigilant
a advancing the interests of the
arty and promoting the public well
are, and I feel that can leave my
ecord with my party associates with
he assurance that they will give me
redit for having done my best to
the prestige of the organi-
alton and preserve its honor and dig
ity unsullied and untarnished.
I'VE are about to enter upon ma
