The above Is announced on the au-
thority OF a prominent politician rs
being the republican ticket stated by
the "Capitol Ring" to be presented
to the state convention which will be
held Ia Boise on September l. 1T
will be seen, says the politician,
that few casual changes have been
made 10 the ticket as Gooding Is su-
perceded by Brady and Robert
Bragaw Is assigned to the rear and
his position selected for Tucker. The
wise ones have IL that Bragaw stirred
up too much OF fuss about the cap
,tol building during the past few
months and rs a result he Is refused
support by the "kine.'' The Good.
Ing supporters like this change all
right but they ere very much opposed
to the sidetrackine Of Gooding for
Brady. However, II does not look as
this could be helped as the Ring"
has selected the Banncok county man
and oil of the present ofiicebolders
are banging onto his coattails ex-
pecting to be switched into the state
building on his election aud land on
soft berths.
THE only concession that the
Ring asks from those whom they
have guaranteed support TO railroad
through the convention, Is that they
deliver their respective counties for
Brady and that the delegates be fixed
before they enter the state conven.
tion. With Snow this Is little DIFF
terent as they are willing to stand by
him 10 he will deliver OF the - del.
egates from Ada county 10 the rest OF
the ticket. They would like the en-.
ire "a delegates out IL is thought
this would be impossible and for this
reason they have figured that IL will
lust take from this county with
the other fixed delegates To railroad
the ticket. With the idea OF cinchinR
SNOW and the chosen delegates the
Ring engineered the organization
OF the Ada County Republican ciut
and IL Is claimed their prime object
is TO boost first, last aud always foi
the Ada county politician.
Church agreed To stay out OF thu
race for the position OF secretary oI
state providing the Ring secured hi'
position as register OF the state lant
board. IL is learned that the leader
had a hard time with Church as h'
aspired to high position and Gov
eted above all that Of secretary o
state. lie was persuaded To let vel
enough alone and with the guaranteed
that he would hold his present posi-
ton decided TO do so. In the mean
time II is up 70 him TO pull oE hi
