opposition because of his being the leading attorney
for the Oregon Short Line railway company IN this
state It will be remembered that Senator Hepburn
received the opposition prior to his election be-
cause of his having been for years big corporation
lawyer Hepburn has made good senator, however,
and it is possible that Brady, if elected might rise
superior to his environments and make good gov
ernor but most people will hold the view that he
would feel under obligations to his former employers
and not be so liable favor legislation detrimental
to their interests he would were he man tree
to act as the occasion demanded.
Nampa Leader-Herad: Some expressed sur
prise because the LeaderHerald did not give unqual
fed approval of all that was done at the republican
state convention. That was because the party does
not know the Leader-Herald. While it makes no
denia-n short is proud of the fact that there is
webbing about its repubcaniSm-it does not follow
that it approve of unfit measures, merely
because the republican party makes the mistake of
advancing them. Happily there not much III
the convention that needed to be d1sapproved
but the Leader-Herad at time expects to palllate
those guilty of violating their instructions
Troy News: When a Brady republican talks about
what the republican party will do if elected just
ask him to explain why the party failed to make good
last time If he says the party is not in favor of
the way the platform repudiated have him
plain why Mr. Brady and the entire gang refused to
condemn the action of the party liars If the gentle
says that Latah county republicans do not in
dorse the record ask why Senator Truitt has been
honored and endorsed. Have him explain why the
party under the leadership of Burton L. French and
c. ]. Munson in the county convention, refused to
condemn republican platform reputation And when
the republican candidates for county offices
around ask them where they stood in the last county
convention If opposed to the resolution endorsing
the republican party in Idaho during the past two
years why did these remain silent, and why did
they vote for such resolution
Nez Perez Herald: The Herald has always adj
ha Of
abest in the United States senate from the
west but it must confess that it very much
prised at his utterances at the convention From his
remarks he says the people have always governed
but in this statement he virtually says that the
people should not govern but that the officer Off
should govern and where the peoples view
f1ic with the officer, the peoples wishes should be
turned down and the individual opinion substituted
If this is what Senator Hepburn terms majority
rule he will find that his conception of the meaning
of this term and that of the people differ very widely
Post Falls Advance: The question arises in poll
teal circles, is Barney O'Nei1 endowed with the
business ability and capacity to charge the wires
and barney the balance of power at Salt Lake that
he is IT for governor, since his elevation to the
publican craftsmanship; that he is the best hickory
material in Idaho and will help bishops in the legis-
lature is every endeavor to defeat direct primary
law, and accomplish" the same little game planned
by his predecessor the endowed and which republic
voters outside of the Church told to ratfy
on election day?
Efk City Mining News Burton L. French, repre-
sentative in congress from the state of IDAHO would
be the candidate the ticket for reelection if
the people ruled instead of the politicians in Idaho
French had been endorsed by nearly every county in
the state. The day before the nomination there was
not the least dissatisfaction to indicate what the fol-
lowing day to bring forth. When Hamers
mentioned in the convention all of those in
structed" delegates experienced sudden attack of
something that is indescribabe to the honest voter
holding the bag, but when quiet restored there
was new 1ine1O of OeOo1e'S choice" that ic
