ALL FOR BRADY.

The republican press of the state
is almost unit for James H. Brady
for governor. There is only one eX-
ception and this paper, leading one,
in speaking of Mr.. Brady's candidacy
was compelled to say nice things
about him, even II 1t was half
hearted, simply for the reason that 1t
was not able to say anything but
what was creditable about Mr.. Brady.
The more thoroughly Mr.. Brady's
candidacy is digested the more en-
thusiastic are the republicans of the
state to promote his nomination, AMI
there is now scarcely any doubt but
that it will be accorded him by accla-
nation.
Here is sample OF the press COM
ments
Shoshone Journal: Hon. James H.
Brady of Pocatello has announced
himself as candidate for the re-
publican nomination for governor.
The formal announcement was made
through the Tribune of his own city
Mr.. Brady Is an Idahoan Of the
do things" type. He Is business
man, with successful business mans
decision, good judgment and ell
ergy. He is not dreamer, an i'm
practical enthusiast; he does things,
and he does them WE'LL Affable and
courteous to a degree, he yet has the
courage and stamina of the man VINO
will succeed by will power. Idaho
needs strong men at the head of gov.
eminent as much as any state. Gov
eminent in a new state like this has
not reached the routine stage where
any honest man can be successful
governor. Initiative is needed. MI
Brady has this. With his honesty, he
would be as good a governor as tho
state could find. Mr.. Brady hardly
needs to pledge, as he does in his an
nauncement, that he will be governed
only by the welfare and the wishes
of the people, and not by any faction,
combination or boss. Those who
know him best, know that he will be
guided only by the public welfare;
those who do not know him, will find
it out. Mr.. Brady has been a hard
worker for the good of Idaho; he IS
a good citizen of Idaho because it Is
his pride to be good citizen. IF
he has ever wished public office, 1t
was with laudable motives He has
taken an active part in politics, as
every good citizen should do. Lin
coin, Mckinley, Roosevelt-all are
true politicians, working through
party lines for the good of their
country. The nondescript who focks
alone can do no good; he can get
nowhere to start his reforms. Mr.
Brady is republican; for in that
party he sees the sum of the largest
good. But he would 60 before the
people as man pledged to the best
good of the whole state, and with 10
party holding a mortgage or a claim
on his opinions or his actions.
AS chairman of the republican
state central committee, Mr.. Brady
has been conspicuously successful.
AS the head of great irrigation,
power, development and other bust
ness enterprises in Idaho, he has done
perhaps more than any other one
man to make productive Idahos
wonderful but latent resources. The
state will not be slow to recognize
and appreciate the opportunity to
secure such trained, unselfish services
in its own behalf.

NOTHING DOING.

Nothing doing in the tariff game
this session Of congress. Joe Cannon
says so, the president agrees and the
congressman will do as they are told
So there is another cause for happi-
ness. We are not going to have that
old tariff of ours touched, and as
long as the tariff is not tinkered We
can rest assured that prosperity is
on the ebb and hard times are in the
past, not to be resurrected until after
the election and the tariff talk can
come again. Great is the tariff.

Alexander Ular, editor of LIE Petit
Journal of Paris, sends back word
that his recently published report OF
an interview with J. Pierpont Nor
gan was correct, notwithstanding Mr..
Morgan's denial. The editor insists
that Mr.. Morgan spoke so freely that
he had no occasion to bring out points
by questioning him. He says he
wrote the interview the same night,
while Morgans words were fresh In
his mind, and that he was particu-
larly struck by the phrases used,
such as: Yes, It is all a social ques-

IN a recent remarkable interview
at Boston, the richest woman in Am
erica had her fling at the fashionable
rich of New York, many of whom she
said had come to her for money dur
ing the panic, and predicted that
Roosevelt would run again and win.
When the crash came she says she
was one of the few who really had
money. She loaned Harry Payne
whitney a million, and others vari-
GUS sums, but refused the Wander
bilts "a loan, although they offered
her the family jewels as security.
Roosevelt, she asserted, was partly to
blame for the panic, and in her opin-
ion he had not made good. "All
this talk of Taft being the nominee
is moonshine," she continued, for
when it becomes apparent that he can
not carry the convention, Taft or
some one will get up and name
Roosevelt, and Teddy will sweep the
convention.
