CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

Two years ago James III. Brady,
chairman Of the republican state
central committee, felt that he
would like TO represent Idaho in the
United States Senate. He was OPP
posed TO the policy Of the state cob
vention endorsing candidate for
that high honor, and through his
friends made fight in the county
conventions against such policy.
When the time for the state convtn-
ton arrived both Mr.. Brady and Mr.
Borah claimed that they could CON
troll the convention. The contest
had become SO warm that on the
eye Of the convention ii was appar-
eut that the only way to avoid a
faciioral fight within the party was
for either Mr.. Brady or Mr.. Borah
to cast aside their personal desires
and unite upon a plan of action.
After conference Of the leaders in
the party Mr.. Brady graciou.ly laid
aside hIs ambtiiion and heartily en-
dorsed the nomination Of Mr. Borah.
HIS action at that time won for him
thousands oi friends throughout the
state and he stood before the repub-
Leans as beng broad minded man
--onc who was more anxious for the
success Of his party than he was for
his own political advancement. He
further aequiesed in the desires Of
the PARTY leaders at that time by
again accepting the craftsmanship Of
the state central committee. lie
worked with untiring efforts during
the campaign, and led the party to
glorious victory.
Today Mr.. Brady stands as .
candidate for the nomination fol
governor, having 80 announced him
self through the columns of the
Pocatello Tribune and Advance last
Saturday. His statement to tho
public Is made in spirit of tirmnes'
and honesty. While aspiring fol
the gubernatorial honor he frankly
states that if the republicans of Ida
10 think it better to select some ont
else, he will cheerfully accept Thu
result and evil work for the success
of the nominee as vigorously a

TELECRAPHERS
FIGHT PHONES
Brotherhood of Telesraphers May
start Move Against Running
Trains by Phones.

A warm fight between the Order OF
Railway Telegrarhers and many OF
the larger railway systems Of the
country Is expected on account of the
action OF some OF the lines in aban-
doning the telegraph system and in
staliing telephones for the operation
OF freight and passenger trains. Tele-
phones are now being used on more
than 5000 miles OF railroad In the
United States and the new system OF
dispatching trains has been approved
by the American Railway association.
A movement is under way to obtain
legislation in various states against
dispatchlng by telephone on the
ground that the method Is unsafe and
"a menace to the lives Of employees,
and the travelling public.
On some OF the lines OF the Penn
sylvania railroad company in the
Pittsburg district telephones are used
exclusively in dispatching trains and
the officials say that the new system
is far superior to the old plan and adj
ditional telephones are being installed
each month.
Thousands of telegraph operators
have been thrown out OF employment
or have been transferred to other de-
partments since the telephone system
has been installed on the 5000 miles
of line. The eight-hour day law for
railway tebegraphers was indirectly
responsible for the installation OF the
Telephones on some Of the roads. ard
the experiment has been so successful
and operating expenses have been re-
duced to such an extent that the tele-
graph system is to be abandoned by
other roads in the near future.
